EBS - Chapter 19 < I Only Have Your Majesty >




It would have been good if they had chased them away, but if they had stuck with them throughout the victory ceremony, they would have really gone crazy.

“What kind of sword is that? Who else are you going to kill with that blind weapon?”

Titi clicked her tongue as she recalled what her father had asked for.

Gelard already had a history of killing people.

This was before Titi had even entered the Louvre.

He usually liked to go down to the houses of the commoners in the territory and pick a fight with the residents, but that day, his mind was so messed up that he couldn’t stop beating up people.

It was fortunate that the dead man was a commoner, so the Count could settle it with money. She would have been labeled the murderer’s daughter.

There was not a single thing they wanted to ask for.

However, if they didn’t give it to him, he would have pestered them until he got it.

‘Yeah. That sword, why wouldn’t I give it to you?’ 

There was no need to ask the Emperor.

She could just find a decent sword and say it was a gift from the Emperor to Gelard.

As long as it didn’t hit anyone with the sword, it wouldn’t matter if it was aimed at her.

Titi had decided to give it to him, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she got...

‘Those damn fools.’ 

How could the family that served as the backdrop be so stupid?

She had been trying to maintain her expression at the banquet hall earlier, and her face was about to twitch. Thinking back on that stupid sight, she was once again annoyed. Just then, a mute maid was cleaning up some broken glass near where Titi was sitting. Titi, who had been staring blankly down at the sight, stepped on Luna’s hand. 

“Ugh-?!” 

“Shut up.” 

Sharp glass shards filled the maid’s hand, which was caught between her shoes. 

Knock. 

The glass dug into her delicate flesh. Soon, her hand was covered in blood. 

“Oh, what the hell is this that really hurts my feet.” 

The shoes were pretty, but they were still sore from wearing them for so long. Since the Count and his wife stayed late at the palace, she was still dressed in her banquet attire. She was still annoyed, but she felt a little better when she saw the deer crawling like an insect under her feet. Titi raised her chin haughtily. 

“You there. Get ready for my bath.” 

“Yes!”

The maid who had been ordered hurriedly headed to the bathroom. Titi stood up while stepping on the maid’s hand and then finally removed her shoes. 

“Don’t even think about coming into the bathroom. Just clean up the room. Restore it to its original state. You know?” 

Dirty blood mixed in the fragrant bathtub. Just imagining it was horrible. Luna nodded. Titi clicked her tongue as she looked down at the sight. 

“You look even more sluggish because you can’t speak.” 

She had deliberately brought in a defective maid to leave a good impression on others, but now she felt like she had done something wrong. 

“Well, I can always change a maid.” 

If it really bothers her, she can just get rid of it. But that was only possible after building up an image. In the meantime, the bath preparations were complete. Titi went into the bathtub filled with flower petals and bath salts. Her stiff body, perhaps because of all the chaos she had caused earlier, relaxed. Still, her feet, which had been wearing shoes all day, were sore. 

Titi, who leaned her head against the edge of the bathtub, lifted both feet out of the water. 

“Massage your feet.” 

The maid hurriedly applied perfume and massaged her feet. It made her laugh to see the maid moving hurriedly at her words. The maid was a lioness who had become Titi’s maid because her family had fallen. 

“This is exactly what I want.” 

Everyone, regardless of whether they were carnivores or herbivores, knelt at her feet. She was an albino, so she had to be careful of the sun, but her body itself was not weak. 

Sometimes, pretending to be weak was annoying, but Titi knew well that it could be a useful weapon if used well. Titi, who closed her eyes for a moment and opened them again, had a sharp glare in her eyes. 

“I’ll kill you.” 

Just a rabbit. She clearly remembered the face of the beast that had openly laughed at her at the banquet hall earlier. And she wouldn’t leave that coyote alone. Titi, who had vowed revenge, looked down. 

“If I have this, anything is possible.” 

She lovingly caressed the Emperor’s name engraved on her right chest.

Before she had the title of mistress of Emperor, Titi lived in a back alley in a remote region.

After being abandoned by her parents at a very young age, she made a living as a pickpocket and became a flower seller when she grew up.

All she had accumulated to survive was evil and venom.

Because she was born an albino, she had been targeted by thugs more than once. She never wanted to go back to her dirty and vulgar life. She never wanted to go back to the past when she lived on hard bread.

'If I can get His Majesty to come over perfectly, I can even take down the Louvre.'

The Countess was also a deer beast, so she had only entrusted her body to her, and they were not even cousins.

It was a shame that it wasn't yet the right time.

More than anything, it was most important not to offend 'that guy'.

Titi got up from the water.

It was not her job to dry her body or dry her hair, but the maid's job.

It had been quite some time since she had been served, but it was always a pleasant experience to recall the changes from the past.

It was when Titi was putting on a chemise over her warmed body.

“My lady. His Majesty is coming.”

“What?”

She had thought he wouldn’t come today since he hadn’t been seen during the entire banquet.

Titi took off the chemise she had been wearing.

“Bring me ice water. Quickly!”

“Yes? Yes!”

At her urgent command, the maid brought a basin full of ice water.

Titi went back to the bathroom to cool down her warmed body in the cold water.

She came out of the bathroom only after her lips had turned blue.

It didn’t take long to get ready. The less lifeless she looked, the better. Titi, wearing only a pure white, thin indoor dress and a lavender shawl, went out to greet the Emperor.

Demios, who had been somewhere, was still in his banquet attire.

“Your Majesty. Welcome.”

Titi approached him cautiously and leaned her cheek against his chest.

“I was worried because you didn’t come back until the banquet was over.”

The face he looked at when she raised her head was expressionless. Normally, he would have hugged her when she hugged him like this.

Today, Demios’ mood seemed low.

Titi instinctively avoided him.

When dealing with the back alley beasts, all she had to do was keep an eye on her survival.

However, she couldn’t stand here forever.

“You look tired. Should we go in?”

“...Sure.”

It was hard to hear a single answer, but she was used to it now. He seemed to be the type to keep quiet.

Titi immediately guided him to her bedroom.

Then, she volunteered to take care of Demios’ clothes.

Titi couldn’t take his eyes off the Emperor’s naked body.

He was a more beautiful male than a woman, but his body, which was completely exposed like this, seemed to perfectly sculpt his masculinity.

‘I’m going to make him mine.’

Titi vowed.

She would definitely have absolute power and a perfect male.

As Demios, who was wearing a veil, climbed into bed, Titi immediately dove into his embrace.

“I’m glad you came.”

Since she had cooled her body to the point of shivering, Demios’s body felt even hotter.

She shrank to make her small figure look even more fragile.

“Your Majesty likes weak females.”

A delicate female body that clings to him as if she can do nothing without him.

This was something she had realized while being with Demios.

Look now.

Aren’t the eyes that had been hardened all along loosening?

The Emperor liked it the most when she acted as if she couldn’t do anything without him.

“Your body is too cold.”

“I’m cold, Your Majesty.”

How hard it was to hear those words.

However, it was worth enduring the pain in her flesh and the ice water.

When she added a sad expression to this, he asked,

“What happened?”

“...Well, the truth is...”

Tears welled up in her large eyes.

Titi began to tell the story of what had happened at the banquet hall.

Of course, she packaged it as she pleased.

“...I thought that Your Majesty listened to me because I was concerned about the expedition.”

A few weeks ago, Titi had asked the Emperor about the Duke of Leopold. She was curious about how great a male he was and how he had succeeded in subduing the barbarians.

However, the Emperor’s response was extremely cold.

‘Don’t get involved with him.’

Since it was a situation where she could be in big trouble if she said the wrong thing, Titi answered that she would do so.

However, it turned out that the Duke was the Empress’s lover.

“Even human women are quite great.”

Not only did she marry the Emperor of the Beastkin and become the Empress, but she even had the Duke of Leopold in her skirt.

He was a male too precious for a mere human to possess.

Titi glared at the Emperor without the Emperor knowing.

Even if she couldn’t reach the Duke of Leopold, she had to see that coyote beat up.

She told him about her parents being humiliated by the coyote.

“I think my father was very surprised.”

She left out the reason why it happened.

However, contrary to her expectations, the Emperor did not act as she wished.

“I told you not to get involved with the Duke, and that includes the punitive force. Remember that.”

Again.

That scary face when Titi first mentioned the Duke of Leopold.

Coyote was so angry, but Titi realized that he couldn't bring up the story any further.
