I Possessed the Wicked Empress (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 2
Because he had desperately acted to hide his true feelings, Leopold was always a courteous gentleman in front of Ermedilin.
Moreover, thanks to his naturally affable personality, he had become a well-known and quite popular figure in Trivian’s high society.
But that outward demeanor was merely a mask worn by someone skilled in social life.
As could be seen even from the “Intelligent but Guilty Man” incident, Leopold was, at his core, someone who loved himself immensely.
Of course, he didn’t flaunt it openly everywhere, but before close acquaintances, he would confidently praise himself without hesitation.
Pelio’s occasional self-praise was practically adorable in comparison.
Furthermore, contrary to appearances, Leopold’s usual disposition was rather laid-back and sly.
Beleste, who was always precise and efficient in everything, would shudder at his temperament and scold him whenever she happened to get entangled with him over business.

He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
