I Will No Longer Live As Your Villainess (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 150

Mahari felt joy upon hearing the news that Leona was pregnant, yet worry and a sigh escaped him involuntarily.

In the midst of such sighs, Luans flew into a rage the moment he heard that at the Polloid Empire’s founding anniversary banquet, he had proposed to the Duke de Gloucester’s daughter to become his concubine.

It wasn’t inherently wrong for an emperor to have multiple concubines.

What angered him was that Leona, despite already being his concubine, had to remain hidden like a shadow.

If one placed a proud viscount’s daughter as a concubine, one ought to formally announce her status so the world would know—but Luans’s current behavior felt like hiding Leona as if she were merely a mistress, which left Mahari utterly frustrated.

Though the reason given was Leona’s safety, it deeply wounded her pride that he had impregnated her yet refused to even publicly declare her as a concubine.

On top of that, upon hearing he had even lied about having no concubines while in another empire to seduce the Duke de Gloucester’s daughter, her heart ached so bitterly she nearly wept.

Setting aside the fact that he had disrespected her family, just thinking of how hurt Leona must be drove her to the brink of madness.

Worse still, the noblewoman whom Luans had declared he’d take as a concubine was Lorencia, the illegitimate daughter of House of Count Paul Heredian.

Mahari asked Luans whether the events at the Polloid Empire’s founding anniversary were true.

She didn’t desire the empress’s seat. Nor did she demand he take no other concubines.

She merely wished for her precious daughter to be respected. Thus, she pleaded with Pelena.

Thus began Mahari’s inner torment.

Longing to see his daughter, he begged Pelena for permission to meet Leona—and finally receiving consent, he went to the imperial palace.

Seeing his daughter’s face after so long felt like a breath of life itself.
