How could she envy that life, depending on a man’s love?
Lenisha chuckled.
“It seems the Empress is also enjoying herself.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Canaria is getting more beautiful. Just looking at her makes me feel good.”
“Really? The Empress should also have someone around to make her happy like me.”
Lexus said, stroking his chin.
Lexus’s eyes, filled with madness, looked back and forth between Lenisha and Casius.
Casius scowled at the feeling of being licked by snakelike eyes, and Lenisha just laughed it off.
‘What the hell is that bastard thinking?’
And in front of his own wife, flirting with the concubine.
‘Crazy man.’
He didn’t even want to associate with the emperor of this country.
Casius felt that his hardwon past, struggling to become a noble, had been rendered worthless.
To become a person who neither knows shame nor decency, Casius had not led his war to victory by sacrificing his own body.
Casius looked away.
He felt like getting up from his seat right away.
Lenisha grabbed Casius’s wrist tightly.
It would have been hidden under the table and not visible to anyone, but the cool and thin fingers must have been Lenisha’s.
Lenisha’s palm was soft and moist.
As if Casius, who had been fighting and living with his comrades on the battlefield, were of a completely different race…
Casius gritted his teeth. His Adam’s apple bulged.
He hadn’t felt anything even when Madame Turiel had groped his body like pork for sale and measured his humiliation…
His heart felt like it was jumping up.
Casius barely looked at Lenisha with rolling eyes.
Lenisha was still smiling at the emperor, locking eyes with him.
“How could I, Your Majesty? I only keep my place as Your Majesty’s companion.”
Lenisha’s smile had dried up.
“…Really? If the Empress says so, it must be. I thank those who have attended this place today. I invited you all because I have been busy with public affairs and have put off what I wanted to do. Before we eat, first… Sir Casius?”
Casius, whose name was called, slowly stood up.
Lenisha’s hand slid gently off Casius’s hand.
What did it mean? Casius gritted his teeth.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
He couldn’t ask what he was really curious about and only gave a stiff answer.
Casius’s wild golden eyes clashed with the emperor’s languid ones.
The emperor smiled.
“You must have been disappointed with me! I’m sorry, truly sorry. Though this position may seem to do nothing, there are many things to do. Many people to meet. Much to do, and many obligations.”
Lexsus suddenly bowed and grabbed Canary’s chin, who was sitting.
“Ah…!”
Before Canary could scream, Lexsus passionately sucked her lips.
A vulgar sound echoed in the banquet hall.
Canary’s face turned bright red.
Turning his head, Lexsus who stared at Casius smiled.
“There’s an obligation like this, too.”
Lexsus’s flickering eyes now turned to Lenisha.
Lenisha was sitting undisturbed to Lexsus’s right.
Lexsus grabbed Lenisha’s wrist and pulled her up from her seat.
Drawing Lenisha into his arms, Lexsus bit her exposed neck.
Lenisha’s eyes narrowed.
With a breath of disgust, Lenisha slowly pulled away from Lexsus.
If he’s doing this to provoke Casius, it would be best to endure it.
Lenisha covered her neck with her palm and retreated.
“There’s an obligation like this, too. I’ve been forgetting you because of that. Empress, please sit down again.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Casius’s eyes blazed with anger.
Lenisha is a noble person. If she is a child of Rotera, she should be.
Honoring pride and dignity…!
But now, she’s been humiliated in front of people.
The audience was quiet, but everyone present saw what had happened to Lenisha.
‘Why on earth would he go that far?’
Lexus spoke to the silent Casius.
“Now, it’s time to reward you! I’ve been thinking, you know. This war was led by the Rotera family, wasn’t it? Bestow the Duke of Rotera. You are now Casius Rotera!”
Lexus laughed a crazy laugh.
His wide eyes were soaked with something flickering.
Casius cursed inwardly.
“Now, aren’t you happy! You are washing away the sin of the traitorous Rotera family, aren’t you?”
The emperor walked over to Casius and grabbed his shoulders.
‘This crazy bastard…!’
How dare, Rotera, his idol, be defiled by the emperor? It was time to think if he needed to endure any longer.
He caught Lenisha’s eye.
Lenisha’s pink eyes were staring at Casius.
Lenisha licked her lips as before.
‘Your Majesty, it’s an honor.’
Casius clenched his teeth.
His current anger was not like before, ignorant and compliant…!
‘I must behave.’
Lenisha grinned with a cocked chin.
What the hell does that woman think of Casius? A wellbehaved puppy?
Casius turned his fierce eyes to the emperor.
As Casius took a deep breath, his threatening body writhed.
People thought Casius would slap the emperor.
Casius bowed his head and licked his lips.
“It’s an honor, Your Majesty.”
He ended up behaving obediently as Lenisha ordered. Damn it.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
