Chapter 219 - Chapter 110 (1) - Do You Not Love His Majesty?

[Side Story: The Second Episode]

“I have finally become the Empress.” In a room where she had been left alone, Rosemond muttered these words, full of delight, as if she was walking on a cloud. “Finally, finally!”

“Your Majesty, please take it easy. His Majesty the Emperor will be arriving soon, if I am not wrong?”

As Glara provided her words of caution in a more tender voice than usual, Rosemond nodded her agreement with an expression filled with joy, “Right. That is true.”

Although there had only been few and far between visits to her lately, tonight was the first night she would welcome him after becoming the Empress, so it was obvious that he would be coming to visit her.

Rosemond fiddled with her fingers, her expression showing just how much her heart was fluttering. She had a face like a girl who had fallen in love for the first time and mumbled like a child who was so pure that she knew nothing about the world.

“Now all I have to do is give birth to the Crown Prince.”

“Oh dear, Your Majesty,” Glara calmly comforted Rosemond as she said, “You can take your time and go slowly. There is no one in this Marvinus Empire who can stop Your Majesty. Your Majesty is the Empress of this nation, and the future child you give birth to will soon become the future Sun of the Marvinus Empire. What are you so worried about, Your Majesty?”

“I am not worried, Glara. I simply do not believe in His Majesty.” Rosemond raised a cool smile as she muttered, “I do not trust him. It is a foolish act to place trust in a man.”

Having said that, she added the following words with an even colder demeanor, “Especially if that person is the monarch, then even more so.”

“But… do you not love His Majesty, Your Majesty?”

“Love?” She snorted in laughter. “That is correct, Glara. I am in love with that man. My Majesty the Emperor, who has now officially become my husband. And the man who will become the father of my child one day.”

“…”

“But Glara, I love the things that he can give to me even more. Status, wealth, and the power he can bring to me! Things such as that.”

“Yes, Your Majesty…” Glara did not know how to react to what she had just listened to, so she just continued to pay attention to Rosemond. She actually felt sorry for the Emperor. -At the very least, His Majesty seems to really like the Empress…- Glara was thinking, but soon snapped back to a reality full of surprise when she heard the voice of a maid from outside the room.

“Your Majesty the Empress, His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!”

“Oh my!” Rosemond faked a shocked expression and released a cute squeal, “Hurry and escort His Majesty in. Such a precious person cannot be left waiting outside, after all?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Soon the door opened and Lucio came into the room, and Glara took notice as she tactfully snuck out of the room.

Rosemond was so happy to see Lucio in her quarters after such a long time that she embraced him with arms wide open.

“Your Majesty,” Rosemond called out to Lucio in a coquettish voice, stroking his chest with her fingertips, “I missed you, Your Majesty.”

“I missed you too, Rose.”

“You looked so cool and amazing earlier at the cathedral,” she whispered in an ecstatic voice, “I wanted to kiss Your Majesty in my arms right that instant.”

“It is a relief that you did not do that.”

“Of course, I did not.” At this point, it was normal for Lucio to hug her first, but today he seemed a little shy to Rosemond. But whatever, it did not matter. Whoever initiated it first did not matter, as long as the conclusion was the same? She started out by licking the nape of his neck, and then moved on to covering Lucio’s lips with her own, as she kissed him with a seductive expression.

“Haaa…”

“Heungghh… ahh… Your Majesty,” she let out a few groans in a more obscene manner than usual. Rosemond swore to have his seed planted into her womb that very night. She was already the Empress, the most noble woman in the entire Marvinus Empire, but that alone was not enough.

There had to be something that would cement her status in the most concrete way possible. And for her, it was to give birth to a prince. To be precise, the Crown Prince who would become the heir and succeed the Marvinus Empire!

“Your Majesty… to the bed…” She had to be the one to take the lead, no matter what happened. Work and love was something that she had always planned accordingly for, and they had to remain firmly in her grasp. So, that was why it had to be her who was going to also lead the main event for that night.

Rosemond quickly unfastened the buttons on Lucio’s clothes. Her hands deftly unbuttoned his clothes, and were quite skilled, to say the least.

“You seem so urgent with your needs today…”

Rosemond answered Lucio’s observation, “Because I was thinking only of Your Majesty all day long, and my body has been getting hotter and hotter, to the point of burning for you.” This was a lie. In the first place, she was not someone who could be so lustful. It was only that she had realized at too early an age that her body could be used as a weapon. Well, she did not care either way now…

She whispered, lowering her voice to the fullest, “Look forward to it, Your Majesty. Even if we both end up not sleeping at all today, I will not let go of you all night.”

—–

“Mmm…” Rosemond tossed and turned before she woke up. -Yesterday… what time did I fall asleep?- After trying to recall for a moment, Rosemond soon gave up on thinking about it altogether. It was a useless thought, as she had almost fainted at dawn after how long they had been going at it.

The first thing she did after that was to brush the side of her lower belly. Of course, it was not possible for a child to have already been formed. But sure enough, that would be the case someday…

-Within this belly that is flat for the time being, a child will soon form who will one day then rule over this great Marvinus Empire…!- Rosemond felt triumphant as if she had already become the Dowager Queen Mother with that fact alone.

-Since I tried that hard last night, there should be some good news soon enough.- Rosemond believed in this future outcome steadfastly.

“…Rose?”
