Chapter 9 – Education
Violetta glanced at the man sitting next to her with an uneasy look.
My heart couldn’t calm down at all when I thought that even the teacher I trusted had fallen under that man’s spell.
No matter how hungry she was for warmth, she was foolishly lured by the man’s intentions. I felt like I had fallen prey to the fly hell.
Imagining what would happen from now on, Violetta bit her lip. When she lowered her head, I saw her legs trembling involuntarily.
She was so nervous that Tyr’s mouth finally opened.
“Majesty. How much do you know about the current situation in the palace?”
“Yes?”
Contrary to what she was worried about, when a more normal topic came out of Tyr’s mouth, Violetta asked stupidly.
She thought that a twisted and nonsensical sentence would pop out somewhere…….
Was the worry just for nothing? Or is there some other insidious plan? Nothing had happened yet, but Violetta couldn’t shake her anxiety.
After catching her breath several times, she answered calmly.
“…… I don’t know because I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve been outside my bedroom in the last month or so.”
“Have you been stuck there for a month? Why did you do that?”
“That, that…….”
With a slightly embarrassed expression, Violetta blurted out what she was saying behind her back. It was something she had a hard time explaining.
She quietly rolled her eyes and glared at the seat next to her. The man just shrugged his shoulders in her tone of asking what to do.
Violetta had to quell her emotions boiling inside her.
“If it’s difficult to talk about, that’s fine. Let go of the past. First of all, Your Highness must be aware that His Majesty’s illness is getting worse day by day.”
“Ah yes. It has been several years.”
“Then, do you know that there was a crown prince installation not too long ago?”
“Yes?”
It was the first time.
Violetta blinked her eyes.
She said, “I heard that there was an installation ceremony on my way back to the ecliptic. It’s something she’s been putting off since the death of the first prince due to a fall from his horse, but His Majesty now has to think about the next generation too…… Your Highness, did you really not know?”
“It’s the first time I’ve heard of it……. Who became the crown prince?”
“This is Liam.”
“…… My brother.”
Liam, her half-brother.
A year ago, the eldest son, originally the crown prince, died of a fall from a horse, so it was not strange that Liam, the second son closest to the throne, became the crown prince.
As the emperor’s illness worsened and the timing was fluctuating due to various other events in the palace, the installation ceremony was postponed day after day, but in the end it was a planned result.
It was only that Violetta forgot her own situation and shed her sighs.
“I-I can’t do this. To proceed with the ceremony without saying a word to me…… ?”
“His Highness said that he had been locked out of the room for a while. Even so, it’s a bit strange to proceed with the work while excluding one of the potential successor candidates…….”
“Ah…”
In the end, it was all because of the man’s trick.
Because no one in her imperial palace could properly recognize her. Even her entourage.
There is no one to object to, so what is there to hesitate about?
In fact, from the beginning, there was no royal family that could be said to be her big rival her except Violetta and Liam.
It was only natural that this happened.
Violetta forgot that there was a man sitting next to her and held her face her.
‘What on earth have I been working hard on?’
A feeling of desolation arose.
There were no grandiose aspirations like becoming emperor and doing something. Still, she wanted to become emperor. It was her purpose in her life and her means of self-proving. Because she grew up with high expectations from a young age, she did not know of any other way of life.
In the end, she was just inertia without a solid purpose. Inertia was important to one’s life. Do you know what happens when a rolling wheel loses its inertia? Idling in place and falling over.
I don’t know if she would rather have been defeated fair and square after fierce competition, but Violetta just fell flat one day because of an uninvited guest who suddenly came into her life.
When she was confined to her room and only to be harassed by men, she was the throne and emperor, and she had no time to think. It is only now that I realize how pointless pain those times were. Even after hearing the circumstances of the incident, she could not help but remain calm.
“His Highness, isn’t everything over yet? That is why I urgently asked for a conversation today.”
“…… What can I do now?”
“Anything.”
“Am I even going to kill Liam with my own hands…… ?”
“Wouldn’t it be possible to reverse the situation without necessarily having someone die? After all, everything in the world depends on what I do.”
It was a significant word.
‘What the hell can I do now?’
Violetta couldn’t understand what her teacher was saying.
Her heart was already filled with pessimism and powerlessness.
It was then.
Suddenly, she felt pain gripping her chest.
“Huh?!”
Violetta was started and glared at the seat next to her. The man reached out to her and grabbed her breasts.
“Mumumu, what, what are you doing?! What the hell are you doing in front of the teacher…… !”
“Majesty!!”
“Heeep?!”
Violetta hiccupped at Tyr’s sudden outburst and her body trembled.
I couldn’t figure out the context of Master, who had been laughing benignly until just before, suddenly shouted.
Violetta recoiled as she reflexively wondered what she had done wrong.
“Your Highness, how rude is this!”
“Yes, courtesy…… ?”
“Your Highness is an honorable imperial family. But since my assistant only touched my breasts, such a vulgar response! Heaven and earth will lament it!”
Violetta’s mouth opened slightly.
“Uh, what the hell is that…….”
“As a member of the imperial family, as a woman in the empire, it means that you must accept the lust of men without avoiding them.”
“So you’re saying I just had to stay still when my breasts were touched?”
“Rather, you should have held it out so that it was easy to touch. Huh, it looks like you really forgot all manners and duties while I was away.”
“…….”
I was speechless, so I couldn’t speak.
She pursed her lips and glared at the seat next to her. The man was nodding his head with a very amused look. His hand his on his chest her didn’t even want to come off.
In this situation, should I have made it easier to touch her breasts? What the hell does that mean?
‘I’m dizzy.’
It seems like we were having a very serious conversation just a few minutes ago. Things have changed like flipping a coin. In terms of fiction, the genre has changed. To that man Her teacher her, her life her, all of this was just something playful, like a character in a novel.
Right.
Then the man quietly snapped his fingers.
Violetta felt as if the atmosphere of her space changed in an instant.
The surroundings became quiet.
Violetta slowly rolled her eyes. Tyr, who had been shouting with her high-pitched voice her, stood still in that position. It was as if time had stopped for her.
“You… What did you do?”
“I have a story I want to tell just the two of us.”
“The story I want to tell…… ?”
He smiled and, without answering, pressed Violetta close to her. He puts his arms around her as if to put her on her shoulder her, then puts her hands down and starts touching her breasts again in a very comfortable position. It was a rough hand without the slightest consideration. Violetta lowered her head, her shoulders shaking at her contempt her. The man spoke in a quiet tone, as if whispering.
“Do you want to become emperor?”
“…… Why is that?”
“As you know, I have the ability to easily make your wishes come true. If you want, I can crown you right now. The emperor should be someone special like you, shouldn’t he? I’m not the kind of person who would give you my heart if you pointed my finger at me.”
Violetta shut her mouth. Her words sounded as sweet as the devil’s temptation.
In fact, anyway, it was a promise of a seat on the universal table. He also said that he would make her dream her, which had just been stranded, come true.
Is this a man’s carrot? Since he has suffered so far, it may be a reward given by his whim.
“I can’t be like an emperor and stay locked up in a room all the time. I’ll let other people recognize you as normal, as well as cancel your confinement. If you get my help, you will be able to achieve unprecedented peace and quiet. You will be remembered as a sage that will go down in history.”
Stories as sweet as honey popped out one after another.
Violetta couldn’t figure out why the man was making such an offer. In addition, she is missing all the conditions and duties that she must perform, which should follow her proposal her.
‘What the hell is he thinking?’
In fact, trying to understand a man may be meaningless. He was a do-it-yourselfer because he had the ability to do just that.
Violetta couldn’t answer easily. She felt frustrated as if a stone had been placed on her chest her, even though it was obviously a sweet proposal.
Eventually, after a long silence, she impulsively shook her head.
“…… I do not need. The throne you get by fawning over someone like you.”
She herself did not know why she had refused so firmly.
It just seemed like something big would be lost if I accepted this.
After hearing Violetta’s answer, the man said nothing. His expression his seemed to be somewhat disappointed, but on the other hand, he seemed very satisfied.
It was clear from his reaction that he had made such an outrageous proposal with some definite purpose of his own. However, from Violetta’s point of view, there was no way to know the details.
“If you don’t like it, don’t.”
It was a very insignificant remark for abruptly removing the seat of the continent’s hegemony.
The position he had longed for with all his life was only that meaningful to that man after all. He is a position in which he can bestow anything he pleases, as long as he can accomplish a trivial purpose. Violetta had to work diligently to calm down her raging emotions.
The man raised his left hand and snapped his fingers once more.
Right!
Tyr, who had been stationary, began to move again. As if splicing together her broken scenes her, she resumes the conversation the man had before snapping his fingers his.
“I can’t. I thought that Your Highness was so clever that he didn’t need any more education, but it seems I was all wrong. It’s not your fault. All of them are my vices. All schedules for today will be canceled. Let’s urgently proceed with service training. Assistant, can I borrow your body for a moment as a teaching aid?”
“Of course.”
The man smiled and replied as if he had waited.
