I Grabbed the Tyrant’s Heart

Even though I suddenly hugged her tightly, Euseniel patted my back without complaining. I dont have a heart, so a sense of exhilaration rose inside my empty chest.

Yes.

Tell me a time that is convenient for you. I heard there was an urgent meeting in the morning today. Did you run away on your own?

You, if you do this one more time, I will never come to the imperial palace again. Okay?

okay.

Euseniel, who separated me, grumbled.

If you do this, my father will work overtime. If that happens, my mother and Gael will be sad.

Euseniel suddenly looked at me after saying that. The reason was immediately apparent.

It must have reminded her of my parents who confined me.

You see, Euseniel.

The fact that I made a pact with the devil to become a person to your taste, and that my parents tried to kill me because of this.

I wonder what it would be like if you found out.

Will you stand by me in guilt and responsibility?

Will Euseniel be mine?

Just the assumption that it might be so darkened my heart. The devils magic that does not belong to me slowly crept up.

Take her. Restrain her and make her yours.

The devils nature that flows in my blood whispers in temptation.

Maybe youll get her before anyone else touches her.

The whispers were so sweet and strong that I wanted to follow them. But the inside of my mouth was dry.

I wanted to grab her right away.

Are you eating well?

In the blink of an eye, a warm hand touched my cheek. It was the hand of a person with a different body temperature than mine.

Every time I see you, you seem to get thinner. You were a picky eater when you were young, are you still like that now?

no.

With the slightest touch, the devils whisper melted like snow. The fact that Euseniel had reached out to me first made me tear up.

But why is your face so bad? Its dark under your eyes too.

I didnt pretend to be sick today. But if my face is a mess, it must be because I couldnt sleep while thinking of her.

Ill, Ill eat well.

The dark green eyes fixed their gaze on me. She seemed to be looking to determine if my answer had any credibility.

Even if the devils blood flows in me, this body is a humans, so I must constantly supplement my body with nutrients. To be honest, I dont like the meal, but I have no choice but to eat it.

Just out of a sense of duty.

On the day I came for a spar, I will eat with you. But if you dont eat normally, we wont eat together. Okay?

Yes.

Warm up. Youre still cold.

I really liked that you were worried about me, so I couldnt stand it and bit my lips.

Ah, Euseniel. The only person who will love me even if Im not the Emperor.

I think about it dozens or hundreds of times a day.

Shall I send an army down to bring you back? I want everyone in the world to know that I love you.

And lock you in my bedroom and keep you by my side. Then, again and again.

But if I act violent, I wont see the sweet Euseniel, so I have to be patient.

Dont try to fool around like this. Do you understand what I mean, Tess?

Euseniels lips, which had separated from me, are slightly swollen. There were also teeth marks on her lower lip, which made me feel better.

What makes me happy more than anything is the fact that Euseniel likes my kiss.

A rapid pulse, flushed cheeks that can be felt through the neck from the back of my hand. If I hold her firm chest, she will be tense, right?

Yes, Euseniel. I will do as Euseniel tells me.

Euseniel, who grumbled if I was a child, looked at me again with a serious face. The perfect features were shining brilliantly today, but what I like the most is the wet lips.

Tess.

Huh?

You cant lie to me.

Hiding is fine, but dont lie.

I tried to touch Euseniels swollen lips, but stopped in fear.

You understand?

yes.

The dark green eyes staring at me sparkled deeply.

Did she find out something from my reaction?

Euseniel, she always knew my condition right away.

When I got scolded by my mother and went to her, she looked at me carefully, closed the book she was reading, and stroked my hair. When others gossiped about me, she hugged me tightly as if she was telling me not to listen.

Its probably not because she was a half-elf, sensitive to others feelings. Because she is terribly indifferent to others.

When you know all about me, what face should I make?

* * *

I sneered as I sat alone in the carriage moving without rattling.

It is clear that Tess is hiding something from me. How blatantly relieved he was when I mentioned the Deuce!

I borrowed a few more books from the temple and read them. The priest named Calisis used to observe me with a curious expression.

The priest did not hide his interest, but his recommendations were useful. So even though I wanted to retort to him several times, I held back.

The books Calisis recommended certainly helped me a lot in getting closer to Tess. I wondered if he was deliberately trying to reveal his true identity.

Does that mean he knows Tess well? How did he want me to know and react to Tess?

Well, you know how to do what I want?

I wanted to go to the temple with my mother and get confirmation that he was a dragon, but I couldnt because the timing didnt match every time.

First of all, I sent a letter to Ber, but when will the reply come?

It is not the official religion of the Northern Empire.

What if the reason there are so many Lux Temples actually has a purpose? And if the cause is because of someone I know?

Tess, who was anxiously clinging to me.
