I Took the Tyrant’s Virginity - Chapter 2

In her past life, Judith, no, Yoo Hyesung was the third daughter of a wealthy family. A father who is a hospital director, a mother who is a famous lawyer, an older sister who graduated from a prestigious university in the United States and became a professor at the best university in Korea, a younger sister who followed her father to become a doctor.

“Did you get these grades? I am ashamed of you. You are a shame in our family.”

The day she brought her third SAT report card, her father slapped her on the cheek. Although her heart ached, Hyesung still comforted herself.

‘It’s okay. Because I wanted to be a teacher since I was little. And if I go to college, I’ll be able to have a relationship and make friends. After graduating and becoming a teacher, I might be able to leave this house and live alone.’

But that day never came. One week before her entrance ceremony, she was hit by a truck that slipped in the rain and died.

Her life ended in vain.

But when she opened her eyes again, she became a newborn baby named Judith.

‘Judith? This name sounds familiar……’

Judith looked up at the ceiling and thought for a moment, then she fell asleep and repeated it.

After a few days, she remembered.

‘Hang on, here…… is it in a novel?’

This place where she was reborn was the romance novel <For My Emperor> which she read to appease her gloomy heart after her third entrance exam. The approximate plot of the novel was as follows.

The female lead, Serene, is the daughter of a baron. When she was young, she lost her parents and lived with her younger brother. However, her young brother, who was supposed to be a Baron, suffered from an illness from birth and was weak. Serene goes to Isren, the capital of the Valdemar Empire with only one sword to earn money for her brother’s treatment. She only believed in her swordsmanship skills.

Serene gets hurt while performing a dangerous mission to pay for her brother’s medical treatment, and a man helps her in the process. And after a while, Serene goes to take the entrance exam for the Imperial Knights and is reunited with the man who helped her. Through twists and turns, they develop into lovers. That man was Theodore Greenlowe Valdemar, the current emperor of the Valdemar Empire, which has the largest territory on the continent, and the male lead of ‘For My Emperor’. He was born with a diamond spoon as the only child between the Emperor and Empress.

But his happy childhood did not last long. When Theo was three years old, the Emperor brought a concubine. Soon after, the Emperor’s favor turned completely to his concubine. His feelings for Theo also fell to the second prince. And in the end, he was accused of trying to harm the second prince and ordered Empress to commit suicide.

His position after losing his mother became increasingly unstable. To avoid the emperor’s eyes, Theo has been out in war since a young age and wandered outside. It was at that time that the territory of the Valdemar Empire reached its present level.

When Theo was nineteen years old, his father passed away and Theo ascended to the throne. Shortly thereafter, a fire broke out in the palace of the second prince. The fire killed the second prince.

From that day on, the emperor began to punish the nobles who supported the second prince. It was because they spread unreasonable rumors like ‘The Emperor killed his half-brother to secure his position’. No one spoke out, but everyone thought the rumors were fact.

Around that time, there were also rumors that the emperor had been poisoned under the guise of a chronic illness. A tyrant without blood or tears. That was the beginning of the nickname pinned on Theo.

However, as Serene becomes Theo’s knight and gets close, she learns of his childhood wounds, understands him, and takes care of him. The theme of this novel was to show how cold-blooded Theo, who had no blood or tears, met Serene, realized his love, and changed.

On the other hand, the villainess Judith married the male lead Theo by arrangement and became the Empress. But, Judith was killed by Theo’s hand after committing all kinds of evil because she was jealous of Serene.

As soon as she remembered that fact, Judith wanted to cry. Her past life wasn’t that happy either, but this one……

‘Oh, God. Do you hate me that much?’

After being depressed for a few days, Judith suddenly thought something.

‘Hold on, I’m not the real Judith, am I? Shouldn’t it be okay if I don’t like the emperor?’

Come to think of it, the way she defied the fate of the villainess was simple. It’s embarrassing that she’s been depressed for a few days.

‘Alright, I carve my own life.’

Judith first began to melt her father and brothers with her cuteness.

In the original story, Judith’s father and brothers were indifferent to her. It is because her mother, the Duchess of Peregrine, died after giving birth to Judith. They even agree to the execution of Judith in order to save her family after she commits her evil deeds in hopes of Theo’s love.

In the novels she had read in her previous life, there were several ways to avoid this kind of misfortune.

Judith worked hard to radiate her cuteness, waving her hand, laughing, and finally winning their hearts. It was more difficult than she thought to realize what she had read in writing into action, but still, her hard work was not in vain.

However, the problem is that it has gone too far.

‘This is enough for my dad and brothers, and let’s avoid encountering the tyrant emperor as much as possible.’

When you look at that handsome face, you might be tempted. Even though you know it’s a fire pit, you might jump like a fire moth. Judith, who had never been in love, decided to save her feelings from a fire pit called a tyrant emperor. So, on New Year’s Eve parties or Thanksgiving Day, where banquets were held at the Imperial Palace, she lied down pretending to be sick. Instead, she waited anxiously for the masquerade ball in the year she came of age.

‘If I find a good man, I will lure him in and bring him home as my lover.’

⋆⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⊱∘────────∘⊰⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋆

The masquerade ball was a banquet held by the emperor for the young lords and young ladies who would later lead the country and help him. It was perfect. In preparation for the masquerade, Judith took the contraceptive pill a month ago.

And finally, the long-awaited day that has been waiting for decades has dawned.

Judith adorned herself with a beautiful dress and jewels that she had carefully prepared. It was the most important day of her life, so she wanted to look beautiful.

After finishing the makeover, Judith left her brothers who were going to follow her and headed to the Imperial Palace alone.

‘I’m more nervous than the day of the entrance exam.’

The masquerade ball was glamorous. On each of Judith’s birthdays, her father and older brothers used to hold luxurious birthday banquets with huge sums of money, but the splendor of the Imperial Palace was on a different level.

As she entered the hall, men who were fascinated by her beauty that caught a glimpse through the mask came rushing in. But neither of them was to Judith’s liking.

‘It’s cheesy……’

If the expectations are high, the disappointment is also big, and the banquets gradually become boring for Judith. Every time she didn’t want to answer the questions given by the young lords, she drank wine, so she got drunk and lost her mind.

‘I want to go home……’

As she was about to return to the carriage, someone caught her eye. He was as tall as her brothers and had wide shoulders. A blond man with a moderately slender waist stood out under the light of a chandelier.

The moment she met the dark blue eyes staring at her through the mask, Judith had an intuition.

‘That man!’
