Who Stole The Empress - Chapter 156

Chapter 156. The wild dog outside the fence

***

***

At the unexpected confession of Perso, Anna looked very upset.

 

Asha didn’t ask Anna anything.

Although she didn’t ask, Anna briefly told her the conversation.

 

Even Asha and Anna, who did not know much about a man’s heart, knew enough that Perso had come because he was genuinely worried about Anna’s well-being.

 

Anna was determined to send Perso out, but she couldn’t throw away the cookie package he had given her.

With complex eyes, Anna returned to her room, carrying a package full of sweet treats.

 

“It seemes like he’s (Perso) going straight to the imperial palace.”

 

Tamon said to Asha, who entered the room after a short conversation with Anna.

 

“Because he passed through the gate so loudly, it must have entered the emperor’s ears.”

 

The news that Gertium had arrived in Bern had already spread widely throughout the capital. Asha and Tamon also heard the news as soon as he passed the outer city walls of the capital.

 

Also, the moment she learned that the place Perso had run to was Anna’s mansion, Asha had a hunch that he would come to this place.

 

Of course, if Betty (the maid) had been warned to be more careful, Perso wouldn’t have followed her.

However, Asha thought that it would not be bad to meet Perso in person because of this, so she intentionally brought him in.

 

“He seems to be a little different from the previous Gertium.”

 

Asha changed into her comfortable clothes and combed her hair.

 

Gillotti was furious and gave the order to catch the ghost of the former Empress, so for the time being, she was going to be careful.

 

It seemed that the effect of putting pressure on Gillotti was sufficient, so she had no regrets.

 

Tamon took the comb from her and brushed her hair.

 

Her silver hair, flowing smoothly in the dim room, fluttered as gracefully as the Milky Way.

 

“Could that be a variable?”

 

“Maybe.”

 

Tamon’s hand was so languid that her eyes closed automatically.

 

Just as she thought it would be good to fall asleep like this, something fell on her lap.

 

Raising her half-closed eyes loosely, she looked down at the small pocket on her knees.

 

Somehow, the pocket shape was not unfamiliar.

 

“…… What is this?”

 

Despite her question, Tamon continued brushing her hair without answering with a face as if he didn’t know.

 

But Asha could see his mischievous smile.

 

Asha looked suspiciously at him and the pocket he had thrown at her, then gently lifted the pocket

 

The cloth pouch was very light, as if nothing was in it.

 

However, she could see something crunching inside, even though it looked empty.

Asha carefully opened the pocket. And as she looked down at what was inside, she burst into laughter.

 

“Why did you pick all the flowers in the lobby like this?”

 

“I don’t think you like sweets.”

 

“Do you think I like flowers?”

 

“Flowers go well with you.”

Tamon spoke quietly and flipped the pocket over Asha’s head.

 

Tiny flowers the size of her fingernails poured over her head.

 

Violet flowers hung like jewels through her carefully combed hair.

 

“Look at this.”

 

Tamon lifted her chin and murmured with a more confident look on his face.

 

“It suits you so well.”

 

His head lowered slowly.

 

Red cheeks, thick earlobes, and round forehead, lips poured out seamlessly.

 

He reached out and lifted Asha’s chin. He entered without hesitation through the gap between her lips slightly opened due to the raised chin.

 

His breathing, licking and sucking her up like a thirsty man, got a little rougher. As if he wanted to swallow all of her saliva, he kept pressing her lips. When the momentum was too strong, Asha slipped back, clenching her lips that were about to open wide.

Tamon, who was sipping like a baby, finally lifted her up, unable to hold back.

 

Tamon, who lifted her so lightly, laid her down on the bed in a couple of steps.

The scent of flowers drifted from her loose hair.

He bit Asha’s lower lip slightly, and whispered as if begging.

 

 “… Why don’t you open it up a bit?”

“I was tricked by those words yesterday.”

“We are supposed to kiss every day.”

But it never ended with just a kiss….

When he asked with squinted eyes, Tamon smiled lewdly and kissed Asha’s chin and neck.

 

“If you tame a lewd beast, you have to take responsibility. In this lonely foreign country, the only one place I can lean on is the arms of my master.”

Did he put perfume on his tongue? 

 

He always spoke really well.

 

Even though she thought she shouldn’t fall for it, when she listened to him, she understood, and on the other hand, she thought that there was no reason not to fall for it…

 

In that way, she secretly fell for Tamon’s temptation to claim to be a beast every time.

 

“Who the hell is lonely?”

 

Asha, who was smiling as she frowned, grabbed his cheeks with her hands and muttered as she kissed him.

 

“I have to go to see Hartz tomorrow.”

 

“Well, I know.”

“…… Before the hunt begins, let’s rescue him.”

“If you let me, I’ll do my duty.”

Asha whispered as she received little kisses on her chin and cheeks.

 

“Thank you.”

 

Tamon, who smiled together with his nose pressed against her nose, licked her lips once more as if there was no need for such words.

 

Asha opened her lips to greet him.

“Perso Gertium!”

Gillotti jumped out of his seat and shouted loudly as soon as he saw Perso, who opened the door of the parlor in the annex.

“Are you deceiving the imperial family?”

 

Trembling with his whole body, Gillotti began to throw objects around him as if supported by evil.

 

He was furious at the behavior of Gerritium, who suddenly came to the capital after no response.

 

When he arrived in Bern, he should have stopped by the imperial family first and apologized by banging his head on the floor.

 

But this arrogant Gertium made the emperor wait for more than half a day even after arriving in Bern!

 

This was Gertium’s challenge to the imperial family, and it was a dog’s rebellion.

 

Gillotti could not release his anger even after throwing things, so he ran to Gertium, who was a few steps away, and slapped him on the face with all his might.

Slap!

 

There was a harsh sound of flesh collided, but in comparison to that, Perso’s head was only slightly shaken.

 

It was as if he was mocking and deceiving Gillotti’s power, so Gillotti was furious again.

 

The dog, which had been well tamed by the imperial family for several generations, listened well when called.

If the dog didn’t listen, it had to be punished.

 

Beat to death and to inflict pain to death.

 

“How dare you deceive me? What a dirty and vulgar half blood to pay back the family’s favor in this way!”

Gillotti clenched his teeth and scolded Perso, raising his hand to slap him (Perso) on the face once more.

 

But there was something Gillotti overlooked.

 

This Gertium was not a dog that was raised and tamed inside the fence, but a wild dog that was born and bred outside the fence.

The wild dog had no owner.

 

Therefore, he was free to bite the opponent who attacked him.

 

puck!

 

Gillotti’s hand, which was raised in the air, was blocked by Perso’s hand.

 

Gillotti involuntarily shut his mouth at the action of Perso who dared to snatch the emperor’s wrist.

 

“I think Your Majesty doesn’t need Gertium now.”

 

“No, what…!”

 

“Are you sure you want to throw away the Gertium?”

 

“….”

 

Gillotti was speechless and bit his empty lips.

 

Apparently, the gigantic Gertium looked like a bear, so he was looking down at the emperor calmly.

 

“Just once, I will ask you, Your Majesty.”

 

Gillotti seemed to be crushed by Perso’s momentum.

“…… Are you sure you want to throw away Gertium?”

 

The breath and intimidation Perso exuded pressed down on Gillotti’s neck.

If Gillotti said he would throw him (Perso) away, it seemed like Perso would bite his (Gillotti’s) neck and run out the fence.

Gillotti instinctively knew that this was the last loyalty of Perso Gertium.

 

Dirty wild dog!

 

How dare you try to test me and deceive me! Gillotti couldn’t contain his anger.

 

He even felt a sense of crisis that he would become a foolish owner who was bitten to death by his dog. He didn’t want to accept it.

 

If a dog reveals it, it must be killed.

 

“Shut up, guard! Guard!”

 

As soon as Gillotti’s echoing voice ended, the parlor door opened and about a dozen soldiers came in.

“Capture Duke of Gertium right now…!”

Gillotti wanted him to be thrown to jail.

 

But when he looked into the eyes of Perso who didn’t move an inch, he had a feeling that wouldn’t be a good way.

 

‘With this ability, this person’s life….!’

 

He wanted to crush Perso with the power of death right away.

No matter how much Perso was a guardian’s sword, he was just a human being in the face of God’s power!

Gillotti thought he (Gillotti, himself) was a descendant of god who had inherited divine powers.

 

The most powerful ability, a descendant of god who inherited the power of death! (*Gillotti has the power of death)

 

So it was right to kill traitors and establish his authority. That was Gillotti’s way up until now.

 

But….

‘If I use this power again, I’m sure my body will collapse. Furthermore… … … . I still need Gertium.’

 

The remaining reason stopped him.

Perso Gertium was a spear and a shield.

 

He was a shield when placed next to him, and a spear when thrown, a weapon that could pierce the enemy’s heart.

 

Even if he sent Perso to prison, he could not take over Gertium’s forces at once. It would take some time.

 

Gillotti grinded his teeth inwardly, but no longer expressed his anger.

 

“What are you talking about? The imperial family does not recklessly abandon their most cherished loyalist, Gertium.”

 

Gillotti grinned and grinned.

 

“The emperor must be cold-hearted and generous. Duke of Gertium, I will forgive you once if you repent and reflect on your wrongdoing.”

 

Gillotti whispered in a very gentle voice as he circled around Perso.

 

“As long as you get down on your knees, I’ll make the disloyalty you just had go away.”
