The Evil Empress Adores Me

In theory, even people whose lives are at the edge or even those who cant continue because their souls are hurt inside

I actually was about to say it was a miracle.

It was a nonsensical transfer that the first Emperor, Carpel who made direct contact with Aurelia had done.

To directly interfere in a humans life places a huge strain on the caster who uses the power.

Besides, the Damian in the originalhadnt awakened the power of purification until the very end.

I narrowed my brow.

Damian was unable to exact vengeance and awakened the power of destruction.

That power made Damian the strongest being in the world. He eventually put the whole world beneath his feet

That ending was probably lonely.

So would it be better to awaken the power of purification?

I nodded my head satisfactorily.

.yeah, itll be a bit different from the original.

I always thought of changing the original since the beginning, most of all having Damian be recognized by the people.

People now paid no attention to the Emperor.

All their tribute was directed toward Damian.

To think this body of mine would get to experience the blessings of the divine beast from legends

As expected, the crown prince is the only rightful heir to the Imperial family!

He is the successor to Emperor Carpel, how does he feel about that?

Praise upon praise was showered onto Damian.

Damian without letting the praises go to his ego suddenly raised his head.

The Emperor was staring at Damian with a murderous look.

Damian in contrast smiled at the Emperor who looked like he was going to explode.

Under the protection of the divine beast, endless glory to the Sun and Moon of the empire.

Damian bowed his head before the Emperor and Empress, honoring them.

The Emperor gnashed his teeth.

On the other hand, the Empress responded politely to Damian.

It was like seeing the second coming of the divine beast. That was incredible, Damian.

AHH!

A great cheer erupted.

I watched Damian from behind, feeling overwhelmed with an indescribable joy.

As I did, Damian sneaked his way to me and we made eye contact.

He licked his lips slightly.

Whaddya think? Did I do well?

Seriously, this boy!

I stopped scrunching my brows and ended up laughing.

Later that evening.

The Empress with a melancholic expression on her face leaned closer to me.

Laying her head over my shoulder, she complained softly.

Lize, I dont want to go to the banquet.

Aww, but you have to go.

I smiled, trying to comfort the Empress as she pouted.

Wow, our Empress is pretty even when she pouts.

She may not like it and thats understandable.

The Empress has been quite busy today.

It was over for me and Damian but the Empress had to attend a banquet following the harvest festival.

You understand me, dont you Charlize? Its irritating having to dress up for hours!

The Empress moaned as she clenched her fists.

In her frustration, the pearl bracelet on her wrist jingled.

Even with all the effort I go through, the only people I meet are His Majesty, the Emperor, and the nobility!

Please, calm down. If you bite your lips, your makeup will be ruined.

How can you not be calm in this situation?

The Empress was now shaking her fists in the air.

Im tired of smiling!

Fortunately, I had an ace up my sleeve that would quell the Empresss exasperation.

I took a deep breath and blinked my eyelashes, putting on the cutest face I possibly could.

But Charlize likes that the Empress is beautifully dressed.

Ugh, Im already ten years old and Im calling myself in the third person

Isnt this so cheesy?!

I shrugged it off and continued anyway.

However, for the Empress, it was just perfect.

The Empress looked at me with sparkling eyes.

Really? You like seeing me pretty Charlize?

Yes! In fact, the Empress is the prettiest person in the world even when shes idle.

I said that earnestly.

Although it was a clumsy compliment, the Empress seemed to feel better.

Its better when good and good come together, isnt it?

When good things come togetherwhat are you talking about?

Wellits like putting ice cream on a browniewont it taste twice as good?

After hearing my crude parable, the Empresss face looked like she could burst into laughter at any time if I spoke again.

I was a bit miffed.

Well, its just how I talk.

The Empress placed her hand on my shoulder.

Charlizes parable was so convenient, I understood it as soon as you said it.
