64.

 

Chapter 18. Engagement Ceremony!

 

“Your Highness. I’m in a position where I receive a budget from Your Highness, so what would you take from me?”

 

A kind of superior wants to extort from me?

 

…I have no money! I need to save all that money for when I flee into exile later!

 

“What I want to receive from you is control.”

 

“Do it now.”

 

“Not the hand today.”

 

The Villain brilliantly stopped Lillian who was about to grab his hand.

 

“Touch somewhere else today.”

 

“Somewhere else, you say?”

 

“Anywhere but the hand.”

 

Lillian looked the other person up and down with an expressionless face.

 

Feet? That’s strange.

 

Neck? I can only think of strangling.

 

…Then where exactly does he want me to touch?

 

The room fell quiet.

 

As if displeased with Lillian’s lack of creativity, the Villain pointed to his own cheek.

 

“Isn’t this skin too?”

 

He instantly made a person temporarily into trash.

 

Lillian turned her head pretending not to know.

 

“When there are hands, why specifically the cheek?”

 

“You did it once before.”

 

“Ah. In Aetherna.”

 

“So do it again this time.”

 

“What if I slap your cheek?”

 

“The control power would be quite spicy.”

 

I tried to threaten him, but the Villain was unfazed.

 

Rather, he now sat up properly in his chair and urged me on.

 

“Come on, quickly. Here, the right cheek.”

 

“Hah….”

 

“I had a really hard time holding back my temper and being patient with Sondaejung. Please control me quickly, Lillian.”

 

“Really now. What kind of patience is neutralizing poison.”

 

“Lillian, swallow your inner thoughts.”

 

Damn, I was so dumbfounded that my inner thoughts slipped out.

 

Lillian forcibly emptied her mind and reached out her hand.

 

Evren closed his eyes.

 

A strange thirst surged throughout his body.

 

From the moment Lillian’s hand touched his cheek, a languid tingling sensation spread through his entire body.

 

Even more so when the soft, round part of her palm brushed against him.

 

‘If it had been just a little closer to the corner of my mouth, I would have bitten it.’

 

He also wanted to trace those thin palm lines with the tip of his tongue.

 

Since she was touching his cheek anyway, he wanted to pull her waist and have her sit on his lap to touch him more closely….

 

He also wanted to touch those lips that had been bothering him since last time.

 

Especially since they were such a beautiful color today.

 

‘But if I do that already, the fun will disappear quickly.’

 

Evren had never known the value of such things since birth.

 

All these moments right now were an interest that had come after a very long time.

 

So he wanted to cherish everything about Lillian and get to know her very slowly.

 

‘So for ‘this matter,’ I should start with just touching the cheek once.’

 

Just then, Lillian tried to quietly remove her hand from his cheek.

 

Evren quickly wrapped around that hand and languidly wheedled.

 

“Lillian, just a little more.”

 

“Did you really exert that much strength back then? I don’t think so-.”

 

“I said I had a hard time because of Sondaejung.”

 

Evren glanced at Lillian.

 

How could there be such a heartless Controller who would only touch for 5 seconds and then leave?

 

He knew why Lillian was only dealing with him now.

 

Since she had proven her usefulness, she was busy planning the next step.

 

Exactly according to the contract.

 

It was somewhat incomprehensibly annoying.

 

However, since his mood had improved, it was time to bring up the topic.

 

“There were quite a lot of invitations that came this time.”

 

“…! Yes, that’s right.”

 

Lillian’s eyes lit up.

 

“I’ll go to the places you choose.”

 

“What? Really?”

 

“Yeah.”

 

“Even if I choose everything, you won’t complain? You won’t get annoyed, and you’ll endure being patient?”

 

“Yeah.”

 

Evren answered with his eyes closed.

 

“I’ll go wherever you want to go.”

 

That way there will be many opportunities to ask you to stroke my cheek….

 

‘I feel good.’

 

The reward was very much to his liking.

 

Right now, his life satisfaction was at its highest point ever.

 

If it’s like this, couldn’t we renew for about 100 years instead of 40 years?

 

Then Lillian whispered quietly.

 

“Then Your Highness. Instead of going to each place tediously.”

 

“Hmm?”

 

“How about we make others want to be invited by us?”

 

* * *

 

In the Capital, as much as Lillian’s awakening, the ruined hospitality for Tillard’s distinguished guests became a hot topic.

 

Tillard’s failure was essentially Pavil’s failure.

 

Therefore, the Empress’s Palace was shrouded in silence.

 

The Empress wasn’t even angry. She just smiled while holding a black fan.

 

That was the most serious situation.

 

“How did this happen? Duke Tillard.”

 

However, even Elric Tillard, who was older than the Empress, couldn’t look her straight in the eye.

 

“The Count’s granddaughter suddenly manifested as a Controller. How truly joyous.”

 

“Empress Your Majesty….”

 

“But why didn’t this news reach my ears? Wasn’t it the Count who said he would go meet her last time?”

 

“The family didn’t know about this! Empress. This is something that wench hid even from us-.”

 

“Ha! A Controller capable of suppressing Tarandia’s madness appeared, and how can you say you didn’t know!”

 

Crack. A fine crack appeared in the handle of the black fan.

 

It was because Empress Robellia couldn’t contain her anger and used the Pavil Family’s ability.

 

‘The jealous Pavil’.

 

It was a clan with the desire for supremacy engraved in their blood.

 

However, the power given to them was deadly poison.

 

In front of the Tarandia bloodline that could annihilate anything, wouldn’t their light inevitably pale?

 

And Prince Kail had inherited the abilities of the Pavil Family.

 

That was still fine.

 

The stable Second Prince was much better emperor material than a madman who even harmed Controllers.

 

Because they could reassure people that way.

 

If only Lillian Tillard hadn’t stayed by his side, showing such remarkable control!

 

“If it’s a Controller with matching compatibility, the marriage cannot be stopped!”

 

“….”

 

“Does it make sense to cover it up by expelling her without proper confirmation?”

 

The Count closed his mouth.

 

He had no choice but to acknowledge it.

 

He had made a mistake in his haste to get rid of her quickly.

 

Who could have imagined that his granddaughter, who had been powerless her whole life, would manifest like that!

 

However.

 

“…Lillian, that girl is weak when it comes to family.”

 

The Count was confident.

 

‘Grandfather, I brought you the flowers that bloomed today…. So you can have a good day today….’

 

People don’t change easily.

 

She had always been a girl who only sought the recognition of the Count and the family.

 

“Since the Tillard Family made a wrong judgment, if we order her to return, she’ll listen.”

 

“Will that bastard even let her go?”

 

That bastard who goes around saying he likes her and will make her his princess consort?

 

The Count persuaded earnestly.

 

“If they had imprinted, it would be completely impossible to separate them, but if not, there are ways.”

 

“Hah….”

 

The Empress no longer trusted the Count.

 

Couldn’t a person who failed once fail twice?

 

He couldn’t even assess his own granddaughter’s abilities.

 

‘With that level of ability, her grade must be considerable.’

 

Since it’s Tillard bloodline, it would naturally be so.

 

‘Could we forcibly bring her back?’

 

But the Empress’s worries became meaningless with Lillian’s letter that arrived at the Imperial Palace.

 

It was a letter inviting them to a belated engagement party.
