The Female Lead Raised The Villain

Forgiveness (8)

She thought they should try more in the future. She even wanted to bring out Arthur’s inherent power.

‘What if everything they do is good?’

What are we worried about? If they like it, they can do it more and more often. Starting tomorrow, she vowed to work hard on political affairs and on bedroom affairs.

“If there’s anything you want to do, try everything.”

“I allowed it.”

Arthur’s eyes flashed like a beast. He leaned slowly and lightly licked his lips with his tongue.

It was the eyes of an animal shining in the darkness she hadn’t seen in a long time. Before hunting, he lowered himself like a beast and slowly tied her up.

Trapped in his solid arms, she turned around and hugged Arthur with an expression of hope that he would devour her.

Arthur pushed her as if he had endured something from the beginning to the end without giving her a chance to rest.

And really, she couldn’t get out of bed the next day.

Yesterday’s incident caused two major things to happen to the Imperial palace.

One was that Arthur would ascend to the position of Empress, and the other was that the humiliated princes returned to their home country in great anger.

Thanks to this, she was sitting face to face with Fredio, who is very angry now.

“Say your complaint. Don’t be in a hurry.”

She tapped the table and said. The former was initially set, so there was no problem. Fredio also wanted the Empress’s seat to be filled quickly.

“What did you do…….”

Fredio handed her a letter. There was a content full of anger that could not endure shame, and she could even estimate who sent it without seeing the sender.

“They told me first, so I just told them straight.”

“But I’ve said this all the time. If they cooperate and welcome the empire…….”

“Is there no problem if that’s solved?”

Fredio’s eyebrows were slightly heard after reading her relaxed expression.

She didn’t expect it from the beginning, but…….

“Do you think I acted without a way to respond?”

“Your Majesty. Of course, the Arpen Empire will not be shaken by the kingdom. If the story floats outside, the people will be very anxious.”

There was nothing wrong with what he said. She shook her head as if she agreed.

“So let them shut up on their own.”

“Have you read the last sentence?”

“Yeah, you can see it. A threat that doesn’t even seem to mean going to war.”

She stood up from her seat while looking at the letter. First of all, she thought of something to do first.

“Don’t worry. No one will be against Arpen.”

Fredio left only words he couldn’t understand and left the audience. She felt sorry when she remembered the prime minister’s image washing his face with a devastated look.

“Nox.”

Returning to the room, she summoned him. It could have bounced once, but Nox immediately appeared.

“Come on, sign it.”

As soon as he prepared for this again, he pushed the contract.

“A contract as soon as I see it…….”

“Didn’t you agree on the conditions verbally?”

“Good.”

She sat down and read the contract he gave her and went down. It was a contract that was not difficult. She looked satisfied with the neat content with only what she needed.

“You can’t defend yourself with the devil.”

“Hmm. Who is going to be in the honor of the country? I feel a little bad.”

“It’s natural that no one can be friendly to the country that the devil protects, right?”

This should not cause the Arpen Empire to lose money. Nox narrowed his forehead with her determined words.

“They will call you a god. Now that you’re coming down here only as a legend about divine beings, hide your identity.”

“Do you want me to follow the beat of humans?”

“It’s simple. As long as you don’t reveal yourself.”

As if one can hear voices from the sky. Just a little smoke is enough.

“I don’t think it’s that difficult. You don’t have to be bothered either.”

Nox rolled his eyes as if he was a little worried about what she said. To be honest, there was nothing to lose even if Nox thought about it himself.

“If you want.”

Nox nodded as if he were being generous.

The contract stated that the cycle of taking her soul and others were silent about the agreement.

“If I don’t call you, don’t show up except on a fixed day.”

“Don’t you think my daily life will be too boring?”

“I don’t think I have to pay attention to that.”

Even if he continued to show up, there were only more things to care about. Moreover, Arthur wouldn’t have liked it. Nox’s stay with her meant that something came and went with her.

“You don’t want Arthur to know?”

“Then you’re going to watch it secretly.”

“We need to add a clause. You seem to have a bad habit.”

In the end, she was exhausted thanks to quarreling and coordinating the contract. Nox and her, who eventually found a compromise with an exhausted look, dramatically signed the contract.

“This isn’t a bet.”

“I’m sorry about that.”

“Remember, you and I are equal contractors.”

Nox nodded as if he knew. Then, he suddenly reached out and put his hand toward her heart.

“Ugh.”

She was breathless and suffocated, and her eyes were dark.

“Oh, I forgot one thing.”

When he quickly pulled out his hand, she breathed again. She gasped as if she couldn’t breathe.

“It’s going to hurt this much.”

In his hand, there was a round light that overflowed with silver. The moment she saw it, she noticed it was part of her soul.

“It’s that easy to get out?”’

With an unknown feeling, she placed her hand near her heart. Was it because of the feeling that she wouldn’t be running?

Badump. Badump.

Fortunately, the heart was still beating hard.

“Taking a little soul won’t kill you.”

“… It comforts me, too.”

“Arthur is okay now, right?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll put the power on him while he’s sleeping.”

Nox swallowed her soul in his hand and warmed his mouth. She instinctively hugged herself with both hands.

“Don’t worry. I won’t touch you except for the set amount.”

“That’s a relief. I think I’ll need help sooner or later, so I’ll start as soon as possible.”

“What?”

“What do you mean? Pretending to be a rookie.”

She accepted the contract and shook his hand.

“I think something happened, can I help you?”

“……I don’t think you need to step out yet.”

“Something is urgent, so you’ll have to get the beat right away.”

Nox’s grim smile was uneasy, but she couldn’t afford to care about him. It was clear that the nobles who heard rumors about the upcoming imperial meeting would complain.

‘This will give me a headache.’

Knock, knock.

“Your Majesty, you have to attend the meeting.”

At the right moment, she got up from her seat and sighed at the mayor’s voice. As more people had to fight, she had to stay alert.
