The Eternal Debauchery's

reassuring Lilia

After talking to Dina and Daisy for a while and discussing the current situation, I left the room.

It was late at night, but I still had another place I needed to visit tonight.

So, I disguised myself as Clark and teleported to another part of town. Nice and hidden house located in the noble district.

It was not until a minute after I arrived that a woman appeared in front of me and bowed with a respectful expression.

"Boss, you're here."

“Marana. How's the situation?”

“Nothing extraordinary happened. Almost everything is as you would expect. But…"

"What?"

“Our people noticed some strange people entering the capital lately. They don't seem like normal people, so I'm afraid they're here with ulterior motives.”

I was lost in thought for a moment before expanding my senses throughout the city.

A few seconds later, I understood what Marana meant.

Of course, there were many strange people in the capital at the moment.

There are several times more power plants than usual. So many power plants are worrying.

And I'm sure most of them weren't there for Dina's wedding.

“It looks like they have already started the preparations..” I muttered to myself.

They might take advantage of the emperor's announcement of the tournament to infiltrate the city. After all, having a powerhouse come to witness or participate in this kind of tournament was normal, and even if one paid attention to the unusual number of powerhouses, it was normal, he wouldn't be suspicious unless he was very sharp.

Plus, most of these people were scattered all over the capital and they seemed to be out of touch, so it was hard to realize that they were part of the same group.

But when the chaos in the capital began, these people would act as a hidden poison that would bring the empire to its knees quickly.

However, I don't have time to worry about them right now.

“Observate them and let me know if you see anything wrong,” I said to Marana before walking to the counter a few meters away. “You should go to your position. The empress will be arriving soon.”

Marana nodded and gave some orders. Immediately, several members of the Red Skull Gang appeared inside the house and began to act as if this place was a bar.

Yes, I am currently at a place where I usually meet with the empress. I have an appointment with him tonight.

Not until five minutes after I arrived, someone knocked on the door.I sat at the counter smiling, picking up the cup of alcohol Marana had served earlier, Marana said, and nodded at him to show that he had to go to open the door.

A few seconds later, I felt someone sitting next to me.

“You are here,” I said with a smile as I swung the alcohol cup in my hand.

“How can I miss our meeting? I can only see you once every week, so I really appreciate this opportunity.”

I smiled and sipped a drink in my hand. Only then did I see the woman beside me.

She was a beautiful woman with long wavy blonde hair and beautiful green eyes. His body exuded a powerful aura that was only found in people of authority, and a pleasant fragrant aroma came from his skin.

She was currently using a disguise, so her usual pretty features were a bit boring, but even so, I was able to recognize her easily.

This imperial consort and my father's wife, Lilia Riea.

When she saw my smile, Lilia smiled seductively and leaned towards me.

"Should we look for a more private place to chat?" said it.

I sipped the last alcohol and laughed.

"As far as you are, beautiful lady."

Standing from my seat, I grabbed Lilia's hand and pulled her to the second floor.

We then went to the room we always used and went into it.

As soon as we entered the room, Lilia turned off the artifact she used to disguise, revealing her stunning face. He then rushed towards me and hugged my body as his lips searched for my lips intensely.

I returned the kiss just as intensely, pushed his body against the wall and made him gasp.

However, before our lust got out of control, I removed my lips from it.

"We need to talk about something first."

Lilia looked at me with teary eyes, but when she realized my serious gaze, she nodded.

"What's that?"

"i plan to participate in the tournament."

Instantly, Lilia froze.

Quickly, his gaze turned cold and a hint of killing intent started to come out from him.

"Whatchu mean? Are you planning to marry the princess ***** that is?”

In my heart I was not happy when she called my sister like that. But outside, I smiled gently and stroked the empress' hair.

"Silent. It's not what you think.”

"no? Hah... Thinking that the woman****** was once stealing my husband from me. Now her daughter also wants to steal you from me!?”

I could feel Lilia's killing intent and hatred from her words. It was obvious how much he hated my mother and us.

It was a hatred born from his sense of superiority and desire to be above others.

“Now that I think about it, you agreed rather quickly when I asked about the tournament. Was that your intention from the start?” Lilia asked with a sharp expression.

Seeing the vigilance and disbelief in his eyes, I could not help but laugh.

"You're right. I've been thinking about it ever since.”

"you…"

“You can't blame me for that, can you? Any man would want such a beautiful princess as a trophy. Plus, it's not bad for you.”

"Huh?"

“Well, Princess Dina's mother stole the emperor from you, right? Then don't you think it would be nice to do the same to her daughter? Princess Dina will marry me, not knowing that I slept with the enemy she hated the most and we planned her downfall together. Especially after I married Dina, we will have more opportunities to meet without arousing suspicion of others.”.

The Empress was surprised by my words.

He was silent for a few seconds, before looking at the ground hesitantly.

“... I'm not sure about that.”

"Think about it. It's not a bad idea. Plus, do you really think I'll forget about you after I have it? Do you have so little confidence in yourself?”

Lilia furrowed her brows as if thinking of something.

He could see I was determined to do this, and rightly so. My identity as Clark is the best to participate in the tournament.

Got the support of the empress (although my relationship with her is not open), so I won't have any opposition once I win the tournament. With the empress speaking for me, the emperor will definitely accept it even if my background is a bit unclear.

I can make another identity in haste, but the emperor or empress might be able to see through it. Of course, it would be different if I used Ysnay's abilities, but I don't want to owe him any more.

Sensing my determination, the empress' expression turned bitter.

“... Do you really want to have it?”

"i'm ready." I nodded firmly. “I hope you can help me with that tomorrow. Think of it as a favor for your lover.”

The empress looked at me with a look of hesitation and loss, unable to decide what to do.

But finally, he nodded.

"… okay."

Wow, it's easier than I thought.

I think I should persuade him more.

It looks like she's in love with me more than I thought.

I kissed the empress' lips and smiled gently to reassure her that everything would be fine. But after that kiss, the empress pushed me away.

“I need to think about it a little.. Sorry, not tonight..”.

I was disappointed in my heart. But I didn't show it on my face.

After all, his reaction was quite normal.

“Then, let's talk about the situation of your son,” I said to switch the topic. "I'll tell you about what I've been investigating for the past week."

The empress nodded and sat on the bed, keeping a certain distance from me.

Too bad. Looks like I have to visit someone else tonight.
