Chapter 16




Chapter 16
“…If you don’t go crazy, you won’t be able to survive here.”
“You pathetic bastard.”
Gregory muttered as he hit Lexion hard on the head.
He’s seen a lot of guys go insane because of women, but he didn’t think that one of those guys would be Lexion.
Gregory let out a maid, trembling in the corner.
First of all, it was necessary to persuade her, who knew about everything, and watch her words.
“You didn’t come to the Imperial Palace today.”
“…”
“I was the one who beat him and let’s assume that you went to the demon’s den at my request. That Knox is enough for evidence.”
“Gregory.”
Lexion calmly called out Gregory, who spitted his plan like a rapid-fire gun.
Gregory responded with a pat on the shoulder as if not to worry.
“Even if this bastard wakes up anyway, Tiarozetti is already in your castle, so there won’t be anything to say.”
“…”
“If he doesn’t have any hostages, this guy can’t threaten you. He wouldn’t be able to confess that he kidnapped and imprisoned an innocent person with his own mouth”
“You don’t have to do this. I just…”
Lexion shook his head and grabbed Gregory’s arm.
Gregory was worried about his docile friend who puts him first amid the serious situation.
So he smiled more slyly.
Originally, Lexion’s role was the one Gregory was playing now.
Lexion didn’t fit into that new role of his.
“Don’t force yourself. This is the cleanest way to end it. After all, a nobody who’s an eyesore to the Emperor, adding one more ugly mistake, doesn’t change anything.”
“…”
“Instead, pay off your debts later… Don’t hesitate and just go quickly.”
“…Thank you.”
Lexion gave a quiet answer and walked away.
Only after Lexion was out of sight, Gregory began to loosen his clothes.
Then he suddenly slapped himself on the cheek, and then immediately punched Kronos in the face with his fist.
“Hyaaaa!”
The maid screamed when the brawl that was thought to be over started again.
Gregory then spoke to her.
“You, there.”
“Ye-yes!”
As the trembling maid answered Gregory, he swept up his flowing bangs and gave her an eerie smile.
“I would like it if there’s no talk about today.”
“I- I won’t tell a soul!”
The maid replied immediately.
Her face was tinted with red.
Gregory saw it and smirked.
A maid who blushes in front of an illegitimate child that is infamous for being a playboy.
The solution was quite clear.
From her looks, she looked like a low-ranking aristocratic young girl trying to raise her status by forming ties with a powerful family.
Gregory approached the maid.
She leaned against the wall and stared blankly at him.
When he looked closer, he saw a face he had already met several times when he was going in and out of Kronos’ palace.
Gregory recollected the dirty gossip she had shared with the other maids.
She tried to catch Kronos’ attention with her pitiful stories.
He chuckled casually and saw her gulping.
Gregory stepped forward.
The maid couldn’t keep eye contact and lowered her eyes.
Then he raised the maid’s chin and asked in an insidious voice.
“What is your name?”
“I- It’s Illensia Mamre.”
If it was the Mamre family, it was a nouveau riche family.
A while ago, he heard a rumor that a merchant became rich by discovering a gold mine and bought the title of Viscount from his own master.
Perhaps she came into the Imperial Palace looking for a man from a powerful family who would make her family stand out.
Most of the people who work in the Imperial Palace were nobles, so it will be quite helpful to build connections.
The Mamre household wasn’t quite powerful yet, but it was a place with strong financial resources.
It was undoubtedly a family that would always be helpful if they made connections
Gregory whispered with a soft smile unlike before.
“Illensia, I was looking for you.”
“M-me?”
Illensia looked up at Gregory startled by his words, but she bowed her head in surprise after meeting his eyes.
Looking at the woman with blushing ears, it seemed like things were going to be easy.
Illensia looked up at Gregory with trembling eyes.
Then, as Gregory’s face drew closer, she closed her eyes tightly.
Knowing what she was expecting, Gregory moved his lips to his ear and whispered.
“Usually, my principle is not to touch family servants, but I’ll give you special care. What do you think?”
“—That means…”
“That’s right. As long as you don’t talk about what you’ve seen now, I’ll have a hot night to your satisfaction today.”
“You see me easily.”
Illensia struggled to react primly.
But she didn’t seem to know that her thoughts already passed through her facial expression.
Gregory spoke, kissing Illensia’s hair lightly.
“I don’t know. Those who spend the night with me will never forget me. Maybe it’s because I always do my best.”
“Ehem.”
Seeing Gregory’s smile, Illensia coughed and fanned her face.
Gregory pushed her against the wall and whispered.
“Illensia, if possible, I will tailor it to your taste. Do you like the one who approaches first, or do you do it yourself?”
Gregory said, pointing to him and Illensa alternately.
Moments later, Illensia raised her finger and pointed at Gregory.
It was an unspoken consent.
Gregory said with a sly smile.
“Alright.”
Moments later, Gregory’s lips swallowed hers.
<b>
I reached out to give strength to my plea.
At that moment, he grabbed my hand and shouted.
