I'm a villain, not a devil

"The time is almost up, why hasn't His Majesty come out yet?"

"I don't know. The time was set by her personally after His Majesty reviewed it..."

Inside the palace, high-ranking officials and nobles who had already gathered were whispering. The time for the coronation was only a dozen minutes away, but there was still no news from His Majesty.

Mr. Dylan Morik, the new speaker who replaced von Braun, was frowning in thought when someone gently touched his shoulder.

Turning around, I saw that it was Mr. Lan Youshan, the most powerful of the three speakers.

Morik was very clear about his position. No matter what, he was not qualified to be elected as the Speaker of the Senate. His good luck now was all thanks to Shadow, the most trusted leader of the Royal Guards of Her Majesty the Queen. He was somewhat related to Shadow, so he got a great bargain this time.

So, when he saw Lan Youshan, who held real power, he immediately bowed and said politely, "Mr. Speaker, what can I do for you?"

Lan Youshan knew the other party's background. He understood that Her Majesty the Queen had merely found an easy-to-control shell to take the throne. On the one hand, it was a demonstration of her trust in Lord Shadow, and on the other hand, it was a reward for his own power, as he had fully supported her ascension to the throne.

Lan Youshan did not put on airs and said politely, "Lord Morik, you know Lord Shadow. Can you contact him?"

Morik looked troubled. “Lord Shadow is so elusive. I…”

Lan Youshan glanced outside and said, "The time for the coronation is approaching. The people in the city are all waiting outside. If His Majesty doesn't show up, the scene won't be that good... Lord Shadow was His Majesty's guard before. You know Lord Shadow, can you let him go and take a look?"

Morik looked embarrassed. He did have a way to contact Shadow, but the Queen didn't say anything. How could he, a hollow speaker who got a bargain, dare to say anything? But Lan Youshan was right. After all, it was the day of his coronation...

As he was hesitating, suddenly, the surrounding shadows fluctuated.

Morik only heard a voice drill into his mind, and his expression suddenly tightened.

Pulling Lan Youshan aside, he whispered, "Master Shadow told me that His Majesty seems to be in some trouble..."

Lan Youshan frowned immediately: "Trouble? How could this happen... Obviously everything should have been resolved..."

"I don't know either... Lord Shadow said that His Majesty might delay for a while, but it won't be a big problem. Let's act according to circumstances."

"Delay for a while..."

After thinking for a moment, Lan Youshan stood in the middle of the hall. His originally sad face was replaced by an excited and proud expression.

"Everyone, everyone, listen to me--"

The high-ranking officials and nobles who were originally whispering turned their heads and saw Lan Youshan's jubilant expression. They immediately exchanged surprised glances with the people around them.

"Your Majesty is about to ascend the throne, and you have received the blessings of the heroic spirits of previous emperors! This is your majesty's glory, and it is also a great fortune for our empire!"

Everyone suddenly realized that it was no wonder that His Majesty had not come out yet, it turned out that he was being blessed by the heroic spirits!

No wonder, no wonder the spirit of the late emperor appeared a few days ago! As expected, His Majesty Bai Ye is the beacon of our empire!

Everyone knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and you are surrounded by glory. May your rule be as bright as the stars and lead the empire to an even more glorious future."

After Lan Youshan finished shouting, he said loudly: "Tell all the residents in the city that the coronation ceremony begins now. When the ceremony reaches its climax, it will be the time for your majesty to reign over the empire!"

"Your Majesty—"

……

"You, you bastard... the time for you to ascend the throne... has already passed..."

In the charming room, Bai Ye was still wearing the luxurious and elegant queen's dress, but now she didn't have any of the majesty of a queen at all.

The gorgeous belt inlaid with colorful gems and diamonds could not stay in its place after all. It was thrown carelessly and stuck to the foot of the bed. The deep and expensive sapphire was just casually sticking to the ground. From time to time, it shook along with the violent shaking of the bed, making some sporadic collision sounds.

However, compared to other sounds, this little noise will not be noticed by anyone.

The long skirt, which was woven with layers of the finest and most expensive silk fabric, moved to a new position, and Bai Ye's face was half covered by the slightly lifted hem of the skirt, and only her face, with a slightly red forehead, could be seen.

Her Majesty the Queen's breathing was very heavy, and her eyes, which should have been majestic, were a little absent-minded, and a look of annoyance flashed across them from time to time.

"I told you so long ago..." Bai Ye suppressed his inner restlessness and yelled at Sean.

However, her "roar" now seems more like a fight and a little romance between lovers.

"What?" Sean asked.

Bai Ye took several deep breaths before saying, "I'll let you finish quickly!"

"Hmm?" Sean immediately punished Her Majesty the Queen for her hypocrisy.

Bai Ye's exposed white and tender pink soles tensed up all of a sudden: "Slow down..."

Sean laughed: "Do you want me to go slower or faster?"

Bai Ye's eyes were like stars stained with morning mist, and the misty water vapor made her look extremely charming.

Her swan neck suddenly straightened up, and she hugged Sean breathlessly, complaining, "Asshole! Huh..."

Sean blinked and said, "It should have been over last time, but you held on tight and wouldn't let me run away."

"Who was holding you tightly? I clearly let go!" Bai Ye said unconvinced.

But Sean just gave him a playful look, and Bai Ye understood what the other person was holding on to.

A large blush appeared on her face, and she muttered guiltily: "Can't we wait until the coronation is over? I, I can't wear this..."

After pecking her forehead lightly, Sean's voice became gentle and magnetic: "I had prepared many, many words specifically to deceive a beautiful and smart woman like you, but when I saw you, my mind was empty. Bai Ye, you know, it's not that you put on this dress that makes me happy, but seeing you standing here, I think you are even more charming."

He said it sincerely and generously, and although he was clearly a filthy bastard, he looked like a considerate gentleman at first glance.

Even though he knew that this guy didn't tell the truth and was just trying to please him, Bai Ye's voice still became much softer unconsciously: "Well, we can wait until the coronation is over... Now the time has passed, I don't know what people are saying outside..."

Sean blinked and said, "That's why we need to make a quick decision."

After saying that, Sean intensified his offensive once again.

"You haven't finished yet?" Bai Ye bit his lip.

Sean said nothing, just focused on attacking and robbing.

"Asshole...you did it on purpose..."

Finally, the Empress who was about to ascend the throne of the Empire found a way to solve the problem.

She put on the crown that symbolized power and honor, gave the man a coquettish roll of the eyes, and knelt lightly on the ground.

"Just this once," she said.
