I Took the Tyrant’s Virginity

Theo muttered. It was a soft voice that seemed to make fun of her on purpose. Judith paused for a moment, but that was all. Her little hands putting on her clothes were still busy. Looking at Judith’s back, Theo got up from the bed.

Judith, startled by him, looked at him, but he went to the table and put on the robe lying on it.

“Where is the woman who threw me to bed and took her clothes off last night?”

There was a lot of ridicule in his voice. Judith chewed the inside of her mouth. She blamed herself, but it had already spilled water. She tied her clothes one last time and bowed her head to Theo.

“I have committed a sin against Your Majesty that I cannot even dare to speak up…… If you give me heavenly generosity and spare me, I will go out to the outskirts and never be seen by Your Majesty again, so please……”

“……are you going to leave me?”

Theo’s voice cutting off hers was colder than before. Theo’s dark blue eyes, who had been looking at Judith warmly a while ago, also became cold.

“Does this mean you dare to take the emperor’s virginity and just leave? Isn’t this treason?”

No, a man and a woman agreed to leave after having a good night. What treason do you mean?!

Judith’s vision blurred. The man in front of her was rumored to be a tyrant. But treason?! Are you kidding me? The faces of her beloved father and brothers passed by.

Still, the emperor only knows her first name without knowing her surname. So her father and brothers would not be called traitors. It was fortunate among misfortunes.

“Judith.”

Judith, who was in a panic, came to her senses only when she heard Theo’s voice. He, with a cold-hardened face, came in front of her. Now the punishment will fall from that mouth. Whether she’s hanging or beheaded……

Judith closed her eyes tightly.

‘Dad, brothers. This sinful girl goes first. I love you all so much.’

She could feel Theo’s breath in front of her. Judith waited patiently for the punishment. Then a soft voice rang in her ear.

“If you pull me to bed, you will have to take responsibility.”

When she opened her eyes, she saw him smiling.

Wait, he’s smiling?

His eyes seemed to insist on an answer. Judith blinked. She seemed obliged to answer.

“I will take responsibility, Your Majesty.”

Then a knock was heard. Theo looked at the door with cold eyes.

“Your Majesty, I brought the meal.”

krrr.

Just then, a sound came from Judith’s stomach. Judith grabbed her stomach in surprise, but she couldn’t stop the sound. Theo, who was staring at Judith’s blushing face, ordered the servant to come into the room.

“Come in.”

The servant who brought the meal put it down on the table and went out. Lastly, he did not forget to bow his head to Theo.

On the table were a mushroom soup, charred bacon, freshly baked bread, scrambled eggs, lightly blanched basil, and cherry tomatoes. The hunger she had forgotten about because of the desperate situation came rushing in. Judith swallowed saliva without herself realizing it.

“Come here, Judith.”

Theo led Judith to the chair. At that moment, in Judith’s eyes, Theo looked like the sweetest and kindest person in the world, rather than the tyrant talking about treason a while ago.

‘No, I can’t be swayed by food.’

Her opponent is a tyrant. Judith shook her head. However, it was difficult for her to turn away from the delicious food in front of her eyes.

Judith changed her mind. ‘Should I just eat…..?’

Glancing at Theo’s eyes, she took her seat. Her whole body throbbed with every move, but she forgot it when dealing with the delicious food.

“Eat a lot.”

“I will enjoy this food.”

After Theo’s words, Judith took a scrambled egg and a leaf of basil and put them in her mouth.

‘Delicious!’

The soft scrambled egg melted in the mouth and the basil captured the taste that might be greasy. The aftertaste was perfect.

“Tasty?”

“Yes.”

This time Judith tore the bread and put it in her mouth. Theo, who looked at her with satisfaction, asked, “Then, when is a good time for our wedding?”

“Cough!”

She was choked by the bread she was eating. Theo patted Judith on the back and quickly handed her some milk.

“Are you okay?”

Fortunately, the bread passed over when she drank the milk.

‘Marriage, what a crazy thing to say…..?’ Judith thought, wiping the tears from her eyes.

She was stunned. Theo’s expression hardened when he saw the tears forming in the corners of Judith’s eyes.

“Anyone outside?”

The servant who was waiting outside came straight into the room.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Who set the breakfast menu?”

“It was the head chef…..”

“Giving bread to a person who drank too much the day before. So it’s the head chef…… Put him in jail right now.”

As she ate again, Judith looked at Theo with her eyes wide open. She was so stunned that she almost swallowed the basil in her mouth without chewing.

‘No, it’s not the head chef’s fault, it’s because you suddenly said something strange……’

But she couldn’t afford to say that. And she couldn’t let an innocent head chef go to jail. Judith quickly found a good excuse.

“Y-Your Majesty. That’s because I swallowed it wrongly……”

“It’s not your fault, Judith, you have a sore throat. It’s the fault of the loaf of bread and the person who made it.”

‘You must be joking…..?’

But looking at his expression….., he’s not.

‘I can’t believe there is anyone else like my father and brothers.’

Judith was somehow familiar with Theo’s absurd logic, just like her father and brothers who were probably waiting anxiously for her at home.

<How can there be a tree stump on the path that Judith passed and hurt her? Bring the gardener right now!>

One day when Judith was just starting to walk while playing in the garden. Judith tripped over a tree stump and was seriously injured. That day, the Duke of Peregrine and his two sons were furious with the gardener.

<Daddy, hug me~>

In order to appease her father and older brothers, Judith showed her cuteness.

As usual for children her age, Judith didn’t like being held by anyone once she started walking. Judith, who had memories of her previous life, eagerly awaited the day she could walk, even more so. Her father and brothers were happy that Judith could walk, but they were very sad that she no longer wanted to hug them.

However, when Judith injured her leg and was unable to walk, she was carried by her father and brothers. It took only three days, as Judith’s condition improved rapidly, the three of them had their feelings for the gardener undone.

That was how Judith saved the gardener. Of course, he was only one of many who survived because of her.

This was time for her to go again.

“But I think I will be sad if the head chef gets jailed. This bread is really delicious.”

Judith lowered the corners of her lips with a very sad and regretful expression. Then, Theo’s expression softened a little.

“……ask the chef to be more careful with the menu in the future, and give him a reward.”

“……yes, Your Majesty.”

The servant responded with a bewildered expression, one beat late.

Theo was staring at Judith. Then, when he made eye contact with her, he smiled brightly.

‘I did a good job, right?’ The curved eyes seemed to ask so. Her heart sank at that sight.

‘It is against the law to smile like that with such a face after almost ruining the life of an innocent person……’

Meanwhile, the servant left the room. Judith made up her mind and started eating again. Theo, who was watching Judith chewing roasted cherry tomatoes and bacon in her mouth, asked again, “Then shall we finish what we were talking about? About our marriage.”

“Marriage……?”
