The Queen of Villains

There is only one line of description of Emily in the original.

‘Mrs. Star, who was running away from the pursuit of the Juliano family, eventually died giving birth to Daniel after a difficult childbirth.’

“It’s an honor to be called an extra.”

Emily wrote the contents of the original in a notebook, clicking her tongue at the role that wasn’t even named.

The Juliano family are enemies of the Star family – the male lead’s family. They used all sorts of mean things to stop the growing power of the new Star family.

The most vicious of them was trying to kill Emily, who was pregnant, in order to shake Kylian’s mind.

Kylian, who lost his wife like that, was troubled by his own incompetence when he saw Daniel, the male lead. So he made the mistake of neglecting him and destroying himself.

Unfortunately, Daniel could not reconcile with Kylian until the end, and he managed to replace him as boss.

If it weren’t for the Juliano family, Emily wouldn’t have had difficult childbirth, and it was thought that Daniel might have had a happy childhood.

But for Emily who already knew the contents of the original, the fear of pregnancy and childbirth was at its peak to the point that she was afraid to sleep with Kylian.

“Let’s sleep alone first.”

That’s Emily’s conclusion. Although she can’t always do this since she’s married now, she should avoid sleeping with Kylian until she gets contraception or divorce.

Emily closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep, covering her head with a blanket. The ticking of the clock sounded louder than usual today.

“Damn, I can’t sleep.”

“I wonder why you try to sleep first without spending our first night.”

Startled by the sudden voice, she jumped out of bed.

“When did you come?”

“I just came in.”

Kylian looked rather sharp as he untied the cravat. Emily bit her knuckles as she looked at him.

Seeing Emily in a state of anxiety, Kylian chuckled lowly and sat down on the sofa across from the bed.

“It will help you get a good night’s sleep if I go out, but I have to protect your honor, so I’ll sleep here.”

It would be a disgrace to Emily, as Kylian said, for a husband and wife to use a different room without spending their first night together. Emily was surprised that Kylian even thought about that and looked at him.

“What’s with those eyes?”

“Are you really okay with sleeping there?”

“Don’t worry, it’s a top-notch sofa.”

Emily, who had only seen his character turn evil in the original, wondered what Kylian’s personality was like at first. Looking at his behavior so far, I don’t think his original personality is that good either, but at least he doesn’t look evil.

He even gave good consideration to her honor. Emily took great courage and opened her mouth. “May I ask you something?”

“What?”

“Well…… I wonder why you told me not to go to the reception earlier.”

“That’s……”

Kylian looked at Emily’s face with an unknown, strange look and replied. “Because you seemed afraid of the guests.”

“Oh.”

Emily, who didn’t know it would be obvious, was a little embarrassed.

But do you think that’s the only thing that’s obvious? Kylian noticed Emily’s reluctance to enter the wedding hall, how she frightened when she glanced at him, and how she pulled herself back when he was about to kiss her.

So he could also easily notice how reluctant she was to do this marriage.

“Thank you for your consideration.”

As Emily answered hesitantly, Kylian sighed and stood up from his seat.

“Then I have to change clothes—”

“Oh! I’m sorry. I’ll cover myself with a blanket!”

Emily, whose face was flushed red – who knows what she imagined – quickly fell onto the bed with the blanket over her. Kylian, who paused for a moment at her surprise, tried to speak in a calm tone.

“You don’t have to. I’m going to the bathroom anyway.”

She poked her face out of the blanket.

“Well then, I’ll be waiting quietly.”

“You may sleep first.”

“……okay, thank you.”

As Kylian entered the bathroom, Emily was completely out of the blanket.

She recalled what Kylian had told her a while ago that he had sent her to the room first considering her fear of the guests. Maybe he’s much friendlier than I thought.

‘Should I ask why he married me?’

While Emily was thinking about this and that, time passed and Kylian, who had finished taking a bath, appeared.

Although he was in pajamas neatly, the atmosphere in the room became strangely heated up.

Is it because of his wet hair?

Is it because the solid outline of the body under the silk pajamas can be clearly seen, or is it because of his body scent after taking a bath quickly?

Looking at his body as if she had been possessed, Emily hastily closed her eyes, pretending she never did.

Emily didn’t understand herself either.

“Are you still awake?”

“I was just about to sleep.”

“Then I’ll turn off the lights.”

“Yes.”

click. The lights went out, and the room fell silent again. The moonlight shining through the poorly closed curtains was bright enough to dazzle her eyes.

Emily couldn’t really fall asleep enough to hear the second hand moving loudly.

“Are you sleeping?” Breaking the silence, Emily asked.

“Why?”

Fortunately, Kylian didn’t seem to have slept either. She once again took courage.

“I have a question for you.”

“……what is it?”

“Why did you propose to me?”

Kylian’s eyebrows twitched at the sudden question. After a long silence, Emily asked again. “Is it hard to answer?”

At the end of Emily’s push, Kylian sighed.

“Aren’t you going to sleep?”

“If you can’t answer the question, I’ll try to guess it.”

Emily, deep in thought, muttered, “Hmm, is it because of my beauty?”

Kylian first wondered if she was joking. Of course, she is such an outstanding beauty that no one dares to laugh at her even if she says such words seriously.

But how can she say those words from her own mouth? He was a little confused.

Emily, embarrassed by Kylian who didn’t respond, coughed and continued. “Or what is it……”

No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think I have any outstanding advantages other than beauty as a young lady of a fallen Count.

I’m good at playing the piano and dancing, but no one will marry me because of it.

“I really don’t know. Aren’t you going to answer me?”

He could answer it, but somehow he felt embarrassed to do so.

“I have a busy schedule tomorrow, so please go to sleep.”

“But……”

“If you don’t sleep and talk to me more, I’ll go up to bed.”

With that said, Emily immediately lay down on the bed and pulled the blanket over.

“Good night.”

At the quick reply, Kylian smirked. My wife is weirder than I thought.

The next morning, when Emily woke up, she was alone in the room. She slept in the same room with him, and it was ridiculous for her to sleep well without getting nervous.

“Madam, would you like breakfast?”

Hearing a voice from behind the door, Emily answered yes. Originally, she wasn’t the type to eat breakfast, but she had been very hungry since yesterday because she was nervous.

“Then I will go in.”

Soon the maid brought a tray and started setting the table.

Fresh salmon salad, steaming omelet, buttery croissant, and homemade yogurt full of blueberries. There are various kinds of cheese and ham, and different kinds of fruit juice.

It was a luxurious breakfast I haven’t seen in a long time.

“Did he eat?”

The portion is too big to eat alone, so she wonders if Kylian will have breakfast with her.

“His Excellency usually doesn’t eat breakfast.”

“Really? Then where did he go?”

“He went to check the castle one more time.”

“I see.”

Kylian bought the title of marquis with money and built a castle in the capital. There was even a rumor about how much money he had earned from the back world.

Of course, he can buy the title of marquis because he has a lot of money, but that’s possible because this empire is so chaotic.

In the past, when the only daughter of the Vancent Empire, the Imperial Princess, married the Emperor of the Robert Empire, the right to succession to the throne was transferred to the Velvet family.

However, as the people of the Velvet family died in a mysterious accident, the right of succession passed back to the Manfredi family.

Although the process was uncomfortable, the Pope was able to stop the noise by raising the hand of the Manfredi family.

However, the imperial power rapidly weakened due to the unstable succession for many years.

Taking advantage of this chaos, the Mafia appeared in the Vancent Empire. In particular, the most powerful and famous mafia family among them was called the 4th family.

From the Star family with the Wolf seal, the Gothio family with the Viper seal, the Resetta family with the Brown Bear seal, and the Juliano family with the Jaguar seal.

Among them, the Star family quickly took control of the back world because of their outstanding abilities despite being a mafia family that appeared quite late.

Because of this, there were forces that quickly became acquainted with them, while there were forces that attacked them like the Juliano family, who regarded them as thorns.

Emily, who will also be a target because she is married to Kylian, has no choice but to live in tension.

“When will I leave for the castle?” She asked, finishing her breakfast somewhat and drinking tea from the maid.

“His Excellency said he would come to pick you up before lunch.”

“Then I have to hurry and get ready. Can you prepare me for a bath?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

After finishing her bath with the help of the maids, Emily hurried to finish her makeup before Kylian arrived.

They combed Emily’s chestnut-brown hair vigorously and delicately. Even without makeup, various colors began to appear on her clean skin.

The maids’ faces turned red at the look that her face changed according to how she was dressed. The new madam they met is more beautiful than expected.

Most of Emily’s original clothes had been disposed of because of her debts, so she wore new clothes from a designer sent by the Star family.

Although not striking to reflect her taste, it was an elegant green dress based on tailoring skills.

Emily was able to lean on the sofa after a long time due to her dressing-up time, which was longer than she expected.

But her break was not long. The servant announced the arrival of Kylian.

‘I don’t even have time to rest, do I?’

Emily got up from her seat and went downstairs.

Standing in the lobby was Kylian in a black robe coat with the collar of his shirt up and his cravat tied high, giving him an austere yet stylish look.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes, I don’t have any luggage from the beginning.”

The burden of the fallen noble girl is simple. The workers have already been dispersed to places where they can get paid, and the Sinope mansion, which was saved thanks to Kylian, will be managed by the butler and nanny.

Emily’s heart was pounding as she entered the Star family alone, with nothing to do with Sinope.

She was escorted by Kylian and got into the carriage. Emily was contemplating what she should talk about they were alone in the carriage, but she soon realized that her worries were useless.

Kylian is a very busy man. As soon as he got into the carriage, he took out a document and started going through it.

Only when the carriage rattled loudly did he lean his head back for a while and pressed his eyelids, and after going through the bumpy road did he concentrate on checking the documents again.

‘What a workaholic.’

Looking at him with slightly tired eyes, Emily leaned her head back and tried to sleep.

How many minutes have passed? Once again, the carriage rattled wildly, and Emily, losing her balance, fell between Kylian’s legs.

“……”

“……”

The two were so embarrassed that they could neither open their mouths nor move their bodies. Emily closed her eyes tightly and she sincerely prayed that this awkward atmosphere would end soon.

“Are you okay?”

Kylian, who came to his senses first, grabbed Emily’s elbows and sat her up.

“Yes.”

She banged her knees hard, but she couldn’t feel the pain because the shame was bigger.

‘More than that, his thighs are very firm.’

Thinking of Kylian’s thick and strong thighs, Emily hastily shook her head.
