Cesare Traon Karl Erzet, the Imperial Commander-in-Chief.
After three years of service in the war, he returned to propose to Eileen.
Eileen struggled to believe that Cesare’s marriage proposal was sincere.
After all, from the moment they met when she was ten,
The affectionate man had always treated her like a child.
 
“I don’t—I don’t want to marry Your Highness.”
 
For so long, her love for him was unrequited.
She did not wish for their marriage to be a transaction.
 
Was it because of the long war?
 
The man, who was normally cool and rational, had changed.
His impulsive actions, his unbridled desire for her—they were all too unfamiliar.
 
“This should only be done with someone you love!”
 
“You can also do it with the person you plan to marry.”
 
Eileen was intrigued by this change.
 
And yet, the closer she became with Cesare…
She discovered things that defied reason or logic.
 
Eileen learned about her husband’s many evil deeds not long after.
 
“I couldn’t even have your body, Eileen.”
 
Everything he did was for her.
 
He became the villain, only for his Eileen.

Wicked Husband

An Eileen who was about to be sold by her father and whisked off to a foreign country would naturally come to Cesare for help.

Cesare's original plan was not to meet her at his estate but to intervene three days later, when the old swine would come to take Eileen away.

"Seeing your face always makes me feel weak."

Cesare played with his pocket watch in one hand and twisted Eileen's hair with the other. Lotan sighed as he watched those brown locks being played with left and right.

"Wouldn't it have been better if you hadn't even allowed her to see Baron Elrod if you were feeling 'so weak'?"

"Now that wouldn't do. I can't deny my bride's wishes, can I?"

Though he replied calmly, Lotan knew very well what kind of man his master was. He could've been more tactful, but he deliberately showed Eileen that disgusting sight to further alienate her from her father.
