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

As Eileen stepped out of the carriage, guided by Diego, a sea of curious gazes fell upon her. Diego clicked his tongue and muttered under his breath,

"Goodness, they've swarmed like bees."

The word "bees" hardly did justice to the sheer number of people gathered. It felt as though there were even more than at the Imperial Palace's grand balls.

Eileen, her face pale with anxiety, followed Diego's lead with unsteady steps. Diego gently adjusted the hem of her dress and whispered reassuringly.

"They're all here just to see you, my lady."

Nobles who hadn't been invited to the wedding had come to catch a glimpse of Eileen on her first day at the palace. Eileen could hardly believe that so many had gathered simply to see her.
