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

Meeting her father in the Imperial Palace felt surreal to Eileen.

She had been planning to visit him herself to issue another stern warning, but she never anticipated that he would appear on his own accord.

The Grand Duke must have brought him…

Eileen glanced at Baron Elrod, who looked as though he might collapse at any moment, before subtly shifting her gaze. Their eyes met, and a faint smile flickered in Cesare's eyes. With his long legs swiftly covering the distance, he reached Eileen in just a few strides.

Cesare first pulled Eileen into his embrace, wrapping his arms around her waist. Without hesitation, he lowered his head and kissed her cheek.

A restrained gasp rippled through the crowd that had gathered, their attention riveted by Cesare's open display of affection.
