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

Cesare stared intently at Eileen. Although she had asked to be held, she was already in his embrace. It seemed he was questioning whether there was a deeper meaning behind her request.

To confirm his thoughts, Eileen reached for his uniform with trembling hands and carefully began to unfasten a button. His crimson eyes followed her every movement. When she reached the third button, his hand swiftly intercepted hers.

"There's no need to do this," he said in a firm yet gentle tone.

Cesare stepped back from Eileen and began to rebutton his uniform, his voice soft as he continued.

"Lucio Zaetani has harbored feelings for you since your university days. His affection was not pure; he also engaged in inappropriate behavior."

Eileen had always known that Cesare had been watching over her during her university years, providing her with his protection.
