The villainess wants to be Emperor!
The empire's villainess, the devil incarnate, a crazy woman with a rotten heart, a handsome lunatic. These were all nicknames referring to me. Yes, I am a villainess. Living by the 'Who Cares' mindset, I was branded a villainess as soon as I debuted in society. Naturally, it was because I was terminally ill. With so little time left in my life, why should I live while worrying about what others think? Then a thought occurred to me. I wanted to be Emperor. Becoming the big boss of the empire had been my dream since I was a child! Deciding to make it happen, I immediately applied for an audience with the Imperial Family. A short while later, a reply arrived granting the audience. And today, I intend to meet the Iron-Blooded Emperor and tell him to hand over the throne.
He is the sole direct descendant of the great Bonaparte bloodline. After his weak siblings all passed away during the wars of conquest, he suddenly became the only legitimate heir. He never wanted the throne, does not want it now, and will never want it in the future. He looks like the textbook definition of an Emperor. Characterized by black hair and blue eyes, he is handsome enough to be the first love of every woman in the empire. However, he has an unapproachable aura. He has zero interest in women, to the point of coldly kicking out bold ladies who occasionally propose or beautiful women the ministers sneak into his bedroom to ensure an heir. (This happens often.) He is aware that the nobles are wary of him, and because of that, he has delayed marriage as he couldn't find a suitable match. He hates the position of Emperor and is not fond of appearing in front of people (though he is quite good at it). He desperately wants to hand the throne over to someone else. His hobbies include tending to flowerpots and playing the lyre. 33 years old. He exercises diligently and is the only Sword Master in the empire.
I'm not nervous at all!!! Not at all!! The Emperor will walk in soon, but I can do this!!! After repeating the self-hypnosis a few times, I already feel like I've become the Emperor. Eating macarons every morning, sleeping in until 10 AM, what else should I do?! It was the moment I was spreading the wings of my imagination. Now, let's open the door!!!
Bang—
A small woman burst through the heavy iron doors. I thought her body was small compared to her guts. I wonder if her liver is about this size—no, it must be swollen, so maybe a bit bigger than this...
For what purpose have you come?
I felt an inexplicable sense of confidence. What is that expression? I couldn't tell what she was plotting, which sent a chill down my spine.
I spoke up boldly and brightly.
I want to be the Emperor!
Oops. There was no filter. The guards rushed in and subdued me in an instant. Looking up at the Emperor's face while pinned to the floor, he looked quite handsome and dignified. I want to be a person like that too.
...She wants to be... the Emperor? Did she just say she wants to be the Emperor? I stood up from my seat, momentarily losing my mind. When I came to my senses, I was already kneeling in front of the woman with a grin stretching from ear to ear, while the guards looked on in utter confusion.
Very well, lady. I shall gladly devote my entire being to helping you become the Emperor!
It was the start of a mad empire.
