I Became the Father of a Degenerate Emperor

Episode 2. Actions speak louder than words.

Episode 2. Actions speak louder than words.

A chilly sense of silence hovers in the air.

Due to people who suddenly stopped eating, the noble-looking golden table completely lost its presence.

The gorgeous chandelier hanging from the ceiling or the dazzling sunlight pouring through the glass windows don’t attract attention either.

Amidst the suffocating silence, the empress stared calmly at my eyes.

After all, he was going to do this again, and he was demanding an answer to why he didn’t kill himself on the day of the rebellion.

Tears forming on the edges of the quiet eyes look sad like dew at dawn.

In any case, the children see their father as a monster, and the wife sees her husband as a murderer.

The feeling of having someone else’s excrement spread all over my body was more uncomfortable than I thought, but it didn’t make me angry.

Considering the miserable years the empress and princes had endured, their distrustful attitude and hatred were quite natural.

Poof!

And yet, like an angry man, my right hand was raised high, and without realizing it, it was in a position ready to slap me.

It was clearly a move against my will.

The empress closed his eyes tightly as he was afraid to raise his arms.

It seemed that it was a response that had been learned for a long time, which seemed to be fast enough to be close to a conditioned reflex.

There can be no doubt that she has been beaten quite frequently.

But instead of her compassion, only her violent urge to really hit her keeps creeping up.

Of course, as someone who read the novel, I was well aware of the reason for that urge.

It was all because of the poison that was eating away at his body.

It was because the terrible miasma interfered with the mind and caused artificial anger.

That unreasonable rage was the reason why I raised my right arm, and even now, I was constantly urging myself to slap her on the cheek.

Madok was like that.

Extreme poison created by combining the poison of the dragon priest and the blood of the demon.

It not only corrupts the body of the addicted person, but also controls and pollutes the mind, and has the terrible effect of brainwashing them into committing evil deeds.

Moreover, it was possible for the demons who provided the blood to manipulate the addict like a puppet.

After a while, I started to hear a woman’s gentle voice in my head.

– Slap the empress.

Perhaps this voice is a hint set in advance by the demon who provided the blood.

When the rebellion broke out, I was enchanted by this voice and cut off the empress’s arm with my own hands.

Fortunately, he quickly came to his senses and only cut his skin slightly, but he couldn’t pick up the already spilled blood and added hatred.

Actually, I expected that this could happen at any time.

Of course, it was true that I was a little taken aback because I had no idea that it would be this morning.

But I already know how to defeat Mad Dog’s rule, so there’s nothing to worry about.

Soon after, the woman’s voice is heard again.

– Teach despair by strangling your ignorant wife and children.

Contrary to the creepy content, the voice is very sweet and sweet. The whispers were so enchanting that if I lost my mind for a moment, I would obey them like a slave.

Perhaps the emperor in the novel was captivated by this voice and abused the empress and princes.

– Trampling on this cheeky woman as an example.

A terribly bewitching voice spreads like ink spilled on white paper and quickly takes over my heart.

I tried to escape from the mind control of the demon poison by concentrating my consciousness on another object.

However, an incomparably stronger binding force was binding my mind so tightly.

It was much stronger than expected and I couldn’t easily shake it off.

I didn’t even know that I was facing the biggest crisis since I was possessed in a novel.

If you make a mistake, you may be dominated by your voice and follow the miserable journey of the emperor in the novel.

A miserable situation in which he becomes a puppet, harms his family, kills loyalists, and finally dies at the hands of his son.

I never want to be like that.

– Teach this arrogant b*tch the dignity of the emperor himself by punching him.

As soon as I heard those words, my palms curled up on their own and my fists naturally clenched.

A fist shaking as if it wanted to be swung by the empress at any moment.

The suggestion of hitting and my will to not want to do so were violently colliding.

Perhaps as time went on, the dominance of the voice became much stronger, so except for the eyes, the body did not move at all.

To break the bondage, you must divert your attention as quickly as possible.

Desperate enough to be able to shake off this enchanting voice.

The only way to get out of Madok’s control is to think of it quickly.

If it is accompanied by intense pain, you will be able to come to your senses more easily.

In the midst of my slowly fading consciousness, I opened my eyes wide as if to shake off sleepiness.

And I focused on my inner earnest desire.

Since I came here, there was only one thing I wanted.

It is to survive.

I don’t want to die at the hands of my children like the emperor in the novel, being caught up in a false impulse.

That is what I most ardently crave right now.

– By breaking this woman’s arrogant nose, the majesty of the imperial authority…….

As all consciousness is focused on just one desire, the desire to live, the woman’s voice slowly begins to fade.

Little by little, my mind seems to be getting clearer.

I was still unable to move my limbs, but the upper part of my neck was finally able to move.

It was only then that I felt a stinging gaze.

Two red eyes glistening with life.

The first prince was glaring at me.

The blazing eyes seemed to foretell a terrible ending.

I felt impatient at that murderous stare and bit the cheek in my mouth with all my might.

Flesh was ripped off and blood pooled in the mouth.

It was very stinging and bitter, but I swallowed it without a sound.

The intensity of the pain is considerable, and my mind becomes clear in an instant.

The woman’s voice was no longer heard. Her limbs also slowly seem to be numb.

Perhaps quite a bit of time has passed since then, the empress opened her eyes again and was looking at me.

Wide, round eyes and slightly parted lips. It’s like a doll that has no movement, so you can’t even hear the sound of breathing.

The look on his face really disbelieved that I hadn’t hit him.

Anyway, I don’t know what to do with my right hand that is still raised.

The empress definitely felt threatened, and the first one vividly witnessed it with her own two eyes.

Now that he even clenched his fist, even if he lowered his hand, no words could deny that he tried to hit him.

Now I needed a plausible excuse.

I have to do whatever I can to minimize the first one’s hatred.

I spurred on my brain cells and did my best to roll my hair.

Then the conclusion I finally came to was to scratch my head as naturally as possible.

I carefully opened my clenched fist and began scratching my scalp. He slowly exaggerated his movements and finally scratched the area around the top of his head.

“My hair is a bit itchy today.”

A feeling of shame for some reason.

At times like this, you have to give out an awkward smile, but the face that has been rigid for a long time and has finally hardened like a fossil doesn’t listen to me at all.

Only then, the first guy lowers his head again and resumes eating.

This seems to be safe for now. The worst is to escape.

“Why… ….”

The empress had an expression that she still did not understand the whole situation.

“The meat will cool down. Eat it while it’s still warm.”

I averted her gaze and calmly sliced her youngest son’s steak.

Sseuk- Sseuk-

I put my heart and soul into it and cut it into small pieces so that it fits in one bite.

I remembered the saying, ‘What you see is half food,’ and I even arranged it neatly.

After a while, the second came back holding the youngest by the wrist and wiping away her tears. She really didn’t want to be like this, but she couldn’t help it.

“It’s black… ….”

The two guys are still sobbing with fearful expressions.

Perhaps he was expecting a terrible punishment from me.

It was heartbreaking to see these cute little guys cry in fear, but my expression and voice didn’t reflect that feeling at all.

“Have a seat.”

A stern voice, like that of a judge speaking to a criminal. Upon hearing this, the empress and princes trembled in surprise.

However, sincerity is difficult to put into words, and actions speak louder than words.

I carefully held out her steak platter to her youngest. I hope that my heart will be fully conveyed.

Seeing that, the eyes of the first, who had been silent all along, turned round.

It was an expression that he really didn’t know it would be like this.

Everyone clearly portrayed on their faces the thought, ‘Why is this trash suddenly doing this?’.

The youngest boy was still hesitant to pick up a knife and fork with tears in his eyes, probably because the sudden favor was very unpleasant.

Perhaps for a moment they suspect I poisoned them.

Now I am that terrible to them.

I spoke cautiously to the youngest.

“I just wanted to cut the meat for you. I’m sorry if I was scared.”

Unsurprisingly, the empress and princes once again put on a shocked expression.

Looks like a male lion grazing while standing on his head.

I thought I might get sick of that ardent gaze, but I hurriedly chewed the steak and swallowed it.

Empress and princes staring only at me until I finish emptying the plate.

It seemed like he was suddenly asking for an explanation of why he was like this, but I can’t bear to say that I was possessed in a novel.

In the end, I couldn’t find a better alternative than silence.

Sug-

After clearing a plate of steak, he calmly wiped his mouth.

It’s time to go.

If you try to get too much from the beginning, you will be overzealous.

“I have a schedule, so I’ll wake you up first.”

I just left those words and stood up.

I hope that this small, insignificant step will save my life.

The Empress of the Kratus Empire, Estill Bright.

It’s been quite a while since the rebellion broke out, but she’s still awake.

Because her head was full of the face of a blonde haired man with a red eye.

The man she once loved so much.

Her husband, Kratus IV, the emperor of the Kratus Empire.

Lux Divinitas Kratus.

The first day after turning 15 and entering the academy.

I fell in love like fate at the sight of her once stolen gaze.

He, who was the crown prince at the time, also confessed that he fell in love with her at first sight.

As the school year went up and the seasons changed several times, the love between the two grew deeper and deeper.

She dropped out of the academy at the age of 18, shortly after she became the Crown Princess, and at 19 she gave birth to her first child, Eric.

She also got a second and a third due to a two-year gap.

Every moment seemed to be blessed by God.

I was that happy.

I was so immersed in the joy of life that I desperately wished that if this was a dream, I would never wake up.

But one day in the year her youngest was two years old, the man she had been so affectionate with suddenly turned into a different person.

There was a new woman next to the changed emperor.

“Camilla Vicious.”

The emperor had introduced the woman as his mistress with her own mouth.

“How could this be… ….”

Her teeth trembled at the feeling of her betrayal that welled up deep in her heart.

He let go of his love so easily. He brutally trampled on his wife’s faith and shattered her pride as empress.

Even if the ground suddenly cracked one day and the sky collapsed, it wouldn’t be so hopeless. He was so miserable
