The Obsessive Male Lead Wants To Become My Husband

hat his performance led to unexpected results.

The way people looked at me changed in an instant.
Suddenly, from a terrible fool who doesn’t even know my own abilities, I was being recognized by a genius like Gabian DeViro.

Although it wasn’t my intention, it wasn’t bad because my image was reversed thanks to him.

If I couldn’t change Cassius’s heart from the beginning, it would be a loss for my image in the social world to be slashed compared to before.

‘Well, if I give him one song, he will be satisfied and leave.’

I turned to Gabian.

“Okay.
I’ll tell you the details of the song tomorrow.”

He nodded his head with a thrilled expression on his face.

“I will make sure to make Young Lady’s name known widely! Soon, the whole continent will praise the Young Lady!”

No, I don’t think that’s necessary…

Fortunately, the wedding proposal ceremony didn’t last very long.
Although nothing went as I planned… Had it not been for the hope that I would soon become the Empress’s handmaiden and move away from this family, I would have lost my mind.

Nevertheless, Cassius didn’t even give me time to immerse myself in my thoughts.

“Evelyn, what are you thinking about?”

…Thinking about how to relinquish your blinded love.

However, I couldn’t even say that, so I put on a naive expression on my face.

“I didn’t think much.”

“You’d better not try to deceive me.”

Cassius spoke as he strode forward, standing at a point less than a foot away from me.

Was it an illusion that I heard rough breathing?

“I saw you talking happily with Gabian DeViro today.”

“…Are you jealous?”

I was dumbfounded and immediately questioned back.
After all, Gabian DeViro was an old gentleman who was old enough to retire.

“That’s not it.”

He murmured grimly.

“Considering your taste, there’s no way you’d like an older and ugly man like him.”

Oh, I’m speechless at this point…

“Still, I just can’t stand anyone who has taken your attention.”

“Well, don’t worry.
I’m always thinking of you.”

Of course, the idea of ​​how to run away from this nutcase.

“Is that so?”

Cassius’s voice lowered with a hint of danger, and he continued, “Then, tell me exactly what you were thinking a while ago.”

I quickly roll my brain.

…Thoughts related to Karthus and not suspicious—!

“I was wondering if the wedding might be held in a semi-compulsory way like this.”

“…Do I look like such a rude person?”

“You held the wedding proposal ceremony regardless of my intentions.
You must not have known that, did you?”

Hearing my words, he gazed down at me.

“Of course, I was going to marry you after you finished your duty as the Empress’s handmaiden, Evelyn.”

I tilted my head.

If he wants, I can get married whether I was a maid or not… though he’s going to wait?

“But, there’s no law that the Empress’s handmaiden must not get married?”

In fact, many aristocratic wives have served as handmaidens for the Empress or Princess.
Therefore, there would still be noble wives who still work as maids for Empress Theresia.

Cassius’s eyes narrowed.

“If you marry me while working as a maid, I will share you with the Empress.
Do you think I will allow that?”

Is it because I’m so used to people who are crazy?

Somehow, Cassius’s words seemed quite convincing.

Empress Theresia welcomed an esteemed guest after a long time.

“Princess Hermia!”

“How have you been, Empress?”

Hermia smiled confidently as she greeted her.
With her long, curly red hair and dark emerald eyes, Princess Hermia had an imposing and provocative charm.

“Thanks to the rare flowers and butterflies that you sent me last month, I’ve been doing well, and I’m not bored in the garden.”

“If Her Majesty the Empress was happy, I would be happy too.”

Theresia smiled quietly.

Hermia, like the other Princes, was a child of the former Empress, though she was sympathetic to Theresia from the beginning.
She also had no reason to be reluctant to her husband’s children, so she quickly got close to Hermia, who was approaching her in a friendly way.

However, the two did not communicate often.

In the Imperial Palace, everything has meaning.

The mere fact that the two met frequently could make It seem like Theresia was in favor of Hermia in the imperial power struggle.
Therefore, the reason Hermia came to see her today would not be just the sheer fact of accompanying her.

“So, why did you come to me today?”

Hermia’s green eyes lit up as she heard the word she had been waiting for.

“I have heard from the Empress that there will be a new exclusive maid soon.”
