The Obsessive Male Lead Found Out I’m Alive

“Your hair is so nice.”

Kaiden kissed Evelina’s hair and looked into her eyes. The two were lying in one bed, and this was, of course, the bedroom of the Emperor’s Palace.

Evelina was staring at him with her eyes wide open.

“Maybe it’s because I have a lot of hair, but it sometimes sticks to my clothes.”

“Like cat hair?”

“Hahaha. Yes. But wouldn’t it be more like rabbit hair?”

The palpitations he often felt whenever Evelina’s hair clung to him seemed to dominate his heart again.

“Oh, is that so…”

She felt good when he stroked her head and touched the top of her hair.

“Come to think of it, Lina’s hair all over her body is platinum.”

“What?”

“The hair on your arms and between your legs… Eup…”

“St, stop.”

Evelina knew what he was saying was a compliment, but she blocked his mouth in shame.

“Is that why you were obsessively watching?”

Kaiden laughed as she pulled out her hand and looked straight at him.

“When did I obsessively watch it?”

“Every time we do it. Legs… every time you lift them.”

“Yes, it was pretty.”

Perhaps because it was strange that he said such obscene words casually, her cheeks burned without realizing it.

“Kaiden’s is… It’s too stiff. The hair all over your body is like a thorn.”

“Is it the same with the hair on my head?”

“The hair there is soft. Everything that’s not there stings.”

Evelina said the same thing to him to be ashamed of. However, he was only happy and smiling as if he could not see any shame.

Perhaps because he was smiling so defenselessly, Evelina didn’t even think of picking on him. It felt like scratching a person who was more pleased every time he was scratched.

“I like your eyes too. Time passes strangely every time I look into Lina’s eyes.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Like this.”

He pulled Evelina into his arms and met her eyes within reach of her nose.

“When I look at them, it seems like time has stopped, but it’s going very slowly.”

“When you’re bored, it feels like it’s going slow.”

“Seeing how fast it goes when we talk, it must be because we’re having fun.”

Kaiden rubbed the bridge of her nose and laughed. Evelina really loved that he was sweet again, so she dug into his arms.

“In fact, when Lina didn’t come back, I was going to be a saint.”

“…really?”

“Yes. There is a legend that if you die of a holy army, he will grant your wish after you die.”

“Oh, I think I’ve heard of it.”

“But maybe because I lived a healthy life as a saint at that time, Lina came back with my child.”

Evelina found it interesting that he believed such superstitious legends. On the other hand, her mind seemed to be shaking. Because she was sorry.

“I’ll be much nicer from now on.”

“You’re only going to be nice because of this?”

“It may be one thing for Lina, but you’re everything to me.”

Evelina’s heart seemed to melt at his words. The ice barrier, which she feared would melt when she faced him with a wall the other day, now seemed to be blooming as if it were spring.

“I hope it’s a son.”

“I hope it’s a daughter. I hope it looks like Lina.”

“What if it’s a daughter and she looks like Kaiden?”

“…”

As Kaiden closed her mouth and frowned, Evelina involuntary smiled.

“Answer me, Kaiden. What if she’s a daughter who looks just like Kaiden? She doesn’t look like me at all?

Then he said with a serious look on his face.

“Then I’ll live a nicer life. Then you’ll have another baby.”

“What if we have 10 babies and everyone looks like Kaiden?”

“Then, with my love for Lina, I will try to be good to my children.”

“Phew…”

Evelina liked his answer, so she touched the tip of his nose with her hand.

“Then what if I have 10 children who look just like me?”

“Then I’ll live a less good life.”

“Oh my goodness. How shameless.”

She smiled broadly at his answer and kissed him on the lips. Then Kaiden covered her body and parted his lips.

“It’s better to do it because the birth date is not far away.”

“I know. Come here. I still want to do it.”

Evelina smiled as she fell naturally under his body.

That’s how they ended up spending a happy night. Evelina fell asleep as if she had fainted because she ran out of energy.

But that dawn, she had to wake up reluctantly.

“Your Majesty!”

Ruskun Weimar was the first to run after putting on armor. He armed himself to support the Emperor and entered the bedroom of the Emperor’s Palace without knocking.

“The rebels are coming in!”

Ruskun Weimar was the only vassal of the Imperial Palace who could enter armed.

“Kaiden?”

Kaiden had been awake since the sound of his footsteps rang in the hallway, and when Ruskun noticed Evelina, who was already in simple casual clothes.

“Take Lina with you.”

“But Your Majesty…!”

“Take her. I trust you most, Weimar.”

“Kaiden? Wait a minute. Kaiden!”

By the time Evelina came to her senses, she was already on the move, carried on her back by Ruskun Weimar.

“Kaiden!”

“It won’t be long.”

“Wait! Put me down!”

Ruskun Weimar tried to take struggling Evelina, but when Kaiden approached for a while, he dropped her down.

“It’s dangerous! Come with me!”

Evelina said so as soon as her eyes met with Kaiden.

“Don’t worry. It’s much more important to me that Lina is safe.”

“But…”

“It is more dangerous to His Majesty that Your Majesty the Empress is in danger.”

Ruskun Weimar intervened. And when he heard Ruskun called Evelina empress, Kaiden chuckled.

“What if you get hurt? And if you really get hurt…”

“If I get hurt, it’s okay. And if I get hurt this time, Lina will take care of me. That’s all I need.”

“I don’t want you to get hurt. I hate it when Kaiden gets hurt.”

When Evelina cried, Kaiden seemed to feel weak.

“I won’t get hurt.”

“I promise. When our child is born, I will stand by your side without a single strand of hair lost.”

“You promised.”

He held her hand tightly and said, releasing it.

“Take the Empress, Weimar.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Thus, Evelina was carried back by Ruskun Weimar who removed the frame from the Emperor’s bedroom and went through a secret passage.

Kaiden knew a rebellion would break out one day. With the unusual move in Tenesi.

Tenesi’s Crown Prince Renold, who even sent an edict to support Kaiden, died upon his return. He had died before the edict arrived, which said that he did not oppose the Abelard Empire.

At that time, Kaiden pretended to be a holy man, hoping to see Evelina again. He let it slide.

He thought Gallas, the second prince of Tenesi, was similar to him in the past. He also killed his father, killed all his brothers, and became King.

But now he didn’t think they were the same. With the military power of the small kingdom of Tenesi, surprise attacks like now were all there was to it. How could someone with only that much ability be similar to him?

At first, he didn’t even believe Prince Ashes was alive. Because he was the one who confirmed the death himself.

On the day that Kaiden rebelled and seized the throne, Ashes Abelard was dead after drinking poison in his room.

According to the original plan, they would cut his head, hang it on the wall, divide it into five parts, and burn it in the capital city square. However, it was the same day Evelina said she would marry him.

He preserved the corpse for his half-brother, like generosity to the dead. However, it was not known how he died and how he came back to life. Until they saw Evelina come back alive the same way.

The legendary drug, only in Tenesi. It was said that taking the medicine will kill you and wake you up again.

He had already completed all the investigations by the time he came to find Evelina. Therefore, he just pretended not to know, but he had no choice but to know that Prince Ashes was alive.

“…”

But he seemed a little angry.

He managed to make up with Evelina and now he had a really happy night, sharing not only their bodies but also their hearts. He wanted to enjoy the afterglow, and his anger at not having breakfast together was making his heart ache.

He knew how lovely Evelina was to see in the morning.

“Your Majesty!”

“Your Majesty!”

“All set, Your Majesty!”

He was going to get things done as fast as he could.

“Do as you are told.”

He spoke dryly and wore a helmet. Obviously, it was a clean and polished helmet, but it smelled like blood every time he used it.

~~~~

Kaiden laughed at the fact that the number of rebels advancing on the capital was smaller than expected.

“It’s pathetic that this is how many they’ve collected.”

Even if he didn’t have to touch the knights guarding the border, it seemed that the capital’s knights would be enough.

“The Marquis of Peran is in the midst of death.”

“What about the Marquis’ knights?”

“The Marquis said he would hand over the full authority to His Majesty.”

Kaiden wondered why Ianathas Peran was not with the rebel group. He was the one who served as the hands and feet of the Marquis of Logias.

“I wonder why the Marquis was abandoned.”

Then the aide handed the papers to Kaiden. On the front of the two sheets of paper were Ianathas Peran’s handwriting along with the family head seal ring.

“He’s well-prepared for today’s near death.”

In the first sheet, it mentioned handing over the leadership of the knights to the Emperor.

The second sheet was an indictment.

He was reading the letters carefully and looking at them as if they were caught in a certain part.

「 Serena Verdeen is Evelina Logias, and the current Evelina Logias Abelard is a commoner from a poorhouse. So the Queen, Evelina, is not at fault.

I hope you will have mercy on Her Majesty, your wife, Evelina, in consideration of my accusation of all this. 」

“Ha.”

He found it funny and annoying that Ianathas Peran had finally come to his senses.

“Send the antidote in the Imperial Palace to the Marquis.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Kaiden said that and waited. For the time to cut off the heads of the rebel leaders.
