Chapter 119

Vivian had a very rude thought against the emperor and her eyes glistened.

In the past, she was going to respect Cardel’s taste without caring who she was connected to, but she thought it might be a good thing that things turned out like this.

If this condition continues, Cardel is more likely to be destroyed than to have a happy ending like a novel. It’s her job as a friend to not just walk past her scheduled misfortune.

Of course, there were a few thoughts that she wanted to use the emperor as a novel subject.

Like ‘How to Tame a Bad Guy’.

Then Julian suddenly put his hood back on. His pale hands, clenching the hood, stood out blood and bone joints.

He bit his lips as if to regain his composure. He seemed to be trying to make a placid voice. Even though it was still full of confusion.

“This can’t be the way to love someone.”

“Why?”

“If love is such a painful thing, who would want to be in love?”

“What do you think love is?”

“Something that We would never do.”

“……”

Vivian sighed inwardly and touched her forehead. Who was in charge of his education? Come out and hit your head right now.

“If you have feelings, there’s no way you don’t know love. It hurts because you love her. Because you don’t get paid back.”

One-sided love was bound to hurt.

She doesn’t hesitate to say something that would hurt him, and the fact that she said that to the other person hurts herself, and the other person gets hurt and slowly moves away.

When she sees someone who doesn’t even look at her even if she tries not to pay them back, even if she wants to sacrifice and give them everything, she feels resentful, sad, and heartbroken. When she has to wish them happiness, she ends up falling apart.

“I can’t tie him to my side, I can’t leave him, I can’t let him leave, I can’t just wander around…”

Vivian blabbed hard thinking about the story and finally recalled Aiden and made a gloomy face. She just recited the definition of unrequited love that she knew as a romance novel writer, but why does she have to sympathize so desperately?

But it’s not that bad yet?

She muttered to herself that she could still get out and shook her head lightly.

“…that’s what it is.”

Upon hearing her explanation, Julian apparently showed signs of agitation but pretended not to be.

“Are you talking about your stupid novel?”

“It’s a story of a crush.”

“Ha, We don’t have a crush!”

Vivian eventually thought of the emperor screaming out of patience.

It’s cute looking at it.

At first, it was annoying to nitpick with useless words, but as she kept looking at it, she could see it clearly, that he was like a younger brother who insisted that it was not true. That’s a brother who doesn’t listen to others and doesn’t care about others.

She thought it’s inevitable that he has high self-esteem because he’s the emperor.

“If you try to get away from it, you’ll have to force your arms and legs to be tied. That’s a lot of work!”

Well, what can she do when she is dealing with a little boy. She’ll lure him out with candy……

“It’s before we check the other’s hearts, so we have to say it’s a one-sided love.”

So how many times shall we say we have no feelings for her!

“Now it’s time for Cardel’s feelings to be directed at you. I’m telling you this because you read my novel, but the scene where they checked each other’s affection is more beautiful because of the conflict. Now that you’ve had enough conflict, it’s your turn to draw a happy ending, isn’t it?”

She smiled and tilted her head. No matter how much he denied it, she was smiling like a gentle sister as if she knew everything. His stomach was bursting with frustration.

However, the strangest thing is that he doesn’t want to argue anymore when he hears the words ‘happy ending’. It was very unpleasant to admit, but he was being taken in by that snake woman.

Vivian said, clenching her fists.

“Now, Your Majesty, leave the scenario to the expert!”

She thought she’s having fun. The emperor stared at the brave expression and suddenly stretched out his arms and grabbed her by the collar. Vivian gasped and opened her eyes wide, swallowing her breath. The emperor’s face was just around the corner.

“You.”

“What?”

“I’ll be back tomorrow.”

“What?”

“I refuse in advance.”

She didn’t even have time to answer. Julian walked out of the library with a swift walk, showing his back as if he were running away, after he had left her by the collar roughly.

The exit was as quick as his appearance.

She felt like a storm had swept through everything. Vivian stood blankly for a while, unable to take her eyes off Julian’s disappearance.

“Anyway, temper…”

She sighed and looked down at the front of her crumpled dress.

If she tried hard to teach and doesn’t see a bud, she’d better take Cardel and run away. With this obstinate attitude, she could never allow the tender-hearted Cardel to stand by.

Vivian locked herself in without knowing that she was thinking similar to Julian, who she had identified as someone with a ‘brother complex’.
