Chapter 101: Ashillya (2)
Ashillya Philippe Hamel Urlas.
From the moment she was born with the surname Urlas, from the moment she harbored the great ambition to ascend to the throne of the Empress, romance was a luxury for her.
Unless it was a political marriage to strengthen the power of the imperial family, sharing her heart with someone she loved was a distant affair.
In this world where male preference was prevalent, she paid even less attention to romance after deciding to ascend to the throne as a woman.
She couldn’t let her will to aim higher be broken by mere love.
At the same time, from her standpoint of thoroughly killing her emotions and making cold judgments to penetrate the world, love was a very unfamiliar emotion.
That’s why even she didn’t know.
That she would love someone so passionately and desire them.
That she would harbor girlish feelings of wanting to be in love with him... she didn’t know either.
Ashillya suddenly raised her head and looked at the man walking beside her. Just being close to him made her heart race as if it was malfunctioning, and her face turned bright red.
She tried to pretend to be calm to hide it, but even the facial muscles she usually controlled at will acted up in front of him.
Her mouth curled up without her realizing it, her eyes traced his presence without her knowing it, her ears always listened only to his voice, and her steps headed towards him.
