The news of the new president of Red Dusk reaching a 'compromise' with the Empress of Blue Dawn soon reached the ears of the Commonwealth's public, and many people couldn't help but praise the man for his 'competency'. Although most of these early news reports were mostly 'tentative', most people were already sure of their authenticity based on the trend. "Our new president is definitely much better than the last one, isn't he? Makes me wonder why more people didn't vote for him…

Compared to someone who could be weaving a net against him in secret at any time, Tom had to admit that the prospect of having a stupid and silly girl as his 'boss' was actually quite good. 'Plus, as long as I can gain more trust and start meeting her in private, that little bitch is going to be so fucking easy to control… heh. Those greedy whores who just pamper and praise her for little benefits don't even know how to make good use of things, but that's also good for me!' Once he…

The judge assigned to their case had at first wanted to dismiss it entirely by giving out compensation from the empire's own funds for the damages at first. But because Cindy insisted on paying it herself, both the judge and the 'victim' were left feeling quite embarrassed and tangled, feeling like they were bullying an innocent little girl. What made it even more awkward was that Cindy also pleaded with them for the favor of 'allowing installments'. Had it not been for the fact that the judge…

Back in the only 'safe' room of the heavily monitored villa he had been allotted by his 'good friend' who was now reaching the peak of his political career, Tom couldn't help but frown in displeasure as he pointed his finger at his 'assistant' in frustration. "Hey you, be honest with me here… it was because you knew about Emilia's 'secret' that you switched sides first, right?" The girl with shoulder-length ash-blonde hair blinked at him in confusion. "W-What are you talking about……

Knowing that he thought of her as an ignorant child that was easy to fool, the crimson-haired girl obviously knew just how to get on the man's nerves. Tapping her soft lips playfully, she twirled her chair around from side to side with a smile. "You see, since you know I'm smart, how can I be stupid enough to wait for someone who denied me to change their mind?" After taking a moment to enjoy the stunned look on the man's face, she grinned. "Whenever I asked mommy for something and…

"Are you sure? Didn't you previously say that anything he wanted to say would be a waste of time anyway?" Emilia giggled, finding the skeptical look on Noelle's face inexplicably cute. "Oh, I did say that, didn't I? But you can't blame me for changing my mind after you mentioned how his face turned purple like a suffocating pig after you told him I 'didn't have the time to waste on irrelevant people' last time, can you?" The gray-haired girl opened her mouth to refute, but she couldn't…

Having already expected his outburst, Emilia wasn't surprised at all. "Relax… It's not like I'm asking you to take over the world or anything… Just make sure that the current government of Red Dusk loses their support, and a new one comes into power within the next thirty days, that's it." Tom pointed a finger at his own face in disbelief. "I get what you're saying, but… how am I supposed to get any of that done?!" The crimson-haired girl blinked at him innocently. "I was told…
-
With the government of Red Dusk tucking their head within their shell like a turtle while turning a blind eye to all the questioning and criticism being directed their way, Emilia knew it was time to strike them where it hurt. And finally receiving the 'summons' he had been waiting for, Tom was also inwardly relieved. Given how childish and whimsical this empress seemed, he hadn't been quite sure if she would perhaps just forget about his existence over time. Of course, it wasn't…

By the time Tom was done spilling everything he could remember that might end up hurting those who plotted against him, he was already panting in both pain and exhaustion. Not only did he not feel relieved after 'venting' as he expected, but he also felt like his body was slowly turning hollow, as if a monster was eating his flesh from the inside out. Although the physical pain wasn't too obvious, it was still terrifying. 'Shit! Didn't that bastard claim his poison wouldn't leave…

There was no doubt that the Empress of Blue of Dawn was gorgeous, and even as a man who had seen plenty of what the world had to offer, Tom had to acknowledge that she was in a league of her own. The rumors and photos did not exaggerate anything at all. But no matter how pleasing to the eye she was, the fact that she was openly ignoring him while keeping him in such a disgraceful position was still infuriating! After all, if this wasn't an open insult, what was it? Granted, he had been…
