I was reincarnated as the villainess, Eliana Museau, who was killed by the cunning Emperor.
Instead of doing nothing and dying according to the novel, I planned a way to survive by seeking him out.
But… something is wrong?
I haven’t done anything yet, but the Emperor started clinging to me first.

“Don’t go.”
Verkley grabbed Eliana’s collar. His gaze was entirely focused on her. Then he whispered pleadingly once more.
“You’ve tamed me, Lily. You have to take responsibility for that.”
He gently squeezed her hand. And before she knew it, Verkley’s lips brushed the tips of Eliana’s fingers.
From the tips of her fingers to the back of her hand, his lips trailed kisses as if leaving a mark.
His eyes remained fixed on Eliana the entire time.
With an unreadable expression, he pulled Eliana’s arm.
And closed the distance between them.
Then he leaned in with a low voice and a cunning smile.
“If you leave, I’ll kill that bastard.”
