This is all because MC decided to get lazy and didn't get her brother abducted and tortured for life.

MC had 2+ years to kill off that shitty brother. now that she didn't, people are dying. Greeeeat.

Wonder if it'd had been easier to just kill that shitty brother and be done with politics.
Killing off people that are certain to cause death is a great way to later die without regrets.

Damn, the situation was a pain in the ass enough to reveal such a huge card.

My hubby has been accused of treason? *Sigh,* what a pain in the ass...
Oh actually, this seems troublesome-

These guys are the absolute best underlings. Love 'em.

You failed

yeah same https://i.postimg.cc/hG8GGFzG/i.png not that I would ever get a sentence this coherent out-

... Is this a classic or the modern Villainess story situation here?

I fucking need the next chapter now- Anyway, even if mans were to commit treason, how could the Empire dare burn down the city down? They are literally the only good line of defense against the OP monster's that'll steamroll through the Empire.

I'm squealing--

Smol and pouty brat, princess carry and give her a forehead kiss ♥

M-
Mommy-

PRINCESS CARRY MAMA TO THE BEDROOM AND BREED IMMEDIATELY

This crown prince and princess pair seem adorable and innocent so far.
Tia-chan's protec instinct flared up. Must escort the precious Crown Princess.

Oh my goodness...!! Baby!!~
Glad to see MC is friends(?) with the Emperor's Daughter(?), her daughters are very precious
Oh for fucks sake, did brother bastard get his memories back??? This is why he should've been dealt with already.

It's always the goddamn arms. If only they aimed just a bit to the right or left...-

Oh, all THAT happened during Winter?
Good grief, wonder why Tia's brother has been allowed to live for this long.
Awwwh, they're still alive ♥

I'm happy with this :3 Bit of a timeskip it seems tho-

Should we be lucky or annoyed that they didn't show what the Duke's children looked like? They all just got killed by guilt of association and we don't even know their faces.
