My Husband is Possessed by the Main Character

It was something he couldn’t understand.

There was nothing in which he was inferior to Alec.

Suppressing his displeasure, Aksen spoke.

“…Right. I guess a ring of that size must seem unimpressive to you, Louise.”

“….”

“I can make you something far more extravagant than that.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. No matter what you give me, I’ll never be yours. Did you really think I’d abandon Alec and become your wife?”

“Why not?”

Aksen gritted his teeth and asked in return.

He was being more than tolerant of Louise’s rudeness.

After all, being Alec’s wife couldn’t even compare to becoming Empress.

She wouldn’t just be an Empress in name only.

Louise would have everything an Empress could possibly have.

“You’ll be the Empress who receives all my favor. No one will ever look down on you again, and you’ll be able to have anything you want. Those who’ve made you uncomfortable could be executed with just a wave of your hand.”

“….”

“You’ll have power second only to the Emperor. Whatever you ask of me, I’ll grant it. We’d be the most ideal Emperor and Empress, revered and feared by all the people in the world.”

“….”

“There’s no one but you for this. Isn’t this enough?”

Aksen asked coldly, feeling a strange emotion for a moment.

What was driving him to say all this now?

It felt unfamiliar and uncomfortable.

Though it was undoubtedly his true feelings, saying them out loud wasn’t in the way he wanted.

He hadn’t desired Louise to experience these kinds of feelings.

Suddenly, Louise spoke in a low voice.

“Why did you abandon Olivia?”

“…Olivia?”

Aksen frowned slightly.

He couldn’t understand why Olivia was being mentioned now.

Louise continued speaking with a cold gaze.

“The Empress, mad with jealousy, tried to kill me. What a remarkable woman. How could anyone love someone like you?”

“….”

Aksen didn’t know how to respond.

He just stood there, stiff, suppressing the unpleasant feeling gnawing at him.

Suddenly, he remembered the day he found Olivia collapsed in the Empress’s garden, completely ruined.

That was before he had drained all of Olivia’s energy, before he had completely killed her.

Louise sneered coldly.

“If it were me, I wouldn’t want to live a single day by your side. But Olivia must have loved you so much. She said everything would be fine as long as she could stay by your side.”

“….”

“What woman in the world could have such feelings for you? But now that Olivia is dead, what will you do?”

“….”

“No one in this world will ever love you again.”

Louise clenched her teeth without blinking.

Her gaze seemed to tear through his insides like thorns.

It reminded him of his dead mother.

Why did his mother die again?

Ah.

Aksen suddenly recalled that he had killed both his mother and father.

After he had endured hardship and finally manifested his magical powers, he needed someone to test his strength on.

And he wanted to show his parents his new, powerful self.

“Why? Why didn’t you believe me back then?”

“….”

“I wasn’t trying to kill the Crown Prince on purpose!”

“Aaaah! Get away! My son isn’t a monster like you!”

Aksen was deeply disappointed once again.

He never got to see his parents believe in him, even at the last moment.

Crack.

With a flick of his hand, Aksen snapped their necks.

He looked down indifferently at their lifeless bodies.

‘Even people like you aren’t my parents.’

Parents like that are better off disappearing from the world.

Aksen had never once regretted killing his parents.

Olivia.

He had killed Olivia with his own hands too, but he had never thought about her again.

As he lifted his head, Olivia’s voice suddenly brushed past his ears.

“Was I… truly nothing to Your Majesty?”

“……”

“This is my final wish.”

“Please… stay with me until the end. Hold me in your arms.”

That pitiful gaze and voice.

Had she really harbored such longing for him back then?

Aksen furrowed his brows briefly, but soon banished all thoughts of Olivia from his mind.

“I’m not after something like love.”

“……”

“Now, accept my power and be reborn as a strong Empress, Louise.”

Aksen smiled, as if he had finally obtained the dream he had longed for.

Though Olivia had failed, he was certain that Louise would accept his power and become strong.

There was something different, something special about her that set her apart from others.

He had known it from the moment he first saw her.

To Alec, she was far too good, and it was beside him that Louise truly belonged.

But Louise glared at him fiercely.

“Get lost. Don’t even dream of it.”

Aksen let out a short laugh and bound her again.

She couldn’t move a single finger.

How long had he yearned for a woman as perfect as her?

Although he was already a flawless, extraordinary being on his own, with a woman like Louise as his Empress, he would achieve a completely impeccable imperial family.

A couple far more perfect and powerful than the incompetent previous emperor and empress, or even his own parents.

Their child would want for nothing in this world.

Just imagining it filled Aksen with exhilaration.

“Doesn’t it excite you? You’ll become the strongest woman in our empire. You’ll be reborn as an extraordinary being, just like me.”

Louise struggled to break free from his restraints.

But it was all in vain.

She opened her mouth to scream, but it was futile.

No one could escape his magic.

“Olivia may have failed, but you, Louise, will succeed.”

Aksen raised his hand.

Power intended for Louise began to gather in his palm.

“…!”

Louise shouted something filled with contempt, but no sound escaped her lips.

“I’ll even let you forget all your past memories. You’ll be completely reborn, obedient only as my Empress. You’ll leave someone like Alec behind.”

A faint smile played on Aksen’s lips.

Louise, perfect and beautiful, and now sharing in his power.

The thought of her becoming his forever filled him with euphoria.

But just as Aksen began to transfer his power to her, his eyes widened slightly.

Her gaze, filled with resentment, fury, and contempt, silenced him momentarily. It swirled like a storm in her eyes.

In that instant, his grip on the bindings weakened.

Was this the version of Louise he had truly desired?

She glared at him with such intensity it was as if she wanted to tear him apart.

“…Don’t you dare insult my husband.”

“……”

“He’s a far purer person than you could ever hope to be.”

“……”

“Alec… doesn’t torment the innocent for no reason, doesn’t steal others’ wealth and titles at will, and he certainly doesn’t kidnap another man’s wife because he has power.”

“……”

“Someone as vile as you will never have me.”

“……”

Aksen’s heart felt as though it had shattered, with cracks spreading in every direction like ice breaking apart.

Suddenly, he recalled a moment from the past: the sight of Louise smiling gently at Alec.

In front of her, Alec couldn’t even meet her gaze, his head bowed.

Aksen had watched that scene from high above, countless times.

Had he been wishing for her to look at him with those same eyes?

It was as though someone had held up a mirror, forcing him to confront his own heart, and Aksen clenched his teeth slightly.

Louise was the most perfect, the most compassionate woman he had ever known.

And yet, for the first time, it dawned on him that he might not be able to have her after all.

In the end, he would be alone in this world.
