DEHH 23

Summary

“Empress, you must bring in a consort to bear an heir.” It was what my ex-husband said to Reneb, too weak to recover from a miscarriage. Ten years since being possessed by a villainess, despite my efforts to improve relations, the villainess’s fate remained unchanged. And Reneb, returned from death, volunteers as a pawn for peace between empires to avoid dying again. But the warmongering, mu*derous emperor of the enemy nation… “You seem very cold.” “If you need warmth, I can share.” Unexpectedly attentive, “Do I need to carry you out of the carriage?” and unexpectedly tender, “Is it hard to sleep alone? Perhaps you missed being in my arms.” he was annoyingly sly!
