I'm the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire! Chapter 88

This is a story which happened immediately after Linus placed economic sanctions upon Liam.

Eulisia lived in the luxury hotel situated in the Capital.

Inside the hotel, she was sitting in front of an information terminal with only her underwear on.

At the terminal, an unbelievable amount of messages were being flooded in by her colleagues and seniors who were serving as secretaries in the army.

“How do you feel about the Count being sanctioned soon after you became his mistress!?”

“You were on the winning side, but you fell to the losing side so quickly.”

“It's as if senior's the Goddess of Misfortune!”

It was morning, but Eulisia was already getting angry.

Every news site in the Capital had written articles about the economic sanctions placed on the Banfield's.

A mysterious individual who claimed to be in the know had said that the sanctions were placed to punish Liam for not swearing allegiance to His Highness Linus.

It was mostly true, and it probably reflected the thoughts and opinions of those that were on Linus's side.

“These guys are saying whatever they want.”

Eulisia was being fanned on by the others right now, but she wasn't completely innocent either.

Previously, Eulisia had also perpetrated the act of taunting her seniors and juniors.

[I became the secretary of a Count who's young, powerful, rich, and handsome. That's why I'll be retiring from the army! Adieu, everyone!]

—Or so she had boasted.

“As if you guys haven't experienced any failures! Unforgivable. With the skills I learned as a member of the Intelligence Unit, it would be a piece of cake to hack into your accounts!”

With the techniques that she had learned from the military, Eulisia hijacked into the accounts of her seniors and juniors before proceeding to extract their private information.

“Hmph. Designer bags? Lunch at famous restaurants? They borrowed money for those. As for the rest, they're simply leeching off of men that are only somewhat successful. I'm at a much better position! Not only do I get to sleep in this luxury hotel every day, I get to have as many designer bags as I want!”

Someone entered her room as Eulisia was doing such meaningless things with her high-end hacking skills.

—It was Rosetta.

“—Eulisisan, can I ask you to explain what you're doing?”

Eulisia's shoulders shook when she heard Rosetta's voice.

“Rosetta—sama.”

Rosetta was Liam's fiancée and his future wife.

As such, she was in a higher position than Eulisia.

Although Rosetta didn't find Liam's admittance of Eulisia interesting, she hadn't actively tried to kick the latter out either.

However, Eulisia's performance as of late was simply unbearable.

“It's already well past ten o'clock. How long do you intend to be dressed like that?”

Eulisia was still in her undergarments and hadn't fixed her bedhead.

“I-it's because yesterday night—”

“I know. You seem to have enjoyed yourself at a fancy restaurant.”

Liam was the one paying for the bills, but Rosetta had access to the information of how much money was flowing out.

“It isn't like that! That restaurant is so popular in the Capital that I had some difficulties making a reservation!”

She had somehow managed to reserve a seat, but it happened to be very late at night.

Eulisia had uploaded images of her enjoying various delicacies and drinks on SNS.

She wanted to show her former colleagues how she was living.

—All so that she could brag.

Rosetta knew this as well.

“Your reputation among your former colleagues doesn't appear to be good. I'll have you know that I won't allow you to do anything that would tarnish Darling's name.”

“Please listen to me first! Everyone's doing this! Do you want me to show you the SNS of some of my former colleagues who managed to safely enter the concubine route!? They always boast as if they're superior to others!”

Rosetta snorted.

“That's not of my concern. Oh, and you're Darling's military secretary. You've yet to become his concubine.”

“—EH!?”

Rosetta continued, slightly flustered.

“Darling said he's not ready to welcome a concubine yet. That's why you aren't officially considered his concubine. Also, please don't forget why you're actually here. You're supposed to act as the pipeline connecting Darling with the Empire's military, correct? Are you performing your duties properly?”

Eulisia was assigned to stay besides Liam to act as a bridge between him and the military.

It was her responsibility to keep in touch and discuss matters with officials of the Imperial Army.

However, she hadn't contacted any of them for some time because she was busy playing around.

Eulisia directed her gaze away from Rosetta's eyes.

Having received the answer to her question, Rosetta turned to Eulisia and smiled.

“I heard you were once an elite in the special task force, but there must have been a mistake in the evaluation. Darling will be busy for a while. In the meantime, please go and have yourself re-educated.”

“Eh!?”

Thereafter, Eulisia was sent to one of the military's re-education facilities, and Liam did not notice her absence until her eventual return.

In other words, she was forgotten by Liam.
