Cecilia appeared normal at first glance. However, her eyes were so chillingly sinister up close that it was instantly clear she was far from normal.

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Dungeon Waiter’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[Gasp, did she make a deal with a demon? Does this mean we’re entering a dungeon?]

Provoking a demon contractor carelessly is not advisable because they can create dungeons without warning.

Cecilia picked up the wooden doll that had approached her feet. I pretended not to see the doll and spoke to her. “What brings you here?”

“What do you mean? I came all the way here to greet you because I saw you.”

“Is that so? I appreciate the thought of coming to find me, but His Majesty will be here soon. Let’s greet each other later.” I deliberately mentioned His Majesty because his eyes can see through to the essence, so he would instantly know if Cecilia had made a deal with a demon. Thus, if Cecilia didn’t want to be exposed as a demon contractor, she had to avoid the emperor.

“You’re lucky, Senior. No matter how hard I try, I’ve never had the chance to spend time alone with His Majesty.”

“…”

“How does it feel? Having a dependable father, getting along with siblings, everyone liking you. Even His Majesty…” Cecilia’s laughter, which sounded deranged, grew more intense. “Some risk their lives roaming dungeons, while others get lucky and receive all sorts of opportunities. It’s truly unfair.”

I created magic behind my dress, out of sight. Although the banquet hall was a magic-controlled space, it did not apply to me. I noticed courtiers whispering about my magic creation.

“We’re both ladies, aren’t we? But only you get treated this way. Don’t you think it’s unfair?”

“What do you want from me?”

“What do I want?”

Cecilia grabbed my arm as if to break it, with a face like a demon’s.

“

…!”

“I’m miserable, so you should be too.”

People’s gazes began to gather here. Are they fighting? What’s happening? They looked puzzled. Meanwhile, imperial magicians seemed to have noticed something and were making their way through the crowd towards us.

But the situation was ruined when Duke Kapento panicked and rushed over. “Cecilia, you insane thing! Won’t you come here this instant!”

Duke Kapento’s overreaction made sense. The emperor had specifically chosen to spend time with me, and I hadn’t been given permission to leave. Even Raul and Roseanne couldn’t casually interrupt without a legitimate reason. Now, a lady without a title was interfering with the emperor’s plans, putting Duke Kapento in a position to scold her.

Cecilia’s eyes turned red upon seeing Duke Kapento, causing him to halt.

Cecilia trembled with hatred as she looked at Duke Kapento, reacting as if seeing a monster. “How can my father be such a person!”

Ding!

[A demon dungeon is created.]

“Theresa!”

My family and Damian were seen running towards me. I created a barrier according to the dungeon’s activation protocol to prevent them from approaching. Now that it had come to this, I had no choice but to enter the dungeon.

However, based on Cecilia’s previous comments, I could guess what kind of dungeon this would be. Though there might be slight variations, the dungeon had never been completely new, so I likely knew how to navigate it.

If that’s the case, it would be much easier for me to enter the dungeon alone. But my plan was thwarted by Euges’s voice from behind.

“Do the young ones these days solve their grievances by making deals with demons? The end times indeed.”

I turned to him in shock. “Why are you here, Your Majesty? I’ll dissolve the barrier, so please leave immediately!”

The dungeon gate was opening right before us, and I hadn’t noticed the atmosphere in the banquet hall, where everyone was frantically calling for Euges. Amidst the chaos, with everyone trying to save the emperor, Euges remained calm.

“It’s too late.”

The dungeon gate swung open wide before he finished speaking. We were sucked in without a chance to resist.

I slowly woke up to the sound of a piano with completely disconnected scales. When I opened my eyes, it was in the backyard of a mansion.

I wasn’t alone. In front of me, Euges was there, eyes closed, seemingly still unconscious. Unlike just before we entered the dungeon, I was wearing a white dress, and Euges was in a white tuxedo. So this is… wedding attire?

As I was blankly trying to grasp the situation, a quest appeared.

Ding!

[Dungeon Quest: Taming the Tyrant.]

▸

Reward: 50,000,000 coins, return to the banquet hall

▸

Failure: Death

As soon as I saw the quest name, I was jolted awake and felt dizzy. I felt like I wanted to poke my own eyes out.

This dungeon, with its parenting concept, had varying levels of difficulty depending on which male protagonist entered with you. The worst of them all was definitely Euges. Why, you ask?

[I’m looking forward to it?! Huh? Really, I’m going to expect something?!]

While the sponsor notifications and the sound of piano keys being struck created the worst dissonance, Euges opened his eyes.

“…”

“…”

We stared at each other, closer than when we danced. Just as a strange tension began to build, a child’s clear voice was heard.

“

Groom and Bride, please enter!”

There was also the laughter of unfamiliar people. Euges and I simultaneously looked at the child.

Sky blue hair and golden eyes. It was Cecilia, now five years old. For the sake of the wedding play, Cecilia banged on the white grand piano she had taken out through sponsorship and raised her voice again.

“

Groom and Bride, please enter!”

Euges furrowed his brow. “Could it be calling me a—”

I hastily cut him off.

“

Cecilia is calling, Honey. Shall we enter?”

“

Honey?”

“

Yes, Honey. The servants over there are waiting to scatter flower petals.”

Euges glanced at Cecilia, me, and the surrounding servants.

“

… was today our wedding day?”

I wanted to slap that cheeky mouth of his when he asked me slyly with a face that clearly understood the situation.  However, perhaps still in a good mood from the banquet hall, Euges’s mischief stopped there.

“

Shall we go, Wife?” He willingly participated in Cecilia’s pretend wedding.

Ding!

[Constellation ‘Quiet Spectator’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[This must be what the astrologer at the magic farm was talking about when they said you were getting married soon.]

As we approached the piano, the servants standing on either side scattered petals. Everyone smiled brightly and enjoyed themselves. It was truly a picture-perfect scene.

When we got close, Cecilia climbed onto the piano bench and spread her arms wide.

“

Exchange rings!”

A servant who had been holding a cushion with rings stepped forward.

I extended my left hand, bare of any rings. Entering the dungeon had removed the ruby ring Ozworld had arbitrarily placed on me, which I was pleased about.

Euges placed a ring with a large sapphire on my left ring finger. I also took a ring and placed it on his hand. Since this part was mandatory at the start of the dungeon episode, it went smoothly without any issues. The problem was what came next.

“

Now the groom kisses the bride~!”

At this point, depending on the male protagonist’s likeability level, the kiss would land on different parts. The highest score was for the lips. And no kiss occurred if it was a negative score. Euges, in his black heart state, would never kiss the player.

[The Constellations have checked the characteristics of the ‘Taming the Tyrant’ dungeon.]

Euges sneered at the mention of a kiss and made no move. So, before anyone could notice I’d been refused, I kissed the back of Euges’s hand. The key to this dungeon was fulfilling the desire of ‘Cecilia, the only daughter loved by harmonious parents.’

“

…?”

Cecilia looked confused, not expecting this outcome.

“

B-But the groom is supposed to kiss the bride…”

I slowly lifted my lips from Euges’s hand and picked up Cecilia.

“

But Mommy wants to kiss too.” Then I kissed Cecilia’s cheek.

“

!

! Mommy has turned into a kissing monster!”

The servants, who had been watching with expressionless faces, burst into laughter.

“

Oh my, how romantic!”

Ding!

As expected, it seemed I could get a good evaluation as long as I satisfied Cecilia’s desires.
