But there are people. Most of them are nobles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\" Julius raised an eyebrow. \"No commoners?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are some,\" the other girl answered, \"but not many. Only a few.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\" Julius stroked his chin, thinking. \"You may go now. Make sure everything runs smoothly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two girls bowed, pulled back the curtain, and stepped out onto the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius turned and walked out from behind the curtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina was standing alone in the narrow hallway, her face twisted in a deep frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips moved silently, she was clearly arguing with herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\" Julius made a soft sound as he walked closer. \"Who are you talking to, babe?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina’s frown softened the second she heard his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She waved her hand in the air like she was shooing away an invisible bug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing,\" she said quickly. \"What about you? Are all the preparations done?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius gave a small nod. He pulled the booklet from his pocket, flipped it open, and skimmed the page in two seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here.\" He held it out so she could see. \"What you need to do is... nothing. Just be your normal self.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina stared at the short paragraph he’d written. She stroked her own chin now, copying him without realizing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm? Do I only need to say this much?\" Her eyebrows pulled together. \"Isn’t it way too short for a speech?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius chuckled, low and amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is short. But that’s the point. You don’t need to beg them to vote for you. You don’t need to tell them how much you need their support.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned in a little closer. A sharp, certain glint flashed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just need to make them realize they need you. For survival.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius closed the booklet with a soft snap and tucked it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leave the showing part to me,\" he said quietly. \"They’ll understand when the time comes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina looked at him for a long moment. Then the corner of her mouth lifted, just a tiny, confident smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though I can’t fully believe you,\" she said, \"I can at least believe your plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius let out a soft laugh and bowed just a little, playful, but respectful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, that’s enough for me, my lady. Your attendant will make sure not to disappoint your highness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina let out a cute little snort. It was her signature \"I’m not impressed but I’m secretly pleased\" sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She started walking toward the stage curtain with her head held high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius followed right behind her like the perfect, loyal aide, close enough to protect, far enough to look professional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they walked, Rosalina’s tone softened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way...\" she said quietly, \"how is Rosel doing? It’s been a while since I last met her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fond, almost dreamy smile appeared on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosel was that bright little sunbeam of a girl, always full of energy, always asking a million questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever Rosalina felt stressed or the world felt too heavy, one \"mommy!\" from Rosel and all her worries melted away like snow in summer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius’s expression turned gentle too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s doing fine, I guess. But she always whines about wanting to meet you and stay with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then made an exaggerated sad face. \"I told her you won’t invite her papa to your house... regrettable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed dramatically, like it was the greatest tragedy in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina didn’t answer right away. She kept walking, but inside her heart did a little flip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted them to visit her mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, if she could have her way, she wouldn’t even let Julius live separately anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d keep both of them close, safe, hers. But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nickel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name alone made her stomach tighten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was her first and biggest problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every once in a while he would show up unannounced, always polite, always smiling, always digging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And whenever he came, Julius’s name slipped into the conversation like poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a week ago he’d visited again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister,\" he’d said in that calm, too-knowing voice, \"do you know who the child is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How would I know?\" she’d snapped back, irritated. Every time he mentioned Julius, or anything connected to him, she had to be extra careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One wrong word and everything could collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the last month, Nickel’s visits had gotten worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face always looked worried now. Tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And no matter what they talked about, he found a way to circle back to Julius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was annoying. Unsettling. Like he already knew too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina pushed the thought away as they reached the edge of the curtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The announcer’s voice rang out clear and strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ladies and gentlemen... please welcome—Rosalina Valentina!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina stepped through the curtain without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment her foot hit the stage, the crowd exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rosalina! Rosalina! Rosalina!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cheers rolled like thunder, mostly nobles, so it sounded sharp and proud, not wild. But it was loud. Very loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius stayed hidden behind the curtain, peeking through a small gap. A tiny smile tugged at his lips as he watched her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina lifted one hand in a graceful wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked straight to the microphone stand, heels clicking confidently on the wooden boards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave the mic four light taps, then cleared her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd cheered even louder, like the simple sound proved she was already in charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina waited until the noise died down just enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, everyone,\" she began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was calm, smooth, and carried perfectly. But her face, oh, her face screamed arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chin high, eyes half-lidded, lips curved in the tiniest superior smirk. It said one thing clearly: *You are all beneath me.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t make promises like ’everyone is equal’ or anything foolish like that,\" she continued. \"Because everyone is different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, letting the words sink in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some are inferior. Some are superior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nobles in the crowd nodded slowly. Many of them smiled small, satisfied smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had always believed exactly that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t promise you the moon,\" Rosalina said. She raised one elegant finger. Her eyes suddenly flashed with fierce light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I promise you only one thing: I will always fight against the Zlycons. And I will lead humanity to victory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd lost it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive roar crashed over the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ROSALINA! ROSALINA! ROSALINA! ROSALINA!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fists pumped. Hats flew. Even the few commoners in the back looked stunned and excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina’s expression stayed cool and unchanging... but for a tiny second, she glanced back toward the curtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius caught her eye. He gave her a quick wink and a thumbs-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go on, babe. You’re doing very well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina let out a soft breath only she could hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haa...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned back to the crowd. This time her voice dropped lower, more commanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I—Rosalina Valentina—am superior to you all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1186,"2026-06-10T05:56:21.839Z",1,"novelbin.me","b6c41f13b9c33385b2a7e107d1688a4fb97f6a6298291f3bf16bbb4e05ff510e","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-47","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-45",220,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fvillainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-cover.jpg"]
