Villainess X Villain: They are obsessed with each other!-Chapter 35 -: 34 Prince Sebastian Evander!

Far from the grand Holy Empire, in the peaceful neutral city of Agarta, a sleek black carriage rolled smoothly along the wide stone road near the Royal Arcane Academy.

The city was lively even in the morning.

Merchants opened their shops, students walked in groups, and guards stood near the streets keeping watch.

Tall buildings made of white stone stood proudly on both sides of the road, and colorful banners hung from their walls.

At the center of the city, the Royal Arcane Academy stood like a giant castle of knowledge.

Its tall towers reached toward the sky, and its blue crystal windows shone brightly under the sunlight.

Julius’s carriage moved calmly through the streets, its wheels making a soft sound against the road.

The horses pulling it were strong and well trained, their steps steady and controlled.

People on the street glanced at the carriage as it passed.

Inside the carriage, the air was warm and comfortable.

"My lord, we’ll reach the academy in about ten minutes," Alfred called from the driver’s seat, his voice calm and steady.

"Got it!" Julius replied cheerfully.

He relaxed on the soft, velvety seat, a big smile spreading across his face.

He leaned back and started talking to himself, or maybe to someone invisible sitting next to him.

"First Prince Sebastian Evander..." Julius said with a grin.

"Who’s that, you ask? Easy! He’s the oldest son of the emperor, the First Prince of the Holy Empire."

He chuckled like he was sharing a fun secret.

"Welcome to the continent of Alaskar! Out of the three floating continents in the world, this one is the smallest. Think of it like China in size, pretty big, but not the biggest."

Outside the window, the buildings slowly passed by as the carriage moved closer to the academy.

Julius kept chatting happily.

"Alaskar has lots of small kingdoms... and one giant empire that takes up most of the space. That empire? The Holy Empire. It controls about 70% of the whole continent!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

He waved his hand like he was painting a map in the air.

"And this city, Agarta? It’s super special. It’s neutral ground. No fighting allowed here!"

He pointed toward the academy towers outside the window.

"There’s an old treaty between all three continents that says Agarta stays peaceful forever."

"Why? So the Royal Arcane Academy can train the next generation of heroes to fight the scary Zlycons."

Julius leaned forward, eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Now, the Holy Empire sounds very holy, right? And it is! Almost every single person, 99%, follows the Church."

"The Church is super powerful. The royal family rules the country, but they can’t do anything big without the Church saying ’yes’ first."

He leaned back again, still smiling like he knew something exciting was about to happen.

"So yeah... two bosses run the show: the Church and the royal family."

They were peaceful now. At least on the surface, things looked calm. But Julius knew that peace would not last long.

There was always one scheming mother fucker behind the curtain.

And that was Prince Sebastian.

In TST, this was around the time he began his plans. Later, he would gain the support of that trash by marrying his own sister to him.

Julius clicked his tongue.

"Damn... I can’t even count how many girls that guy had in his harem. It was like collecting Pokemon."

"If I’m being honest, even Ash had fewer Pokemon than the girls in that trash’s harem."

Julius muttered with a deep frown.

Yet in the end, the new Cardinal would also fall for that trash.

With her help, he would solve every problem and become the hero of Benigore.

"My lord, we are here," Alfred said as the carriage came to a stop. He stepped down and opened the door.

"Haa..." Julius let out a quiet sigh as he stepped out of the carriage.

"Alfred, you can return. Rosel must be waiting."

"Yes, my lord," Alfred replied.

Julius had left Rosel at the mansion today. At first it was very hard to convince her to stay.

She had even started begging, her little hands grabbing his pant leg like it was a lifeline.

"Pwease, Papa! I wanna go with youuu!" Rosel whined, bouncing on her toes.

"Mommy is there too! Yesterday she said I can meet her anytime I want!"

Her big pink eyes blinked super fast, shooting out sparkles like she was a living anime character.

Julius’s brain instantly went ding-ding-ding!

He completely forgot about Rosel’s attacks.

"Wait—hold on, hold on!" he said, crouching down so fast he almost lost balance.

"She really told you that? Rose said you can meet her anytime?"

Rosel nodded so hard her pink hair flopped around like cotton candy.

"Uh-huh! She said so herself!"

Julius grinned like he’d just been handed the keys to a candy kingdom.

He casually swatted away her continuous attacks like they were mosquitoes at a picnic.

"Alright, alright! You win, little monster," he said, laughing.

"You can come. But not right this second.

I’ll send Alfred back.

When he shows up, you hop in the carriage with him, okay?"

Rosel froze mid-attack. Her cheeks puffed out like a chipmunk.

She stared at him for a long second, thinking super hard.

Then she tried one more sneaky attack.

Julius blocked it without even looking.

She clicked her tongue dramatically.

"Tsk... fineeee."

She crossed her arms and turned her head away with the biggest fake pout ever.

But her lips twitched upward.

She was totally thrilled and bad at hiding it.

Julius ruffled her hair until it looked like a fluffy pink cloud.

"That’s my girl. Be good to Alfred, alright?

Papa’s gotta go make Mommy’s heart go boom-boom today."

Rosel peeked up at him through her fingers, eyes sparkling brighter than before.

"Bring Mommy home soon, okay? Promise!"

Julius gave her a big thumbs-up and a wink.

"Operation ’Turn Ice Queen into Warm Mommy’ is officially in progress.

I got this."

"Haaa..." he sighed again to break off his thoughts then he started to walk towards the gate.

And as he walked his mind drifted back to his earlier thoughts.

"So, where were we again? Ahh right, after that, the trash had united both the Church and the Empire. That gave him great power when he later stood against Julius and Rose."

Julius stepped into the academy grounds. His eyes moved across the large academy buildings stretching far into the distance.

He walked to the side where a blue transportation gate stood.

Stopping in front of it, he raised his hand and channeled his mana. The gate shimmered as ripples spread across its surface.

He stepped forward.

In the next moment, he appeared inside the academy’s main building.

Julius narrowed his eyes slightly.

But this time will be different.

"This time, I will break every scheme of Sebastian Evander..."

"And that trash will never become the hero."
