I reincarnated as the villainess, Eliana Mussieux, who was killed by the scheming Emperor.
Rather than do nothing and die according to the novel, I planned a path to survival by seeking him out.

“Don’t go.”
Verkley grabbed Eliana’s collar. His gaze was entirely focused on her. Then, he whispered imploringly once more.
“You tamed me, Lili. You have to take responsibility.”
He bound her hands so she wouldn’t move. Before she knew it, Verkley’s lips touched Eliana’s fingertips.
From her fingertips to the back of her hand, his lips trailed kisses as if he were leaving a trace.
His eyes were fixed on Eliana the entire time.
With an unreadable expression, he pulled Eliana’s arm.
And closed the distance between them.
Then growled low with an insidious smile.
“If you go, I’ll kill that bastard.”
