Toxic Obsession: Massimo Maxence (Emperor Series, #2) ✔️

Chapter 10

Chapter 10

"ARE YOU stupid?" Macsen called out.

Massimo stopped drinking and glared daggers at his brother.

"You are," he replied. "Fuck you."

"Getting drunk. For what? For a woman? Or for getting punished?" Macsen mocked, "I doubt it's because of your punishment. It don't matter to you anymore, you're the mighty Massimo anyway. So probably, a woman? I thought you don't give a fuck about women. Why are you sulking like a lost puppy?"

"I am not!" Massimo growled and drank another bottle of wine, "Fuck you! All of you. Trying to take me down, huh?"

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

Massimo smirked, "Fine. You are the good son and I am the sole pariah."

"Were you mocked by the elders again?" Macsen sighed, "That's because you're short tempered. Just listen to them. Don't be rebelious at times like this."

"Says the one who almost left the family for disobeying. Look at yourself, you were almost banished for picking stupid books." Massimo shot back.

Maxence glared, "That's enough. Go back to your empire."

Massimo stood up, "My punishment is done. I'll definitely go back because I can never stand you demons here!"

He swayed backward as his suit was stained with blood. Since he was called into the main Empire, Massimo has received a hundred whippings everyday. He was given the order to conquer their rival empire, but regrettably, he did not accomplish so all at once, disappointing the Vassilys, especially the elders. In order to maintain his position as the leading Emperor and leading Empire in the west, he must invade and subdue his rival empire. He is still working to dominate the western Algrandre Empire.

In actuality, he is stressed out by it. No one in the west compares to him, therefore even if his rival Empire prospers, he will still be the best. How the Vassilys established this kind of bar is depressing. Of course, the north is ruled by Maximus' empire, like Macsen down south.

Even though Magnus is acting rebelliously, his dominion is steadily gaining control of the east. Massimo's empire is still raging and reigning as well. He will continue to be the prevailing Emperor no matter how many empires form.

But that's not what it is for the Vassilys. The individuals who are attempting to compete with them must be eliminated. They shall only have the spot and whomever tries to steal it will be conquered. Currently, the Algrande empire is gaining ground on all other western empires. The elder Vassilys, especially the Grand Emperor, were not pleased to learn that Algrande is attempting to conquer the western land.

So they gave him the go-ahead to act. He was charged with ruling the Algrande empire, which he accomplished. Although he chose not to take part in the battle, his forces prevailed and captured half of the empire. Additionally, they captured the Algrande-invaded empires.

That, however, was insufficient for the senior Vassilys. They desire a complete invasion, complete dominion, and absolute takeover. The elders of the major empire, however, were not pleased with the fact that half of the Algrande was still developing.

Massimo's next action is to seize total authority over and rule over the entire Algrande. He will take part in the upcoming great conflict in the west because it will take place very soon.

He was penalized as a result of his error. Vassily's punishment is to beat someone one hundred times until they recognize and own their mistakes. Massimo was then given a punishment and spanked in the dungeon. He and Magnus are different in that Magnus hurts himself while the elders lashes him to death for a single error.

"Fuck you all!" He cursed out, intending to let Macsen hear it, "Fine, you are the perfect son!"
 
Macsen gritted his teeth, "Shut your mouth. You are really stupid. Your wounds are fresh, why drink?"
 
Massimo's face fell in shambles, "I've been doing this since I was a kid. This always happen, how could I not get used to it? It's my way of easing my problem, idiot. By slowly killing myself."

"Yeah, you probably don't know what you're talking right now. You're obviously not in your mind and totally not aware of your actions," Macsen said. "Take him to his empire," he commanded Massimo's men and they immediately followed.

They moved from the North empire to the West that night. When they arrived at the palace, Emperor Massimo asked to be taken directly to the pavilion for the palace servants. Although his men were plainly perplexed, they were unable to contest the Emperor's assertions, so they led him there. They were surprised to learn that everything they saw there would only be preserved for their own eyes.

Massimo, the emperor, swayed in the direction of the door's attendant. Massimo couldn't help but smile and say, "Baby," as he noticed how perplexed she appeared.

He finally showed up and greeted her. Another fact is that he began beating himself until he ran out of strength when the elders finished beating him and left him in the dark dungeon. He seems to have lost control of himself because he has no idea what is going through his mind at the moment. He felt so horrible after realizing what he had done to his lovely servant that he administered the punishment himself.

Even if she may not be aware of it and not everyone may find it meaningful, he at least felt contrite. He felt horrible yanking her over out of annoyance, even though he couldn't say it and would never be able to accept it. He will never be able to justify it with jealousy.

No, he can never accept that he just got jealous. Because he will never fall in love, especially with someone as despicable as her. She just basically gets under his skin and unintentionally offends his pride, which irritates him. She needs to be aware of her boundaries and submit to him alone because he alone is her emperor.

She should follow his instructions when he commands her to. And if he commands her to remain motionless, she must. Everyone, especially her, must obey him without fail.

He swore at himself, "Fuck," for having thought of so many things. Why the hell is losing his mind?

He almost fell swaying when he remembered his words to Magnus before, "I'm not weak and I don't need a woman to make me lose my sanity. They're not worth my time."

Exactly what was that? What the hell is this, too? He had no idea what he was doing; the only sensation he had was the warmth of the person inside his embrace. It is pleasant, fulfilling, and satisfying.

No, he can't fall. Although he may be twisted, his words cannot be changed. Never will he resemble his brother. He made that vow. He said it, he won't fall for anyone especially for a lowly servant.

Fuck, but why in the world is this angel trying to break his words? What an absolute tease.
