In this follow-up to the hit isekai, a villain continues to find her power—and develop her sadism—even as she’s haunted by her ex-love.

Seventeen years after her rebirth into a magical medieval world, Everly Vae Balsar, the Empress, has made it. With her exceptionally potent earth magic and powers of spiritual manipulation, she stands poised to conquer a kingdom that lives in fear of her and her dangerous servants: Carter the goblin assassin, the marauding General Grail, and her elementals, the sadistic Eris and ditzy Titania. She’s a villain and proud of it.

Well, she’s not a fan of cannibalistic monsters. Villainy is her domain, not the presumptuous Mister Whisper’s. But at the moment, Everly is experiencing something she’s never felt before: genuine regret over killing someone. Specifically, her mage maybe-love Fenneth.
