We finished all the arrangements. After confirming that the surviving children safely returned, we set out on the road to the palace.
During the journey, Raven woke up once but fainted again, screaming upon seeing Clint, who happened to be on guard. Perhaps from extreme fatigue, she didn’t wake up for quite a while after that.
Jaerim seemed fine, but when alone, he took out the arrived letter and read it over and over, sighing heavily. He must have been very worried about Iana.
‘Was Karayan like that too?’
Looking at Jaerim, Karayan comes to mind. When I first got married, did my brother, Karayan, worry about me like that?
“……If so, I must be a naughty younger sibling who worried my brother.”
I should apologize to Karayan when I see him.
I composed myself and approached behind Jaerim, who was sighing.
“Iana will be fine.”
“……Your Majesty.”
“When we get back, I’ll be there too. We are going fast, so we’ll be back soon.”
“……I’m not worried about Iana. It must just be a cold or an upset stomach…….”
Jaerim, seemingly embarrassed, folded the letter he was holding and put it back in his pocket.
“Iana was originally quite delicate, you see. ……I just…… thought that it’s not more than a minor cold that made her feel worse.”
Is that not worry? I wanted to ask what the difference was, but he seemed reluctant to appear worried as a brother, so I just quietly nodded.
“……Your Majesty.”
“Yes?”
“When we get back…….”
Jaerim unusually hesitated. I tilted my head and waited for him to continue, then finally asked,
“What is it?”
“……When we get back, could you visit Iana?”
Jaerim’s ears turned red. He had said he wasn’t worried about his sister, yet…
“Um…… I am really sorry to ask this favor from Your Majesty. It’s not that I want you to do anything special. Just…… Your Majesty, just being around you somehow feels healing…… I think it would make Iana feel better too. If I have been rude, I am really sorry.”
“No.”
I smiled and gladly nodded.
“I should go, of course. Iana is the organizer of a gathering I frequently attend, so I should naturally pay her a visit.”
“……Thank you.”
Jaerim, seemingly shy, quickly turned away after bowing. He quickly left his spot, then seemed to realize something and mumbled,
“……Can you keep this request a secret from others? Especially from Iana.”
“Got it.”
“Thank you.”
After hearing my confirmation, Jaerim went away. I watched his retreating figure and smiled softly.
“……He’s subtly quite cute.”
He was as rigid as a real rock at first. But nowadays, perhaps because I am the empress…… he feels like a babbling rock, which is cute.
Watching Jaerim’s retreating figure with my arms folded, I suddenly heard someone’s footsteps from behind.
“Your Majesty.”
Startled, I turned my head and found Levanfell watching Jaerim’s back just like me. Unlike me, he was glaring at Jaerim as if he would burn him with his eyes.
“Saying such things will only make Jaerim’s life more difficult. It seems that Your Majesty is still not fully aware.”
At Levanfell’s gentle voice, I merely blinked in surprise. Not knowing what to say, I just gaped, and Levanfell steered the conversation.
“What were you doing?”
“Ah.”
My mind finally thawed.
“Seeing Jaerim worried about his sister, I……”
“Jaerim?”
Levanfell’s face froze, still smiling. He made a small noise of disapproval and turned his head to look where Jaerim had disappeared.
“……Jaerim is indeed the problem.”
“No, it’s not that. Watching Jaerim worry about his sister made me think of my brother, Karayan.”
“Ah.”
“Has Karayan been quiet these days? He always reports to Levanfell about Geneva.”
“There’s been no word. There has been no report for a week before we set out, but it should be there when we return to the palace.”
As long as nothing happened, that was good. In a world that was falling apart, all that mattered was that we were safe.
Levanfell naturally led me to take a walk, and I followed him.
“Goodlooking siblings.”
“We’re not the only goodlooking siblings. Jaelim worries about his younger sibling too. …Levanfell? Levanfell would take good care of a younger sibling too, I think.”
“Me?”
Levanfell smirked, then giggled. His smile, tinged with madness, was creepy.
“I had a younger sibling too.”
“Huh? You had a younger sibling?”
“Of course. An older brother, older sister, younger sibling too.”
When the offroad trail appeared, Levanfell stopped talking and naturally reached out his hand to me. As our hands touched, he continued speaking with a smile.
“But I killed them all.”
“What? Ahh!”
Startled, I looked back at him and almost tripped over my ankle. Levanfell quickly caught my waist and supported me.
“Are you alright?”
A brisk wind blew. I clung to his arm and tightly grabbed his sleeve.
It was the first time I heard Levanfell talk about himself directly. My heart trembled.
“Was it that shocking that I killed my siblings?”
“….”
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?

Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
