A Different Husband Every Night (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 6
The king looked quite flustered, unsure of what mood he should match.
Due to the thoroughly frozen atmosphere, even my older siblings kept glancing around nervously.
“Actually, a few weeks isn’t such a long journey, is it? The princess took three months to arrive, after all.”
When they mentioned me, my whole family stiffened and flinched in unison.
“But it seems the Lupeon Kingdom has many skilled craftsmen. To make wheels from rotten wood that can last three whole months of travel!”
“Y-Your Majesty…”
“It’s praise—feel free to be pleased.”
“Y-Yes. Th-thank you….”
“If the opportunity arises, I’d like you to share that technological prowess with the Empire. Those carriages looked like they’d lose their wheels and tumble off a cliff at any moment—yet they kept moving.”
“Th-that is…”
“Unless the Kingdom was trying to boast their technical skill? Sending the princess to the Empire in such a carriage suggests as much.”
The longer Levanfel spoke, the paler the king’s face became.
“I’m just asking out of curiosity.”
“Y-Your M-Majesty…”
“It wasn’t to show off your technology—but you actually sent her in a carriage with wheels so decayed they’d fall off at any second!”
“Hic!”
“…You didn’t really send the princess like that, did you?”
The king finally seemed to understand why Levanfel had been fabricating absurd arguments and acting outrageously, squeezing his eyes shut tightly.
“Oh dear. My joke went too far again. Surely the Kingdom wouldn’t have sent the princess without verifying such things.”
“I-I was negligent…”
“If they had, that would mean disregarding not only the princess but also the day she becomes Empress—and disrespecting the Grand Empire itself.”
Levanfel snapped with cold sarcasm. The atmosphere grew icy, as though everyone walked on thin ice, and no one dared speak up.
“I think that’s enough hospitality for now.”
Levanfel glanced around at my frozen family as if issuing a warning. His wandering gaze lingered for a while before sliding slowly toward me.
“You’ll surely want to catch up with your long-lost family, so I’ll excuse myself.”
Relief blossomed brightly on the faces of the king and my older siblings, as if they’d just been granted a reprieve from death. Seeing their visibly relaxed expressions, Levanfel frowned slightly.
“But.”
Levanfel deliberately wrapped his arm around my waist, right before everyone’s eyes. Though I should’ve grown used to it by now, my body tensed instinctively at the unfamiliar touch.
“The princess will soon become Empress.”
Noticing my tension, Levanfel gently loosened his grip, leaving only the tips of his fingers resting lightly on my waist.
“Though the wedding hasn’t happened yet, in just a few days she’ll become Empress—someone no one will dare treat carelessly. Therefore…”
“……”
“In my absence, you must treat the princess as the Empress of the Grand Empire—with utmost deference.”
After finishing, Levanfel met my eyes. He clearly had more to say but was visibly holding it back, so I smiled brightly at him.
As if to say, “Don’t worry—I’ve got this next part.”
“Father! And sisters, brothers!”
Meanwhile, my family was engulfed in sheer terror.
After all, even when I was just a despised princess, I’d always acted willfully and stubbornly—and now that I’d become Empress of the Empire with power backing me, their reaction was perfectly understandable.
“I’ve missed you… so, so very much!”
I swallowed down my bubbling joy and warmly greeted my family.
My father, the king, left saying he wished to speak with Levanfel about political matters, and I brought the rest of my family to the Damask Palace.
It was obvious they’d be discussing pointless things like forming an alliance now that we were family.
Before following Levanfel, the king warned my siblings not to touch me or speak to me until he returned.
“Hey. Are you really marrying the Emperor?”
But my foolish siblings had no intention of obeying the king’s orders.
“Where’s Brother Karayan?”
I ignored Lucenia’s question and looked for Karayan first.
Since Karayan was truly my family, I genuinely hoped he’d attend my wedding.
“He couldn’t come because he hasn’t finished investigating the plague yet. The casualties were higher than expected, so the cleanup is taking longer.”
He’s the type of person who’d drop everything and rush here upon hearing about my wedding—if he couldn’t come, the situation must be seriously bad.
“Teriella! What on earth happened? Are you really going to become Empress of this Empire?”
“…And when you sent me here to marry the Emperor, you weren’t shocked then? Were you disappointed I didn’t get killed by him and instead received a wedding invitation?”
“Do you seriously think that makes sense?! You, Empress of the Grand Empire…!”
“Why not? It’s going to happen soon… Still don’t understand what’s going on?”
I crossed my legs arrogantly, propping my chin in my hand.
“Don’t you have anything else to say to me?”
Even when given the chance, my family exchanged glances and silently pressed their lips shut, as if they’d made a pact.
‘Right. It’s always like this.’
After tormenting me for years.
After utterly ruining me—they always acted like they knew nothing, did nothing, and shut their mouths to ignore me completely.
You’ve always treated me like a fool.
“That… that was all part of our plan.”
“Plan?”
“Yes! Think about it—if we hadn’t sent you here, could you have become Empress? If we hadn’t forced you to go when you refused, you’d still be scraping up leftover breadcrumbs to survive!”
“Is that so? I thought you sent me to die alone and lonely in a foreign land.”
“Hey! You should be grateful to us. Where else would you find siblings generous enough to give you such a great opportunity?”
Leria patted my shoulder smugly, as if my success was entirely thanks to her.
All this conversation and behavior was witnessed by the maids and knights stationed at the Damask Palace.
‘Have these fools forgotten this is my palace?’
No—it wasn’t that they’d forgotten. They simply lacked any sense of caution.
They didn’t feel the need to be careful around me, never imagining the palace maids here might actually side with me.
After all, until now, I’d just been like a pebble under their feet—someone utterly beneath their notice.
“…If you’re going to spew nonsense, at least put some effort into making it convincing.”
“What? What did you just say?”
It was a stark reminder of just how ignorant these fools were—raised in peace thanks to the Continental Accord, sheltered from war or crisis.
“If my siblings were smart, they’d have killed me long before I grew up and became Empress. Instead of constantly losing to me in the Lupeon Kingdom… You’re royalty in name only—too cowardly to stain your own hands with blood, too dull-witted to scheme properly. Must be exhausting, huh?”
“You’ve lost your mind! Do you really want to die?!”
Lucenia ground his teeth and hurled insults at me.
“Just because you might become Empress, you think you can act however you like? Have you forgotten the wedding hasn’t even happened yet?”
“Do you have any better ideas?”
“What do you think Father is doing right now?”
Lucenia sneered with a cruel glint in his eyes.
“He’s gone to convince His Imperial Majesty to choose another princess as Empress instead of you.”
“Oh…”
He really went off to do something utterly pointless.
“His Majesty would surely prefer a well-regarded princess over someone like you.”
“I may think differently… but if that’s your belief, fine. Thoughts are free—go ahead and believe whatever you like.”
‘That’s exactly why bad habits are so dangerous.’
Look—they can’t even read the room. Even when they should be groveling, they bark like dogs.
It was ridiculous how easily they fell for such obvious bait, spilling their entire plan without hesitation.
I almost regretted the time I’d spent mentally preparing myself, wondering if they’d somehow grown up in my absence.
Even without speaking, my siblings’ thoughts were plainly visible—
Written all over their shamelessly arrogant faces.
“So, did you even plan to kill me when you came here?”
“Ha. You’re only realizing that now? Scared?”
Of course it’s obvious. There’s only one reason my family would ever band together like this.
“In the Lupeon Kingdom, you tormented me plenty—but you never actually tried to kill me yourselves… Is it because once I marry, I’ll no longer be part of the Lupeon royal family?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. You were never part of our family to begin with. Don’t try to worm your way in.”
Even when stated plainly, they remained utterly unmoved.
Not a single one rushed to me saying, “We’re sorry,” or “We were wrong,” or “We regret selling you off, fearing you might have died.”
That’s probably why our bond had grown so distant.
“If you don’t consider me family, then I see no reason to consider you family either.”
“…What?”
“You’ve grown up with me for decades—you know I repay every wrong done to me.”
“What ridiculous nonsense…”
Just then, a servant from the Lupeon Kingdom, who had followed the king, entered the reception room—likely to deliver a letter.
“Teriella. You’re finished.”
“Ugh. Go ahead—read it and say what you want, but don’t regret it later.”
I clicked my tongue pityingly. Lucenia’s face turned deathly pale as he eagerly unfolded the letter the king had sent.
“What? Things didn’t go as you’d hoped?”
It was obvious even without reading.
Levanfel proposed marriage not because he lacked power or needed a woman—
But because he needed my divine power. And there’s no one else who possesses it but me.
“Th-this can’t be…”
“Why can’t you grasp the situation? Did you forget what His Majesty said earlier? He told you to treat me as Empress of the Grand Empire. What do you think that means?”
“W-why… why would he choose someone like her…?”
“It means he has no intention of accepting anyone else as Empress.”
My family still looked utterly bewildered. After all, I’d changed so drastically since we last met months ago—it was understandable they couldn’t adjust.
“Tomorrow, when dawn breaks, I’ll tell His Majesty that my siblings were plotting to kill me.”
“Wh-what absurd nonsense are you spouting?! When did we ever try to kill you?!”
As their plan unraveled completely, confusion flickered across their faces.
“T-Teriella! Do you really think anyone would believe such lies?!”
“Lies? Everyone here saw and heard it all.”
Leria’s face turned ashen.
“Didn’t Lucenia just say with his own mouth, ‘You’re only realizing that now?’”
“You… you…!”
“Could it be you still think this is the Lupeon Kingdom? Do I still look like that powerless princess you treated however you pleased?”
“…”
“Why not face reality? This is my palace, and the people here aren’t the same courtiers who mocked and looked down on me.”
“You… you…!”
“That’s why you should’ve kept your mouths shut. I thought fools who blab their entire plan out of sheer excitement existed only in stories… Ugh.”
My family fell utterly silent—probably because they’d never heard me speak like this before.
Having ruled over me without fear in the Lupeon Kingdom, this treatment was entirely new to them.
“I wonder what His Majesty will do once he learns of today’s events. You all know his reputation well enough, don’t you?”
“How… how could you do this to us…!”
“But out of consideration for our familial bond, I’ll grant an opportunity to just one of you.”
“An opportunity?”
I smiled sweetly at my despairing family, chin resting in my hand.
“The one who kneels before me first and apologizes—I’ll forgive just that one person.”
“…!”
“Blood is thicker than water, and knees are lighter than life. Don’t lose everything just to preserve your pride… Sisters, brothers.”
I calmly met each of my family members’ eyes.
“Well? Kneel.”
No sooner had I finished speaking than my selfish siblings, devoid of any familial affection, shoved each other aside in a frantic race to kneel first.
Truly foolish siblings, raised in comfort and safety.
‘If they’d just thought for a moment, they’d know I have no reason to tell the Emperor. Would I really escalate a family quarrel into a national conflict by involving Levanfel?’
Yet my selfish family seemed too consumed by their desire to survive to even consider that.
I watched silently as they pushed and shoved each other, trying to throw their siblings into the fire instead of themselves.
“It was me! I knelt first!”
“No! It was me! Spare me! Look at my pants—they’re dirtier than his!”
After watching them plead and argue over who knelt first, I finally opened my mouth.
“I had no idea you all wanted to apologize to me so badly… Then…”
“Huh?”
“Show me just how sorry you are—perhaps by dancing for me.”
Objective achieved.
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.
