“Huh? That’s the store Adelia and I went to last time.”
That place is where I saw an exceptionally memorable play six months ago.
The reason that play still comes to mind is solely one.
Its theme was strikingly similar to my own situation.
The play, dealing with the pure love of a female protagonist who is in unrequited love with the male protagonist, ended happily with the male lead eventually falling in love with her.
The early part of the story was similar to mine, but the ending was completely different.
“Sigh.”
Anyway, now I had no one to watch such plays with.
The person with whom I used to spend a lot of time every day was gone.
So, these days, my life has changed from what it was before; I’ve started doing more things alone than together with someone.
“Amy. We’re almost at the florist, so ask them to stop there.”
One of those things was visiting the florist more frequently.
“Understood, Miss.”
Soon after, the carriage came to a complete stop in front of the florist.
I got out of the carriage and immediately entered the florist.
“Oh, Miss Helena, welcome.”
The owner, recognizing me as a frequent visitor, greeted me warmly.
“Show me the new flowers that came in today.”
“Yes, Miss. I prepared them in advance, knowing you would come. This way, please.”
I followed the owner further into the florist.
There, a space organized by the owner revealed various flowers, each with their own unique color.
Looking over the flowers, I pointed to one with a peculiar color that seemed both yellow and light green, and asked the owner.
“What flower is this?”
“Ah, Miss Helena, always knowledgeable. It’s a flower named Flora that just arrived today.”
“Flora?”
It was a name I, well-versed in flowers, had never heard before.
“Yes. Flora mostly blooms in regions where it’s warm like spring for most of the year, so it’s rare to see in the capital and the surrounding estates.”
“Then, is it difficult to grow this plant here?”
“Well, not exactly. If you grow it in a warm indoor environment until its stem fully matures, it can then be planted in the garden and thrive well. Also…”
After hearing the owner’s explanation, it seemed like it would require a lot of care initially, but after a certain period, it would need less attention compared to other flowers.
And its pastel-like coloration made me think it would give a vibrant touch to the new Labellion garden this season.
“Would you like to see other flowers?”
“Yes, please.”
Thinking about where to plant Flora in my garden, I continued to browse other flowers.
“How about this flower?”
The owner pointed to a white flower and asked.
“This looks like Brelia. Isn’t this also a rare flower to see around here?”
“Ah, you know your flowers well, Miss. We have customers who study flowers, but no one has identified them at a glance like you.”
The owner complimented me, admiringly referring to me as Miss Helena.
“As you know, Brelia blooms near the sea, right? That’s why it’s very resilient once its stem matures, like Flora. However, it’s a bit challenging to transfer in a live state due to its delicate roots, but our florist has managed it successfully this time. This is the proof.”
The owner expressed pride in his florist, a sight I had seen not just once or twice. I smiled and nodded in agreement.
If it weren’t for such pride and excellent care, I wouldn’t have made the effort to come to this slightly distant place from the mansion regularly.
It was because of his outstanding management skills that I could trust him with the flowers for my own garden.
“Today, I’ll take
“I’ll wrap them up quickly, so please take a look around a bit more.”
Nodding in agreement, I took another look around the florist.
After a casual stroll around, the owner had neatly wrapped the roots of Flora and Brelia and placed them in the back of the carriage.
“Here, I’ve packed the number you requested. Please check them, and if any are in bad condition when you arrive at the mansion, contact me anytime. For our Miss Helena, I’ll select the healthiest ones and send them to the mansion right away.”
“If you’ve selected them, I trust them without special inspection. There won’t be such an issue, so no need for such talk.”
“Ah, thank you. Then, I’ll prepare more unique and beautiful flowers and plants for your next visit.”
“May you sell a lot.”
Receiving the owner’s farewell, I got back into the carriage.
Upon returning home, I immediately changed clothes and headed to the garden with Amy and a few servants.
“Where should I plant them?”
Since the store owner advised to move Flora after a few more days, I planned to grow it inside the mansion for now, so today’s concern was where to plant Brelia.
“Hmm.”
Thinking it might be better to plant the white flowers towards the edges rather than the center, I took Brelia to the left side of the garden.
Reaching a spot I had prepared earlier, I directed the servants on how to plant the flowers.
‘This is indeed the right spot.’
Before planting the rest, I stepped back to get a full view of the garden.
The flowers I brought today harmonized well with my garden.
Just as I was about to plant the rest, the thought of the Labellion Duke’s garden swiftly crossed my mind.
Should I plant them there too?
They would seem to fit well in that garden too.
‘But, can I go there?’
At the Labellion Duke’s residence, it wasn’t Adelia now, but Kaern.
‘What should I do?’
I wanted to go.
Thinking of planting Brelia in that garden felt right, but contemplating about Kaern made me hesitate.
So, after much deliberation, I decided not to go to the Labellion Duke’s residence unless it’s the season to change flowers.
It wasn’t because I couldn’t visit as freely as when Adelia was there, but purely for another reason.
I’ve been feeling complicated lately due to the words he said to me at Adelia’s wedding, making it difficult to face Kaern.
Whenever I encountered him at such times, I tended to make inexplicable mistakes, so my experience told me it was risky.
Therefore, avoiding contact with him was the best course of action.
Still, I couldn’t quite grasp why Kaern was inviting me to the banquet together.
Was he genuinely worried about me?
I told him it was alright if that was the case.
Of course, he wasn’t oblivious to the fact that Adelia’s absence was hard on me.
That would be the same for him too.
But concluding so left an unsatisfactory feeling.
‘I don’t know.’
No matter how much I thought, I couldn’t figure it out.
This was the conclusion of my long deliberation.
Or rather, it remained an unsolved problem.
And a few days later, the day of the Prince’s birthday celebration arrived.
Even on the day of the banquet, pondering over and over, I became curious if Kaern would really come.
He always kept his word, but he had never said he would come to pick me up.
Still half-doubtful, I occasionally glanced outside while preparing for the banquet.
Nonetheless, the thought of going with Kaern, despite the unknown reason, made me want to prepare more diligently today.
So, I braided my auburn hair halfway on both sides and wore a light purple dress, matching my purple eyes.
Having finished all the preparations except for my dearly cherished hair ornament, which I had lost, I looked out the window with a bit of excitement.
Then I saw a carriage bearing the lion emblem of the Labellion Ducal family approaching the mansion.
‘He really came.’
As Kaern alighted from the carriage, I stopped my thoughts and hurried to the front of the mansion, lest he be waiting.
“Duke!”
When I called out to him with a happy voice, Kaern turned his head and looked at me.
Today, as always, he was exceptionally handsome.
Observing Kaern dressed in a black tailcoat, I couldn’t help but admire him inwardly.
“You’ve arrived early.”
“Are you not completely ready yet?”
“No, I am. I just need to put in my hair ornament, so please wait just a moment.”
As I said this and turned to go back inside, a maid approached, holding the hair ornament in her hand.
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:
