She had asserted herself in front of Shuher, and she didn’t want to be treated as unnecessary, so she wanted to prepare more thoroughly.
Physical training at dawn, horse riding in the morning, and target practice in the afternoon. After all the training, she went straight to the library to study the subjugation sites and monsters.
The destination was Ferdi’s territory, located northwest of Caries, and one of the empowered families, the Count of Ferdi, was guarding the forest where the monsters appeared.
Ferdi’s territory was not high in the mountains, but its geological feature was hard rocks. There were canyons and deep valleys here and there.
By the way, she also filled in what was lacking about this world. Fortunately, reading and writing were no problem at all.
Training with Demil went smoother than expected. Although she suffered from muscle pain at first, now she had caught the feel.
He just focused on teaching, and that helped greatly. Of course, that didn’t mean they became close or friendly.
The knights, whom she almost met every day, were the same.
She lost the bet, so she didn’t say anything outright, but they completely ignored her, treating her as if she didn’t exist.
Thus, cutting even sleep, she spent busy days, and since meeting in the library, she hadn’t met Shuher.
From her point of view, it was a blessing.
Meanwhile, she quickly adapted to life in the palace. At the same time, hearing the contemptuous murmurs of people became part of her daily routine.
“Time has already passed so much.”
Evenel noticed the darkening window and stretched. She then got up from her seat and left the library.
With only the books in the library being insufficient, she went to the library like now to find what she needed. She had two books in her hand.
Emil said she could use the books in the library at ease, so she carried them around as if they were her own.
“I want to know how the subjugation in Ferdi’s territory went so far.”
She wanted detailed information about where and how many monsters appeared, how many soldiers were there, etc., but she couldn’t find it.
Even asking the knights or Demil didn’t seem like they would easily tell her.
Dragging her body, which had been tormented all day, she arrived at the palace and happened to bump into Shuher.
“Ah…….”
Since it was the first meeting since that day, an awkward silence flowed for a moment. Precisely, only she felt that way.
Evenel made eye contact, so she couldn’t ignore him and spoke first.
“Are you coming from the office?”
Shuher went into the palace without any particular reply, and she followed him awkwardly, regretting to herself for speaking unnecessarily.
Evenel also didn’t want to engage in conversation, so she went her own way, but unexpectedly, he spoke to her.
“Where are you going?”
He asked, seeing that she wasn’t going to her room at this late hour.
“Ah, to the archive. I want to find some material, but it’s not in the Imperial Library. So, I’m going to look for it in the archive.”
“Most things should be in the Imperial Library.”
Shuher said that, seeming puzzled. Because it was not an exaggeration to say that every book and material in the world was gathered there.
“It’s information about the Ferti territory. I want to know how the subjugation was carried out in the past.”
“That won’t be in the archive either. It’s information that should not be made public.”
It was confidential information that included defenses against monsters and troop numbers of the territory, so it was natural that she couldn’t find it.
“Ah, is that so?”
Evenel couldn’t hide her disappointed expression, but since she was an outsider and shouldn’t see it, she had no choice but to give up.
“Then there’s nothing I can do.”
Just about to return to her room, after a few seconds of hesitation, Shuher spoke.
“Follow me.”
“What?”
Since she just stood there, he turned around to look at Evenel.
“You said you needed that material, didn’t you?”
Realizing belatedly that he meant to show it to her, she hurriedly followed Shuher. And for the first time, she stepped into the top floor where his private space was.
There was definitely no sign of anyone, and for some reason, even the air felt heavy.
Soon they arrived at another office in the Imperial Palace.
“Sit there and wait.”
Evenel carefully sat on a sofa on one side. Unlike the place for official duties, it definitely looked cluttered.
“Is this what you need?”
Accepting the documents he brought, Evenel was about to check the contents but hesitated.
“Can I really look at this? You said it’s information that shouldn’t be made public.”
“You don’t seem to have anyone to blab to anyway.”
When Shuher hit the mark, Evenel was momentarily at a loss for words, so she spoke with a more gruff voice.
“Ah, then there’s no problem at all. The only person I talk to is Lia.”
And without hesitation, she unfolded the document and quickly read through it. The information she had sought was densely written inside.
Before she knew it, Evenel was completely absorbed in the document, even forgetting that Shuher was there.
Watching her, Shuher absentmindedly opened a book she had been holding, and his face showed a hint of surprise as he flipped through the pages.
Inside were traces of her diligent study. She had even supplemented areas where explanations were lacking, and it was immediately apparent that she hadn’t just skimmed through her studies.
‘So this is what she means by doing what she says she can.’
He naturally recalled her recent activities with Emil and Demil, visiting the archive and training ground daily.
“Can I take this and look at it?”
As Shuher obediently nodded, Evenel had no choice but to voice her doubts.
“Why did you really show it to me? There must be another reason besides what you just said.”
In her view, he was never a person who would act unless it benefited him.
But that was precisely what Shuher wanted to ask.
“Then why are you going to such lengths, Your Highness? Just telling me where the monster’s core is would fulfill your role.”
“I don’t want to hide behind others. It doesn’t suit my temperament. And as I told you before, I’m going to do everything I can. It’s for my own sake, anyway.”
For Evenel, there was no other grand reason. She was simply paving her own path, as she always had.
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:
