But Evenel’s gaze was fixed on the knights guarding the entrance to the imperial palace. They were completely differently dressed from the ones she had seen just once at the Duke’s residence.
What caught her eye next was the gun, along with a sword at their waists. It was in a holster, but from the end alone, she could tell it was the same type of revolver she had seen in Aodin.
Then, her eyes met with a knight of Karies guarding the entrance.
Evenel felt it as soon as she saw him. His eyes were full of contempt.
The fact that he had openly displayed that emotion showed that he had no intention of hiding it at all.
Aran’s words brushed past her mind in the face of the openly displayed scorn.
‘Just being a person of Aodin is a crime in Karies.’
At this moment, standing on the land of the Karies Empire, Evenel felt that she understood the meaning behind those words. In this place, her very existence was a crime, and thus, she could be killed.
But she didn’t care much about that fact. Whether it was friendliness or hostility, it meant nothing to her.
So she could calmly say to the companions who had come with her:
“Since no one else can enter, everyone else should go back. You too, Lia.”
“I don’t want to.”
Unlike the escort knights who were clearly in a hurry to leave, Lia strongly refused and then earnestly begged the knights of Karies.
“I am the maid serving Miss Evenel. Please let me in as well.”
“It cannot be. Only Lady Evenel can enter the imperial palace.”
“Please, I beg you like this.”
Both men repeated that it couldn’t be done, even as she bent down to her waist to plead.
Evenel was about to tell Lia to go back, thinking that it was right to part here, when the entrance to the imperial palace slowly began to open.
As soon as they saw the man walking out from the gap, the knights guarding the entrance immediately bowed their heads.
‘Who is he?’
Whether it was his large physique, the dark brown hair, or the purple eyes, or perhaps the scar crossing his left eye, this man was hard to look at.
Evenel’s eyes, which had been closely examining the man in front of her, rested on the emblem decorating above his left chest.
The crossed pair of swords and the mysterious purple snake pattern.
All of this told her that he was no ordinary person.
The man looked around at the group, then looked at Evenel last and opened his mouth.
“I am Commander Demil.”
With that brief greeting, Demil immediately asked the knights:
“What’s going on? Why haven’t you opened the entrance?”
“They are stubborn about coming in even though we said they can’t,” they replied, referring to the maid.
He glanced at Lia and then stared at Evenel, and said in a voice devoid of emotion:
“Follow me.”
Realizing the words were permission, Lia’s face broke into a delighted smile as she grabbed her carried luggage.
The two followed Demil through the entrance and took their first steps into the imperial palace. The door that closed firmly behind them seemed to say that one could never leave alive.
“Here is the imperial palace…….”
Before Evenel’s eyes, the vast imperial palace unfolded. It was incomparable to the annex of the ducal residence where she had stayed before.
It was so endless that one might as well say another city lay beyond the gates.
A feeling of grandiosity or heaviness that overwhelmed everything was felt.
“Wow……. It feels completely different from Aodin, Miss.”
Ria, who was coming to the Karies Empire for the first time, was busy looking around as well. But among the feast of eyecatching things, Evenel only stared at Demil, who was walking ahead.
“Are we going to the palace where His Majesty the Emperor is?”
It was only in time that Ria’s expectation was sadly wrong. The three were heading more and more toward a remote part of the imperial palace.
Certainly not a place where an emperor, the ruler of an empire, would be.
As the surrounding buildings disappeared and they passed through a shaded path lined with trees, a building stood tall at the end.
Stopping her steps following Demil, Evenel looked up at the destination.
It was a round building with an open roof like a coliseum. The fact that such a giant structure that looked like a stadium was inside the imperial palace was simply astonishing.
At the same time, the fact that she was brought here.
‘I expected it, but right upon arrival.’
She had a hunch that the contents of the novel would soon be reenacted. Since she had already made up her mind, her heart was as calm as the surface of a placid lake.
She had thought it wouldn’t be an ordinary place since she was going to be thrown as food to a monster, but she never thought it would be here.
“Here it is.”
With a calm voice, Demil’s eyes turned to Evenel. There was no hint of surprise in her eyes as she looked up at the stadium.
‘Why doesn’t she ask anything?’
In fact, he had been watching Evenel, who had been showing unexpected reactions since their first meeting.
She should have asked where they were going, but she kept silent all along. A face expressionless, showing neither fear nor curiosity.
But Demil’s thoughts went no further. He simply had to carry out his lord’s orders.
“Here it is. They are waiting inside.”
Evenel obediently followed him into the building. Passing through a dark corridor, at the end there was an iron door with light leaking out.
Demil opened the door as if to say to enter. Before taking a step, Evenel spoke to Ria, who was standing behind.
“Ria, don’t follow me. Stay here.”
“Miss…….”
Ria’s face showed a hint of anxiety, as she had no idea where this was or what was going to happen.
“And if something happens to me, you go straight back to Aodin. Don’t look back.”
It was unlikely that they would do anything to her, an innocent person, but it didn’t hurt to firmly say.
“What do you mean…….”
Leaving Ria, who was holding her back, behind, Evenel slowly moved her steps as if being drawn into the bright light.
The sunlight was so dazzling that she raised her hand to shield her sight as she walked towards the center.
As her eyes adjusted to the light and she lowered her hand, there was no time to grasp the situation around her when a thunderous cheer filled the space.
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 flirtatiously pursues 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.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
