“Really, our servants do this every year.”
Estelle, laughing out loud, twirled the handkerchief in front of her.
“Everyone still hasn’t given up on my marriage, you know. Every hunting season, they always hand me a handkerchief, and I just can’t refuse when I see their earnest eyes.”
“Your servants are still the same.”
“Well, in a way, we’re also recipients of handkerchiefs. Unmarried noblewomen. Just like us, right?”
Estelle smiled and looked at Grace’s handkerchief.
“But you already have someone designated to give you a handkerchief.”
“No, the maids just handed it to me and told me to sit quietly today.”
“Ah, come on. Just give it to Bellion.”
“…….”
“Besides, Bellion became a duke, and you have more responsibilities now. Naturally, you don’t meet as before. But now, Ashud has also grown up, and Bellion has groomed his heir. Now you both should take care of your own love.”
“…….”
When Grace remained silent, Estelle asked.
“Is it because of Bellion’s daughter, by any chance?”
Hearing Celine’s story, Estelle was also surprised. She had thought about what the situation might be, but Celine, seen during the hunting season, closely resembled Bellion. It was an undeniable relationship.
“No, it’s not because of that.”
“…….”
“She gave birth to a daughter before I met her… What can I say about my current situation. It’s not the right time.”
Trying to seem okay, Grace smiled, and Estelle couldn’t continue the conversation. However, she handed the handkerchief to Grace.
“Okay. Anyway, don’t worry and just wait. Edwin said Bellion would naturally bring him here. You can give it to him inside the mansion without worrying about people’s gaze.”
With a triumphant expression, as if everything was prepared, Estelle said. As Estelle finished speaking, the two people entered the backstage as if they had been waiting.
“Are they here?”
When Edwin and Bellion arrived, Estelle, as if waiting, got up from her seat. But Bellion’s expression didn’t look very good. Estelle approached Edwin and whispered.
“What’s wrong with Bellion?”
“Why wouldn’t he be? After what Prince Lunen said earlier.”
“I see.”
After witnessing Damian lamenting about the deer, Bellion, who had been unimpressed, soon relaxed when he noticed Grace behind Estelle.
“Ah…”
“…….”
The eyes of the two met. Apparently, Estelle thought it was the right time and led Edwin to a corner. At the same time, Grace, holding the handkerchief, stood up and approached Bellion.
“Long time no see, how have you been?”
“…….”
“Of course, news about you always comes flying to the palace, but still, seeing your face like this feels like a long time.”
“That’s true.”
It had been so long since the two had a conversation like this. An awkward silence ensued. Estelle, who was in the corner behind Bellion, gestured to Grace, pointing to the handkerchief.
“Hey. Do you want this?”
“…….”
“It’s nothing special. The maids told me to take it, so… if you happen to get something dirty during the hunt, you can use it to wipe it off.”
Grace, who hesitated, handed the handkerchief to Bellion. Watching it quietly, Bellion extended his wrist.
“Tie it for me.”
“Oh, really?”
Grace’s face brightened at Bellion’s words. Grace wrapped the handkerchief around Bellion’s wrist.
“Do well and come back. Of course, you’re always good, but…”
“…….”
“But, your daughter didn’t give you a handkerchief? There’s nothing on your wrist.”
“Not my daughter.”
“Huh?”
At Bellion’s outright denial, Grace and Estelle looked at Bellion in surprise.
“Niece.”
“Niece? You have a niece? If she’s Bellion’s niece…”
As Grace mumbled like that, she suddenly realized something and opened her mouth slightly.
“Could it be Marion’s daughter?”
“Yes.”
“Then, what about Marion? Was she alive? Where is she now?”
“…….”
Bellion fell silent at her question, and soon Grace understood the meaning of his silence.
“I see, that’s how it is. No sister, only that child… But is it okay for me to hear such a story?”
The fact that Marion, the duchess of the Ulfheim Duchy, was alive was shocking enough. But now it turned out she had a daughter as well. If this became known in the royal court and social circles, it would undoubtedly cause a significant stir.
“I don’t want you to misunderstand.”
The subsequent response from Bellion was equally shocking. Grace, who was momentarily puzzled, blushed belatedly. Behind her, Estelle whispered to Edwin in a small voice, already excited about the unfolding situation between the two.
“Did you hear what Bellion said just now?”
“Yeah.”
“Hey, seriously. I feel so good. Don’t you?”
“That’s true.”
Side by side, the two watching the conversation between the two seemed to enjoy the sight. Edwin, casually responding, also glanced at the handkerchief in Estelle’s hand.
“Is that your handkerchief?”
“Yeah. The servants told me to take it. Oh, did you spill something on your clothes again? Want one?”
“…….”
“Anyway, it’s not mourning, and you keep spilling every year. Didn’t you spill grape wine last year?”
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 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.
