The tide of battle had completely turned. Under the influence of the awakening agent, Decar’s attacks seemed to overwhelm Velion with strength, and now Velion could barely defend against his attacks. Decar swung his sword aggressively.
“Well, indeed, from this perspective, a Duke is a Duke. Unlike the Duke, you hardly show any signs of difficulty.”
“…”
“Or maybe it’s harder for you to remove that annoying mask?”
With the last words, Decar swiftly struck Velion’s face with the hilt of his sword.
Though Velion narrowly avoided injuring his face, he couldn’t prevent the mask from breaking. Velion’s face, hidden behind the mask, was now fully revealed. Decar looked at his face as if savoring the moment.
“Yes, this is it. Exactly this. Seeing a Duke without a mask is truly a rare sight.”
Even after the mask was removed, Velion quickly corrected his posture and rushed towards Decar.
The momentum of the two became tremendous. Although everyone wanted to help Velion, no one dared to step forward. They all knew that, in their current state, intervening would only hinder Velion. However, Delina noticed Velion’s condition.
‘His Excellency is almost at his limit.’
It wasn’t evident, but Velion was reaching his limits. Decar sensed it too and continued to wield his sword more enthusiastically.
“Protecting the position of the Duke of Wulfrim is not an easy task, isn’t it? You have to deal with all the nuisances behind. Even if it’s tough, you can’t show signs of difficulty.”
“…”
“It’s really pitiful. When the Duke is struggling, there’s no one to help. Isn’t that right? Look at it now. There’s no one to help the Duke.”
Decar’s voice, increasingly confident of victory, rose. When Velion, showing signs of fatigue, momentarily revealed a gap, Decar’s sword swiftly approached him.
Bang!
At that moment, gunshots echoed through the forest. Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent. In the midst of it all, Delina stood with a raised gun, aiming at the staggering Decar.
“Delina!”
With all her strength exhausted, Delina slumped down, and simultaneously, Decar staggered. Confirming Decar’s condition, Velion, without hesitation, attacked him with his sword.
“…!”
Stabbed in the chest, Decar collapsed as if his strength had been drained. Seeing him unable to move, Velion withdrew the sword that pierced his chest and finished him off. Delina, who had been sitting there, struggled to regain her composure and looked toward the fallen Decar.
“What happened, what happened?”
Delina asked, but instead of answering, Velion approached the fallen Decar. Decar lay on the ground, breathing heavily. Approaching him, Velion looked down at him and smiled slightly.
“What’s this? Quite impressive, Clown Lady? Shooting me accurately while entangled in a fight with the Duke.”
“Of course. Who do you think I am, a clown?”
Decar attempted to laugh at Velion’s words but soon erupted into a violent cough. Blood gushed from his wounds. Observing his miserable state, Velion inquired,
“Is this what you wanted?”
“Well, it was entertaining until now, but it seems to be getting dull again.”
“…”
“Seeing the Duke’s face while he’s dying remains unchanged. Indeed, just dying alone won’t show the Duke’s reaction.”
Velion’s expression, looking down at Decar, was as indifferent as usual. As Decar closed his eyes in resignation, Velion spoke.
“You’re wrong.”
“…”
“I also get angry, sad, and experience joy.”
“…”
“I just don’t show it as well as others. Like everyone else, I feel emotions in everything—family matters, friendship, or even…”
After a moment of hesitation, Velion continued.
“…matters of lovers.”
At Velion’s last words, Decar raised the corner of his mouth as if amused.
“What, meeting with the princess again? Are you trying to boast to me?”
The more Decar spoke, the worse his complexion became. Without waiting for Velion’s response, Decar, as if giving up, severed what was hanging around his neck. Attached to the string was a small vial.
Velion, with a guarded look, stared at him. While looking at Velion, Decar, with a face that seemed to mock, slowly shook the vial.
“This is also a similar artificial poison. I always carry it around.”
“Why?”
“For what reason? To prevent being recorded in history as Duke Velion killing Emperor Decar in such a pathetic situation. So, I’d rather die from poison.”
Saying that, Decar swung his arm and tossed the open vial aside. As the powder touched the damp ground, smoke slowly began to rise. Delina and the children quickly got up from their positions.
“There’s not much powder, so if you run away hard enough, you won’t die. Or do you want to die with me here? Well, it’s up to you.”
Laughing to himself while looking at Velion, who stood still, Decar chuckled. Then, as if urging him, Delina urgently called Velion.
“Your Excellency!”
Velion, glancing at the approaching smoke, looked back at Decar and spoke.
“If I had known there was such a thing, I would have preferred to spray it on my body.”
“Well, that would be boring.”
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.
