In his early 20s, the emperor, after ascending to the throne, faced various constraints and ultimately experienced an assassination attempt. Eventually, he would have to handle it calmly, but how difficult it must be for him.
Rue felt more sympathy for him, remembering the times when he, a petite and skinny boy, used to be beaten to the brink of death. Born into nobility, he was already lacking, and now he had to walk the path of the emperor all alone.
“I didn’t want to show you this kind of news.”
Hayden murmured while hugging Rue.
“Making you hear that I killed someone right after waking up…”
Rue shook her head.
“You did well.”
Very softly, almost inaudibly, she whispered.
“Thank you.”
Rue patted Hayden’s back, and they read the newspaper reporting on the progress of executions and the revocation of titles. In the eastern part, there was a shameless article claiming that public opinion was leaning towards pardoning them.
Astounding. What on earth does Hayden, the emperor of a country with such weak imperial power, think? An ornament? Or a signboard hung carelessly?
It was obvious what kind of suffering Hayden, the emperor of such a weak imperial power, was going through.
Noble individuals, shamelessly, if not arrogantly, were daring to point fingers at the emperor. Of course, they had to be executed. Rue felt no sympathy whatsoever for this matter.
“I have to support him and protect him.”
Now she could do that. She could confidently hold Hayden’s hand. She tried to make herself look smaller, but she ended up smiling at the curse that failed to make her feel guilty.
[Star icon]Occasionally, in the quiet Eslat Lotte Palace, magical runes were drawn, emitting light. Whenever someone with necessary items or business to attend to visited the palace through teleportation, a dazzling light enveloped the runes.
Given the current situation, those who teleported had received Emperor Hayden’s permission in advance, making them a very small minority, and the number of visits was limited.
However, among them, the only one who could freely come and go to Eslat Lotte Palace without restrictions was none other than Milene Genesis, the Viscountess of Purlie and the Baroness of Plache. She had just heard shocking news from her husband and Emperor sitting side by side.
“Our child…”
The one referred to as ‘our child’ sat quietly, and just to note, she was twenty-five this year, clearly not a child.
The Viscount and Viscountess of Purlie were not parents who fussed over their grown-up child, but the child who had been forcibly separated at the young age of fourteen was still recognized as a ‘child.’
“A sage?”
Despite hearing a detailed explanation for a while, Milene was greatly confused and asked in return. Then, she glanced at Rue. Smirking, the one marked with a thick curse flashed a sly smile toward her mother.
“Haven’t you ever thought that way, Lady Viscountess?”
Dragonlord Melphias replied with considerable courtesy, and Milene reflexively shook her head after glancing at Rue.
“Which parents would think like that? We were skeptical even when people said our child was a genius.”
However, Ethan, who was sitting quietly next to her, glanced at his wife for no reason. Since sensitive individuals had gathered, naturally, attention turned to Ethan. Even if he wanted to pass over it, it was impossible. So, Ethan honestly spoke.
“…I did have such thoughts a bit. Just by looking, Rue is so smart, and later, hearing that she even received a curse, no matter how you think about it, our child must be special, right?”
Husbands are of no help in times like these.
“You probably speculated too, Milene.”
“Still, even if you see an uncertain situation, who would boldly say, ‘Our child must be a sage!’?”
As Milene was speaking, when the gazes of the emperor, Melfias, and Rue gathered on Ethan, she sighed. Goodness. There was another parent here who thought that way, and it was none other than her husband.
“His Majesty and Dragonlord also speculated that the successor of the southern sage is continually being killed and disappearing.”
Melfias, upon Ethan’s words, looked at Milene with an expression that said, ‘Yeah, I definitely said that.’
“I heard that when you were pregnant. Since then, His Majesty had to ascend, and the northern campaign erupted, not to mention giving birth to Bella. It was a hectic time.”
Ah. All three men in the room nodded. After all, at that time, Milene was a late-pregnant woman, and she was a newly emerging noble struggling to establish herself in Perseta.
“Anyway…, anyway, is it okay?”
Milene held Rue’s fidgeting hand and asked the emperor and Melfias.
“Is it safe?”
It was enough for her daughter not to get hurt and to be safe. However, if she’s the southern sage. Milene’s heart pounded at the thought that Carlos wouldn’t leave her daughter alone.
“Of course, it must be safe.”
Melfias spoke first. It was obvious and appropriate.
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.
