‘Emperor Perseta is trying to suppress Calleta from the beginning. It’s inevitable here, but you can’t be completely crushed without form.’
Riga, who had composed herself, opened her mouth.
“I too regret it. So I don’t care about the rumors, no matter what action I take, it will be bad.”
“It sounds more like you don’t expect it rather than not caring, to me.”
Riga, who had been harassed by rumors and factionalism, replied without laughing.
“I naturally have no expectations of people who like to talk.”
“I don’t have those expectations either. But rumors can kill a person. And there’s no escape for the project here.”
She stared silently at the heavy teapot. It would be nice to hit that bastard over the head with it.
“Your Majesty. I am truly grateful for the advice, but…”
“It doesn’t look like you’re grateful at all.”
“Why have you called me?”
The emperor, who had been poking at the sore spot with a light tone, smiled slyly. He propped up his folded arm on the table and clasped his hands. Sharp gray eyes rested on his long, clean fingertips.
“Don’t you know that an audience with the emperor is a great honor, Consultant?”
A terrifying being. A being beyond human asks. She might even be cut by those gray eyes. Frankly, he is more terrifying than any monster she encountered at the barrier.
He is gathering all his energy, but Riga, who remembers the terror, hides her trembling hands inside her clothes and desperately moves her tongue.
“I understand well, but as valuable as Your Majesty’s time is, every audience tends to have a purpose, doesn’t it?”
“Not particularly.”
As the gray eyes twinkled with laughter, Riga reflexively gave her attention to the teapot.
It’s best to strike and finish him off. Let’s change life’s goal to an attempted regicide. Attempted regicide may be impossible, but let’s try. The weapon is a teapot filled with hot tea. Unique and good, isn’t it?
“It’s all about fostering friendship and socializing, isn’t it?”
I don’t want to do that with you. Lu muttered to herself.
“Ah, you don’t want to be friendly with me, Duke?”
Is that guy trying to play hard to get? She quickly smiled.
“Of course, it’s an honor, Your Majesty.”
“That smile lacks sincerity. No one would believe that smile is genuine.”
That bastard. By this point, she couldn’t stop her hand from automatically reaching toward the teapot.
“The teapot is the host’s domain, Duke.”
The Emperor spoke very elegantly as he sipped his tea.
“The teacup isn’t empty yet.”
Damn. Lu turned her hand, which had been reaching for the teapot, and picked up the tongs from the plate of lemons beside it. Plop, a slice of lemon fell into the teacup.
“I don’t particularly enjoy tea gatherings either. Too much talking, and it’s tiring. Tea is merely a flavor to enjoy, but all these unnecessary formalities are attached to it, like the order of things, the number and types of desserts you have to eat, etc.”
When will this end? When will the Emperor stop tormenting her?
But that man, to think he would say something like that. There’s none of the freshness or innocence he had when they accidentally met in the countryside.
It’s all a pretense, and it was so impressive that she had to admire it. Lu mechanically lifted her teacup and drank.
“But it seems that you, Duke, don’t particularly enjoy tea gatherings either.”
“No, that’s not true.”
A mechanical response came out immediately. She took another gulp of tea.
“Or do you not like the location?”
KAAAAAAAA!
A loud shriek made the tea inside the teacup shake violently. Startled out of her wits, Lu suddenly looked around at the changed surroundings.
The warm and cozy air had quickly turned dry, and they were sitting in a wasteland, not the Imperial Palace garden.
The lavishly set tea table remained unchanged, and the Emperor was sipping his tea elegantly. His sweptback hair swayed slightly in the wind.
KYAAAAAAAA!
And at the far end of the wasteland, letting out a monstrous roar, was a giant monster.
“It’s the prototype of what Caletha calls a ‘monster’. We call it a monster.”
The monster, its body as large as a wall and with long sharp claws hanging heavily from its front legs, had skin that looked incredibly tough.
It seemed as if even a sword strike wouldn’t leave a mark.
Emperor Fersecta put down his teacup and stared straight at Lu, who was shocked by the monster’s overwhelming presence.
The monster was targeting them specifically, thumping and shaking the ground as it approached, Kung, Kung.
It was clearly aiming at her and the Emperor, but the Emperor seemed uninterested in the monster, his gray eyes fixed solely on Lu.
“This crazy X! …”
The monstrous beast, filled with immense hostility and killing intent, finally raised its front paw for a strike.
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~
