That was the annoyance of not being able to personally chase after Carlos. Lu was intrigued by how her mother had come to be called the ‘Iron Lady,’ but somehow, she felt like she already knew.
“Coward, who dares to underestimate someone else’s daughter?”
Lu responded a little late to her mother’s bold words.
“…Huh? What?”
“That shameless guy is targeting you.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“That guy’s gaze was really dirty. Be careful. But was he always like that? Did he have a personal interest in you?”
While eating grapes from the fruit plate her mother brought, Lu shook her head.
“No. It became like that after I came here and started accompanying His Majesty. But Mom, how did you know about that?”
“Just by looking, you should know. Why don’t you know?”
“Wow…, Mom’s really the best with intuition.”
Watching her daughter raise her thumb without resentment, Milene sat down next to her.
“Is he just acting up for no reason? Originally, he was quick to suspect because suspicion was a daily routine.”
That’s right. There was nothing Lu could do to avoid Carlos’s gaze. Lu remembered herself becoming more and more foolish under that gaze.
Her memory had deteriorated, and even reading books didn’t lead to understanding. So, why couldn’t she recall Hayden either?
‘Maybe the memory loss is related to the curse.’
There were quite a few missing memories in the initial stages of her momentum. If she regains her strength, can she use magic to restore those memories? Even if it’s impossible for ordinary people, it might be possible for a mage like Lu.
“He’s a bad guy. He didn’t even treat you like a person, but after His Majesty looked at you, he might be doing that… It’s surprising.”
Well, at times like this, Lu realized it was wise to say nothing. She wondered how far her relationship with Hayden had progressed, but if her mother knew, she would immediately catch her.
“Do you like His Majesty?”
“Huh? What? Oh, yes?”
“You resemble your father so you’re bad at lying.”
“No, it’s just because Mom asked about something Mom opposes. I’m just surprised. I’m good at lying. But I never lie to my parents and family.”
Ah, right. Milene gave a bitter smile. Her eldest daughter, who had grown up alone, knew very well how not to get scolded. After putting down words that couldn’t be refuted with a serious face, she disappeared like a mirage. It wasn’t annoying; it was lovable.
“Now answer. Do you like His Majesty? Huh?”
“Oh, why are you asking that? You told me not to meet him.”
“I still oppose it. You suffer too much. But His Majesty seems to have feelings for you, so I’m asking.”
“What does my opposition matter to my feelings?”
“Ugh, you’re an adult. Will you listen to me just because I oppose?”
“Mom’s feelings are really complicated.”
“That’s right! It’s very complicated!”
Why couldn’t she understand the gaze of a man who had fallen in love? Hayden was good at hiding his expressions, and he even knew how to fake his gaze.
But Milene, who had fought with him for years with the same heart, clearly noticed yesterday.
He was genuinely worried about Lu, and he felt extremely uncomfortable with Carlos showing interest in Lu as a man. It was the gaze of a man deeply in love.
‘It’s not right.’
It was unacceptable. Milene still found it uneasy that her daughter’s burdens were increasing too much. It would be nice if she could just sit quietly and inherit the territory and property, but what’s the point of being a mage and a queen?
“Being a queen is a headache.”
At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and Lady Freya entered.
“Miss, the young ladies of Viscountess Svenya, Countess Fremontie, and Viscount Ebroi are here. They want to greet the mage staying in the palace.”
“Look at that. How troublesome is it?”
Lu alternately looked at her mother, who spoke naturally, and Lady Freya, who seemed firm as a rock.
“Ophelia has already returned to the tower…?”
“Yes. But that doesn’t mean the mage is not in the palace!”
“Okay. Of course.”
Lady Freya, in charge of the entire palace, was a noble with high pride and strict etiquette. She didn’t ask Lu to meet the young ladies for no reason.
Lu looked at her mother, who was playing along with Lady Freya’s words, and then turned to Lady Freya, who seemed determined to teach the young ladies the proper etiquette for the nobility outside.
“Well, Lady Freya. I’m a bit confused right now, so could you tell me exactly what I should do when I meet those young ladies?”
Surely she wouldn’t suggest having a petty fight with young ladies. Lady Freya was the most meticulous and noble noblewoman among those known to Lu. There was no way she would do that.
“Clearly show who the highest-ranking lady in the palace, excluding His Majesty, is and greet them as a superior. That’s all you have to do.”
Uh, she wants me to win a petty fight. Lu sighed deeply.
“Do we have to do that…?”
“I’ll be straightforward since there’s no time. If you leave those shallow young ladies who came to greet you to their devices just because they came to greet the Mage Lord, it’s disrespectful.”
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:
