Hayden, with a calm expression, grabbed Lu’s right ankle and tore apart the curse bound to the foot, shattering it into pieces, just as he had done before sweeping away the monsters.
When his grey eyes, feigning softness, reflected an emerald light, Lu saw them filled with clear disgust and anger.
Indeed, Hayden’s anger was solely directed at this curse. Or perhaps at Carlos Arthur Ingram behind it.
But why was he ‘so furiously’ angry?
If he showed sympathy or empathy, he could be considered a broadminded and empathetic person. If he had superior morality, he might get angry once.
But the emotion revealed by Hayden seemed to be an utterly personal anger, one he couldn’t control. Lu felt ashamed, grateful, and her head tilted in such a personal way.
“Eat well again.”
Without showing anger, and even suppressing the intimidating aura, Hayden spoke nonchalantly.
“You need to sleep well to withstand it. Don’t overdo it for a while until you can do the next week.”
Lu watched the remains of the curse disappearing without form in his hand. It vanished so weakly.
“Do you want to keep overdoing it, Your Grace?”
When she didn’t answer, Hayden closed the distance and asked.
“Yes? No, no. I won’t overdo it. Thank you.”
Lu quickly bowed her head, but he did not let go of her clenched ankle.
The pale light from the ankle severed the curse and prevented it from descending any further. Now both feet were free.
“There’s nothing more to do in Belfort, so I plan to move. My granddaughters have to go home too.”
“Ah, yes.”
“The subjugation is not completely over.”
His gaze was on the ankle. Still holding the ankle effortlessly with one hand. Not because Lu’s skeleton was too slender, but because he was excessively large.
The gripped area tingled. Was it the curse? Lu thought Hayden’s eyelashes were long and thick.
“Monsters are popping up sporadically everywhere. Once that’s sorted out, I’ll be back in Shalea….”
Grey eyes beneath curtainlike eyelashes stared at her.
“Will Your Grace stay in Plache?”
Lu blinked her eyes.
“Yes, I suppose… I have to be with my parents.”
After a moment of thought, she added,
“As soon as I resign from the construction job and everything is sorted out.”
It wouldn’t be easy, but Hayden must have calculated how to handle the construction job and how to restrain Carlos when he brought her here.
Even if not, Lu was determined to escape Carlos’s clutches, returning to her parents and family, no matter what.
“I will do my best to take responsibility and help you resign smoothly.”
Of course, Hayden knew what she was worried about. Fortunately. Lu took a sigh of relief, feeling a weight lifted. So now was the time to discuss trivial matters.
“Um, Your Majesty.”
He flicked his eyebrows as if to say, say whatever you want.
“Well, I just thought I’d mention it. I appreciate everything so much, and I will do my best in the future, but…”
Hayden, who had been examining her ankle, raised his head and gracefully rose. He moved like a smooth predator.
“You’re taking a long time.”
“That, what you said earlier…, that, about my trustworthiness.”
He responded bluntly.
“Oh, the night when Your Grace innocently seduced me to have an extraordinary night?”
Aaah! Lu wanted to scream but held back and calmly said,
“That was certainly not me seducing Your Majesty, but adults mutually agreeing in the heat of the moment for one night….”
“Let’s consider it as if it never happened. I understood enough, and that’s why I haven’t brought it up so far.”
Hayden said indifferently.
“It’s quite despicable to trap you in the empire with just the fact that you slept with me. It’s not right, nor is it courteous to the Earl of Plache. So it should be treated as a separate issue.”
“……A separate issue?”
Somehow, it was unsettling.
“It’s not something to gossip about outside, Your Grace. How can what clearly happened become something that didn’t happen?”
“You promised.”
“Saying it didn’t happen means just not telling anyone for now. I’ve kept that promise faithfully. And I will continue to do so.”
The ankle he was holding lightly began to feel strangely hot. It seemed as if the veins reaching out to it were carrying the heartbeat.
Hayden’s appropriately thick lips, speaking words that were smoothly dangerous, were red. Thump, thump, thump, the heartbeat was noisy, and Lou was afraid that he would notice.
“But between Your Grace and me, Lou.”
The moment that name was finally called, Lou recalled the memories of that night from his soft voice and passionate gaze, and from the hand holding her ankle.
Lou.
People applauded her downfall. All she received upon her return were cold, mocking stares, so the body warmth, the gentle warmth, the affectionate eyes she felt that night were all things she was deprived of.
“We can’t pretend it didn’t happen.”
And now, the passion burning in those gray eyes was as full as it was that night.
“Every time you look at me, remember that night.”
Your Majesty. She had to say something, but her mouth wouldn’t open.
“I always do.”
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:
