Like a stone, Tesmillion’s still figure seemed to scream with his whole body not to approach him.
His frame was still massive, but his back looked somehow frail. I felt a loneliness and solitude that I couldn’t see last time.
His white hair was weakly swayed by the wind. Because of that, Tesmillion looked like a silver ash left alone after a fire.
What is he thinking so deeply about?
Is he reflecting on the glory of the past?
Or his lost family and tribes?
What would it feel like to lose everything, family and honor, after being at the peak of power? I couldn’t gauge it.
Perhaps the reason Tesmillion didn’t come to find Rodrigo wasn’t simply a lack of interest, I had a feeling.
I also leaned against the mansion’s stone wall and stared at the sky Tesmillion was looking at for a long time.
Before I knew it, the sky brightened. The dim sun appeared beyond the heavy clouds.
Smoke rose from the mansion. It looked like they had begun preparing breakfast. Finally, Tesmillion got up from his seat.
Then, moving slowly again like a ghost, he went to the library.
Having missed the chance to speak, I couldn’t stop him from going inside.
“I can get up early tomorrow too. I did it today, so why couldn’t I do it tomorrow? Yawn. I’m sleepy to death.”
But the next day, and the day after, it wasn’t easy to talk to him. Anyone would have felt the same way about Tesmillion in the morning.
It was about a week after unintentionally stalking Tesmillion.
As usual, Tesmillion sat on the bench and quietly looked at the sky, and I secretly leaned against the corner.
Due to a few nights of little sleep, my eyelids kept falling. My head wobbled involuntarily. At that moment, a shadow loomed over my closed eyes. Feeling an ominous premonition, I opened my eyes.
Tesmillion was standing right in front of me, looking down at me. The earlier loneliness and sadness were gone, and he looked like a terrifying beast.
“Uh……. Good morning.”
“Why are you following me?”
“Did you know? I didn’t have any bad intentions, I just had something to tell you…….”
I smiled and awkwardly scratched my head.
“If you follow me one more time, know that you will be thrown out of this mansion.”
Tesmillion turned around.
Eh? That’s not it. Normally when someone says they have something to tell you, don’t they say ‘Let’s hear it out.’?
In a split second of hesitation, I jumped up and grabbed Tesmillion’s hand.
He said he would throw me out if I follow him again, but he didn’t say he would if I grab him now!
“What are you doing now?”
Looking at the hand caught in mine, anger rose in Tesmillon’s face.
But I tightly grasped that wrinkled hand with both of mine.
“If you follow me one more time, you said you’d kick me out, so I have to tell you now.”
“What is it?”
“Your Grace. You know that Roderio has awakened, right? Roderio Artigrado, your grandson.”
“I know. Are you holding me like this just to tell me that?”
“Just? Roderio waking up is not something to be dismissed as ‘just.’ You saw it that day. He almost went to the gates of the underworld. It’s such a miracle and a blessing.”
“So what do you want to say?”
“Roderio is waiting for you very much.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s Grandfather Tesmillon Artigrado, Your Grace.”
Tesmillon furrowed his brow as if he didn’t understand the meaning of my words.
“I have no thought to hear such useless words.”
His anger exploded.
Roderio’s heart and wounds were too large to be dismissed as ‘just’ and ‘such useless words.’
“How can you say that? If you knew how much Roderio wants your love and attention…”
“How weak.”
“Weak?”
I doubted my ears.
His tiny grandson, who had died and come back to life, was waiting for him, and that’s weak?
I felt my nostrils getting slowly hot.
“Your Grace, I’m a guest, so I tried not to speak ill, but really, you’ve gone too far. I knew you were neglecting Roderio before, but he almost died, and now you’re saying that as long as he’s alive, it doesn’t matter how sad or how hard it is?”
“You’re reckless.”
“Yes, reckless, but I have to say what I have to say. Your Grace, you don’t have an ounce of responsibility or love that an adult and guardian should have! That’s why Idrish and Roderio grew up twisted like this!”
“What?”
“That’s right! If you had given love abundantly, would Idrish have become an evil villain who would burn the world? Pirolong ppippappara?”
Oh, shoot, why can’t I speak again?
So, would Idrish have become a villain who set the world on fire?
I quickly turned away, distancing myself from Tesmillon. It seemed like Tesmillon remained standing there for a while, but I didn’t look back.
Did I go too far? It is someone else’s family matter.
But still. Child neglect is abuse, too! What’s so hard about visiting a little kid living in the same house while being cooped up in the library all day!
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:
