Duke, This Will Sting for a Moment (30 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 106
When the noise outside the Imperial Palace grew louder, the Emperor personally escorted me through a secret passage all the way to the exit leading outside.
Justin stepped in front of me, looking deeply reluctant, his cheeks flushed pink as he gave a shy smile.
“Solace. Why didn’t you tell me? My cravat that wrapped your wounded feet—I heard from Sharona, the woman who managed your household, that you cherished it more than a military medal. That you kept it in a jewel box and took it out often to look at?”
Seeing his honeyed blue eyes crinkle sweetly beneath long golden lashes made me sigh involuntarily.
“Do you even know how my heart ached when I saw that cravat? Like my heart… was being shredded by a rusty rake. You held me so dear… yet I… killed you. I’m sorry. Truly sorry.”
“Will you stop?”
“Solace. I just wanted to give you the very best I could offer. I thought the seat beside me—the Empress’s throne—would suit you.”
“Your Majesty, I ask nothing of you. Just answer me one thing. Flama—was it you who turned her into a cursed blade?”
“If you wish, I’ll even hand you the throne itself. I mean it. Or shall I pass the crown to Lewis instead? Is that what you want, Solace?”
The Emperor’s eyes, brimming with clear tears, sparkled with an eerie heat.
“Yes. That sounds perfect. If only you’d come back to me—if we could return to how things once were, I’d need nothing else. You’d be happier too, spared from all this tiresome political strife and bloody wars. The people you care about wouldn’t have to die.”
“Your Majesty, you’re astonishingly, consistently selfish, aren’t you? After killing me and breaking my holy sword, the least you could do is give me a proper answer—it’s only polite.”
At my sarcasm, the Emperor burst into laughter as if I’d told him the most amusing joke.
“Solace. Solace. If single-minded devotion counts for anything, is there anyone who matches you?”
“What?”

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~
