“No, that’s not it…… Sob……”
“Did I push you too hard in the early stages of exercise?”
“No, that’s not it, Madam……”
“Since you’re here, go get a checkup.”
“Huh?”
Atia looked at her and smirked.
“Your once short hamstring has relaxed a lot.”
Atia, who was checking on Kesha’s physical condition, looked at her from here and there as she said it.
Kesha, lying flat on the floor as Atia directed, was extremely happy at this moment.
If I knew this would happen, I would have served the lady better when she first came.
I never imagined we would become this close.
“This is a point where a lot of toxins accumulate.”
“Ah!”
When Atia pressed the hollow areas beneath both ears, Kesha screamed.
“Here too.”
“Keehaak!”
“Here too.”
“Uhup!”
Everywhere she pressed, Kesha writhed.
“Kesha, your toxins are really piled up.”
“Is, is that so?”
“If it’s like this even after I loosened it up a bit, your body is not okay. You’ll feel tired quickly and your eyes will easily feel heavy.”
“Highak!”
Atia pressed on various parts of Kesha’s body.
“If you don’t take care of our body, it becomes a lump of toxins. Then you’re bound to get sick. Don’t you want to live a long and healthy life, now that you’re born?”
“Yes…… Yes, Agkiak!”
“Only when toxins are expelled does your complexion become clear and makeup goes on well.”
“Urruk!”
“Taking care of your body affects everything in our lives.”
“Horororuah!”
Kesha twisted her body, making stranger and stranger noises.
Even her screams seemed to evolve.
[This is the time separator]Meanwhile.
Casus was immersed in thought all the way down from the mountains.
Atia of the Harad family.
Who exactly was she?
Thinking about it, all he knew about her was that she was a daughter of the Harad family.
It was a forced marriage.
Even so, she was his wife by registry.
Casus realized he knew far too little about his wife.
Only her name, age, and family.
Other than that, he knew nothing.
He had never asked out of curiosity nor had he shown any interest.
But unlike him who jumped into the lake without thinking today to save someone, she calmly told him what to do and how to solve it.
Things even he didn’t know.
Usually, people would be rolling their feet or just watching.
If it weren’t for Atia, he might have sunk to the cold lake floor with Leo by now.
Leo’s impulsive action was that dangerous.
She brought Leo back to life, even after he had stopped breathing.
Effectively, he owed his life and his brother’s life to her.
Given the situation, it wouldn’t have been strange if she, the daughter of the Harad family who are Duke of Wellington and Iron Wall Commanders, had left him to die then.
Why did she save us?
It was a chance to kill.
Thinking about it, there were not one or two strange things about Atia.
She does not falter even in unexpected situations.
She calmly comes up with solutions.
As if she knew what to do in that situation.
‘How…… how does she know all that?’
Casus began to wonder about her for the first time.
‘Should I visit her room?’
Casus fell into deep thought.
But it bothered him to visit her room without any purpose.
The last time he went to Atia’s room, it was because his father had gone into the guest room alone.
Casus lingered in his room for a long time.
What should be the first thing to say?
Should I ask how he managed to tame Cerberus?
Whether there was a trick to playing with a highlevel magic beast from the hands of a human in one day.
“No, that looks too out of place.”
Or should I casually ask about the southern region where he lived?
How different it was from this northern region.
‘Are you going to ask that after a year?’
Casus put his hand on his forehead.
He might be great at war or territory management, but he was a germ in this field.
No matter how much he thought, he couldn’t come up with a suitable method.
Casus pondered for quite a while.
About what words to bring up, how to say them.
He finally reached a conclusion.
‘Why am I worrying about such a thing?’
Casus found himself comically serious about such a thing.
He put on the coat he had draped over his chair.
Without realizing it, he walked at a fast pace.
Until he ran into Heidegger in the corridor.
Two men of good character met in the corridor.
When Heidegger and Casus stopped, even the spacious corridor of the duke’s mansion seemed to shrink in an instant.
“Your Highness…….”
“Hmm.”
“Is there something the matter.”
Heidegger always made that expression and awkwardly cleared his throat when something was going on.
There must be something happening.
Heidegger, after briefly looking at Casus, opened his mouth.
“Would it be okay if I stay here a bit longer?”
“……”
Casus tried to read his father’s intention.
Heidegger never, never did anything without a reason.
That he said he would stay here meant there was something significant.
In fact, it was comfortable for Casus if Heidegger was here.
Because the parts that needed to be taken care of greatly decreased.
“Do as you please.”
“Thank you.”
Heidegger in his way, Casus in his way, both seemed in a hurry.
“Where are you rushing off to?”
“Huh?”
Casus couldn’t respond and just stared at Heidegger’s face.
The words saying he was going to the duchess’s room couldn’t come out of his mouth.
Seeing Casus’s confused look, Heidegger cleared his throat again.
“No, I asked a needless question. Continue on your way.”
It was an awkward situation for both.
Their relationship was awkward to begin with, but it was even more so in the current situation.
Their brief conversation ended abruptly.
Casus passed by the portraits hung on the corridor walls.
Portraits of himself, Heidegger, and their previous ancestors.
With a flat nose,
Sharp eyes and sharp chin line,
They were all incredibly handsome men.
The handsome genes of the Wellington family had been on the rise since Heidegger’s time.
This was passed on directly to Casus and Leo.
Even after hundreds of years, people would rush to buy the portraits.
Casus passed the portraits, climbed the stairs, and walked down the corridor again.
Eventually, he arrived in front of Atia’s room.
Though it was his own mansion, it was quite large and he had rarely visited where Atia was.
Cleanly arranged vases were neatly placed in the corridor.
Casus looked around the area.
For where the duchess lived, it seemed small.
The location wasn’t great either.
He hadn’t properly looked around when he visited before.
It was only after a year that such minor things came into his sight.
Casus cleared his throat and knocked on the door to Atia’s room.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Now that he arrived, he was nervous.
He thought he would be okay.
After a moment, a maid opened the door in her stead.
Oddly enough, the maid was drenched in sweat.
From her head to her entire face.
As if she had been hit by rain or fallen into water, she was like a soaked rat.
And she seemed to be trying her best to hold her heavy breathing.
Because of this, her breathing was very unnatural.
“Er, Your Highness……. Haah…….”
“Where is the Duchess?”
When Casus asked, the maid opened the door a little more.
Something quickly moved in the gap of the door.
“She’s……uhm……exercising right now.”
“What?”
“Uhm……Uhuntoong…….”
Frustrated, Casus forcefully swung open the halfopen door.
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~
