Ending The Extra Villainess's Unrequited Love! (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 2
Diana, who had been tossing and turning in bed, finally sat up.
“I just can’t stop worrying about it.”
She slipped out of the mansion, avoiding the sentry’s gaze.
She grazed her ankle slightly while climbing a tree, but her skill was worthy of an 80 out of 100.
Even before her regression, Diana had been adept at tree-climbing.
‘Is this what you’d call muscle memory?’ She’d had to sneak out of the castle secretly, dodging guards, just to enjoy dates with Raoul disguised as chance encounters.
At first, she’d climbed clumsily and twisted her ankle often, but each time she limped through the woods with her sore foot, Raoul would appear—as if by coincidence.
“I told you not to come.”
He frowned and sighed, yet he could never leave the young girl wandering alone on dark paths.
“Do you want to die just because of me?”
His words were cold and sharp, yet his actions were so gentle they made her heart flutter.
Though only Diana chattered away excitedly, being carried on his back toward the castle made her feel as if she owned the whole world.
“You’ll come get me again next time… right?”
“It was just another accidental meeting today.”
His reply was always curt, but back then, Diana was still young.
She believed his kindness was genuine—and wanted to believe it.
‘It was foolish thinking…’
The two had drifted irrevocably apart around the age of thirteen.
That was also when the original story began—precisely when the female protagonist, Ayla, was captured and brought to the duke’s estate.
Diana had been at her worst back then, threatening to report Raoul to her father to prevent his meetings with Ayla.
〈Why are you with me?〉
〈Where do you go every day…? I want to go with you too….〉
〈It’s not a place you should come with me.〉
〈But I’m a noble princess. Is there anywhere inside the estate I can’t go…?〉
〈I don’t owe you an explanation for everything. Just go back already.〉
She clung to Raoul relentlessly, interfering between him and the pitiful heroine, earning the readers’ fury.
Even if she hadn’t known better at the time, her actions had been childish and inconsiderate.
In the original story, Diana was a selfish brat—and she herself admitted it.
Recalling that dark past, Diana lowered her breathing and glanced around.
Through the trees, the slave detention camp began to come into view in the distance.
Whenever Raoul felt stifled, he would head into the forest to gaze at the moon.
Since it was his first night back at the estate, Diana was certain he’d appear tonight as usual.
She wrapped her distinctive black hair and face tightly with a long cloth.
Everyone in this world had colorful hair.
Black hair was not only conspicuous but also considered ominous, so there was no benefit in revealing it.
‘This way, no one will recognize me.’
She intended only to quickly hand him the healing ointment and leave.
But then, unexpected commotion sounded from behind the slave camp.
“You’ve lost your mind! If you go out now, you’ll die!”
“If there’s a chance, why stay locked up like this?”
“If you defy the Duke, you’ll die! We’re bound by an invisible curse!”
“…I’d rather die beside my family.”
A man who appeared to be a Dwarf began climbing the wall after the argument.
‘No…!’
Diana pressed herself against a tree and watched the scene unfold.
“That idiot! With that body, there’s no way he’ll make it…!”
The slaves bore a curse placed upon them by her father.
‘Absolute Obedience.’
Unless granted permission by her father, they couldn’t take a single step beyond the estate walls.
‘The guards aren’t even posted because the curse is that powerful… Haven’t they heard the rumors?’
It was the same curse that nearly killed Raoul when he first transformed into a full-fledged Lycan.
Just as the man reached out beyond the wall, Diana, hiding behind the tree, could no longer hold back and rushed forward.
“Get down right now! You’ll die if you go out!”
Her intention was to stop him, but startled by her sudden appearance, the man climbed even more frantically.
No!
“I’m not here to report you! You’ll really die if you keep this up…!”
At the exact moment the man, ignoring her completely in his frenzy, stretched his hand beyond the wall—
His neck began burning away, accompanied by thick black smoke.
“Grrk… aaaaaah… aaaaah…!”
‘I am Arnel’s loyal hound.’
As the mark seared into his flesh, the man’s neck twisted in agony.
At this rate, his entire body would soon be covered in the curse’s brand, and he’d waste away in torment until death.
Horrified, Diana grabbed her hair in despair.
“Do something—quick!”
The Join Tribe man, who had been panicking helplessly, immediately changed form at Diana’s sharp command.
Just as he sprouted wings near the wall, the Dwarf, dangling precariously, collapsed backward as if fainting.
Fortunately, he landed on the back of a friend waiting below and avoided serious injury—but he seemed unconscious.
Diana hurried to their side.
“Just a moment…!”
She generously smeared fairy herb ointment onto the unconscious man’s neck.
It had been meant for Raoul, but this was no time to be picky.
“Luckily the wound isn’t deep, so it won’t scar.”
Thanks to her generous application, the mark left by the curse visibly faded.
Diana sank down with a sigh of relief.
As she wiped her sweat with the cloth covering her face and caught her breath, the Join Tribe man cautiously spoke.
“But… who are you?”
Even wrapped in a plain lace nightgown and a thick robe, she couldn’t hide her well-groomed nails or her delicate fragrance.
The man’s gaze turned sharp. A cold sweat broke out on her back.
“Judging by your appearance… you must be someone important… Could you possibly be the noble princess? I heard the Duke has a young daughter…”
His ambiguous and awkward question left her uneasy.
Diana rose slowly without answering—but things didn’t go smoothly.
“…You damn noble wench…!”
The man on the ground suddenly shot up and seized Diana’s wrist with bone-crushing force.
“L-Let go of me!”
She twisted her wrist desperately, but the difference in strength was too great.
“What are you doing? Are you going to let the hostage escape?”
Snapped out of his daze by his friend’s scolding, the other man reached toward Diana.
With both arms pinned, she faced certain capture.
Aaah!
With a sharp scream, the strong hand gripping her lost its strength.
A young wolf, appearing from nowhere, had latched onto his arm.
Diana stood frozen, mouth agape—until the wolf shifted form and seized her wrist.
“Run!”
Her knees straightened, and her legs moved on their own.
The boy sprinted ahead, dragging Diana along like a floppy paper doll.
Feeling the cold air fill her lungs, Diana gazed at the boy’s back as he ran before her.
Behind his silver hair fluttering in the wind, the full moon hung like a painting.
This can’t be real.
The warmth of his body—felt for the first time in so long—made Diana feel as if she were dreaming.
They stopped deep in the forest. Catching her breath, she looked up to find they were near a frozen lake.
The rustling of dry leaves filled the silence between them.
Raoul.
His face, seen up close after so long, was strikingly different from her memories.
His deep blue eyes remained the same, but the lines of his features around them had grown softer.
Moreover, under the moonlight, their eye levels were nearly equal.
He was no longer the towering Lycan she’d always had to look up at with a craned neck.
“Are you all right?”
Still staring blankly at him, Diana finally snapped out of her daze.
“Ah… yeah! Th-thank you so much for saving me…!”
She stammered out a foolish-sounding thanks in her fluster.
Trying to readjust the cloth covering her face, her hands kept missing their mark.
Hm?
She fumbled at her cheeks, but the cloth was nowhere to be found.
“It flew away in the wind earlier. Was it important?”
Only then did Diana realize her face was fully exposed.
“Oh, it’s… not that important…”
She tried covering herself with her hands, but it was useless.
Raoul scrutinized Diana’s face revealed under the moonlight as if carefully examining it.
Unsure whether his intense gaze signaled suspicion or curiosity, she fidgeted helplessly—until she noticed her right hand felt unusually heavy.
“What’s that?”
Ah—Diana finally noticed the medicine vial she’d unconsciously brought along.
“Oh, this… it’s ointment…”
“Ointment?”
“Yeah… I saw a lot of injured people during the day…”
“So you brought this for them?”
“…Yeah. Aren’t you hurt too? There’s blood on your back…”
Lost in the dreamlike moment, she’d almost failed to notice his swollen back.
She’d assumed it wasn’t serious since he’d stood right away, but blood was clearly trickling down in the shape of a whip.
‘How much it must have hurt…’
The thought left a bitter taste in her mouth.
“Shall I apply it for you?”
Her mouth always got her into trouble.
But right now, she just wanted to treat him quickly.
They were alone in the forest, and there was no one else to help him.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
