As Dylan, who had just finished checking and returned, noticed Gerard and bowed, the longing for the palace seemed evident in Gerard, who usually only appeared after all preparations were complete.
“Emperor, are you coming out?”
“Is everything ready?”
“Everything is ready.”
“Good, let’s return to the palace.”
Gerard walked with quick steps towards the carriage to get on, but as a sudden thought crossed his mind, he turned back to Dylan.
“But where is Groovy?”
Dylan’s brow wrinkled ever so slightly at Gerard’s words.
It was a movement that no one would notice.
A few days ago.
On the day they returned to the castle of Lacrana with the wild dogs, Dylan noticed Groovy’s empty seat as soon as they crossed the castle gate. In fact, it would be more accurate to say that he had been aware of it all along. It must have been difficult for Groovy, with frail legs that had only lived in prison, to follow them riding on horses and a carriage.
Dylan knew but pretended not to. Considering Gerard’s already heightened sensitivity due to Vercheria’s disappearance, the situation might not have been strange even if Groovy had been killed on the spot.
‘Poor kid.’ For a few days, while carrying the child around, Dylan unknowingly felt sympathy for Groovy. It could be because he saw his own unfortunate childhood through Groovy or for some other reason. Either way, he chose to remain silent, as keeping quiet did not violate his beliefs or defy the Emperor’s orders.
“Since we haven’t seen him for several days, he probably lost his way with the wild dogs.”
“…….”
Gerard, for a moment, didn’t grasp the meaning of Dylan’s words. Then, as if it were too absurd, he burst into a bitter laugh.
“What did you just say? What? Something about dogs and what! But why are you saying it now!”
“……I thought he would come back soon.”
“This guy! Are you crazy?”
Gerard kicked Dylan’s shin without hesitation. Those who were preparing for the Emperor’s return were forced to watch the absurd scene of Gerard kicking the tall Dylan’s shins.
“Go and find him! Find him right now!”
Whether he said it or not, Gerard seemed to be on the verge of madness. Thinking about his precious treasure trove with only one empty spot, Gerard became even more furious.
Despite Vercheria’s absence, Gerard consoled himself, knowing that he had Groovy for the journey back to the palace. Of course, it would be better if he could return with Vercheria right away, but he couldn’t sit here waiting for her to return indefinitely. The North had become tiresome.
For now, he could go home and plan the next move. But Groovy was missing. Moreover, he didn’t know where he was even after several days.
“Are you telling me to go back to the palace with nothing? Is that it?”
When Gerard got angry, the people of Lacrana’s castle froze. They were worried that the crazy Emperor might not leave the North.
“Your Majesty.”
Beside the agitated Emperor, Leione approached like a snake, gently sweeping Gerard’s shoulder with her soft touch.
“Don’t be too upset. You can leave some people and go back. Eventually, you’ll find that blonde child and return to Your Majesty.”
“Is that what you call an answer?”
When the Emperor shouted, Leone’s step faltered, and she stepped back. He had never yelled at her until now.
“Your Majesty.”
At that moment.
“Please don’t be too upset. Why not leave some people behind and return? Eventually, you will find that blonde child and come back to His Majesty the Emperor.”
“Is that what you call an answer?”
As the Emperor shouted, Leone’s steps faltered, and she stepped back. He had never shouted at her before.
“Your Majesty.”
At that moment.
The sky darkened, and in an instant, as if it were a lie, the aura of protection vanished from everyone.
“……!”
Half a century ago.
Just like when the energy of Vercheria that enveloped this land evaporated.
“What’s going on!”
“What is happening!”
Something like a lie was unfolding.
At this moment, everyone had only one thought in their minds.
‘What happened to Vercheria and the Duke!’
Whoosh
And as if waiting, cheerful trumpet sounds echoed, signaling that the gate to the Castle of Lacrana was opening.
“Who is it? Could it be the Duke himself?”
“Who dares to enter without permission? Is it really the Duke?”
Everyone looked at the gate with bewildered expressions.
And then, just as if waiting, a lively trumpet sound rang out.
Finally, the moment the guest’s figure appeared.
Everyone, including Gerard, froze in disbelief.
Lacrana, Vercheria, and even Groovy.
All three were walking towards them.
It was the return of the Lord of the North.
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:
