“Laclahan wants to use you to become a god again, Vercheria.”
The person who originally gave up becoming a god for her sake was Laclahan.
Yet, now he wants to become a god again and is using her.
What Lawrence said didn’t match at all.
“How did you get involved with the Absolute Deity and Lawrence?”
Vercheria breathed out a low sigh.
She had thought that the Absolute Deity was only involved with the Empress.
But now, he was reaching out to Lawrence as well.
Sending the same drink that the Empress had offered a long time ago to Lawrence again didn’t seem like an action the Absolute Deity would take at all.
It was rather strange.
Vercheria couldn’t help but notice that she wouldn’t be unaware that it was the same drink.
“Is it because Lawrence is human, and the Absolute Deity cannot intervene in human will?”
But the Absolute Deity was not such a clumsy existence.
“If that’s not the case…”
Vercheria raised her head and looked towards Laclahan’s room.
Suddenly, her heart began to beat fiercely.
She walked through the corridor without hesitation.
Whenever Vercheria moved forward, the calm weather suddenly turned fierce.
Kwakwakwak.
Lightning struck, and in between, thick rain began to pour.
“It’s probably just a coincidence.”
As desperate as Vercheria and Laclahan were, the Absolute Deity would do anything to stop them. He would probably do his best, even more so.
Just the fact that the two of them had been opposing each other for such a long time was enough to speculate.
The reason Lawrence was ordered to sow discord between Vercheria and Laclahan.
The reason to plant the seeds of anxiety between them, making them doubt each other.
Not knowing exactly what those reasons were made Vercheria’s steps irregular and hastier.
“Laclahan.”
Standing in front of his door, she urgently knocked, “Laclahan, it’s me.”
She waited for a moment, holding her breath, but all that could be heard around was the sound of rain that had just started to fall.
Vercheria reached out and opened the door.
In the darkened view, the scene inside the room slowly appeared in front of her— the body of a man lying on the bed, exposed upper body, and a woman lying next to him with disheveled brown hair.
Vercheria’s face stiffened.
“Kelita.”
What was important was not Kelita lying next to Laclahan.
Standing by the bed, looking down at them, was Gerard.
And beside him, Rioene and the guards.
Kwagwak!
Lightning struck, making their figures even more vivid.
“Hmm.”
Gerard, who had been standing and watching the two lying in bed with a burden, turned his head towards Vercheria with a serious expression.
Their eyes met in mid-air.
Having noticed her, Gerard narrowed his eyes and licked his lips with his tongue.
At that sight, Vercheria’s shoulders trembled slightly.
Kwakwak!
One of the guards rushed towards the wall and closed the half-open window.
As the sound of rain pouring into the room subsided, only silence piled up in the dark space.
“Not yet.”
It was Gerard who opened his mouth first.
He spoke with a smile on his lips, a soft voice.
“Vercheria might not know yet, but satisfying lovemaking can induce quite a deep sleep. Don’t you think so?”
As soon as Gerard finished speaking, he turned his gaze towards Rioene.
At that moment, the woman who had been standing and watching Vercheria and the two lying on the bed raised her head in surprise, then quickly responded with a sweet voice.
“Yes, of course, my Empress.”
Gerard shifted his serpent-like gaze back to Vercheria.
As if scrutinizing every nuance of Vercheria’s expression at this very moment, not missing a single detail.
“A goddess who has lived alone her entire life is bound to be ignorant of many things. How easily power or being a woman can be grasped and then discarded by men.”
Gerard motioned to the guards trying to follow him and walked towards Vercheria alone, gesturing for them to stay back.
To him, Kelita was nothing more than a useless human squandering the royal treasury. He had left her by Vercheria’s side because he didn’t want to dirty his hands with blood unnecessarily. Of course, it was also because Rioene had assured him there was no need to kill her.
Reflecting on why he hadn’t chased her away earlier, it seemed to be precisely for such a purpose now.
His sister, who had spent her entire life siphoning off the imperial treasury, was finally displaying her worth dazzlingly.
“In Pheariat, there are some very old laws. As the Emperor of the Empire, I strive to uphold those laws more definitively than anyone else. Do you understand what I mean, Vercheria?”
Gerard, with a face as cold as ice, scanned Vercheria from top to bottom.
“When an unmarried man and woman share a bed, they must either marry or die. How about that? It’s quite a splendid law, isn’t it?”
It had required numerous hardships and patience for Gerard to possess Vercheria, but every moment spent seemed more like a reward now.
He could now have Vercheria, appearing most perfect at the most perfect moment.
Smirking, Gerard turned his head to look at Rioene.
The two exchanged familiar and discreet glances.
“Do I have to believe Kelita when she says she can take Laclahan away? How many times has she failed, and now she asks me to believe her again?”
“Your Majesty. This will be the last time. Even if it fails, Your Majesty will not suffer any losses. However, if it succeeds, you will have Vercheria in your hands. Forever.”
Gerard straightened his chest.
Among the things he did after becoming the emperor, having Rioene by his side was one of the best decisions.
Just listening to Rioene talk could make even sleeping more enjoyable, so how could this not be a perfect government?
“Vercheria.”
Gerard reached out and brushed Vercheria’s cheek.
A sensation as soft and fantastical as silk seeped into his fingertips.
“I’ll give you one last chance.”
Vercheria gazed at Gerard with tranquil eyes.
He didn’t know how stimulating that gaze was for him.
“If you just obey my orders, I’ll ignore everything I see now.”
“…!”
“Of course, I won’t follow any laws either.”
Vercheria, as long as you listen to me.
Gerard’s eyes were gleaming.
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~
