Reynald was momentarily dumbfounded by the unfolding situation. How those contracts, made between him and Miley, ended up in the First Prince’s hands was beyond his comprehension.
“Why are those in my brother’s possession…”
He started to speak but then remembered his servant’s story from dawn, causing his jaw muscles to tense up.
His mouth refused to move.
“…Miley’s servant had a direct conversation with the First Prince.”
That must have been when the contracts were handed over. Apparently, Miley hadn’t just left for his mansion after leaving him in a mess earlier that morning.
Reynald’s face paled as he glanced at Miley, whose blue eyes brimmed with ease and superiority.
Not just ease.
His eyes said it all.
‘You’re finished.’
Sweat trickled down Reynald’s back. Clueless about how to extricate himself from this predicament, he watched helplessly as the First Prince stepped forward to confront him.
The First Prince, seemingly protective of Laila, gestured for her to stand behind him and addressed Reynald.
“Reynald, as you know, the alliance with Wessex is quite important to us. And yet, you’ve treated the princess in such a manner…”
‘Are you insane?’
The question wasn’t voiced, but the First Prince’s eyes conveyed it clearly. Reynald looked around, noticing that the once merely curious guests had begun to sense something serious as the First Prince had intervened.
Reynald felt paralyzed under their pointed gazes.
‘What the hell did he say?’
He was trapped in a quandary, unsure of what pitfall he’d stumbled into, rendering him unable to even make an excuse. He attempted to speak anyway.
“I’m not sure what you’ve been told, but Princess Wessex and Duke Miley are lying. Those two… they must have conspired somehow.”
As Reynald mentioned Miley, the gathered nobles started looking around, wondering who he was, and the First Prince turned to look at Miley.
Miley then stood up, gesturing to himself and tilting his head.
“Your Highness accuses me of lying, which I find quite troubling. If you could clarify what lies you’re referring to, I’d be happy to clear things up.”
“…”
“If it’s about these contracts, weren’t you the one, Prince Reynald, who wrote them? You even bit your finger to make an impression with your blood.”
Reynald twitched his hand, recalling how he’d indeed injured his right index finger.
As the atmosphere in the engagement hall turned increasingly chaotic, the King of Filmer finally stood up, drawing everyone’s attention.
“Quiet, everyone.”
He walked up to the center stage.
Laila, Reynald, and the First Prince, who had been in front, all looked up at the King.
The King then turned to Miley.
“Duke Miley of Harkin, as a principal actor in this matter, please come forward.”
Lilburn, standing beside him, frowned slightly, but Miley complied, walking towards where the King, Laila, and the others were.
The King first addressed Laila.
“Now, esteemed Princess of Wessex, please elaborate on what you said earlier.”
Laila took a deep breath, intentionally avoiding looking at either Miley or Reynald, fearing she might show her agitation.
“Respected King of Filmer.”
She stepped forward to begin her narrative.
“Despite not being married yet, Reynald Filmer, the seventh prince of your kingdom, not only last night but also previously, has attempted to violate me, Laila Wessex, the Princess of Wessex, on several occasions. And yesterday, he forced me to go to Duke Miley here, instructing me to fulfill my duties as a future wife.”
Feeling surprisingly calm after pouring out her tensions before entering the engagement hall, Laila spoke with composure. Reynald immediately tried to counter her statement.
“No, Your Majesty, I assure you, I have never laid a finger on the Princess of Wessex. And sending her to Duke Miley… What nonsense, Laila… How could you accuse me of such things?”
Despite being mere attempts, Reynald firmly denied it, thinking Laila’s accusations were too far-fetched as nothing actually transpired between them.
However, the problem was that none of the three people standing beside him were his allies.
Hearing Reynald’s words, Miley, with a twisted smile, stepped forward to support Laila.
“Your Majesty, I personally witnessed an instance where Princess Laila Wessex was almost violated. And I wasn’t the only one there; servants of the seventh prince were present as well. Fortunately, with the help of the First Prince, we were able to identify those witnesses.”
The King’s gaze towards Reynald cooled upon hearing this, but he did not elaborate further yet.
“Is that so?”
In response to the King’s indirect request to bring forth the servants, the First Prince pointed out George, Reynald’s servant.
“George, you need to come forward and speak the truth.”
Called upon by the First Prince, George hesitantly walked to the front, bowing his head in shame before the King.
“I apologize, Your Majesty. I couldn’t prevent the Prince’s misconduct…”
“George!”
Startled by his servant’s confession, Reynald called out, but George, trembling, revealed more.
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.
