Meanwhile, Challen, despite warmly greeting and conversing with acquaintances from other countries he hadn’t seen in a while, couldn’t fully concentrate on his surroundings. His head kept turning towards Kasalyn and Parnes. Maybe it was just his imagination, but as time passed, it seemed like the two were getting closer together, which made him feel strangely uncomfortable.

‘Why?’

Why did it feel so nauseating just seeing those two together? For Challen, who had always lived lightly, going with the flow and following his heart, this sensation was incredibly foreign.

One thing, however, was clear to him: He couldn’t let Kasalyn continue to flirt with Parnes, as it might tarnish the honor of the Khan Royal Family. At least, that’s what Challen believed.

With a decided look, he pushed away the hand of Rose, who was holding his.

“Your Majesty?”

“I have something to tell Kasalyn. Sorry, but please stay here for a moment.”

“Me? Alone?”

In the Renel Empire, unlike the Khan Kingdom, it was inconceivable for a husband to leave his wife alone in a social setting of another country.

Rose looked baffled and shocked, but her question was lost amid the lively music, unheard by Challen.

Challen quickly crossed the grand ballroom and reached Kasalyn without a moment’s hesitation, taking her hand as if it were the most natural thing to do.

“Your Majesty?”

Kasalyn looked up at Challen, surprised.

However, Challen didn’t care about her feelings or thoughts. His eyes were fixed firmly on Parnes across from him.

“Sorry to interrupt, but I can’t let ‘my maid’ cause any more trouble. Enjoy the rest of the ball. Let’s go, Kasalyn.”

“How rude,” Parnes said with a voice that seemed to scrape the bottom of a deep well, momentarily sending a chill down Challen’s spine.

Despite his imposing demeanor, Challen reflexively hunched his shoulders but soon regained his composure, not wanting to appear weak in front of Kasalyn.

“Do I need permission to take our maid with me?”

“If you were going to care for her so diligently, you should have done so from the entrance. Ridiculing a woman for such trivial reasons. Right?”

Parnes murmured just loud enough for Challen to hear, but not loud enough for others.

Unable to think of a retort, Challen changed the subject.

“Your words seem a bit harsh. Am I mistaken?”

“No, you’re not mistaken. I only treat sane people sanely.”

“What do you mean?”

“I treat this girl more sensibly than you or your queen because she is far more admirable than a petty man who can’t stand not tormenting a poor maid, or a puppet who only knows how to put on makeup.”

Challen’s face twisted in disgust at the blatant insult.

This comment deeply wounded his last shred of pride. He made a mistake he would never have made under normal circumstances.

“You better be careful. I won’t always hold back!”

As he raised his voice, the smooth orchestra music abruptly stopped. The dancing guests halted and turned to look at them in surprise.
In that moment, Challen felt a profound sense of failure, having lost control of his emotions to Parnes’s provocation. Parnes, usually calm and composed, had now taken on a menacing air, reminiscent of a demonic beast.

Contrary to his fearsome reputation, Parnes was known to let most things slide. He was well aware of the impact his words and gestures could have. Despite his naturally aggressive nature, he had managed to keep his ferocity in check, except when it came to challenges against his authority.

“If you refuse to hold back, then I welcome it,” Parnes said quietly, looking down at Challen with a voice as deep and primal as a beast’s.

Kasalyn, sensing that leaving the two men alone might lead to trouble, reluctantly grasped Parnes’s arm.

“Your Majesty, please calm down.”

His muscle, prominent under the sleeve, twitched at her touch. Parnes looked down at Kasalyn with his large eyes, and after a brief pause, he let out a soft sigh, slowly softening his expression.

This seemed to calm the tension somewhat, but Kasalyn realized it wasn’t good for her to stay between these two men. She politely excused herself to Parnes and quickly made her way through the crowd to the lower ballroom, as if escaping.

However, Challen seemed intent on not giving her a moment alone. “If you’re going to run away, you should have returned my coat first,” he said, following her down the marble stairs.

Only then did Kasalyn feel the weight of the heavy coat on her shoulders and sighed, turning her head away.

“I was just about to return it to you. And you know why I had to run away,” she replied, clutching the coat, which exuded a warm, sensual fragrance, much like its owner. She tried to walk past Challen.

Challen, without looking back, reached out and firmly grabbed Kasalyn’s wrist. “Stop. There’s no point in going now. Many ladies are eager for Emperor Parnes’s attention tonight.”

“…Fine, will you let go of my hand now?”

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:
