Perhaps the most burning question she had.
As Kasalin unexpectedly brought up the main point, Shalen suddenly fell silent.
“Why can’t you speak? Were you already intimately involved with Rose before you announced our annulment?”
“How dare you, a lowly maid, speak such insolence…!”
Shalen, who had been calm until then, suddenly became authoritarian.
See? Just a moment ago, he was all about how they could be informal, but the moment things turned against him, he immediately resorted to his authority as king.
Disgusted with him yet realizing she too couldn’t completely shed her past habits, Kasalin noticed a few servants approaching from behind. Shalen, realizing this, coughed to save face and stepped back.
Why hadn’t she realized it before?
That he was irritable, impulsive, and a low-quality man who resorted to violence easily.
Why did she devote ten obedient years to such trash, giving him everything precious to her?
“……I might as well set things straight.”
Shalen approached, still carrying a faint scent of soap, and said, “The queen possesses a healthy body and mind, a benevolent and humble nature, and a not bad reputation – a truly exceptional woman. It was after much deliberation that I chose her, deeming her fully qualified to be queen.”
“…….”
“So, please don’t further tarnish our pure and noble relationship with such absurd fantasies. If you overstep your bounds again, you will be punished.”
Pure and noble relationship.
For the love of God, that’s the one thing that needs to be true.
If it turns out that he was involved with Rose while engaged to her, it would be unforgivable, even in death.
“Understood. Now go and attend to Rose. Separating personal and professional matters is what you do best, isn’t it?”
Shalen shot a parting glance, then walked past without looking back. His eyes seemed to say, ‘You are nothing more than your sister’s maid.’
“This is all wrong.”
Rose, sitting at her desk in the office, flicked through the mountain of documents and complained, “How can I be expected to handle so much official business right after the coronation? Where are my celebratory banquets? The chocolate fountains and lavish parties?”
Apparently, she had grand illusions about royal life and couldn’t accept the current situation.
Kasalin sighed and forced a pen into her hand, “Stop whining and start reviewing the documents.”
“But I don’t understand any of this.”
“What don’t you understand?”
“All of it, from here to here. Everything.”
Kasalin couldn’t comprehend Rose’s difficulty.
The reports were straightforward, and it seemed the administrative department had intentionally compiled only the simplest tasks, considering Rose’s inexperience.
“It’s not just about stamping your approval. You have to assess if the issues warrant it. Look, this report is about changes to trade routes…….”
As Kasalin began to explain, pointing at the document with her pen, Rose’s eyes, often described as innocently naive, sparkled more intensely.
“Um, sister. I’m really sorry, but could you do it just this once? Shalen asked to see me today.”
“…….”
“I know, I don’t want to ask you either, but I have no choice. I can’t refuse his request. I’ll try to manage it myself next time, I promise.”
“Rose. A maid is not someone who does the queen’s work for her. If you’re the mistress of the royal household, you should handle your responsibilities yourself. Even if it means staying up all night.”
As Kasalin tried to teach her irresponsible sister, an unfamiliar arrogance and annoyance briefly flitted across Rose’s face.
Fine, humans can get annoyed, but for a fleeting moment, she seemed utterly baffled as to why a maid was instructing the queen.
Before Kasalin could contemplate where this sudden display of emotion originated, someone entered the room, exacerbating the situation.
“What’s going on here? Who is giving orders to whom?”
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~
