In other words, he was suggesting to use his ability to break the floor and look for a star fragment.
“No.”
Riche, who understood his intention, shook her head. In her arms was a mirror she had picked up from a bookshelf earlier.
“Yan said so. It would be troublesome if it got scratched.”
“That’s an incredibly valuable thing in the human world, isn’t it? Let’s break just one floor tile. I’ll get it out!”
“Only if you can restore it. If not, no.”
“There’s nothing I can do about that, Contractor. My ability is specialized for battle. But, eh? Even if the floor breaks, it will be hidden by other objects!”
Unfortunately, Pythos had the ability to destroy, but not to restore.
If it couldn’t be perfectly restored, it was better not to touch it at all.
Riche strongly opposed even after several persuasions, and Pythos grumbled with a snort.
“Why is this tiny contractor so unambitious!”
He had a reason to feel regretful.
Judging by the energy of the star he sensed, it was a fragment of a midlevel star in his lifetime.
Whatever ability comes out, it would be a useful ability.
[Excuse me.]“No, still no.”
[Can you hear me?]“I heard, but what can’t be done can’t be done.”
Riche habitually replied, then felt a doubt.
It was a voice heard with ears, not in the head, but Pythos’s mouth hadn’t moved at all.
Who am I talking to right now?
It seemed Pythos had the same doubt, and he opened his mouth, blinking his eyes that matched with Riche’s.
“……I didn’t say anything?”
The atmosphere suddenly turned strange, and goosebumps ran down their spines.
[Excuse me.]The voice came again. It was the mirror.
“Uh, ugh!”
Startled, Riche dropped the mirror she was holding.
From the mirror that fell and flipped on the floor, a creepy and ominous sound was heard.
(This is a time separator.)
“Huh, you came out early today?”
Yan spoke to Deon, who was coming out of his private library.
Usually, Deon wouldn’t come out for several hours, but this time it wasn’t even an hour.
“Just.”
Deon glanced around the lobby and asked.
“……Who’s this?”
“Miss Riche? She’s in the library.”
“Still?”
Choosing a picture book takes so long.
Deon confidently moved towards the second door. Children’s books were usually kept there.
Behind Deon, Yan rose from the lobby desk and said,
“She went to the third library. The one that used to be the personal library of the former lord.”
“The third?”
Deon paused and furrowed his brows.
The third, so there was a reason she was late.
‘That place is full of weird things.’
The Lodwik family had started coming out into the open since the former lord. Before that, they had been more involved in the shadows as an assassin family.
The library Riche had entered was filled with the former lord’s maniacal collections gathered from those shadows.
“How is she going to find children’s books in there?”
Deon grumbled as if he were an adult.
Yan looked at Deon’s retreating figure and smiled silently.
She’s really fond of Miss Riche.
“Hey, mutt. There’s nothing for you to see here, so move along.”
Deon opened the door to the library and spoke inward.
Whoosh.
A small figure came running toward the opened door from inside.
“Oh, Brother!”
With sparkling silver hair and round silver eyes, it was Liche.
Liche, who had run to him, hugged Deon’s waist with a face full of fear.
Deon’s red eyes widened in surprise.
“Hey, what’s wrong?!”
To Deon’s urgent question, Liche closed her eyes and cried out with tears welling up.
“Gh, gh, ghost!”
“What?”
“Ghost!”
What is she saying? A spy, I could understand, but a ghost?
Deon looked at Liche’s trembling forehead, then turned his gaze inward.
She had come running so desperately, he thought something might be chasing her, but the library was quiet.
“There’s nothing there.”
“It’s there!”
Liche shouted.
‘So noisy.’
It seemed better to leave this place. Frowning, Deon took a step forward, Liche clinging to him like a baby koala.
“Miss Liche, are you all right?”
She then lifted her head at the sound of Yan’s voice coming their way.
“Yan, I’m sorry. I touched something, but I’ll tell Father myself…! But Yan, you mustn’t touch that! Gh, gh, ghost!”
“What?”
“Hey, just carry her.”
Annoyed, Deon unhooked the whimpering Liche from his waist and hoisted her onto his back.
“My Lord, the young lady…”
“Leave it. Don’t tell Father. I’ll take care of it.”
Yan nodded his head.
With the frightened Liche on his back, Deon left the library.
(This is a time separator.)
“…….”
In a grand, quiet hallway of a mansion.
A blond boy, about 7 or 8 years old, closed a door in a secluded place and came out into the corridor.
He was dressed like a young noble lord.
Despite an unwell complexion, his handsome features shone.
The boy coughed and walked down the corridor.
“My Lord!”
A woman with a tinkling voice called the boy to a stop.
She was a maid working in the mansion.
“You didn’t take your medicine.”
The maid stood in front of the boy, her steps possibly threatening.
Above her wellshaped eyebrows, golden eyes looked up at her.
“I feel fine today, so…….”
“The Duke has instructed you to take your medicine every day.”
With a firm tone, the maid cut off the boy’s words.
Then she extended her hand, holding a bottle of medicine towards him.
“Take this. Today’s medicine.”
“…….”
He hesitated to reach for the bottle, familiar with its smell, but finally accepted it.
He had been frail since childhood. Though he took the medicine daily to cure his chronic illness, he felt as if his body got worse whenever he took it.
“I don’t want to take it today…….”
“Take it.”
Her adamant attitude seemed to ignore his words entirely.
Reluctantly, the boy took the bottle.
The medicine flowed down his throat. To forget its bitter taste, he brought other thoughts to mind.
‘Who was it?’
The mirror, one of his mother’s heirlooms, reflected nothing.
From time to time, the boy would enter the room where the heirlooms were kept and stare at the mirror.
But today.
[Why is this tiny contractor so lacking in greed!]The moment he touched the mirror, a squirrel with raised arms appeared, shouting in a light, angry tone.
Surprised, the boy swallowed his breath and cautiously spoke to the mirror.
This time, a girl’s voice was heard, but only the squirrel was seen.
‘Who is speaking?’
He was curious about the owner of the voice, but after a few exchanges, it fell silent.
Was this the end? Impatient, the boy spoke to the mirror again.
“Excuse me.”
[Eek!]The girl screamed in surprise, a small silhouette appeared as if looking up from below, and something burst with a pop.
Then the mirror reflected nothing again.
‘Will I hear it again?’
Perhaps the master of the silhouette did not know that he was the master of the voice.
The boy returned the empty medicine bottle to the pharmacist.
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~
