That’s when Edwin burst into spontaneous laughter.
“But, Rose.”
“Hm?”
Edwin was looking at me with narrowed eyes.
What is he trying to say with that gaze?
“You seem a bit odd today.”
“What’s odd about me?”
“You used to tell me to focus on treatment rather than asking how I am. You used to challenge me rather than comfort me when I was down.”
I nodded slightly as if agreeing.
If this were the original Rosebelia, she would’ve advised that what happened with the magical beast was irreversible, and to look forward and train harder.
Rosebelia believed that challenging Edwin, who has good qualities, helps him grow.
“Was that so? So, you don’t like it?”
“No, not that. I’m just glad to see this change in you.”
Glad?
Confused, I cocked my head. Edwin shrugged as if he knew I wouldn’t understand and continued.
“I always knew you were tough on the outside. But recently, you seem a bit more honest, shall I say?”
Ah, that’s what he meant.
“…I’m trying to be a bit more honest from now on.”
Our eyes met as Edwin grinned, and I felt oddly awkward. I suppressed a rising cough and spoke again.
“If you’re staying in the capital, I have a personal favor to ask…”
“What is it?”
[Star Icon]“Yeah, it feels weird wearing a uniform.”
Opening the wardrobe, I scrutinized Rosebelia’s clothes. They all looked comfortable but that was it.
I have nothing to wear.
“Isn’t it silly to fuss over what to wear?”
While saying so, I swiveled my head this way and that before picking the most brightly colored casual clothes.
After changing, I left for the knight corps a bit early. Though the day felt unusually long, the path to the square seemed unexpectedly short.
I left Emily at the stable and headed straight to the clock tower. The clock hands had passed five.
Is Ian really going to confess to me?
What should I do if he confesses?
It was different from when Simon confessed. Back then, Simon wasn’t confessing to me, but the Rosebelia now isn’t the past Rosebelia that Ian is looking at either.
“…Should I reject him?”
I couldn’t easily answer that question for some reason. It felt like I was looking into murky water, even though it was my own heart.
“Sigh.”
I heaved a pointless sigh and spent some time circling the clock tower and aimlessly waving at a passing child.
“Why isn’t he coming?”
Granted, I had arrived too early.
I leaned my back against the clock tower, trying to calm my heart.
Yet, the evening twilight settled without any sign of Ian.
The clock’s hands were already pointing to seven.
“It looks like it’s going to rain.”
“Better get inside.”
I tilted my head back at the words of a passerby. Just as it seemed that storm clouds were gathering, the first drops of rain began to fall.
The raindrops quickly grew larger. The downpour scattered the crowd, and soon I was alone in front of the clock tower.
“…What could’ve possibly happened?”
As time passed, my worry overtook my impatience for his late arrival.
If something had come up preventing him from reaching the plaza, he would have sent someone else…
Why hadn’t anyone come to deliver Ian’s message?
As it neared eight o’clock, I was certain we hadn’t gotten our times crossed, yet I found it difficult to leave.
I felt a strong urge to rush to the palace and ask if something had happened to Ian. But the person I was meeting today was not Prince Ian, but Klein, who was deceiving his identity.
Should I go to the Duke’s residence and ask what happened at the palace today?
As that thought crossed my mind, my previously immobile legs started moving. Waiting aimlessly wouldn’t change anything.
Yes, it’s better to find out what happened in the meantime.
Suppressing the uneasiness in my chest, I turned to look for Emily, whom I had left nearby. Just then, the sound of approaching footsteps caught my attention.
Could it be Ian?
“Kl—”
Upon verifying the silver hair that entered my field of view, I closed my mouth.
“Miss Rosebelia?”
The person who stopped before me was Linart.
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~
