I Became the First Love of the Impenetrable Male Lead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 6
Had Rosebelia ever coughed up blood after using aura?
No matter how calmly I traced back Rosebelia’s past, I couldn’t recall such a memory.
She’d never shown any abnormal symptoms from using aura before…
“Let me try again.”
I exhaled slowly, tightly closed my eyes, and focused on sensing any energy flowing within my body.
So this sensation—wild and restless inside me—was aura, and if I channeled it straight into my sword…
Feeling my heart pound, I slowly lifted my eyelids. A white glow shimmered around the blade.
I swung the sword toward a tree, and it split cleanly in two, collapsing limply onto the underbrush.
Was this alright?
“This time, it felt like it actually worked…”
I clamped my hand over my mouth as another wave of nausea surged. Far from working properly, even more blood stained my palm than before. For a fleeting moment, my vision spun.
What’s causing this?
Now that I thought about it, the sensation of aura Rosebelia described differed from what I’d just felt.
Rosebelia had likened her aura to a calm lake, but mine felt anything but calm—rather, it was somewhat violent.
Was it because I couldn’t properly control my aura? If so, what exactly should I do? What if I simply couldn’t use aura because I wasn’t truly Rosebelia?
“If you weren’t going to let me use it, you shouldn’t have let me feel this aura in the first place.”
My grumbling voice echoed like a whisper.
As I reached to brush aside my disheveled hair, I froze and looked down. My slightly bent fingertips trembled faintly.
Seeing my blood-smeared palms fill my vision, I instinctively shut my eyes. Overwhelmed by sudden fear, I stood rooted to the spot as if my feet were nailed to the ground.
“…”
After standing motionless for a long while, I abruptly opened my eyes. The eastern sky had already turned faintly gray with dawn.
Snapping back to my senses, I clenched my bloodied palm and pushed through the bushes. Soon, I stopped before a mist-shrouded lake.
Birds drinking at the water’s edge startled at my presence and fluttered away noisily. After quickly scanning my surroundings, I plunged my hand without hesitation into the lake’s edge.
I repeatedly clenched and unclenched my now-clean hands before clearing my throat. Thankfully, the pain only came when I coughed up blood.
“Is this really something to call ‘fortunate’?”
I swallowed a sigh and lifted my head—then instantly held my breath.
The secretive morning sunlight melted into the lake’s gentle ripples, sparkling so brilliantly it hurt my eyes.
After one last look at the endlessly serene and mesmerizing scene, I turned and hurried back toward the mansion.
As soon as I opened the door, having finished preparations to head straight to the knights’ squad, something suddenly crashed into my arms.
“Vivian?”
“Sister Rose!”
“What brings you here so early in the morning?”
Worried she’d had another nightmare, I quickly looked down. Seeing Vivian’s pink-tinged cheeks, she didn’t seem unwell.
“I tried waiting for you yesterday, but I fell asleep before I could see you. So I came early this morning!”
I hadn’t expected such an adorable reply.
Now that I looked closely, Vivian’s eyes were heavy with sleepiness. I suppressed a smile and gently ruffled her hair.
“I’ll come back a bit earlier today.”
“Really? Then will you read books with Vivian?”
“Books? Sure. Let’s read together this evening.”
Vivian let out an excited “Wow!” and beamed brightly.
“Vivian will also ask for some tasty snacks.”
“No overly sweet things.”
At my firm tone, Vivian pouted her lips.
“Chi-i, fine.”
“Vivian, will you see me off?”
“Yep! I will!”
Immediately, a small, delicate hand wrapped around my fingertips. Carefully clasping Vivian’s hand, I glanced back.
At my look, the maid trailing behind Vivian bowed her head and stepped away. When we reached the stairs leading to the first floor, Vivian quickly grabbed the handrail.
“Look! Vivian can hold the handrail properly now.”
In Rosebelia’s memories, Vivian always struggled to reach the railing—had she grown taller already?
Though the railing was still slightly above Vivian’s shoulder, her grip looked quite steady.
“That’s true. Still, you must always go down the stairs slowly.”
“Okay.”
I lightly patted Vivian’s head as she nodded, then just as I was about to step onto the carpeted stairs—
“Ask someone to look into a marriage prospect for her?”
“Rose is of marrying age soon, after all.”
That sounds like Olivia’s voice… Could Olivia really be asking someone right now to find a marriage prospect for me?
Once I grasped the situation, I stood rooted in place. Vivian looked up at me with wide, rabbit-like eyes.
I placed a finger over my lips, and Vivian immediately covered her own mouth with her hands.
“Isn’t Rose busy with the knights’ squad right now? She’s not at an age where she needs to rush into marriage…”
“Brother, Rose will surely understand my intentions someday. You know as well as I do that the later a woman waits, the harder it becomes to find a good match. It’s better to act quickly.”
The voices came from the first-floor corridor connecting the main hall to the reception room.
Given that it was Olivia’s older brother, it was most likely Dylan Riley, who frequently visited the Winters household.
He was the Riley family’s illegitimate son and someone who’d always shown Rosebelia considerable care.
“Alright, I’ll look into it.”
“Thank you, brother. Let’s go to the study quickly—Hermann is waiting.”
Once their footsteps faded, I immediately looked down at Vivian.
“It’s fine now, Vivian.”
“Can Vivian talk now?”
“Yes. Did you happen to hear anything?”
Thankfully, Vivian shook her head vigorously—she probably hadn’t caught anything. After all, their voices had been too low for others to notice.
It’s useful having slightly sharper senses than most, I suppose.
But why is Olivia so eager to arrange my marriage? Does she want me out of her sight as soon as possible?
Once Olivia seriously starts searching for prospects, she’ll surely pressure me in some way.
Already feeling a headache coming on, I reflexively focused on Vivian’s fairy-like face.
“Sister, you must come home early today.”
Having reached the bottom of the stairs, I gently smoothed Vivian’s hair and turned away.

“Ed, you didn’t forget we’re heading to the square tomorrow, right?”
“How many times do I have to tell you I’ve cleared my schedule before you believe me?”
You’ve vanished without warning more than once or twice before—I’ve seen it all in Rosebelia’s memories!
I swallowed the words about to burst out and forced a smile instead.
“Ed? Think about your own actions. Would you trust yourself?”
“Nope.”
Edwin, brushing back his bangs, chuckled softly.
At least he’s self-aware, thankfully.
“Promise you’ll keep your word tomorrow.”
It’s a truly important day! Your fate—and Daisy’s—could change completely!
Instead of voicing my inner plea, I shot him a sharp look. Edwin simply shrugged lightly.
“Alright. It’s not every day you insist this much…”
True—real Rosebelia probably wouldn’t have pushed this hard.
I wondered briefly if Edwin found my behavior strange.
Glancing subtly at Edwin, I asked cautiously,
“But hey… haven’t I seemed a bit different since I got sick?”
“You? Different?”
Edwin tilted his head, scrutinizing me from head to toe. As his gaze narrowed, tension coiled through my whole body.
“…No?”
“Not at all.”
“Think carefully—maybe my tone or behavior?”
Edwin stroked his chin, then suddenly let out a small “Ah!”
“You have changed a little.”
“In what way?”
“You just feel… oddly more unlucky?”
“What?”
Frowning, I watched as Edwin laughed, pressing a hand to his forehead.
“Never mind—you were always a bit unlucky, so that doesn’t really count as ‘different.’”
“Stop joking—seriously, nothing’s changed?”
At my careful question, Edwin’s expression hardened slightly.
“Why? Do you feel something’s off?”
“It’s not that…”
“I’ve known you a long time, but I don’t assume I’ve seen all there is to you.”
“Huh?”
“We all have sides we don’t show others—you have yours, and I have mine too.”
I nodded absentmindedly, as if entranced.
“Y-yeah…”
“So you’re just… you, Rose.”
A sharp pang shot through the back of my head.
The incident at dawn had shaken me deeply—what if this body was rejecting me? I couldn’t shake that thought all morning.
But so what if I’m different or the same?
Every morning, confirming I’d woken up as Rosebelia again never felt entirely carefree—but I’d already become Rosebelia, and days had passed with no change.
“So don’t get discouraged over losing a day’s worth of memories. Lucas and I do that all the time after drinking—our memories just vanish completely!”
“That’s a brag.”
I nudged Edwin’s shoulder, and he grinned wryly.
“Well, it is!”
Watching his guileless smile, the heavy weight pressing on me seemed to lighten just a little.
“Anyway, about tomorrow…”
“Rosebelia, drop that topic already.”
Just as I was about to add another word, a loud shout rang out from somewhere. The source was near the annex where the lecture halls were.
I gestured toward the annex with my eyes, and Edwin nodded, stepping ahead of me.
Chaos reigned before the annex. I approached Lucas, who stood awkwardly among the commotion, and asked,
“Lucas, what’s going on?”
“Looks like a quarrel. Between Jace and Derek—both are new recruits…”
Given the crowd of mostly new knights gathered before the annex, they’d probably argued right after class.
Far off to the side, standing alone away from the group of newcomers, I spotted Ian.
“So two new recruits are fighting?”
“Not fighting yet—more like right before a fight.”
Lucas trailed off vaguely. Understandable, since the knights surrounded the two, making it hard to see what was happening.
“There’s one surefire way to handle this.”
Edwin, who’d been quietly listening to our conversation, suddenly spoke up.
“What’s that?”
“Deputy Commander!”
At Edwin’s booming call, every knight before the annex panicked.
“The Deputy Commander?”
“Where?”
“Scatter quickly!”
While Gabriel, captain of the White Knights, was known for his leniency, Deputy Commander Fabian had a notoriously fussy temperament.
He loved nitpicking over every little thing—if he found out knights had been brawling, he’d punish the whole group without hesitation.
Edwin’s actually pretty clever, huh?
Just as I was about to give Edwin a thumbs-up, a strong impact hit my shoulder, throwing me off balance.
Caught off guard, I felt my equilibrium falter—then someone firmly steadied me.
“Are you alright, senior?”
Assuming it was Edwin or Lucas, I was surprised by the voice that brushed my ear.
“…A recruit?”
It was Ian.
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~
