Suddenly, a sweet voice rang out, and I looked up to find a handsome man looking at me with an amused expression, his mouth covered.
The crown prince’s characteristics were, yes, that black hair and those red eyes that didn’t seem of this world.
Only the royal bloodline with a strong connection to the dragon’s blood had those eyes.
According to legend, the first emperor who founded the empire was a dragon who had received a divine revelation.
Almost no one really believed that.
It was like a story about a king born from an egg.
Of course, until Nathaniel was born.
The entire empire was fascinated by his appearance, strikingly similar to that of the founding emperor.
Moreover, after his transcendent power became known, Nathaniel’s popularity became enormous.
‘He’s really handsome.’
Having faced the empire’s most handsome faces every day, my standards for beauty were quite high.
Even to me, Nathaniel looked very handsome.
His somewhat sinister red eyes combined with his pale skin gave off a decadent vibe.
He was a different type of handsome compared to the brightfaced Maximilian.
“What are you staring at like that?”
“Ah? Oh, because you’re so handsome……”
Was it his intimidating aura? I reflexively flattered his appearance.
Actually, in the original work, the crown prince suffered a lot because of his appearance. He was kidnapped and harassed from childhood, and as an adult, he became a subject of fear for looking too much like the polymorphous dragon, the founding emperor.
‘I shouldn’t have complimented his appearance.’
My mouth was trouble. After scolding Maximilian so much, my words reflexively flew out like a broken filter.
“The princess is quite amusing.”
“Hahaha. Thank you for the compliment.”
“To hear that as a compliment, now I’m even more curious about what’s in the princess’s head.”
It was a creepy smile, as if he was about to open my head and look inside. But I couldn’t back down here.
The crown prince rarely appeared in social circles.
“I heard you wouldn’t be attending today; what brings you here?”
“To avoid bothersome people like the duke’s fiancée.”
“O… Don’t misunderstand! Sister Teresa isn’t like that.”
“So she lied to the young duke, saying Lady Menisil is interested in me, is that it?”
Nathaniel’s eyes gleamed ominously. The proud momentum I had before was gone, and I humbly began to explain with my hands together.
“It was only to wake up my garbagelike brother, borrowing the majestic aura of Your Highness, the crown prince. I can assure you that Lady Menisil has no ulterior motives whatsoever.”
I couldn’t let his first impression of Teresa be bad when they hadn’t even met. I didn’t know why Nathaniel fell for Teresa in the original story.
But seeing Teresa, I thought I could understand why. Despite the devious aristocratic society, Teresa was genuinely pure.
People around her were divided into those who wanted to protect her innocence and those who scorned and belittled her for being naive.
And perhaps Nathaniel was the former.
‘So if they meet, they’ll somehow make it work.’
Although this was baseless confidence, Teresa was that charming of a heroine.
Yes, this was an opportunity.
I might be able to make them meet, like in the original work.
“Maybe if you doubt it, I can introduce you to her!”
“I’m not doubting to that extent.”
“Still, meeting once would be……”
His disinterest was a problem.
Seeing my flustered face, Nathaniel burst into laughter. He looked as if he had found something amusing.
Certainly! Below is the translated passage:
“Is that why you don’t want Lady Menisil to become a duchess?”
“It’s obvious because it’s hard. As you may have seen earlier, your highness’ mind is in that state.”
“For Lady Menisil’s sake.”
“Do you doubt it?”
“Of course, it’s doubtful according to the rumors I’ve heard. Isn’t it?”
It’s true that the vicious rumors about the Winters family’s married life (of which I was naturally a part) were rampant in the social circles.
But that’s all in the past!
“Now it’s different. Sister Theresa is a good person, and I wish she could marry someone like the crown prince and live happily ever after.”
“Am I the one to be responsible for that happy married life? What does the princess know about me to say something like that?”
“If I offended you, please forgive me. At least I know that His Highness the crown prince is far more excellent than a highness who wears his head as a decoration.”
Nathaniel, who was laughing, seemed to find everything I said amusing. He lightly brushed off his seat and stood up.
“Then shall I meet that good person the princess mentioned?”
I was relieved to see that he seemed interested. I excitedly extolled Theresa’s virtues.
How pretty she was, and how lovely.
Even though her eye for men was on the sole of her foot, Theresa was truly a good person.
In a warlike aristocratic society, Theresa treated others with sincerity. Not everyone recognized her sincerity, but many secretly admired her for it.
I passionately appealed how well the two would match, as if I were a seller of medicine.
“So please, talk to her just once. In a nation I know of, there’s a study where they just look at each other’s faces to check if they’re compatible or not, and according to that study, you two are a perfect match.”
“A perfect match?”
“So, well…”
As I opened the door to the terrace and entered, the banquet hall had a chill atmosphere. And at the center were Maximilian and Theresa.
“Oh…”
Judging by Maximilian’s face, covering one cheek, it seemed like he had been slapped by Theresa.
No, already?
“How can you doubt my courtesy?”
“Theresa, I…”
“I don’t want to hear it.”
Theresa’s tearful, running away figure looked just like a scene from a movie.
What’s going on?
I ran over to Maximilian.
“What on Earth did you do to make Sister Theresa like that?”
“……”
“Speak, you goodfornothing!”
Maximilian, a large figure, was violently shaken by my collar grabbing. Then Cassian appeared next to us siblings.
“From now on, the Winters family will not be invited to our banquets. Please leave.”
“Wa, wait a minute. What exactly is happening…!”
“Go away. Take them out!”
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~
