Nathaniel endured a little more of my father’s complaints and curses before leaving the room.
When we were left alone, my father cautiously spoke up.
“His Majesty wants our family to keep an eye on the Count Trevia.”
“Uh, Father, don’t feel pressured. You don’t have to do that.”
I felt like I understood why the Emperor, who would usually not care about our relationship, was different this time.
“It’s annoying, but he’s right. What if the Empress and the nobles bring their own family members as concubines?”
“Hmm.”
Nathaniel would never accept those women, but I couldn’t deny my father’s concerns.
“Anyway, try to get along better with His Majesty.”
“We get along fine.”
My father kept silent for a moment at my curt reply.
“I’ll take care of it.”
A lot of emotions flashed across my father’s face, but in the end, he didn’t say anything and stood up from his seat.
But soon he was annoyed again.
(This is a time divider.)
Nathaniel, who had been in a low mood since morning, turned into a baby dragon after lunch.
I hid in the office, holding him, doing my work as usual.
I sat at his desk, stroking the back of Nathaniel, who was purring and sleeping soundly in my arms.
“Hmm?”
I spotted a few crumpled papers among the pile of documents.
I checked to make sure Nathaniel was asleep, and sneakily pulled them out.
“Wow…….”
I was taken aback by the blatant demands filled on the paper.
There was even a list of women who could be taken as concubines.
“Beep…….”
Nathaniel, who was in my arms, twitched and opened his eyes.
He saw the documents in my hand, quickly flew over and snatched them.
He then tore them up with his short, plump hands and threw them into the trash.
“Was it okay to tear that?”
[It doesn’t matter.]Nathaniel, who had even erased the traces with magic, yawned long.
I asked, watching him play with a pen with his front paw.
“Are you feeling pressured?”
[Not really.]“With so many petitions coming in like this?”
[I don’t usually care about such things.]I lifted him with my hands to look at me.
He flapped, trying to escape, but I held him tightly.
He had no choice but to follow me in his baby dragon form due to the size difference.
“Look at me.”
Reluctantly, Nathaniel turned his head.
He looked at me with round eyes, his cheeks puffed up.
“You can’t hold out like this forever.”
[I am only waiting, as you say.]If he asked if I was ready, the honest answer would be no.
Nathaniel and I had only known each other for about half a year.
We were not consumed by passionate love, and I didn’t want to share a bed out of obligation.
“First, we must find the person who leaked our bedroom matters to the Empress.”
“Okay. I’ve thought about what we should do going forward. Will you listen?”
He let out a small moan, smiling mischievously at my playful words.
(This is a time divider.)
I immediately began to search for the maid who had leaked our bedroom matters to the Empress.
I wouldn’t have bothered looking if this matter had passed quietly.
But the rumor had spread, and other nobles had begun to participate, making it difficult to stand idly by.
“I found that three maids had connections with the Empress’s chamberlain.”
Teresa had helped me find the maids.
To work in the Imperial Palace, one needed someone’s recommendation.
Since there was no need for Nathaniel to check the maids’ backgrounds before our marriage, some of the Empress’s people had entered the Prince’s Palace.
“It could be one of these three, or all of them.”
“I think it’s this maid.”
Cassian pointed to one name on the list.
“Anais, the Princess, informed me that she entered the Empress’s palace not long ago.”
I confirmed the girl’s name and background.
“Leave this girl named Lina alone for now, and place the other two in another palace.”
“Yes, I understand. What shall we do with Lina?”
I checked where she worked.
She was mainly working in the dining area on a floor different from where Nathaniel and I stayed.
Our story seemed to have spread among the servants.
“Keep your enemies close. I’m thinking of appointing Lina as a maid in charge of our bedroom.”
“Will that be okay?”
Teresa looked worried.
She, too, must have heard the rumors about Nathaniel and me.
It was unavoidable, given how sensational it was.
“Yeah, I think it will be fine.”
I wasn’t planning on letting this slide.
(This is a time divider.)
I looked at the maids who came in to assist with my bath.
The girl rolling her eyes nervously looked quite naive.
‘She doesn’t seem like the type to do such a thing.’
She didn’t look guilty enough to have committed a bold act, unable to even hide her anxiety.
Teresa looked at them sternly and spoke in a solemn voice.
“Today is an important day, so pay particular attention to His Highness’s grooming.”
“Yes.”
I headed to the largest bathroom in the Prince’s Palace, guided by the maids.
A place I had used only once on our wedding day.
I relaxed my body thoroughly in the bath, massaged my muscles, and applied herbinfused oil said to be good for the skin.
I felt better with the faint woody scent.
“Ah, ah!”
Unlike the other relaxed maids, Lina made mistake after mistake.
She broke the perfume bottle she was holding, even stumbled as she followed me.
She would surely hear an earful from the other maids when she returned to her lodging.
“Here you are, Your Highness.”
“Th… thanks.”
And there was Shumizu, whom I hadn’t seen for several months.
“Do you look thinner than last time?”
“It’s summer, so I used cooler materials. That’s why it appears that way.”
The maids lied blatantly with broad smiles.
They dressed me in Shumizu and then a gown over it.
They didn’t say it, but they seemed quite excited about the events of the day.
‘That’s something Nathaniel and I are doing, so why…’
I didn’t want to know the reason, so I quickly erased the thought.
I entered the bedroom and removed the gown I was wearing.
A cold breeze seeped through the thin Shumizu.
“Ah, this is really thin.”
I sat down slowly on the bed, rubbing my hands together.
I felt like the same thing had happened a few months ago, but something was different.
My heart was pounding as if it would burst.
‘Why am I so nervous?’
I had slept and kissed many times, so why!
I gulped down the cold water next to the bed in one breath.
Knock, knock.
Finally, the sound of knocking on the door was heard.
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~
