“How can you confine Isabella Vellocci otherwise? Even if you are married, there are human rights. The right to choose where you stay. Ignoring that and trying to take her forcibly. You are less than human.”
The emperor, who had been clicking his tongue, looked at him with contempt.
But even despite the emperor’s disregard, the Duke of Liberto showed no signs of backing down.
“It won’t do, no matter what. This is a disregard for me.”
“A disregard for you? Do you not think it’s rather you who is disregarding me, the emperor?”
“Nno, that’s not it. But… I must speak my mind. I think I must be dignified in front of the woman I love.”
Darn it. Love? When did we ever see it? To cling to me this much…
‘I must have said I don’t like other women or something.’
Otherwise, there was no reason for the emperor to push so hard to say that.
“Love?”
The duke remained dignified even in front of the emperor, who chuckled.
“I quite like Isabella Vellocci.”
“You like her.”
“Her face is pretty, and her body is fine, and she’s young and very tasty…, no. Anyway, that’s how it is. Even if you are His Majesty the emperor, you don’t necessarily need that woman, do you?”
You, the emperor, are handsome and young, so anyone will do, right? It seemed like he was saying that in a roundabout way.
If he wasn’t a fool, he couldn’t have failed to understand that.
The emperor, who had momentarily stroked his chin, looked directly at the duke as if he had gained some insight.
“I can be someone else, but you must have Isabella?”
“That’s right.”
The emperor nodded his head as if amused. With his arms crossed, he looked more relaxed than ever.
“Because you beat and abused women, so other women won’t rescue you? So, it has to be her? You need to satisfy your dirty lust, but there’s no place to let it out? So it must be Isabella. Even if you offer money, there’s no family willing to send their daughter, so? So! Is it because it must be Isabella Vellocci?”
Although he was suppressing his emotions as much as possible, the emperor was angrier than ever. The duke’s complexion had hardened even more.
“How can you say such a thing…!”
His face, grinding his teeth tightly, was filled with wrinkles. Such a greedy face; the duke’s face was filled with pockets of greed everywhere.
I knew my guess was right. Other women won’t rescue him, so he clings to me this much.
Cornered by the emperor’s words, the duke shook his head and then suddenly his eyes sparkled as if he had remembered something.
“Your Majesty. I don’t know where you heard such things, but those are nonsense spouted by those who want to extract money from me.”
“Nonsense?”
“Yes. It’s all nonsense and rumors!”
Seeing the emperor react to his words, the duke opened his mouth as if excited.
Women are always like that. Somehow they cling to men and, if something does not please them, they are busy framing them. That way, they receive money by claiming damages and the like. I have been fooled by those women more than once or twice. They spout such nonsense, thinking there might be something more to glean!
The Duke’s words made the Emperor’s shoulders flinch.
‘Is he insane?’
If it had not been for the Emperor, that thought would have burst out at once.
However, whether deceived by his own nonsensical lie or burdened by a victim’s consciousness, Duke Liberato’s hand even trembled.
“Fooled by women?”
“Yes.”
“Well, it could happen. But what does Isabella have to do with them? According to what you’ve said, Isabella would be no different from other women?”
Caught in an unexpected place, the Duke’s mouth hung open.
“That is…! No, it’s not. Isabella can’t be like that.”
“You are contradicting your own words. All women act like that, but Isabella is different? It’s not that; no one wants to be a wife, so you intend to take her as a wife.”
Making a grinding noise, he slammed the floor with his golden cane.
“No! It may have been that way in the past, but not this time. Isabella will be different!”
Because he shouted, he spat out an ominous cough. Cough, cough, so quiet that it seemed like blood might come out, his coughing noise grew louder.
“Cough. Cough.”
No one opened their mouth at that sound.
As if waiting for the coughing to stop. Thanks to that brief silence, the surrounding scenery was all too clear.
Following Duke Liberato, the Countess who had been hanging back a good distance since the Emperor appeared, and the Count, who was watching the situation from quite a distance away.
As if to show the relationship between the two, the Countess was standing in front, and the Count had retreated far behind.
Ever since the Countess’s personality had become domineering, the always intimidated Count had been like that.
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.
