Whether she thought there was no way to stop me or she wanted to save at least Shasha, the countess yelled in fury.
“Why?”
“Obviously, parents should raise a child!”
“Your mouth seems twisted, but please speak straight. You’ve never ‘raised’ Shasha. You were busy using her.”
“No matter what, it can’t happen!”
The countess quickly moved her feet, as if trying to take Shasha, who was hiding behind me. I subtly moved my body to keep Shasha well hidden.
“What’s not to be done?”
“Isabella!”
“The Emperor has already allowed it.”
The countess, snorting, moved her head confidently.
“No. He simply understood your whining, with his broad mind.”
“What did you say?”
“Today, it seems like you whined a lot. And the Emperor understood all of that. So it happened. But this matter is a family affair, not even the Emperor can intervene.”
How can she speak so beautifully? Saying I whined, and I’m not even a child.
Of course, I have whined a little. But that…
“What do you think, Your Majesty?”
In the meantime, the countess’s gaze moved past me to the Emperor. This time, her face lit up with a confident smile.
“Even if it’s His Majesty the Emperor, this is a family matter.”
“That’s right.”
“Isabella is just a sister. But taking the child away, it’s an unthinkable thing.”
“Right. Normally, it’s impossible.”
Is this man on my side or the countess’s? With his eager agreement to everything the countess says, frustration builds up. It feels like stuffing a sweet potato in my mouth.
“That’s why I think it can’t happen.”
“Yes. Normally, children should be raised by their parents. There are laws to protect children from those who try to take them away from their parents.”
“Exactly. I thought Your Majesty would understand.”
“If it’s an ordinary family.”
“Yes, an ordinary family.”
The sight of the Countess, who blindly followed the Emperor’s words, calling herself an ordinary family, was disgusting. If this had been a novel, she would have received all kinds of curses.
The short words explaining why Shanencia became twisted, why she became a villain.
Shanencia, who had become a villain, could not be forgiven with those few lines. But if what she was going through now had been written in a novel, people would have pitied Shanencia.
The acts of the Count and Countess were full of insane nonsense.
Though Isabella’s parents, though the parents who gave birth to this body, curses were naturally coming out.
“Do you think your family is an ordinary family?”
“Yes. I do.”
“You are showing the end of arrogance. How is it an ordinary family? There must be things you’ve done to Shanencia.”
“Us?”
As if she really didn’t know anything, as if they really hadn’t done anything wrong, the Countess looked at the Emperor with round eyes.
“Are you pretending not to know? Or do you think it’s not a big deal to the point that you don’t know it’s wrong? Either way, I think there’s a problem with your intelligence.”
“Ah.”
“Do you carry your head around just for show? Is it for decoration? Like an accessory?”
“Your Majesty. Those words are too…”
“Why are you trying to say it’s harsh? But I’m genuinely worried. It’s a wonder that Isabella grew up normally under these people.”
The one who was biting his tongue slowly moved. Toward the Countess.
“You made money using a child, didn’t you? You indulged in luxury with it. You don’t need to make excuses. You have said things. It’s good to have many children. There will be at least one useful child among them. You even liked the idea of picking up children from the orphanage. Saying there would be at least one worth feeding among the dogs. You’ve been saying that around, haven’t you?”
“……That…… Your Majesty. It seems you are misunderstanding everything. So, that is…”
“Be quiet.”
“…….”
“You can’t even protect grownup Isabella, you can’t even protect a mere 7yearold child, and your heart has rotted away, but you think you can take care of a child?”
I could miss it, but Shasha couldn’t. It would be like having the goose that lays the golden eggs taken away.
“Still, this can’t be. This……this is not justifiable!”
“It’s not justifiable. But I will do it.”
“Emperor Your Majesty!”
“Yes. I am the Emperor as you say. Is there a problem if I say I will do as I please?”
He was really excellent at speaking sarcastically.
“Even if you are the Emperor, Your Majesty… this… kidnap…”
Trying to argue that it was a kidnapping, the Countess opened her mouth as if her blood was boiling and bit her lips tightly.
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
