I Decided to Let You Go (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 31
“His Imperial Majesty the Emperor?”
“Yes, yes. He said there’s an urgent matter that needs immediate resolution.”
The butler, at a loss for what to do, managed a reply at last. He likely knew of the complicated relationship between Natasha and the imperial family, which made him hesitant to respond too readily.
However, his tone carried the implication that, since the Emperor had shown up so unreasonably, he himself had no choice but to comply.
Natasha, who had initially been startled and wide-eyed, quickly regained her composure after a brief moment. She straightened the pen she’d been clutching loosely and continued writing from where she’d left off.
“What’s his purpose?”
“Yes… yes?”
“If His Majesty is so pressed for time that he came without even sending prior notice, then I must understand what has made him so urgent.”
“He only said he wishes to speak with you…”
“So the purpose is unclear? If he arrives unannounced with no set agenda and an ambiguous intention, such a meeting cannot be considered valid. Please convey to His Majesty that he must formally request an audience and return accordingly.”
As Natasha removed her glasses and stood up, the butler did the opposite—carefully lifting his own spectacles and settling them precisely on the bridge of his nose. With a startled expression, he hastily added to the Duchess:
“That is indeed the proper protocol. However… His Majesty came on such a cold day. To send him away immediately seems rather harsh for a ruler of a nation… Of course, I understand your reasons for acting as you do…”
The butler subtly suggested she might want to reconsider outright refusal.
He was likely torn: pushing Natasha felt wrong given her past, yet dismissing the Emperor outright frightened him due to unknown repercussions. To him, the best argument was that rejecting the Emperor’s request might breach proper etiquette.
“Jenkins, while it’s good to show courtesy befitting a ruler, the highest priority must always be the safety and security of the ducal household.”

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~

“Anyone in the Duke’s household would know, but I’m well aware of your relations
I’m confused how the emperor got to be in charge when he’s not too bright
applehead jackson Chapter 32 — Paragraph 22“I apologize for failing to uphold my promise and for leaving you alone.”
You have a looong list of things to apologize and you choose this one 😒
“I apologize for failing to uphold my promise and for leaving you alone.”
Was there a magical promise that I forgot about or something?

It’s a little lot too late ass why no do this earlier if you regressed before
Yea… I don’t really know if him bringing her back really nullifies any of what happened in the first timeline
