“I caught several purple-horned lizards with a pathetic dagger at the Rose Hunting Festival.”
Stella had caught several purple-horned lizards at the hunting festival using a poor-quality dagger.
Stella’s fearless act of throwing a dagger at the large lizard was surprising. However, it was possible because the purple-horned lizard, despite its size, was slow and less aggressive compared to other creatures.
If the lizard were a bit faster or more ferocious, using a mediocre dagger to catch it would have been impossible.
Since there was no noticeable change in Royce’s expression when talking about her exploits, Stella felt she had to demonstrate it directly.
“Watch closely.”
Stella took out the dagger she had kept in her bosom. After Will came to the garden, Stella carried the dagger with her.
Originally, she should have returned it after the hunting festival, but when Stella went to return it, the temporary weapon rental place was already gone.
This dagger was one of the items she had brought that day. The other javelins were carefully stored in the room along with a pickaxe.
“Yes.”
Even when Stella took out the dagger and javelin, Kai showed an indifferent reaction, causing Stella to feel a slight frustration.
I’ll make sure to impress him when I teach him.
After taking a deep breath, Stella threw the dagger with all her strength towards a wooden pillar at the entrance of the garden.
Thunk!
Despite the clumsy form, the speed at which the dagger flew was surprisingly fast, and the blade sank quite deeply into the wooden pillar. Kai’s eyebrows twitched at the unexpected power.
“See that?”
“Where did you learn such a thing?”
Kai’s voice, which had been indifferent all along, suddenly tightened with tension. No matter how you looked at it, Stella didn’t seem like an ordinary princess.
The shadows watching her felt vigilant. If Stella made even the slightest suspicious move, attacks would mercilessly come from all directions.
Kai signaled the shadows, visible only to them, to stay alert. The momentum of the shadows, moving silently in the darkness, softened. They reacted sensitively to Kai’s every breath and word.
“I haven’t learned it. I just threw it. Must be in my blood.”
Without realizing the dozens of stern gazes directed at her, Stella shrugged her shoulders.
The earth fairies, who had been happily eating, swiftly shifted in response to the sudden change in temperature around them.
The reason the earth fairies didn’t attack the shadows was simple—they didn’t seem like a threat to Stella.
However, Othon stared fixedly at the nearest tree, not taking his eyes off it.
“Why are you like that?”
Ark asked with a puzzled expression in response to Othon’s unusual look.
“Don’t trust that human, Royce. You never know when she might betray Stella.”
“No, Royce is kind. And a bit foolish.”
“You’re probably the foolish one.”
Othon, glancing at Ark eating salad with an oblivious expression, spoke with irritation.
Kai pulled out the thrown dagger stuck in the tree with an expression of disbelief. The dagger, thrown with weak arms, was deeply embedded, requiring considerable force to pull it out.
What on earth is this woman?
She was the first person Kai had encountered who became more mysterious the more he knew about her.
The waiting room of Oa Castle buzzed with maids waiting to report.
Sara, a maid serving Princess Anette, discovered Mila sitting quietly in one corner of the waiting room and approached her threateningly with a group of maids.
She never really liked Mila, but thinking about the recent incident with the cursed flower, she found Mila even more detestable.
“You didn’t wear that brooch today? Did you get it stolen again?”
It was clear to anyone that Sara was picking a fight, but Mila stared silently at her notebook as if she couldn’t hear.
“Can’t you hear me? Well, considering the princess you serve, it’s no wonder you’re like a deaf servant.”
Mila, who had been silently listening, closed her notebook and stared at Sara with a cold gaze.
“What does that mean?”
Sara, always acting high and mighty on the topic of fellow maids, found Mila’s mocking attitude infuriating.
“You must know that your princess deceived ours, Princess Anette, and stole some precious seed, right?”
Mila was astonished.
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.
