I Just Raised Men for Revenge (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 6
Those words were her will—and her last.
Thus, Sesenia died.
‘At that time, I regretted not killing my sister.’
A tear dropped from Sesenia’s eye.
That was the final memory of her life.
Her husband, the Emperor, looking at her with relief.
Her sister Elzer, glancing at her with a faint smile.
And Ian, standing behind his sister—her one and only friend—who had advised her to simply exile the sister who had betrayed her with her husband, since she clearly couldn’t bring herself to kill her.
‘Love… truly is damned.’
But Sesenia’s life ended just like that.
‘And I… will rise again.’
**
“Hah….”
When Sesenia opened her eyes once more, her body was whole—untouched by blades, free of pain.
“I’m back.”
She let out a quiet laugh. As if she had anticipated this return, she repeatedly clenched and unclenched her fist before walking toward the mirror. It was indeed her own reflection—except for one difference: a necklace she had never seen before now hung around her neck.
Opening the slightly thick pocket watch revealed an hourglass inside.
‘The family secret.’
The vile curse passed down through the Vestel bloodline—a tale so ancient that even Sesenia’s father, Marquis Vestel, knew nothing of it. A curse cast upon those who truly wished for death, ensuring they could never take their own life.
No one yet knew the full nature of this curse or its side effects—Sesenia herself had only discovered it moments before her death, as if fate itself had refused to let her perish.
“Anyway, I would’ve died even without this.”
They would have found a way to kill her regardless. It had been a bet with her life as the stake—but between death and death, there had never truly been another choice.
Comforting herself with such thoughts, Sesenia brushed her hand across her cheek. The solid, unbroken sensation confirmed her return.
“I really am alive.”
Just then, the door opened and someone entered.
“Oh.”
“Miss, are you sleeping in again today?”
“…It’s hardly sleeping in—I just woke up.”
Casually, as though she belonged in this timeline, she glanced around.
“Oh. Right.”
Being addressed as “Miss,” and this place clearly being the Marquis Vestel’s estate—her own room before marriage.
‘Time has been rewound… quite far back.’
As Sesenia turned her head, taking in her surroundings, the woman who had entered urged her impatiently.
“Please get up quickly. At this rate, His Grace the Marquis will scold you again.”
“Oh—Father’s here?”
“Of course! Did you forget already? You drank a few glasses of wine last night for your coming-of-age ceremony and passed out completely!”
She understood she had returned due to the family’s curse—but nothing else was clear yet. Was this reality? What year was it? Confused, Sesenia finally recognized who had been scolding her.
It was Lizbet—daughter of her nurse, childhood friend, and maid.
Yet, Lizbet had died in a mysterious accident two months before Sesenia’s own demise—the only friend besides Ian with whom she could share her heart. Lizbet had left saying she’d visit her mother briefly… and never returned.
Remembering this, Sesenia stared silently at Lizbet. If this wasn’t a dream, had she truly returned to a time before Lizbet’s death? Had she undergone a regression? Otherwise, why would Lizbet be here?
Doubt filled her more with every passing second.
“Lizbet… you’re alright, right?”
“Of course I am!”
“Really… you’re not hurt or anything?”
“Miss, you’re acting strange today—did you have a bad dream? You seem almost as if you’ve regressed through time.”
For an instant, Sesenia’s face turned deathly pale.
“Regression…?”
“Yes—you know, turning back time. Why are you so curious about it, as if you’ve actually lived through something like that?”
That playful remark pierced something deep in Sesenia’s chest.
‘Regression… such an uncommon word… why would Lizbet use it?’
Something felt odd. Though that single word neatly explained her situation, an uneasy feeling lingered.
“Miss?”
“Hm?”
“You seem just like yourself today… yet somehow different.”
“Yeah—I feel a bit strange myself, Lizbet. You said yesterday was my coming-of-age ceremony? What exactly does that mean?”
“What do you mean? It means you turned twenty yesterday—and another day has already passed!”
Watching Lizbet beam brightly, Sesenia could only blink in silence.
Five years had passed since her coming-of-age until the day she died. At nineteen, she became engaged to the Crown Prince. At twenty, her father began deeply considering who would inherit the family.
By twenty-one, Sesenia managed most of the family affairs; at twenty-two, she married the Crown Prince; at twenty-three, he became Emperor; and at twenty-five—she died.
‘So I’ve been granted a five-year grace period.’
“This isn’t a dream, is it?”
“You hope it is? I suppose aging is always a sad thing—I understand completely.”
Lizbet, ever cheerful by nature, smiled warmly at Sesenia—her expression so vivid it brought tears to Sesenia’s heart.
‘Lizbet… I truly have returned. I lost you once—but in this time, you’re still alive.’
In that moment, Sesenia felt happier than ever.
“That’s right—it is a little sad. But right now… I’m glad.”
“Is that so?”
“I’d better get ready and go see Father.”
Sesenia looked at Lizbet with a brighter smile than ever before.
‘This time, I’ll give her everything she ever wanted.’
Her sister had always desired everything Sesenia possessed. So Sesenia clenched her fist tightly, resolved to hand over every worthless thing to her sister this time.
Even if the people who drove her to death now differed from those in her past life, the time she endured remained the same.
Thus, Sesenia set off toward her father—the foolishly naive nineteen-year-old he once was.
**
The Marquis had only two daughters and no sons, leaving him deeply conflicted over who should inherit the family.
His younger daughter Sesenia—intelligent but lacking in affection, which greatly displeased him.
In contrast, Elzer—overflowing with charm and beloved by all—was the very embodiment of loveliness, yet showed no interest in family business.
Sesenia therefore worked tirelessly to win her father’s approval. She revived the Vestel estate, making it flourish beyond any other house—yet the Marquis still wished to entrust the family to Elzer.
However, Elzer rejected the inheritance, claiming she desired free love and wished to live freely in the world. As a result, even after becoming Crown Princess, Sesenia continued managing the family alone—until it ultimately became hers.
‘Yet even that family… was something my sister wanted after all.’
Only after everything was settled did her sister seek to claim it all for herself without losing a single thing.
No matter how she thought of it, such a person was utterly repulsive.
Of course, there was no guarantee these same events wouldn’t unfold again.
‘This life, I’ll trust no one—not my sister, not Ian, not the Crown Prince. Not even the family. I’ll build something of my own, and lose nothing. To them… those who used me, I’ll deliver hell itself.’
The memory kept resurfacing—her sister and so-called friend mocking her. Her hands trembled—until someone grabbed her arm as she walked toward the Marquis’s room.
“Sesenia! Heading to see Father?”
Sesenia froze instantly. The familiar voice, the familiar gesture—it was Elzer.
“Sister.”
Unlike herself—often described as emotionless—Elzer was adored by everyone, even her own younger sister finding her utterly endearing.
Renowned as the Empire’s most beautiful woman and praised for her intelligence, Elzer always had suitors and their gifts flooding the Vestel estate, all vying for her affection.
This routine continued until Sesenia entered the Imperial Palace as Crown Princess. And Elzer loved every one of those men—though in truth, she merely used them under the guise of “free love.”
Back then, Sesenia had admired her sister’s ability to command so many hearts as she pleased.
But never could she have imagined that “free love” would lead her sister to covet even her husband—to steal her position, her spouse, and ultimately drive her to her death. Sesenia struggled to mask her expression.
‘The person who betrays me in the future isn’t this one before me… then why can’t I calm down? Pull yourself together. This person… is different from the one in my future.’
Forcing a smile, Sesenia looked at Elzer.
“Yeah.”
“Were you alright yesterday? It was your first time drinking proper wine—did you get a headache or anything?”
“No.”
“Actually, I prepared that myself—I went through some trouble to get something special just for you.”
Sesenia’s stomach churned. Elzer’s gentle hand brushing her cheek while reminiscing about yesterday reminded her too vividly of the strange concoction her sister had used to paralyze her in prison—making it impossible to calm her racing heart.
“So that’s how it was. You haven’t changed at all, Sister.”
“Huh? Not changed?”
That innocent look—as if she knew nothing at all—was sickening.
“No, nothing. You’ve always been there for me, Sister.”
“Exactly! Who else in the world would care for you as much as I do?”
“Yeah… you always have.”
Back then, Sesenia truly believed her sister loved her—that no one could possibly love her more than her own family. Trapped in that delusion, she never imagined her sister would be the one to cause her death.
She never dreamed her sister would commit adultery with her husband, bear his child, and use that very child to destroy her—believing until the end that her sister’s feelings were genuine.
Her mouth tasted unbearably bitter.
‘But this time… I’ll be the one using you.’
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.
