I asked bluntly, and Aris hesitated, as if unsure how to say it.
“You mean it should be familiar for me to have sexual relations with upper-class men I hardly know?”
Aris was speechless at my words. I laughed coldly.
“I wonder what face Hubert would make if he heard you say that.”
Aris’s eyes widened.
“What do you mean by that?”
Ignoring her, I moved towards the door.
“I should show some courtesy since we have a guest.”
Bang.
I opened the door and stepped out.
“Sister, wait!”
Her urgent footsteps followed.
I could feel her anxiety behind me.
“You don’t need to go down. Hubert is handling the guest. You’re not needed.”
“A noble guest has arrived and I’m not needed?”
“You’re not!”
Dodging Aris’s attempt to grab me, I hurried down the stairs, my dress fluttering.
Tap, tap.
Aris’s footsteps grew louder as she tried to catch up.
“Wait! What are you going to tell Hubert? If you’re going to talk about what just happened, it’s better not to.”
‘Is that a warning? Not scary at all.’
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Don’t pretend you don’t know. Wait, stop, why are you walking so fast!”
A chase ensued.
No matter how demure I had been these past years, quick feet were essential for a thief. Aris, raised delicately, couldn’t catch up.
I almost reached the drawing room when…
“I got you!”
Aris’s hand pushed my back.
Wobble.
I stumbled forward. The door, which I thought was locked, swung open!
“Uh?”
Surprised, I tried to grab the doorknob, but it was too late.
The door opened wide, and everyone in the drawing room turned to look.
“…….”
“…….”
Feeling sweat trickle down my back, I faced their gazes.
“Keep it in moderation!”
I glared at Aris, but she was quicker to speak.
“Hubert.”
Seeing her already teary eyes, I was at a loss for words.
Her sobs followed.
“Sorry. I startled my sister by running, so I tried to stop her gently.”
‘This crazy…’
Hubert’s disdainful gaze gave me a headache.
Meanwhile, Aris was elegantly apologizing to the outsider in the drawing room for ‘my mistake’.
“I’m sorry, guest. I’m sorry for this embarrassment, especially after your difficult journey.”
“Oh, I’m fine.”
Someone responded to Aris’s apology by raising a hand. Only then did I pay attention to the foreign stranger.
His confident posture stood out starkly from the usual soft demeanor of royal men. His dark skin, like copper melted and spread, was quite unusual in this country.
It was as if he had ‘Imperial person’ written on his forehead.
Aris glanced at him curiously, rather blatantly.
“Aris.”
Hubert’s stern voice made her flinch.
“Remember your manners in front of guests.”
“Sorry.”
Her crestfallen appearance softened Hubert’s eyes.
“You may sit.”
As if waiting for this, Aris quickly took a seat beside Hubert.
Hubert’s gaze then turned to me.
I hesitated before slowly moving to sit on Hubert’s other side.
After the somewhat chaotic moment, Hubert offered the guest an apologetic smile.
“Sorry, Mr. Kichep, for the unseemly behavior.”
“No problem. It’s amusing, really. People in the kingdom gawk at us Imperials like passing clowns.”
His casual manner of speaking made me realize late that it was a sarcastic remark.
‘Huh?’
I found this refreshingly interesting and looked at him.
Kichep just grinned at my puzzled gaze.
“Besides, I had to wait anyway.”
Aris blinked at Hubert, unable to contain her curiosity, and whispered.
“What does he mean?”
“Hm.”
Hubert started to speak but paused, frowning slightly. The Imperial man laughed easily.
“Why so hesitant? I’ll explain.”
Kichep interjected, causing Hubert to frown.
Despite the apparent discomfort, Kichep didn’t seem bothered and looked curiously at Aris and me.
“First, who is Egrein Lorentz here?”
I was taken aback, feeling attacked before even understanding the situation.
“That’s me.”
I replied calmly, and he looked surprised. Then his eyes filled with a strange coldness.
‘What’s this?’
I felt uneasy.
Hubert crossed his arms.
“Now that the person you want is here, can you talk? Or do you need someone else?”
“No, this is sufficient.”
Kichep confidently countered Hubert’s sarcasm and pulled out an elegant gold-embossed letter from his pocket, placing it on the table.
All eyes turned to it.
“This is a letter from His Highness, the prince.”
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:
