Silence filled the air.
Hades seemed lost in thought for a moment before he spoke slowly.
“Let’s do this.”
“Yes?”
“Whenever you want to meet him, you can. I don’t have to go with you. But you can’t go alone.”
The condition was better than before, but still not to my liking.
Anyone from this world would find our conversation strange anyway.
But since I couldn’t think of a more generous offer, I nodded.
“I’ll let you know when I’m ready.”
Hades smiled.
“That’s good. Winter is long, so there’s plenty of time.”
(This is a time separator.)
Naturally, Hades’ words didn’t apply to Altair.
That night, a small willo’thewisp found me.
“Altair.”
I mumbled as soon as the willo’thewisp… no, the communication spell, appeared.
“It’s dangerous here.”
The willo’thewisp flickered and red letters appeared on it.
[Know a safe place?]Who does he think he is, using informal language on our first meeting?
I glanced at the sleeping Aimi. Luckily, Hades was quite busy with his changed retinue for the winter, and Altair’s group as well.
I answered briefly.
“South 7, East 6.”
It was an old hideout that even Hades probably didn’t know about.
[Got it. See you there.]Joy filled me at the reply. Any lingering doubt vanished. No one but a real game player would understand that language.
I hurriedly left the room. I had to finish talking to Altair before Hades returned.
As soon as I reached the hideout, Altair sprang to his feet.
‘You didn’t bring anyone else.’
That meant, among the other characters, there was no one else who had reincarnated.
We just looked at each other for a moment.
Altair was the very image of Leto from the game. Silvery hair, red eyes, and a sleek appearance. If he hadn’t called himself Altair, even I would have thought he was Leto.
Altair was the first to speak.
“…You.”
He’s using informal speech again.
Before I could even furrow my brow, Altair abruptly shouted.
“Who saved you?”
I quickly grasped the situation. Leto, or rather, Altair didn’t seem to think that ‘I’ had possessed Angelica.
So he assumed that some other possessor, namely ‘me,’ had saved me.
For a moment, a thought flashed across my mind.
Do I need to tell him that I also possess?
I know about Leto, but not about Altair.
While I’m confident that Leto would trust and cherish me, where is the guarantee that Altair, being another possessor, would cooperate with me?
Being cautious rather than naively spilling everything was the best course of action.
“…You haven’t told me your name.”
I lowered my head with a sad face.
“I wanted to know the name of my benefactor, but…”
“What did they look like?”
Altair took a big step towards me.
“Eye color, hair color, anything is fine. Tell me everything.”
“Why should I?”
I asked in a voice that sounded genuinely curious.
As much as possible, I tried to impersonate the ‘real Angelica.’
“They’ve said good things about you, but I can’t trust you. They never mentioned you being this violent…”
Altair stared at me intensely.
“You spoke of me?”
“Yes.”
I nodded my head.
“You are my only hope, so come with me to Donovan’s dukedom when you find him. But… your real name is Leto, right?”
Altair’s eyes grew cold.
“That’s a name from the past.”
He glared at me as he spoke.
“Tell me what your benefactor looked like. I’ll find them for you.”
Despite his mundane words, his tone was chilling, making my skin crawl.
As expected, Altair was not the type to be easily trusted.
‘I need to thoroughly hide the fact that I possess.’
I quickly thought on my feet.
If I talked about a nonexistent combination, he’d be suspicious.
‘Should I take a little gamble?’
I pretended to think for a moment.
“She was a dazzling beauty with golden hair and red eyes. The kind anyone would look back at.”
“…!”
Altair opened his mouth, but then closed it again.
It made sense; in all of Leodel, only one person matched those features.
Elishia Steinhardt.
The empire’s first princess, who was betrothed to Hades.
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 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.
