I Will No Longer Live As Your Villainess (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 6
Luans is a serpent-like man. Every time she heard his words, only one thought came to her mind.
‘What should I do? I don’t know what’s best.’
His words were always cunning. She knew they sounded pleasant but hid a venomous intent.
Even though she knew, she couldn’t escape or run away from Luans.
Had there ever truly been a place where she could flee and live in peace?
Once again, the words of Marquis Teishar Spencer of the Poloid Empire echoed ceaselessly in her mind.
Those words—calling her the child of Goddess Ella—were what her late mother had often told her.
Thus, she had wanted to speak more with Teishar, but Luans suddenly appeared, and she missed hearing what came next.
“If only I could meet Marquis Spencer….”
Lorencia wondered if her situation might improve, even slightly.
If that were the answer, perhaps she could save the people destined to die in the war Luans would ignite.
Lorencia tightly gripped the amethyst pendant hanging around her neck.
-Meow.
“Leo. Sorry, but could you get down from my lap?”
She had named the cat Leo, meaning “brave.”
-Meow.
As if understanding Lorencia’s words, Leo wagged his tail and leapt lightly to the floor.
Originally, today should have been the day Lorencia discovered her power to see the future. But that day had vanished. The future had twisted. To understand what would change because of it, she needed to gaze into the amethyst.
“It’s going to hurt.”
Seeing the future always came with excruciating eye pain. But hadn’t she already resolved to bear it herself!
Lorencia’s hands trembled. Her heart pounded like a cornered beast. She even thought that biting her tongue might bring relief. But she had to endure.
At the moment when terror reached its peak in Lorencia’s heart, she held her breath.
Unfastening the pendant, Lorencia closed one eye, gazed into the amethyst with the other, and tilted her head. The amethyst, catching the sparkling light of the chandelier on the ceiling, began to glow exquisitely.
[This is the timeline separator]Luans walked down the corridor of Count Paul Heredian’s manor, with Brandt beside him.
“How is Lorencia?”
“She’s in her room.”
“Is that monster still free of trouble today, Count?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Are you making sure she takes her potion properly?”
“Yes.”
Luans scanned the paintings on the wide corridor wall. The one that had hung there recently was gone, replaced by another.
“Count Paul Heredian. If you wish to enjoy more than your current life, you must take good care of that monster.”
Standing before Lorencia’s door, Luans spoke to Brandt.
“Understood.”
Brandt bowed deeply to Luans and returned to his office.
Watching Brandt walk away, Luans tilted one corner of his mouth upward.
Standing before Lorencia’s door, Luans’ cold face instantly softened into a smile as he gave a light knock.
“Lorencia.”
“Your Highness Prince Luans.”
Seeing Luans enter her room, Lorencia greeted him with the brightest smile she could muster.
-Meow.
“What’s this cat? Lorencia.”
When Lorencia picked up a kitten that had appeared from nowhere, a flicker of displeasure crossed Luans’ eyes.
“Isn’t he cute? Ilina gave him to me as a gift.”
“A gift?”
“Yes.”
Luans looked puzzled, as if unable to believe it.
“She said he’s the cutest kitten she’s ever seen and brought him to me. I’m so happy.”
“Really? That’s wonderful, Lorencia.”
“Yes. Since Ilina gave him to me as a gift… it feels like she’s finally accepting me as her sister, which makes me even happier than the gift itself.”
Lorencia gently stroked the kitten’s head with the back of her hand.
“I’ve named him Leo.”
“You don’t seriously plan to raise that kitten, do you? Lorencia.”
“Yes. Ilina… gave him to me as a gift from my younger sister. And thank you so much, Your Highness Prince Luans.”
“For what?”
Lorencia looked at Luans with a joyful expression.
“You’ve been thinking of my health and giving me that potion. I’ve taken it without missing a single day, and I really feel my body getting better.”
Lorencia gave Luans a small smile, recalling the time in the previous future when she had taken the potion he gave her.
The official name of the potion left daily by the maids was “Digenes.” It was also secretly called “Digen.” Though “Digenes” meant “peace,” ironically, the potion was banned from circulation because it was not meant for human consumption.
Just as people possess different talents, the capacity of their bodies to hold magic also varies. Thus, forcibly amplifying one’s magic power using Digenes would cause the body—the vessel holding the magic—to collapse from the strain.
In the previous future, when she finally learned that the potion Luans gave her was Digenes, she had no idea what Digenes actually was. She was utterly ignorant. No one had told her, and she’d never tried to find out.
She had simply believed, as Luans said, that it was a beneficial potion. But she accidentally overheard others discussing what kind of potion Digenes truly was. Once she understood its nature, she no longer wanted to drink it. When she said she didn’t want to take it, she was forced to swallow it under constant supervision.
But now things were different. No one watched to see if she actually drank the Digenes. She could just pretend to take it and throw it away.
What did Luans hope to gain by making her consume Digenes? She couldn’t tell. Perhaps her short stature and frail, unimpressive body were side effects of the “Digenes potion.”
“You feel better?”
“I can truly feel my body improving. Thank you for giving me such a good potion, Your Highness Prince Luans.”
Luans looked visibly taken aback by her absurd claim. Just then, the kitten meowed cutely and wriggled out of Lorencia’s arms.
“Thanks to Your Highness Prince Luans, I became Lady Lorencia and was able to leave the attic. And thanks to the potion you’ve given me, I’m regaining my health.”
Lorencia’s eyes curved gently.
“Thank you, Your Highness Prince Luans.”
Luans quickly masked his surprise and lifted the corner of his mouth.
“Good. You’ve done well listening to me.”
“Yes, Your Highness Prince Luans. From now on, I’ll follow only your words.”
Lorencia showed him an innocent, guileless smile.
“I actually had something I wanted to tell you, Your Highness Prince Luans.”
“Something to tell me?”
“Last night… I had a dream.”
At the mention of a dream, Luans’ face immediately filled with anticipation. Why hadn’t she realized it back then? That he was so transparently obvious…
“What kind of dream?”
“In the dream…”
Lorencia carefully stepped closer and whispered quietly into his ear. When she told him she’d dreamed of Crown Prince Adrian being killed by someone’s arrow, his expression slowly transformed into one of quiet satisfaction.
“It’s just a dream, but it’s still shocking, isn’t it?”
Luans gently stroked Lorencia’s head as she spoke cautiously.
“It’s alright, Lorencia.”
“Why would I have such a dream?”
Lorencia lowered her head slightly with a dejected look.
“But did you see who shot the arrow into my brother’s chest?”
“To be honest, I saw many people in the dream.”
“Really?”
“It’s not certain, but I think it was someone from the Poloid Empire.”
“The Poloid Empire?”
“I don’t know much about it—does such an empire actually exist?”
Lorencia asked for confirmation. Luans nodded and affirmed the existence of the Poloid Empire.
“From their conversation, it sounded like the person who shot the Crown Prince was a noble from the Poloid Empire.”
“A noble? Hmm. Do you remember what they said exactly?”
“They said they’d accidentally shot the wrong arrow and hit the Isther Crown Prince, and since he seemed to have died, they needed to return quickly to the Poloid Empire.”
Among the many futures she’d glimpsed through the amethyst, Lorencia had confirmed one where she could meet Teishar soonest. Each time she peered into the amethyst pendant, great pain followed—but if enduring it could prevent Luans from becoming emperor and stop the horrific war, she would gladly bear any amount of suffering.
“Did they say who fired the arrow?”
“They mentioned Marquis Spencer. Isn’t it an incredibly vivid dream? But to think the empire I heard in the dream actually exists—it’s amazing! Could the Marquis Spencer from my dream really be a real person?”
Soon, diplomatic envoys from various empires would arrive in the Isther Empire for the Emperor’s birthday celebration, including a delegation from the Poloid Empire. They would enjoy evening banquets and go hunting in the mountains near the imperial palace the following day.
But Lorencia couldn’t wait until the Emperor’s birthday. Princess Charlotte of the Poloid Empire would soon arrive in the Isther Empire to become engaged to Crown Prince Adrian—under the escort of Marquis Teishar Spencer.
She had confirmed a future where she could speak with him alone. Now that she’d found the future she wanted, she had to act upon it. According to the future, she would have to endure terrible trials to meet Teishar—but she had to endure them.
“Lorencia. That Marquis Spencer truly exists.”
“Really?”
“From now on, you must tell me every dream you have. Before you sleep, try thinking of something that might help me. Who knows? You might dream something useful for me.”
“I always go to sleep thinking of Your Highness Prince Luans.”
“Did you fall asleep thinking of me last night too?”
“Of course. I prayed that Your Highness Prince Luans’ wish would come true and that you’d be happy.”
“Lorencia.”
As long as Luans believed in her dreams, he wouldn’t threaten Crown Prince Adrian’s life for now. For the moment, that was enough.
“If Your Highness Prince Luans wishes it, I’ll tell you every dream I have from now on.”
Lorencia had already decided what she would gradually explain to Luans starting tomorrow. The image of him becoming utterly restless, clinging desperately to her dreams, filled her with immense anticipation.
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~
