Inside the rapidly moving carriage heading towards the Duke’s castle.
Thanks to Sion breaking the seats, the carriage was spacious enough for five adults to lie down.
Aghh!
As the arrow piercing her abdomen was removed, the unconscious Esdel let out a scream.
Sion cradled her head in his lap, putting his hand in her mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue.
‘It’s okay. It’s okay, Esdel.’
He held her cooling body close.
‘Please, let my warmth warm you up. You can’t cool down anymore.’
“Where is the doctor!”
Sion yelled at the old doctor.
Wiping sweat from his brow, the doctor examined Esdel’s wound.
Her upper body was bare, except for a cloth covering her chest, revealing her wound starkly.
Sion’s heart tore at the sight.
“Thankfully, it seems her organs aren’t damaged. But her condition is unpredictable…”
The Duke commanded.
“She must be saved.”
A roar thrown at the doctor and the pale-faced magician, Sion’s voice was like a beast’s growl.
“Your Highness, your shoulder is bleeding.”
“I won’t die from losing a shoulder!”
Sion shouted at the pale Adrian Eodel.
“Your Highness…”
“Adrian, can’t you do anything with your powers?!”
Adrian had never seen Sion so broken.
The carriage was already stained with the woman’s blood. The Duke, holding her, was indifferent to their blood mixing.
“Adrian, save her.”
“······.”
The young magician, undoubtedly the empire’s best, had never seen something like this.
Esdel’s condition wasn’t just due to the arrow wound. It was more…
“Your Highness, this isn’t just a wound.”
“Then?”
“Look. Black magic dances over Knight Esdel’s body.”
“!”
The Duke felt it too.
Faces distorting like illusions, then returning to normal. A body trembling wildly like a fragile glass in a storm.
“The cause is unknown, but that recent attack disrupted the magic, no, magics covering her. If this continues, she’ll die from the magical outburst, not the wound.”
“Can’t you stop the magic?!”
Sion shouted. No, he pleaded.
Pain in his shoulder was long forgotten. His heart was the one tearing apart.
What kind of cruel experiences had she endured to be bound by not one but multiple black magics?
What had happened to her, the white butterfly, no, Esdel?
The doctor exclaimed.
“Right! I thought it was strange. She’s bleeding too much, especially with these seizure-like tremors.”
“······I’ll try.”
Adrian spoke up.
“Please.”
“But.”
Hesitating to try something, the young magician paused at the Duke’s words.
“I said before, I don’t understand the nature of the black magics covering her. There are two. Both are deadly, but how did she survive? But why does one seem so familiar?”
“Adrian!”
Sion roared, as Esdel coughed up blood again.
“Argh! I don’t know! I’ll just do it, Your Highness!”
Frightened by Sion’s almost lost sanity, Adrian began.
“La… Divina Arcangelo, Defende nos in proelio…”
Adrian formed hand signs, starting a spell to neutralize the black magic.
His voice spread through the carriage. Esdel’s trembling slowly subsided.
“Is it working?!”
The doctor clasped his hands in prayer-like relief.
Sion saw it. Almost invisible but not, thin films rippling over Esdel.
As the spell progressed, Esdel’s trembling began to calm down, bringing a glimmer of hope.
Despite Esdel being within reach, she seemed surrounded by something untouchable, something that was hurting her.
‘Please… let this woman go.’
Adrian, with eyes closed, sweated profusely as he chanted the spell.
Kwang!
A massive, invisible explosion erupted from Esdel.
The black magics enveloping her attacked Adrian.
One side of the moving carriage burst open, and the young magician was hurled outside.
The force was strong enough to break his neck.
Fortunately, the boy protected himself with magic at the moment of impact.
It was Sion who shielded Esdel and the doctor with his body.
The messenger who had left earlier fortunately arrived at the castle first.
Thus, everyone at the Duke’s castle was ready to receive the bloody Duke and the seemingly lifeless Esdel from the half-destroyed carriage.
Seeing the Duke’s condition, Steward Lüwine Axel screamed.
Arcadia, who followed the steward, froze on the spot.
His eyes lingered on the bloodied Duke, then rested on Esdel, slumped in the Duke’s arms. Her white fur was stained red.
Arcadia staggered towards Esdel.
“Esdel. Esdel?”
“Arcadia,” the Duke called.
“What happened? Was it a beast?”
“Sangtus.”
“!”
“······Arcadia.”
At that moment, the Duke collapsed.
“Your Highness!”
Even in that situation, Sion held Esdel.
“Arcadia. Take care of Esdel…”
“Doctor! What are you doing!”
Fueled by rage, Arcadia’s shout prompted the castle’s doctors to place Esdel on a stretcher.
“Hurry to the infirmary! And the Duke too!”
Arcadia grabbed Sion’s uninjured shoulder. The wounded shoulder was blackened, the remaining poison eating away at the flesh.
Arcadia yelled.
“Get up! Hurry! Don’t let the poison defeat 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.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with 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.
