“Escape well, very well.”
With a mischievous smile, Balter lied that they had to be close to hear and allowed Edith to wrap her arms around him.
Then, folding his arms halfway, he embraced her and infused magic into the necklace.
As the strong yet tender voice of Lea flowed out, Edith found herself smiling uncontrollably. Her chest felt tight, and her eyes inexplicably warmed up.
“Seems like my son also likes you a lot. Ah, I should talk about my son first.”
“I see.”
Balter added cheerfully for her tearful state. Thanks to him, Edith’s tears were diverted.
After listening to the voice contained in the necklace, she couldn’t help but ask.
“Lady Lea doesn’t mention who your father is again this time.”
“This time?”
“Yeah. Even when I asked a few times when I was young, she always subtly skipped over the stories about your father. It seemed like she only told me that you never saw your father.”
Perhaps that’s why. Balter had no literal memories about his father.
Edith, feeling frustrated due to her lack of memory, shared what she knew with him.
“Well, for now… you said there were times when you watched him training at the martial arts hall from a distance. It seems like your father’s hobby was honing martial arts skills.”
“A knight?”
“He said, ‘Even if you have talent, it’s best not to stand out in the eyes of others.’ Oh! And…”
Although it didn’t seem very helpful, Lady Lea had emphasized one crucial aspect.
“He was a man with a very refined appearance. Sometimes she mentioned needing to meet a handsome man who could calm her anger through a fight.”
“Our mistress has a good ear for advice.”
Edith couldn’t retort to Balter’s teasing. It seemed like useless information. Balter might have been able to deduce that his father was a refined person just by looking in the mirror.
“He seemed to be slightly older than Lady Lea… When you were young, you used to say you knew who your father was.”
Edith, with an indifferent expression, remembered the ‘Our father is busy.’ phrase that Isaac used.
“It would be good if you could recall when—”
As she was about to say that, suddenly some things caught her attention.
For instance, the times she deliberately mistreated young Isaac, or the times she secretly kissed him to monopolize the boy she had a crush on.
She even remembered the time she threatened him with tears and snot, telling him to marry her when she found out he was leaving Portrion.
“Isaac! You have to marry me. Got it? Answer me!”
“Huh?”
“Answer, you fool! Hurry and say you’ll marry me! Say you’ll marry me and hug me every day!”
“Okay, got it. So, we’re getting married.”
“Where’s the engagement ring? We still have to keep up appearances!”
“Ring? Me?”
“…”
Back then, it was the beginning of adolescence, and everything was sensitive and irritable. She was both scared and unwilling for Isaac to leave.
If the present-day Edith knew what her past self did to the past Isaac, she would have been ashamed to the point of death if Balter found out.
“Why stop talking.”
“Well… I’ll help you quickly recover memories about your father and mother.”
Edith spoke, deliberately leaving out memories about herself. Seeing her reaction, Balter couldn’t help but become more curious.
“What in the world did this woman do to take me.”
Thinking that he had to recover memories to recall how lovely she was in her childhood, Balter comforted her with a kiss.
Thinking about moving to the Lexion Duchy and preparing everything so that Edith could safely give birth, then marrying her right after the child was born, Balter planned to win her heart and trust somehow.
If he could do that, he could start married life with a healthy newborn. Then, he could find a nanny for Edith so that she could attend the academy. They could take the carriage to the academy, holding the baby during the time when classes ended…
“When everything is done, let’s go back to our mansion, Edith.”
Taking a smiling Edith on the carriage, he thought it would be delightful to bring her to a permanent place where she couldn’t leave.
“If I fill the study with books, maybe she’ll stay in the mansion until she finishes reading them all.”
Balter chuckled at his own whimsical thought, as if he were picking a small piece of cheese to put in a mouse trap.
The next day, the words uttered by the Lexion’s chief physician shattered his absurd daydream into pieces.
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~
