Edith could see that Valter, who was looking pleased, had already been quite disappointed. If Valter, who was usually unstoppable with his words, stammered in such a situation, it was evident that Edith would shed tears again.
As Theo began to explain how beautiful the rules of Lexion’s magic were, using the terminology used by top wizards, Edith and Valter locked eyes. There was a reason they couldn’t put this method into practice.
“Father?”
“Yes. The magical abilities of relatives, including Sir Franz, cannot be used, and the father’s magical power is specifically required.”
“If you don’t know who your father is, you must quietly wait for the magical power to erupt…….”
Balter, who was usually chatty, changed his tone immediately as he received Edith’s cold gaze.
“—But, it will be resolved once we find your father. Since he wanted to see the face of his talented son, he must be alive and well.”
“He will be alive. Lady Leia said your father is a strong person.”
Although there was a possibility that Balter’s biological father might not be in this world, at the moment, there was no mental capacity to think about such possibilities.
Edith, in a tone that suggested no need for further discussion, stated firmly, “So, let’s start by finding your father.”
However, the search for Balter’s father showed little progress even after several days.
“The supposed father didn’t do much for me. I don’t remember anything.”
Balter shrugged and lightly tapped Adrian’s cheek, nestled in his arms.
“I’ll pass on many good things to the little one, so don’t worry about him forgetting his father like I did.”
“Daddy!”
“Yeah, whatever.”
Balter smiled and hugged Adrian even more tightly. Seeing the crescent-shaped eyes of the child resembling Edith, he felt uneasy.
Although he joked with the child, Balter was taking this matter more seriously than anyone else.
He contacted his three aunts first, evidence that he had not been particularly affectionate to others except Edith.
While waiting for them to visit the duke’s mansion, Edith cautiously explained the situation to Franz.
“You’ve kept Balter’s condition a secret from me for a while, so please help me this time, Sir Franz.”
“……”
Edith’s pleading voice was desperate. Therefore, Franz couldn’t help but feel sorry for keeping Balter’s condition a secret from his granddaughter.
Perhaps because he had deceived her.
‘Adrian seems to have been watching me since earlier.’
Franz instinctively realized that he couldn’t lose points to Edith any longer.
So, he contacted the three aunts, showing his intentions before Edith could make a move.
While they were waiting for the aunts to arrive, Edith cautiously explained the situation to Franz.
“You’ve kept Balter’s condition a secret from me for a while, so please help me this time, Sir Franz.”
“……”
Edith’s pleading voice was desperate. Therefore, Franz couldn’t help but feel sorry for keeping Balter’s condition a secret from his granddaughter.
Perhaps because he had deceived her.

Balter, sensing that Franz might immediately go to find them and inquire, asked, “Hwangtaeja?”
“Yes. The current Empress pushed aside the legitimate successor, who was the Hwangtaeja, in the process of seizing the throne. The late Hwangtaeja desired a formal relationship with Leia.”
“Did Lady Leia like him? I’m curious if he also practiced swordsmanship. Balter’s father always said he was tired from training.”
When Edith asked, Franz, with Lexion’s characteristic dignified and aloof face, replied, “The Hwangga has always boasted of a beautiful appearance through generations, and there is no family as befitting of the Hwangga’s dignity as Lexion. Leia was a wise girl, so if she chose one of those men, it would have been the Hwangtaeja.”
However, the opinion of Liriet, the youngest daughter of the duke who entered the mansion at the right time, was slightly different.
“The late Hwangtaeja? Oh no, it couldn’t be. Unnie hated him a lot, saying he had no abilities and it was just an inflated ego. Unnie is not the type to meet a man she doesn’t like for the sake of the family.”
“Kum.”
Liriet casually ignored her father’s bewildered reaction and handed a five-page document to Edith.
“For now, I made a list of the men that Unnie Leia was eyeing around that time.”
“……. ”
Edith had a hunch that finding Balter’s father would not be an easy task.
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.
