Lately, Aini sensed that the maid, Louise, was looking at her with something akin to worship.
Of course, Louise had always been excessively loyal to Aini. However, it intensified after the zombie incident.
“Your Majesty, did you ever save Louise’s life?”
Even the other maids seemed puzzled.
“I don’t know.”
It was a strange occurrence. On the day the zombies appeared, Aini was no different from the nobles who were of no help.
The shining lights that day were the knights who rushed towards the zombies, Emperor Hyacinth who calmly assessed the situation and gave instructions, and two special envoys from Tarium.
Aini was utterly unable to understand at what point Louise was moved by her.
“Eh? Your Majesty, where are you going?”
“To the underground prison.”
“Are you going to see Redler again?”
“I’m just curious to see if she’s getting any better.”
“I’m worried it might be dangerous. Redler isn’t sane right now…….”
“It’s okay. She’s properly restrained.”
With that, Aini donned a light cloak, intending to visit the maid, who was now a zombie, and left her room.
As she descended the stairs and entered the underground prison, the air immediately turned chilly. Each step echoed clearly as her shoes met the stone.
“Your Majesty, you’ve arrived.”
As Aini reached the deepest part of the prison, the wardens and investigators bowed in greeting.
Aini waved a hand in response and looked around. The underground level of the prison held knights and doctors who turned into zombies due to the incident at the party.
At the center of them all was Redler, the first to become a zombie.
No one had changed Redler’s clothes, so she was still wearing her bloodstained white dress the one she had been wearing when she died inside the flower pyre.
Aini, with a sad expression, walked towards her.
“It’s dangerous.”
“It’s okay as long as I don’t get too close. And… I would like some space.”
Upon Aini’s order, the wardens and investigators warned her never to open the prison doors before ascending to the upper levels.
Aini approached the prison.
“Redler.”
Long pieces of silver had been affixed to the bars inside the prison. It was an old wives’ tale that creatures of the dark were weak against silver.
Redler, hands bound high above her head, snarled as Aini approached.
Like a beast starved for a long time, finally encountering another life. The friend who had intended to bring an amulet for Aini was now someone else.
“Redler… who did this to you?”
Though her friend couldn’t hear her voice, Aini lowered hers and asked. Instead of a reply, Redler shook her chains wildly and roared like a beast.
With a heart full of sorrow, Aini looked at her and asked in a tiny voice, barely audible.
“Was it Hyum?”
“Aini.”
At that moment, a voice from behind made Aini scream and spin around. The sudden move resulted in her back hitting the bars, causing Redler to howl even more.
As Aini nearly fell forward, Hyum caught her. Aini quickly pulled away from him. Hyum watched her fearfully.
‘Did he hear?’
Swallowing dryly, Aini looked at Hyum. He must have heard it. He had called her name from right behind.
But how had he appeared here? Aini looked at Hyum, her suspicion clear.
But his words were unexpected.
“Who’s Carlein?”
Aini flinched.
“What are you talking about?”
“They say you’re chasing after him.”
“!”
“Is it true?”
At Hyum’s question, Aini bit her lip before answering.
“I think… we were lovers in a previous life.”
It was absurd, but because it was so absurd, she decided to try saying it to Hyum.
She had thought that Hyum, being a surreal existence, might understand this strange situation better than anyone else.
“I don’t remember everything. But after I met him, every moment I spent with him keeps coming back to me. As if the sealed memories were slowly being unlocked…….”
Aini studied Heum’s expression before asking.
“Do I seem strange to you?”
Heum gave a sad smile.
“That’s not something I really want to hear.”
“!”
“But there could be beings like me who remember their past lives.”
As Heum moved towards the bars where Redler was confined, the previously screaming Redler suddenly fell silent. Leaning back, Heum stared at him before asking.
“Does he also say that you seem like a lover from his past life?”
Aini shook her head.
“My past self and my current self are completely different. Not only that, he…… has no memory of his past life at all.”
Heum asked again.
“If you approached him as your past self, would he recognize you?”
“I’m not sure.”
Then, suddenly, Heum turned around and grabbed Aini’s wrist. In the blink of an eye, Aini screamed. At the sound, the guards waiting upstairs rushed down.
“Your Majesty! Are you alright?”
“Your Majesty!”
With her hand on her pounding heart, Aini shook her head.
“I’m fine.”
Heum had disappeared without a trace. As the guards and inspectors approached Aini, she glanced between Redler and the barely visible darkness before hastily climbing up the stairs.
In her palm, a cold sensation could be felt within her tightly clenched fist.
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:
