“It’s Carlein. That mercenary king, Carlein.”
“……”
Sonnaught looked down at the portraits of all these handsome men with a stiff face and snickered.
“You’ve chosen all kinds.”
“Do you think I chose well?”
“If you focus on diversity, you’ve chosen well.”
“Do you see any men with bad impressions? The kind of thing that men see amongst themselves.”
“All of them are bad.”
“……Really?”
Is that so? They don’t look that bad? As Latil tilted her head and scrutinized the portraits, the butler who had been silently listening to the conversation stepped forward and spoke.
“Your Majesty. How about bringing in the harem candidates ten days from now, is that okay?”
“Ten days? Is that okay?”
Wondering if the time was too short, Latil asked, and the butler replied.
“They are all staying nearby as they submitted their documents.”
Without thinking too long, Latil answered him to do so. As the butler gathered the documents and left, Latil alternately showed a tense and weird face.
‘I used to dream of marrying a man a few years ago, but now I’m going to have five men in my harem……’
The strange feeling she felt the day after she declared a harem came back. Latil kept biting her lips and turned her head to look at the commander of the Knight Sonnaught. He was looking at Latil with his usual light smile.
Latil clasped her hands on the table and bent her upper body over them, chuckling and playfully asking.
“Sonnaught, how do you think Hyacinth feels right now? Is he upset?”
However, the sincerity was hidden in this jokelike question. Latil really wanted very much. She wished that Hyacinth was now very upset, almost to the point of dying.
The commander of the Knight Sonnaught calmly smiled and assured her.
“Of course.”
“Do you think so? But looking at him sending his brother, he seems fine.”
‘Looking at him picking a lunatic, he seems not just fine but rational.’
But the commander of the Knight Sonnaught again answered with a polite but certain tone.
“No. He would have been completely upset.”
Then he paused for a moment and quietly added.
“I can assure you.”
Latil did not notice the faint sadness in those words.
“Then it’s a relief.”
Latil, sighing, stared into the void for a moment, then sighed once more and rose.
“More importantly, have you had dinner? If you haven’t eaten, let’s eat together.”
[This is the time separator]It was when Latil was taking the Commander of the Knights through the long corridor to the dining room.
A knight, tasked with watching Anakcha, the harem of the empress and mother of Prince Tla, hurriedly ran towards Latil.
The knight stopped at a certain distance and reported with a weary face.
“Your Majesty, Lady Anakcha is refusing to eat and is demanding to see you.”
Anakcha was banished to the tower immediately after Latil reclaimed the palace a week ago, and since then, Latil had not seen her separately. Latil responded brusquely.
“If she doesn’t want to eat, tell her not to eat.”
Then, as Latil was about to pass by coolly, the knight hurriedly added.
“It’s the fifth day. She has not eaten for five days.”
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
