Guinevere had left Larisa with the maids and was investigating the traces of magic where her son had died, or rather, where he had turned back time. Magic flows like water but also has the property of being contained in a substance, like water in a cup, so investigating traces of magic required as much time as a fossil excavation.
Moreover, it was a task that demanded an immense outpouring of magical energy. Guinevere, having poured all her magic over the traces left by William’s magic, staggered out of the room.
Her apprentice, Hedel, who had been waiting outside, quickly stood up.
“Bring me a magic recovery potion. Now.”
“You’ve used them all. There’s none left. Instead of waiting for more to be made, it would be faster for you to rest… What is that?”
Hedel gaped at the massive sphere of magic behind Guinevere. The thing she had materialized with her magic looked like a huge tangle of thread at first glance, but upon closer inspection, each strand was an incredible flow of magical energy, moving at tremendous speed.
“…Are you planning to obliterate the continent?”
Hedel, regaining his composure, asked. Guinevere leaned against the door frame and then slumped to the floor.
“Shut up and bring the magic recovery potion. You must have some stashed away.”
“What are you going to do with that? Tell me you’re not planning to obliterate the continent.”
“If I don’t recover my magic soon, I won’t be able to control that, and the continent will be gone.”
Hedel, pale-faced, teleported to his room and brought back all his magic recovery potions. Guinevere downed all five bottles in one go, causing Hedel to look distressed.
“Now tell me. What is that? What are you doing?”
“I’m restoring magic.”
Hedel was bewildered. Restoring magic typically required ten times the magic of the original spell, but for a master like Guinevere, with extreme control over her magic, only three times was necessary.
Still, seeing the enormous sphere filling Guinevere’s vast laboratory, Hedel wondered what kind of spell required such an amount of magic.
“Have you already obliterated a continent?”
“…”
“It’s not this one, so the opposite continent?”
“It’s not a continent, but time that was obliterated.”
‘Not by me, but by William.’
Guinevere lay on the floor, waiting for her magic to recover.
Realizing she had no intention of explaining further, Hedel tried to find his own answers, misunderstanding her meaning as wasting time.
“Don’t go in there.”
Hedel stopped in his tracks.
“Would you take responsibility if a single hair of yours goes in there and causes an explosion?”
“Why are you doing something so dangerous? Did you get royal permission?”
“…That’s for later.”
“If you start something like this without permission, who’s going to deal with the aftermath? You might as well kill me!”
Hedel, feeling pity for himself, having to bear the consequences, sat down beside Guinevere.
Even so, he couldn’t take his eyes off the sphere of magic. The complex flow of magic was so fast that a single collision could cause a huge explosion.
Despite knowing this, Hedel’s eyes were drawn to the magic, and he was startled by a faint humming sound.
“…I hear something.”
Normally, uncast magic doesn’t make a sound. Even when materialized into light, that’s all it is. If magic made sound, the world would be too noisy.
Magic exists in a different dimension beyond human perception and only manifests in three dimensions, vibrating the air to produce sound when a mage casts a spell.
Guinevere had no idea how to handle children. She had given birth to William, but his upbringing was entirely entrusted to nurses and nannies. Though she had decided to raise Larisa herself, Guinevere had her limits in what she thought was feasible.
“Just feed her well, fatten her up. She’s too skinny to be of any use. I’ll come to check in a month.”
‘Once she’s at a normal weight, I can start teaching her something.’
Investing money and checking periodically was Guinevere’s idea of ensuring a child’s proper growth. Since William never really caused any trouble or upset her until his marriage, she never doubted her parenting methods.
After handing Larisa over to the maids, Guinevere swirled her cloak and turned away. The maids bowed their heads until she disappeared down the corridor. Larisa, following suit, bowed her head too.
The maid holding Larisa’s hand sighed with relief once Guinevere was gone. She then looked at the little girl and asked,
“You’re Larisa, right? I’m Daisy.”
“Hello, Daisy sister.”
“Do you know why Lady Rodante wants you to gain weight?”
“…No.”
Larisa’s eyes started to well up with fear. Daisy’s back was slapped by the other maids.
“Why are you asking her that?”
“Ouch, I was just curious.”
“She’s about to cry.”
“No, it’s… do you like candy?”
Daisy took out a candy she used to snack on when her sugar levels dropped. Larisa’s eyes widened, and she nodded. She had only tasted candy once before, a sweet and happy experience.
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?
