Odette, with Arnold’s assistance, arrived directly at the Crown Prince’s palace. Initially, when Arnold conveyed the story to her, Odette was skeptical of Cedric’s request. Despite her marriage to Valter, Odette had no intention of revealing her relationship with Cedric. However, if Cedric were to return and openly meet Odette, most people would likely sense some kind of connection between them.
Fortunately, Cedric and Valter were on good terms, and Cedric knew that Valter disliked Odette being the center of trouble. So, it seemed unlikely that Odette’s name would be dragged into this kind of happening.
Therefore, Odette planned to politely refuse and keep things under control.
” Refusal, I see. That’s regrettable. Her Highness will be disappointed.”
” Please convey my regards to my uncle. It was too abrupt to have tea together, and I’m not sure what business he has…”
” Hmm, is that so? His Excellency Duke Ertman is also in the Crown Prince’s palace, so perhaps Her Highness wanted to meet you both, considering that you two are married.”
“…Valter is there, you say?”
And at that moment, the image of Valter’s ‘smiling face’ flashed through Odette’s mind. Pavel, the last warning, and Cedric’s earnest letters against marrying Valter.
“…Could it be that I caused a problem by celebrating my marriage before my uncle’s return?”
So, did they think I ignored and insulted my uncle’s advice? And am I taking out my frustration on Valter?!
Odette’s imagination, unaware of the real situation, grew larger and more elaborate.
In the end, she boldly stepped out of the door, imagining Valter being strung up and punished.
And in case Valter was being harassed, she rushed with a worried heart.
“…Cedric, uncle? Valter?”
Once she opened the door, what she saw was Cedric’s collar being firmly held by Valter’s menacing hand.
Only then did she realize that all her assumptions were falling apart, and Odette came to one realization.
In most situations, there was no need to worry about Valter…
“W-What on earth is this…?”
While Odette trembled in shock, Cedric, released from Valter’s hand as if nothing had happened, smoothed his clothes and smiled casually.
“It’s been a while, Odette.”
“It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.”
Contrary to Odette’s shaken state, Valter and Cedric were nonchalant.
“It’s been a while, Odette.”
“It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.”
It seemed that, while Valter’s hand held the Crown Prince’s collar, Cedric didn’t think much of it.
“Haha, it seems like the Duke has gone mad recently. Let’s put him in the infirmary and have a drink together, Odette. We must have a lot to talk about.”
“Unfortunately, that won’t be possible, Your Highness. My wife will be returning with me shortly.”
Valter said so, extending his hand towards Odette.
However, Odette didn’t shake his hand. For some reason, she wore a slightly wounded expression, causing Valter to raise an eyebrow.
“…Odette?”
“…Valter, I came here worrying about you. Just in case my uncle caused you trouble.”
“He did cause trouble, indeed. If you hadn’t come, I would have surely given him a thrashing.”
“And then you would be charged with assaulting a royal, right?”
Odette sighed and furrowed her brow.
“Don’t be rude to my uncle.”
“…Are you defending this guy?”
“I’m asking you to show the manners you should. It doesn’t matter if you implore me rudely, but it’s different for my uncle.”
As Valter held Cedric by the collar, many wings of imagination passed through Odette’s mind.
Knowing that Valter was originally reckless and unruly, it wasn’t surprising that he grabbed Cedric’s collar. However, what unsettled Odette was the fact that Cedric, someone on good terms with him, could be dismissed with a smiling face.
‘Even though our estate is under control due to a charge of disrespect towards the imperial family.’
If Valter were to disrespect Cedric, it could exacerbate the situation. The image of the ‘smiling face’ from Cedric’s letter, the final warning, crossed Odette’s mind.
Moreover, as Odette hadn’t even dreamt that Cedric valued her, the thought arose that both Valter and she might end up in Cedric’s hands.
‘At least I’m not too late to the scene…’
She sighed and spoke.
“Valter, I’ll talk to my uncle and then return, so you should go back first. With my return, the control over the estate would have been lifted, and you should be able to enter.”
Valter’s face contorted, but Odette did not console him. Right now, preventing Cedric from harming Valter and Ertman was the priority.
“Uncle, I will apologize on behalf of Valter for his rudeness. Valter, see you later.”
However, there was no response.
“…Valter?”
In puzzlement, Odette called Valter once again, and only then did he turn around.
Click. The sound of the doorknob turning echoed crisply.
Before leaving the room, Valter added, “When the conversation is over, let’s meet again, Cedric. I feel there is more to discuss with you.”
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:
