Maiana tapped Ariante’s back gently once more, and finally, the eyes of the two met.
“What’s that?”
Maiana lightly tickled Ariante’s smooth chin.
“Let’s go see what it is together. But don’t scream or let go of my hand like earlier. Got it? There are many people. What if you get excited and fall? What will we do then?”
“I won’t fall!”
“But our lady might fall too.”
Ariante’s eyes widened in surprise. However, as Maiana subtly gestured, indicating to look, she suddenly burst into a chuckle.
“You should speak politely, Maiana!”
Smiling mischievously, Maiana playfully shook Ariante, who seemed to be taken aback.
“What’s speaking politely? Show me an example, my lady.”
As if it wasn’t difficult at all, Ariante cheekily pinched the tip of Maiana’s nose.
“Even our lady falls.”
In an instant, the strength flowed into Maiana’s fingertips holding Ariante. Observing the trembling Maiana with clenched fists, Ariante remarked, “Maiana, your nostrils got really big.”
Unable to bear it any longer, Maiana wet her head and burst into laughter. The sound was so loud that it even caught the attention of the jesters performing in front of the fountain.
A jester with green paper attached below his eyes, forming water droplet shapes, waved his hand towards Ariante. Then, as if gesturing for her to come closer, he picked up a paper balloon and started moving it.
“Maiana, that thing! That thing!”
“I get it, I get it! If you struggle like that, I won’t let you down. Behave!”
Ariante quickly pretended to calm down. However, her eyes continued to sparkle, fixed on the jesters. After Maiana released her, Ariante dashed away faster than a squirrel, grabbing a paper balloon and shaking it vigorously.
“Maiana! Maiana! Come here and look, look! Look at this!”
“If you shake it so hard, the balloon will burst, my lady.”
“Look at this! There’s something inside! What’s inside? What is this?”
Ariante, pointing at the shadows visible inside the paper balloon, jumped up and down excitedly. Sweat already trickled down her forehead, and the intricate hairstyle that Venti had skillfully crafted was now more than halfway undone, a mess.
However, Maiana thought that such a sight suited Ariante better. It was much better than sitting quietly like a doll.
“Go and ask.”
As Maiana spoke, looking towards the jesters, Ariante’s large eyes blinked a few times. Ariante turned around, then looked back at Maiana, tightly clutching the tail of the paper balloon.
“You ask.”
“Why, Lady? Are you afraid of the jesters?”
“Not afraid! Still, you ask.”
Whenever she received a balloon and got excited, Ariante, holding onto Maiana’s sleeve, would dangle it around.
Suddenly, Maiana wondered how the servants of the Duke would react if they saw Ariante like this. They had been looking down on Ariante, labeling her as a ‘crazy fool’ or an ‘irredeemable lady,’ finding fault with whatever she did. Unable to harm a seven-year-old child, they were becoming restless.
What could they possibly know about Ariante? Maiana was suddenly caught in a complex feeling.
Ariante was neither a crazy fool nor an irredeemable lady. She was a typical child who enjoyed playing, was curious about everything, wanted to appear well in front of people she liked, cried when hurt, and pouted when embarrassed.
“Maiana.”
As if asking why, Ariante shook Maiana’s sleeve more firmly.
Maiana replied, “It’s best to ask directly when you’re curious, Lady. But since it’s the first time, I’ll go with you. Is that okay?”
Turning her head, Ariante glanced again at the jesters. After contemplating for a while, she finally grabbed Maiana’s hand.
With a worried expression, Ariante hesitated and said, “What if they make fun of me for not knowing such things?”
Maiana responded, “Then I’ll scold them until tears come out, so don’t worry.”
Sediloi, getting off the carriage, stood still, gazing cautiously at Madame Celine’s old and small house.
Although only the roof tiles seemed clean and sturdy, as if newly replaced, everything else appeared fragile and insecure, as if it could crumble at any moment.
In reality, that wasn’t the case, but Sediloi couldn’t shake the feeling that Madame Celine’s house would disappear like a sandcastle blown away by the wind.
“Your Excellency, is there any problem?”
Coleman, who had accompanied him, asked cautiously when Sediloi remained silent. However, instead of answering, Sediloi let out a short sigh.
“No, there’s no problem. You wait here.”
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.
