Sitting on the chilly floor, I wrote for a while, and my hands and feet froze. My fingers were stiff and barely moved due to the cold. However, time was running out, and there was no room to thaw my hands.
That’s when it happened.
“Muzel?”
“!”
I heard a familiar voice calling my name from afar.
“Your Highness Crown Prince?”
“Ah, it’s you.”
With a subtle sound of the closing door, Klaus seemed to have entered the archive.
I spoke urgently, though briefly, “It’s almost done. Just one more book to copy.”
“The sun has set. We need to leave quickly.”
His voice was getting closer. Klaus was approaching me from inside.
“It’s really almost done.”
There was almost no time to respond. Damn, my hands wouldn’t listen to me because I was getting anxious.
“Muzel.”
Suddenly, Klaus revealed himself. He knelt on the floor, glancing at me, who was focused on copying.
“Have you been in this position all along?”
Without answering, I concentrated only on transcribing the numbers.
Klaus also had no choice but to gather his knees beside me and squat down.
“We have to get out of here while the librarian is dozing off. Otherwise…”
Otherwise?
While silently following his words in my mind, an ominous sound was heard.
Click.
“!”
“……!”
Klaus and I froze in place.
“Your Highness?”
“Haah……”
Klaus sighed.
I spoke with a trembling voice, “Your Highness, could it be that we…?”
Klaus turned his head to me with a creaking sound.
“Looks like…”
“Trapped, we’re trapped… right?”
“…….”.
His pale expression was the answer.
We looked at each other with despairing faces.
“…….”.
“…….”.
Darkness had descended into the archive.
With no light coming in, work was impossible.
I put down the pen and sat still. In the darkness, Klaus’s extinguishing voice echoed.
“I really hate this archive.”
Now that I thought about it, he used to detest it because he believed in ghosts. How did he end up coming to this place?
“When I was very young, my father played a prank on me. I was inside, and he closed the door from outside.”
He chuckled.
“Even though it was just for a short time, the fear from that moment stayed with me until now, making this place my least favorite.”
“…….”.
I felt deeply sorry for him.
His father’s thoughtless prank had left a trauma on him.
Moreover, when Klaus hesitated to enter the archive earlier, he refrained from making annoying jokes because, in a light-hearted way, I found him cute.
Now, once again, he found himself trapped like this.
“But this time, I’m here with you.”
I said, trying to comfort him. I wanted to somehow relieve him of his trauma.
Klaus’s voice echoed again in the darkness.
“Muzel, are you beside me?”
“Yes.”
I reached out in his direction. Something touched my fingertips in the darkness. It was Klaus’s shoulder.
He suddenly grabbed my hand.
In that moment, both he and I were utterly surprised.
“……!”
“Haha, you’re like an ice sculpture!”
He held my hand tightly and, with his other hand, touched my arm and shoulder.
“How did it get this cold?”
His hand, exploring my arm, suddenly stopped. Then, it slowly moved down again.
“Wait, this is…”
Klaus’s voice became frighteningly low.
I couldn’t move as if I had turned into an ice pillar.
His hand, passing through my arm and shoulder, finally reached my lower back.
“Muzel, you…”
I tightly shut my eyes.
His low voice echoed in my ear.
“Could it be, are you a woman?”
“……!”
The secret was revealed.
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?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
