“So, Lumi, you need to fall deeply for Klaus. Enough to go against the family’s intentions.”
Lumi’s party usually had a preparation period significantly shorter than other parties.
This was evident from Klaus’s invitation. It was only ten days before the party.
I read the etiquette book in detail to attend the nobles’ party. However, it felt a bit insufficient just with that.
I couldn’t afford to embarrass Klaus at the first party I attended.
So, without Klaus’s knowledge, I visited the chief steward of the Imperial Palace.
“Chief Steward, may I have a moment to talk?”
“Oh, of course. Ms. Müzel.”
While Klaus went to meet the emperor, the chief steward was sitting and resting in the servants’ lounge.
Fortunately, he welcomed me without rejecting my unexpected visit.
As I couldn’t take up too much of his valuable time, I got straight to the point.
“I am planning to attend the Meklinger Duke’s party with His Highness the Crown Prince in a few days. However, it’s my first time attending such an event, and I wanted to make sure I won’t cause any trouble to His Highness.”
“I see.”
The chief steward thought for a moment, then smiled gently.
“If it’s Ms. Müzel, you have nothing to worry about. Unless His Highness explicitly orders you to keep your distance, staying within His Highness’s three-step radius should be sufficient. If someone invites you separately for a conversation, ask for His Highness’s permission.”
“Then, how should I match the formality of my attire? I don’t want it to be too cheap, considering it might be bothersome for His Highness.”
“Oh, don’t worry about that. His Highness the Crown Prince has given specific instructions.”
The chief steward chuckled warmly.
“Perhaps His Highness expected you to be concerned about your attire. He has ordered the artisan in charge of the imperial attire to prepare an outfit for you.”
“What? No, how did he know about my measurements…?”
“I find that part a bit surprising too, but it seems you’ll be able to wear it comfortably. Unlike dresses, men’s suits can be somewhat spacious, so it should be fine.”
“Ah…”
I was at a loss for words. Klaus was preparing my outfit.
The chief steward nodded, seemingly understanding my feelings.
“It seems that His Highness values you greatly. Just accept it with gratitude.”
“Yes…”
Finishing the conversation and leaving, my mind felt blank.
What the heck, all of a sudden.
I had just gathered my thoughts, and now I was being shaken like this again.
Why so unnecessarily affectionate?
“No, it can’t be that.”
I shook my head vigorously.
In my common sense, it wasn’t normal for a crown prince to be so kind to his aide.
But as someone unfamiliar with aristocratic society, maybe Klaus was preemptively preparing to prevent me from wearing cheap attire that might not suit the occasion, making sure I wouldn’t become a laughingstock at the party or return looking like a clown.
“…Yeah, that makes sense.”
A convincing conclusion was reached. Now I felt a bit relieved.
Maybe Klaus’s approach was right after all.
Not knowing the first thing about parties, becoming someone’s partner abruptly and returning after committing a breach of etiquette, it seemed safer to accumulate party experience by following Klaus as his aide without a designated partner.
Honestly, not knowing anything and not being close to Lady Ferner made it impolite to ask her individually.
As I returned to the office and was processing documents, Klaus came back a while later.
“Have you returned, Your Highness?”
Klaus responded to my greeting with a slight nod. He took a deep breath and sat at his desk.
“I thanked my father for the support funds in the flood-affected areas in the south. But it seems a one-time fund payment won’t be enough to fully recover.”
“In that case, regular funding should be allocated.”
“Right. I need to think about how to secure that budget.”
When trying to do something in the country, money was always involved. Already collected taxes were tightly budgeted, so to implement additional policies, ways to secure additional budget needed to be considered.
I decided to bring up the topic of property taxes.
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.
