Please Break Up with Me, I Beg! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 6
This time?
As Litania looked up in confusion, Orbis gently continued, avoiding her gaze.
“I’ve heard that humans sometimes fall in love at first sight.”
Humans, huh.
Anyone listening would think I’m not human.
“Falling in love at first sight? Yes, I suppose that happens. But marriage is different, isn’t it?”
“Isn’t marriage supposed to be with someone you’ve fallen in love with?”
Orbis looked slightly uneasy—not teasing, but genuinely puzzled.
“No, I mean… it’s not that such people don’t exist in the world, but I seek a more natural meeting…”
“Orbis-sama!”
The chamberlain, whose face had turned a sickly blue-gray, rushed in, cutting off Litania’s words.
“Pant… pant… I searched everywhere—where on earth were you… what were you doing…?”
“We were dancing with Princess Litania.”
As Orbis reached again for Litania’s hand, she swiftly slapped his knuckles.
“Ah, don’t touch me!”
“What on earth are you doing!”
The chamberlain cried out in horror—directed not at Orbis, but at Litania.
“Princess Litania, what insolence are you showing toward Orbis-sama!”
Startled by the chamberlain’s rebuke, Litania was thrown into confusion.
Even if she was despised, she was still a princess.
She didn’t know how great a marquis Orbis was, but even if he were a founding hero of the realm, her social rank was still superior.
Moreover, refusing a stranger’s attempt to hold your hand was a woman’s right.
Even a lover cannot touch without consent—how could merely brushing off a hand-grab be called insolence?
Litania was utterly baffled.
“Chamberlain. Don’t you understand hierarchy? Right now you are speaking to me…”
“Do you not know who this man is?”
The chamberlain interrupted again, shouting.
“He is the Marquis of the Dragon’s Nest… the Divine Dragon, Orbis-sama!”
“…Divine Dragon?”
The utterly unexpected word slipped out, and Litania looked up at Orbis.
His blue pupils narrowed.
[This is the timeline separator]The story rewinds several hours.
“Is it true Orbis-sama has arrived? The Guardian Dragon is here, in this imperial palace?”
Princess Herna rushed into the Crown Prince’s waiting room, unable to hide her excitement.
“Calm down, sister. You’ll make a mistake in front of Orbis-sama.”
“Ahh, Baphor! Don’t say that! I’m even more nervous now!”
“That’s why I told you to calm down. What if you offend him and then decide to abandon Beriverbium to become another nation’s guardian?”
“We’re finished.”
Herna replied seriously, despite the joke meant to ease tension. Prince Baphor immediately straightened his posture, sensing the gravity of his own words.
“You’re right. We’re finished. So just follow what you’ve been taught. You endured those grueling etiquette drills because you knew this day would come.”
“Sister, is my hair alright?”
“Big sister, what about my dress? The lace on my underskirt got wrinkled when I leaned against the stairs—should I change?”
“He’s arriving any moment! We can’t afford to leave our posts!”
Watching her siblings fuss over their appearances, Crown Prince Perus kicked irritably at the stool’s leg.
“Everyone, be quiet.”
At Perus’s command, the other princes and princesses flinched and stepped back. The younger siblings stood awkwardly side by side, their faces still glowing with anticipation and excitement.
Their behavior subtly annoyed him.
He was Crown Prince. He had long since passed his coming-of-age ceremony; all he needed now was his father’s abdication to become Emperor.
Thus, he had always envisioned only his own ascent to the empire’s highest throne.
The Divine Dragon was nobler than the Emperor. But until now, he had remained hidden within his domain, the “Dragon’s Nest,” never showing himself.
Rarely did he visit the palace, and only the Emperor was permitted to meet him—so none of the princes or princesses had ever laid eyes on him.
Even the Emperor himself had last seen him nineteen years ago; he was treated almost like a mythical creature.
‘So now this mythical dragon suddenly appears in the palace… and even attends the spring ball?’
The difference between a mythical creature being revered above the Emperor and actually appearing before people was entirely different.
Perus felt as if someone had suddenly perched on top of his head—and it made him nauseous.
“Why are you all so tense? He probably doesn’t care about any of you royal heirs.”
“But brother, what if we mess up our greeting?”
“So what if we do?”
Perus shrugged and crossed his legs on the armchair before the hearth.
“The dragon isn’t going to care about human etiquette.”
“Brother, get up!”
Baphor, pale with alarm, shouted at Perus. Sensing his brother’s desperate unease, the Crown Prince reflexively stood.
As he felt a chilling sensation crawl up his back, he turned—and there stood a mysterious figure, slightly taller than him.
“Divine Dragon…”
“We are honored to meet Orbis-sama!”
The princes’ greetings drowned out Perus’s hesitant words.
Staggering backward from Baphor’s tug, Perus rose from his chair and retreated far away, then straightened his posture the moment his eyes met the dragon’s.
“I, Crown Prince Perus, am honored to meet Orbis-sama.”
“…”
Orbis said nothing, glancing around the room.
He wasn’t observing the royal heirs—he simply seemed to be judging where to sit, and calmly took the armchair Perus had just vacated.
“Wow…”
One of the siblings let out an awed sigh.
The Divine Dragon, with his brilliant golden hair and blue eyes, was even more beautiful than the rumors claimed.
His delicate, gentle eyes were elegant, and his piercing gaze seemed almost divine, as if seeing straight into one’s soul.
Orbis, seated upright in white gloves, resembled the embodiment of an ideal absolute being—evoking awe and admiration.
“I am Princess Herna. I am honored to meet Orbis-sama.”
Herna stepped forward, cheeks flushed, and bowed respectfully to Orbis.
“I am Prince Baphor. I am honored to meet Orbis-sama.”
“Princess Mare…”
Orbis’s expression remained blank as he received the following introductions from the royal heirs.
Despite his detached gaze, as if observing mere logs, the heirs could not contain their excitement at having met the legendary dragon firsthand.
Watching them, Perus felt his stomach twist.
‘Damn. That thing isn’t even a real dragon.’
The Divine Dragon was the imperial family’s guardian, but that didn’t mean he actively protected the imperial family or heirs.
The dragon simply existed there. Humans hid beneath his shadow and flaunted their status—something he merely tolerated, more like ignored.
‘A monster pretending to be a god.’
The dragon’s presence alone deterred monsters and foreign invaders from coveting Beriverbium—that was why he was called the Guardian Dragon.
In truth, he could fly away whenever he grew bored, or crush the empire whenever he felt offended.
That was what a dragon was.
An unpredictable natural disaster.
The empire had flourished by proclaiming itself “The Nation Protected by the Divine Dragon,” simply because its founding Emperor had quickly grasped the dragon’s nature.
Capricious and savage.
But the dragon’s emotional triggers differed from those of humans.
‘The dragon won’t rage over something like this.’
Perus took a steadying breath.
If the dragon had been offended by his words, he would have shown his displeasure the moment they met. The dragon wouldn’t bother to care about the Crown Prince’s opinion.
His quiet acceptance of their greetings suggested he hadn’t even noticed Perus’s remark.
‘At best, he’s just a stupid monster who doesn’t even understand etiquette. He’s here now only because he’s amused, pretending to be human.’
Slightly relaxing, Perus cleared his throat and spoke.
“The greetings from the twelve princes and princesses are complete.”
The blue eyes, previously fixed on the wall’s glow, turned toward Perus—and he snapped to attention. He felt as if the dragon’s gaze were a knife aimed at his throat.
The dragon was displeased. He felt it instinctively. He wanted to flee—but barely suppressed his fear.
‘No. It’s just my imagination. If the dragon were enraged, we’d already be dead. He doesn’t have patience.’
As Perus straightened his stiff shoulders and lowered his gaze, a deep voice, as if emerging from the depths, echoed.
“If greetings are concluded, let us rise.”
“Orbis-sama, are you returning to the Dragon’s Nest already?”
“No. The ball is about to begin.”
The tone was soft, but the meaning was clear: you have no time for conversation because I must attend the ball. Perus bristled at this blatant dismissal.
“All the royal heirs have gathered here specifically to meet Orbis-sama—leaving without even a reply is extremely rude.”
“You knew this already,” Orbis replied coldly, looking down at Perus.
“A dragon does not care about human etiquette.”
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 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.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~

Only an obsession—nothing else—could explain his mad belief that if everyone els
I understood why, when he met her, he asked if she was able to speak in the early chapters.

I hope she learns her lesson from that day and doesn’t think about entering the tower
Umm, things have gotten even more embarrassing. I don’t know what to say. (T∀T)
Their relationship has developed fairly well and smoothly, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they truly fell in love, but I’m afraid something bad might happen at the festival.
