He stood there for a while, looking around.
The air felt lighter than before, making movement easier.
Clutching the area of his side that had collided with the demon, he took a step forward.
He rounded a corner along the broken inner walls and stopped.
Even in the dim light caused by the shadows, he could see someone approaching from a distance.
‘It’s fortunate she’s so bright.’
The moment Eric lifted his foot, Alicia seemed to notice him and began running.
“Eric!”
Seeing Alicia, who was running toward him while shouting his name and holding an iron rod, a smile naturally formed on Eric’s face.
‘What’s with that iron rod? Last time it was a rusty sword. I knew she wouldn’t sit still, but she really needs to stop doing dangerous things.’
Feeling relieved, Eric smiled.
“Don’t run. You might fall and get hurt.”
Even as he said so, he opened his arms and moved toward Alicia.
‘Come quickly. Come faster.’
Soon Alicia embraced Eric.
It was not yet a safe situation, but as always, Alicia’s hug felt warm.
“Are you alright?”
“Yes.”
Alicia answered, snuggling further into Eric’s embrace.
“I would’ve come to you.”
“I had no choice. It’s safer here than there.”
At her words, Eric tightened his embrace.
“I’m sorry, Eric. I don’t understand what’s happening…Eric?”
Feeling the strength drain from the arm that held her, Alicia lifted her head.
Eric’s body was collapsing.
“Eric? Eric!”
Even as he collapsed, Eric continued to speak to Alicia.
“I’m sorry. I must’ve felt too relieved. You go ahead, okay? Kibe and Noah, who came with me, are outside. They’ll take you to safety.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I still have more to investigate. So[Dash].”
Alicia touched Eric’s continuously talking face.
His complexion looked as though he was dying, causing her heart to sink.
“Eric, are you okay?”
“······.”
Something seemed to be spoken, but Eric’s voice grew fainter until it was indistinguishable.
Something sticky was felt on Alicia’s hand that was holding Eric’s body.
“What is this?”
Upon closer inspection, blood was visibly smeared on Alicia’s hand.
She felt suddenly fearful and her mind went blank.
“Eric!”
She called out, but there was no response or movement from Eric.
Her whole body was trembling and her mind was in chaos, but Alicia forced herself to think.
‘No, pull yourself together. What will you do if something happens to Eric?’
‘First, lay him down somewhere and stop the bleeding[—].’
‘And then think about the next step.’
Something needed to be done for Eric right away.
(This is a time separator.)
“How is it?”
“It’s a barrier.”
“A barrier?”
“It’s not even made with a barrier stone; it seems like magic. Manipulating space seems simple with magic.”
Noah muttered.
Attempts to commercialize the art of isolating space like a barrier had failed due to its complexity.
“There must be a reason why only our leader could enter the barrier.”
“Weren’t you invited earlier?”
“So there seems to be something. Actually, this is the first time I’ve seen a barrier made with magic.”
“It’s also the first time for all of us to have actual contact with a wizard, except for our leader and the Grand Shaman.”
“Let’s move as soon as we get a response.”
“Alright. For now[—].”
Kib looked around.
A few monsters were approaching them, slinking closer.
“Let’s hope these are the last of the monsters.”
Holding his sword with a bored expression, Kib was joined by Noah nodding beside him.
(This is a time separator.)
Alicia laid Eric down on what looked to have been curtains scattered on a flat surface.
As she hastily removed his clothes, a long, deep scratch from a monster was visible, stretching from his chest to his side.
‘There was a pondlike thing earlier.’
She quickly rose, grabbed a large ceramic jar with a cracked opening that caught her eye, and ran.
The water seemed clear and had no strange odor, so she drew some and hurried back to Eric.
Unable to find a clean cloth, she tore a part of her relatively clean underskirt, soaked it in water, and wiped the wound.
‘What do I do? The bleeding won’t stop.’
Running out of clean water, Alicia stood up again.
Even while moving, tears kept falling from Alicia’s eyes.
Despite stumbling multiple times due to the darkening surroundings and her blurred vision from the tears, she didn’t even realize she was hurting.
After going back and forth to wipe off the blood and clot it several times, she finally managed to stop the bleeding.
She sat down beside Eric, wrapping the wound with her trembling hands.
Tears poured again as she looked at the pallid face of the unconscious Eric.
‘His face looks blueish.’
She stroked his disheveled hair and paused when she saw his complexion.
Her hand on his chest felt a heartbeat, but his body was cold.
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?
