“Can anyone receive it?”
“Huh?”
Eric was flustered by Alicia’s questioning gaze.
“That kind… of reciprocation? Even without a special relationship?”
“No, that’s not what I meant.”
“Don’t you usually send flowers to women? Is that what all the women did?”
“It’s a misunderstanding. Firstly, I’ve never sent flowers to any woman.”
“······.”
Alicia quietly observed Eric, who was flustered and blushing, with a suspicious gaze.
“Really. Ah, maybe I sent them to my mother?”
“What?”
“Anyway, I haven’t sent them. You’re the first.”
“······.”
Eric hastily walked towards Alicia.
He wished the butler would bring in some tea right now.
He grumbled inwardly at the butler, who, until a moment ago, was scolding him for his awkwardness, yet was equally awkward himself.
“I worried unnecessarily. I was pondering how I should reciprocate to be fitting of an engaged woman.”
“Why talk like that?”
He awkwardly smiled and seated Alicia on the sofa in front of the desk.
Alicia, who let Eric seat her as if she had lost, turned her head towards Eric after a moment.
As soon as their eyes met, Eric hastily asked.
“So, did you like it?”
“It was pretty.”
“Really?”
“I was pondering how to reciprocate since it was the first time I received so many.”
“I said earlier that reciprocation like that is excessive.”
“······.”
“It was too sudden.”
Alicia turned her head due to Eric’s regretful words as her face felt a little hot.
She felt like she had to say something due to the embarrassment.
“I usually return everything as is. I had never thought about reciprocation, so it was a little difficult.”
“You received a lot, didn’t you?”
“Last week, I think, someone sent flowers to the mansion.”
“Last week?”
“······.”
Alicia turned her head towards Eric with a flustered mind.
Eric was definitely smiling, but he seemed to be cautious.
“I returned them right away.”
“Who was it?”
“I don’t know because I didn’t check.”
“You don’t even know who it was, so where did you send it back to?”
“I told the butler.”
“······.”
Eric’s face turned sulky.
‘Who the hell sends such a thing? It doesn’t make sense that they didn’t know about the engagement, it was such a scandal. Who do they think they are? How dare they send something.’
Then there was a knock.
“I brought the tea.”
“Thank you, butler. Wow. The scent is great.”
The butler flinched at Alicia’s enthusiastic welcome but soon calmly placed the tea on the table.
However, Eric rested his face on his arm, which was propped up on the armrest of the sofa, and was still smiling bitterly.
‘Why is the atmosphere like this? What happened in the meantime?’
The butler saw the two people’s faces and quietly backed away, then quickly left the study, closing the door behind him.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“Unfortunately, I couldn’t find much.”
“Hmm.”
Eric, who attended the apostles’ meeting instead, frowned, and the priests and sorcerers, too, sighed as they looked at the books and documents scattered on the desk.
“The only thing we know for sure is that it’s the same monster that appeared in the apostles’ meeting 10 years ago.”
“The same wizard, huh?”
“It’s either the same one or a disciple who inherited that magic.”
“Hmm. Why has he shown up only now, after 10 years of silence?”
At that question, everyone kept their mouths shut.
“It would be nice if we had the Proxy Shaman here, at least.”
“Can’t you get in touch with him at all?”
“He is a recluse.”
At Eric’s question, the shaman sighed and shook his head slowly.
There is no position as a Proxy Shaman, unlike a Proxy Official.
Apparently, it’s called that because it’s said to have the strongest power among the shamans, but no one has properly met him. When he rarely showed up, he was extremely reluctant to reveal his face and was not well known.
“The Proxy Official said not to worry as he will appear when the situation becomes really dangerous.”
“Oh, so you’re in touch with the Proxy Official.”
As Eric said that it was somewhat fortunate, the official smiled awkwardly.
“We have known each other for a long time and although he doesn’t contact often, it seems he does personally. However, because the relationship is not good, he says that his blood pressure rises every time they communicate, causing us trouble every time.”
“Stop that useless talk.”
As another official criticized him, the one who spoke looked at him with a face saying ‘what can I do, it’s true’.
“Anyway, you’ll find out later. You’ll suffer in the middle like us, so consider this a mental preparation.”
“Enough. There’s no need to start worrying in advance.”
Seeing the bickering officials and shamans, Eric closed his mouth out of increasing anxiety.
The situation was dire, even with their combined efforts, and the thought of the illmatched Proxy Official and Proxy Shaman was headacheinducing.
So, he thought.
‘No choice. From now on, I have to leave it to the Edinber Chief.’
At that moment, the elderly official who had been sitting quietly opened his mouth in a kind voice.
“Alicia used to come often too.”
“I heard about that. But is it okay to show such material to a commoner?”
“Originally it’s not okay, but Alicia is special.”
“Special? Why is she special?”
Curious about what he meant, Eric asked with a puzzled face.
Then the elderly official smiled faintly and opened his mouth.
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:
