“If they sent a personal letter, they must have a strong wish. Your Majesty wouldn’t want to induce tension with Balrua now that monsters have appeared. A quick establishment of friendly relations is needed.”
“True.”
“The monster summoning magic is easy to modify once set, and not hard to call forth monsters if there’s mana. So, cooperation should happen as quickly as possible before it spreads across the continent.”
“Sound advice.”
William looked seriously at Eric and agreed.
“We should gather and discuss.”
“Hm?”
“I was only thinking of setting a direction, but hearing you, it seems we need detailed planning. We should delay Ambassador Spencer’s return.”
“No need to go that far—”
“We have the upper hand in information and data. If we can pull Balrua in our direction, our standing on the continent will rise.”
“Isn’t it a bit burdensome to handle the Balrua Empire like that?”
A flustered Eric tried to stop William.
“Don’t worry. We just need to package it like we’re building it together.”
“…”
“Thanks anyway. Good idea. We’ll be busier now, so I’m counting on you.”
Smiling broadly, William patted Eric’s shoulder and walked away hurriedly.
“I’ve messed up.”
He had wanted to send Chase away quickly but ended up delaying it.
He now had to endure it for more than a month and would even have to see him at the emergency royal meeting.
Blaming his own mouth for this situation, Eric rested his head on his hands.
‘Sigh, why can’t things go as I wish these days.’
(This is a time separator.)
In the training field, watching the knights’ training was Eric, and Edward and a few subordinates were muttering nearby.
“Why is the commander acting like that today?”
“Is he in a bad mood?”
To Edward’s eyes, Eric seemed fine on the surface.
Allen was out due to an external schedule, so there was no reason to be angry, nor had he visibly shown any irritation.
“You don’t know because you haven’t looked long, but that’s definitely not a good state.”
“Ah.”
Nodding, Edward took another look at Eric.
If it’s workrelated, Edward wouldn’t know, but he had a rough guess for personal matters, so he grinned mischievously.
“I’ll go ask him for a moment.”
“What? Hey, wait!”
As his subordinates tried to catch him, he was already gone.
“Aah, let him be. He wouldn’t kill his brotherinlaw, would he?”
“Fair point.”
Edward, with a curious expression, watched his subordinates rush to Eric.
As Eric looked puzzled at the suddenly approaching Edward, Edward grinned.
“Do you have a moment?”
“I do. What’s up?”
“I’d like to ask you something privately from now on.”
“Why such a preamble?”
Edward chuckled as Eric smiled and asked.
“Is something bothering you, brother?”
“No, nothing.”
“Then why that expression?”
“Me? What expression?”
“As if you’re about to kill someone.”
After hesitating at Edward’s earnest gaze, Eric finally spoke.
“…Been busy lately.”
“Ah, work.”
“Thanks to Chase.”
“Ah, Brother Chase.”
Edward’s form of address was familiar, as they’d known each other since childhood.
“You know him too?”
“Of course. Brother Chase has been a friend of my sister since I was born. He often came to our house, fed me milk, even changed my diapers.”
“And the others?”
“They’re like family, really.”
Betrayed, Eric slightly furrowed his brow.
It’s possible for Edward and Emma.
But not for Ryan and Laila.
Eric recalled his past struggles looking after the twins.
Edward observed Eric’s discontented expression.
“Is Brother Chase bothering you?”
“I got curious because we’ve started working together, and he’s a friend of Alicia’s.”
“Hmm.”
But Edward was quick to catch on.
“Because Brother Chase likes my sister?”
“You know too?”
“Of course. The only one who doesn’t know is probably my sister.”
“My point exactly.”
Eric crossed his arms and nodded solemnly.
Edward followed suit, also looking serious.
“How can she be the only one not to know?”
“My sister can be obtuse at times.”
“Exactly.”
As Eric nodded in agreement, so did Edward.
“She might not realize unless told outright.”
“Exactly.”
“She probably doesn’t even know why you’re acting like this.”
“Exactly.”
“Even though she’s engaged, my sister is swayed by Brother Chase…”
Eric almost lost his temper just hearing that, but Edward quickly chuckled and changed his words.
“[Dash] Probably not, but they’ve known each other for a long time.”
“······.”
“Brother Chase comes every day. Even when my sister’s not here.”
“What?”
Eric scowled.
If Chase acts like this, what’s the point of Alicia’s consideration?
Edward looked straight at Eric and chuckled.
“My sister will be late because she has a commitment, but how about dinner, brother?”
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.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
