Received the Obsession of a Chaste Dark Lord (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 6
My mind momentarily froze.
Desire?
Him? Of all people?
I stared at him, unaware that I had stopped breathing.
My dorsal hand, now touching his outstretched fingertips, felt overly flushed.
I could not turn my gaze away, nor lower my head—I simply gazed at him for a long while.
Only when he gently tugged on my hand did I finally draw a breath.
“What… Your Highness? What are you saying…?”
“It is exactly as I said, Vi. No, Amelia. I wish to get along well with you.”
Leopric closed his eyes deeply as he looked at me.
His hand softly brushed against my hair.
Was it my imagination, or was there some inexplicable tenderness in his gaze toward me?
“Then I shall strive, as much as possible, to become the man you desire.”
A strange ache lingered in his voice.
The crimson gaze that had held me utterly still now tightened further.
Why, exactly, is he looking at me like this?
“If you like my smile, I shall smile. If you prefer kindness, I shall be kind. If you ask for my time, I shall gladly give it.”
The longing in his gaze deepened further.
Emotions that had no reason to grow—no reason to arise at all—slowly bound me tighter.
It felt as if invisible hands from all sides seized me, binding me firmly to his side.
Unconsciously, I was transfixed by his gaze and swallowed hard.
“Then, Amelia.”
The sweet voice clinging to my ear grew lower still.
It whispered, subtly burrowing into my ear, begging me not to look away.
Even if that were not the case, my entire gaze was already captivated.
“Please, allow me to remain by your side.”
He gently closed his eyes and lifted a strand of my hair.
Then, as if to emphasize it, he brought it to his lips, never breaking eye contact, and slowly kissed it.
It was a gaze so dizzying it made my whole body flush crimson.
With a gaze so intensely intimate it made my face burn, I clenched the sleeve in my hand tightly.
“Regardless of what happens, I will never leave you.”
The smile lingering at the edge of his gaze was far too radiant.
That smile, so deliberately alluring, made me shut my eyes tightly.
[This is the timeline separator]Leopric Baldini Reinhardt was impossibly handsome.
His sharp jawline and nose, as if carved by divine hands.
His long eyelashes, envy-inducing among all women, and eyes filled with depth.
Though his demeanor was composed and dignified, a subtle air of decadence stirred the most improper fantasies in countless women.
Especially his sturdy physique, honed by years of swordsmanship and physical training—even clothed, it somehow invited imagination.
I heard rumors that he secretly belonged to a group loyal to the Crown Prince.
But that was merely the chatter of women dazzled by appearances, never something that could ever be mine.
I believed only fools, who did not know the true nature of a person or what real love was, were swayed by looks.
I knew Leopric to some degree—and I had believed the things I thought were love had turned to illusions.
Who could have imagined that I, of all people, would be bewitched by such a beautiful face?
“So, is it all settled now?”
He closed his eyes and smiled as he watched me examine the contract.
His sudden boldness made me uneasy, which is why I proposed putting the agreement in writing.
The man who had declared he would become the man I desired had, without hesitation, agreed to do as I wished.
At first, he had dismissed contracts as meaningless—but when I insisted I truly desired it, he finally nodded.
“It seems complete. Just sign here.”
As I handed him the contract, Leopric quietly picked up the pen.
Then, without giving me a chance to object, he added a clause at the very end: “This agreement may be extended or amended by mutual consent,” and signed his name at the bottom immediately.
My signature had already been there; with his, the contract was complete.
Perhaps I had drafted it too meticulously.
The casually added clause didn’t matter—whether I liked it or not, the contract was perfect enough to be notarized by a lawyer as it stood.
“You have quite the talent for captivating people, Your Highness.”
“Then… have you been captivated by me?”
“I’m not joking. You added a clause I never agreed to.”
“Didn’t you do the same? Didn’t you conceive of a contract without consulting me even once?”
I sighed softly, and Leopric shrugged as if to say, “We’re even.”
I glanced at his face, wondering if he was angry—but instead, he met my gaze with that captivating smile.
“Now that the contract is settled, may we speak of something else?”
He reached out and took the wine bottle in his hand.
Speaking of something else—and now he wanted to drink wine?
I watched silently, then accepted the glass he offered.
The wine within the glass rippled gently as I swirled it.
Will things truly be alright from now on?
Looking at the shimmering wine, I wondered.
The clause Leopric had added at the end—“amended or extended by mutual consent”—lingered uneasily in my mind.
It was strange enough that someone who had shown not the slightest interest in me in my past life was suddenly acting so purposefully.
I had assumed that knowing the future meant only brighter days lay ahead.
But now that it was here, it felt like an entirely different kind of life.
Silently, I kept swirling my glass, and he stared intently at me.
“Do you regret it?”
His voice was slightly lower than usual.
Perhaps not merely lower, but heavier.
I tilted the glass, brought it to my lips, then lowered it again, half-empty.
“Do you think I regret it?”
“Because of that expression.”
“…It’s too late to regret now, Your Highness.”
You, and I.
I swallowed the words I could not speak aloud and emptied the rest of my glass.
“If you had regretted it, you wouldn’t have shown up at the wedding.”
You had returned, too late to flee.
Though only partly, Leopric—who had his life now bound to a woman like me—was pitiable. But I also knew there was no other way.
I finished the remaining wine and set the glass down.
“And regret? It’s something you carry for life.”
After all, no one can avoid foolish choices in life.
No sooner had I spoken than my glass was refilled.
Leopric filled my glass to the brim, then filled his own as well.
“But isn’t there at least one thing in life you absolutely refuse to regret?”
“People don’t always make the right choices, though.”
“At least, you’ll regret less than if you had chosen nothing at all.”
Leopric emptied his glass again.
Then he turned his body toward me, still holding my half-empty glass.
“That’s why I do not regret this marriage, Amelia.”
His words, set down heavily, carried profound sincerity.
I felt the longing in his gaze slowly filling again as it returned to me.
Even without turning my eyes to meet his, I sensed that ethereal presence—and again, my throat felt parched.
“I also wish to try my best, now that we’ve begun.”
“Isn’t marriage supposed to be with someone you truly want to live well with?”
“There’s no law that all beginnings must be the same. I have chosen. And I intend to do my utmost to ensure I never regret it.”
A faint smile touched Leopric’s gaze.
He stared at me, still fixedly watching my wine glass, then reached out.
With gentle fingers, he slowly took the nearly empty glass from my hand.
“Then please, help me a little, Amelia.”
His voice seemed to whisper softly—but the deep emotion within it turned my head to face him.
He smiled gently, then slowly lowered his head toward me.
And his eyes captured my bewildered expression.
Just as I thought that crimson gaze, no longer distant but now burning, was wrapping itself around me once more—
His large hand cradled my cheek, and before I could react, his lips lightly brushed my forehead before pulling away.
When our eyes met again, Leopric widened his eyes and smiled.
“Since it’s our wedding night, this much is acceptable, isn’t it?”
And that was the final memory of that night.
[This is the timeline separator]When I opened my eyes again, faint sunlight filtered through the curtains.
Slowly blinking, I gently roused myself from my drowsiness.
I distinctly remembered speaking with Leopric—but when had I lain down?
Why was it already so late…?
I lay motionless, straining to recall what had happened last night.
His behavior, so unlike how I remembered him, had felt strange and awkward—I hadn’t even been able to meet his gaze properly.
As I listened to Leopric’s incomprehensible words, I had been rejecting him in my own way.
His persistent, almost seductive behavior had only added to it.
How could someone who had so strictly kept his distance in my past life suddenly change like this?
I shifted my increasingly clear vision, then slowly sat up.
As I lifted the rustling blanket, something thudded down onto the floor.
“…An arm?”
It was a heavy arm, resting across my legs as if it had been embracing me.
For a moment, I tried to comprehend the situation, then slowly turned my head—and at the end of my gaze…
“Ha.”
There lay Leopric, fast asleep, a red mark on his arm.
What on earth had happened before I fell asleep?
I stared at him with a slightly irritated expression, then, out of curiosity, carefully pulled back the blanket.
“When did this…?”
Sure enough, the bedsheet was stained crimson.
Had something happened while I was unconscious? But my body felt perfectly fine.
My waist didn’t ache, my muscles didn’t scream, and not even below felt sore.
Leopric couldn’t have done anything to me while I slept.
Perhaps I had fainted into sleep, and Leopric, in his concern, had cut his own arm to prevent any rumors.
In any case, he was strangely thoughtful in odd places.
I gave a quiet chuckle and stared again at the sleeping man.
His neatly closed eyelids and golden hair scattered across the bed like a painting—truly, a work of art.
In my past life, I had never realized this man’s beauty could be so exquisite.
Recalling last night’s revelation of his beauty, I shook my head.
I’d rather have never known.
Why, exactly, had he changed so much?
I exhaled a long, uneven breath and stared at the sleeping man for a long while, then quietly rose from the bed.
No matter how much he had changed, the things I must do from now on would not change much.
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 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.
