Certainly! Below is the translation as per your guidelines, with attention to the characters’ names and genders:
“How is it, Olivia? How does it feel to have received your first oath?”
Leopold’s mouth twisted even as he called my name tenderly. It was a sign that something was displeasing him whenever something was on his mind.
Every time that happened, Olivia did her best to appease Leopold, always looking at his face as if I had done something wrong.
Olivia, who was about to go to Leopold’s side out of habit, hesitated. The duke’s face, which had been stiffening, relaxed as she lightly shook the hand he held out, reassuring him.
One of Leopold’s eyebrows quirked up.
He hadn’t liked Olivia from earlier on. Even when she pulled her hand away from his, even when she was now avoiding his gaze.
This couldn’t happen.
Olivia should naturally come to my side. This was amidst the nobles. Olivia did not take any action as if daring to reject me in the midst of all this.
It felt as if everything was turning upside down. Leopold’s eyes grew sharper with anger, like a fire being stoked.
“Your Majesty.”
The duke, who had hidden Olivia as if to protect her, spoke gently. It was the complete opposite of Leopold, who had stood threateningly with a sharp presence.
“If you have no business, please step aside. I was about to dance the first dance with the lady to whom I swore my oath.”
“I want to have the first dance with my fiancée after she has received her first oath. Duke.”
Leopold looked at me with soft eyes, contrary to his stiff voice.
“Go ahead, Liv.”
A tender voice called my nickname. At that moment, Olivia’s heart thumped. It was the first time since her mother that her nickname had been called.
Her heart pounded heavily. Leopold smiled brightly. Just like when he was her brilliant salvation at the age of eleven.
And so, Olivia almost moved without realizing it.
“You always wanted to dance the first dance with me.”
Had it not been for those words, she really would have.
The word ‘first dance’ reminded her of her debutante ball. Naturally standing by Leopold’s side and Leopold, who had ignored her and taken the hand of the young Lady Nordian.
Even so.
Leopold was confident now.
Leopold’s appearance, extending his hand without asking, calling her nickname without permission; Olivia bit her inner lip silently.
…Does Leopold see me as that easy?
Saying he’s engaged to me while coming with Maria Etel, pretending not to know about cards and flowers he never sent, even though he must have heard about it from his steward.
Making me out to be nothing like this.
Her mood sank deeply. Olivia struggled to clear her mind.
Without a chance to think further, Olivia slowly parted her lips.
“…This is a victory banquet celebrating war heroes. Your Majesty.”
“…Liv?”
Leopold called Olivia again, as if disbelieving.
Olivia held her head higher than ever. She didn’t care whether the turmoil in Leopold’s blue eyes was anger at the situation or anger at her.
She was too exhausted today.
“I will go and dance the first dance with Duke first.”
As if on cue, the duke gently escorted Olivia. One step, two steps.
Oh right, Olivia turned back to Leopold as if just remembering.
Then, with a look of ‘Well, then,’ she spoke formally to Leopold, who looked arrogantly at me.
“You should go and enjoy the first dance with Lady Etel over there, Your Majesty.”
Leopold’s face twisted. Olivia, still holding the duke’s hand, headed towards the center of the banquet hall.
Her heart pounded as if it would burst.
For the first time, she pushed Leopold away.
An unknown emotion filled Olivia’s heart.

“Isn’t it heavy?”
“Huh?”
“That sword.”
The Duke smiled with a face full of laughter. Only then did Olivia realize that I was holding a sword with one hand.
I thought it would be heavy, filled with jewels, but it was lighter than I expected. Olivia shrugged her shoulders.
“You’re right. I thought it would be heavy.”
“If it’s not heavy, haven’t you discovered an immense talent? How about it? Joining our knights?”
When Olivia rolled her eyes gracefully, the Duke pretended not to notice and changed the subject.
“Shall I take care of it when we dance?”
As Olivia nodded, the Duke grabbed the sword. The Duke’s knight came and took the sword. Ugh, a brief, heavy silence seemed to pass. In the meantime, the Duke bowed to the Emperor.
“I thank Your Majesty for your grace. May I start the first dance as I swore to the Lady?”
“Of course. Continue the celebration for this occasion.”
The Emperor barely nodded with a stern mouth.
The orchestra began to play again. The elegant melody was played in various tones, filling the banquet hall once more.
In the meantime, the Emperor forced a smile. The throbbing headache was a later matter.
The nobles were already buzzing. This news would spread quickly among the nobles. To the nobles who were not invited to the feast, and even gradually to the commoners.
The Duke has sworn allegiance to the crown prince’s fiancée instead of the prepared princess.
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:
