‘Kartan’ had the custom of sending ‘dowries’ when welcoming a bride.
The dowry was a sign of respect and love from the groom to the bride.
And the groom was none other than Izar.
A man possessing the wealth of Kartan.
One could only guess how brilliantly he would prepare to welcome the bride.
The Emperor of Termina was not a fool.
And yet he gave that up?
The excellent opportunity to sell the muchdespised Bianca at such a high price?
Tap. Tap.
Izar’s finger, resting on his chin, rhythmically tapped the armrest.
This was both a habit when he was lost in thought and a sign of extreme anger.
The officers inside the tent all held their breath, rolling their eyes at each other.
After a few exchanged glances, the one who had served Izar the longest sighed softly and opened his mouth.
“Your Majesty Izar, I have something to report to you, so please forgive my intrusion.”
“Speak.”
Tap.
The sound of his fingernail fell heavily, striking the wooden armrest.
Tap.
“The Crown Prince of Termina did not lie in his story.”
“……”
“However, he has neglected to tell something to Your Majesty Izar.”
“What is it?”
Nice, indeed.
As if the young snake could forget.
He must have hidden it.
Izar twisted his lips into a wicked smile.
Tap.
His movement became slightly more agitated.
“Termina sent a proposal to the House of Barlock, and the duke accepted it.”
“And?”
A tale he obviously knew, recited in a bored tone, surely meant there was a prepared twist.
However, Izar was in no mood for such small suspense right now.
Kartan may have gold, but Termina had iron.
The reason Izar quietly retreated even after losing the promised bride was because of that.
He desperately needed the iron.
But to wait in this situation?
Impatiently urging him on, Salvor, who was kneeling before him, whispered.
“The proposal was addressed to Bianca Termina.”
“And?”
“But there is no royalty named Bianca Termina in the royal registry.”
“Is Bianca Termina not a royal then?”
What is this nonsense?
Izar raised one eyebrow.
Salvor must have seen his displeasure, but instead of explaining further, he even smiled a little.
“Your Majesty Izar, Princess Bianca was erased from the royal registry a month ago.”
With a slothful look, Izar, who had been lounging lazily in his chair, sprang to his feet.
“Not a princess?”
“Perhaps they erased her, thinking she would die at the hands of the duke.”
“Is that so?”
The arrogance of not wanting to leave a precedent that ‘Barlock’ had harmed ‘Termina’ apart from using the monstrous duke as a bait and shaking it in hand, wasn’t it the deed of hubris?
Izar crossed his arms and said nothing.
“……”
The murdered Bianca was bound to be erased without leaving any trace.
It was just like a dog’s death.
No one would dare to scrutinize the yellow book, so the Barlock Duke’s family would not know.
Termina would take this opportunity to exploit Barlock perfectly, so even if he failed to extract ten chests of gold and receive Izar’s dowry, it wouldn’t be a losing business.
“But, Bianca Termina, no, Bianca headed north alive……?”
Izar, who was muttering to himself, asked Salbar again.
“Who knows?”
“A month ago, the chief butler of the imperial palace slipped and fell down the stairs.”
“He must have died.”
Salbar bowed his head deeply.
It was quite an interesting story.
But that was all there was to it.
It was fortunate that Barlock wasn’t caught in the trap prepared by ominous people, but it didn’t matter to Izar, who had lost his bride.
“Ah……”
Lucky person.
Izar slouched again and almost threw himself into his chair.
Should he have casually mentioned what he had prepared as a gift for Termina’s snakes?
No matter how much he thought about it, his annoyance wouldn’t subside, and he kept feeling regretful.
Izar had not forgotten the words whispered by the Empress.
‘Your Majesty, you must take the daughter of Termina as your bride.’
‘Has the rumor of the empire’s foremost beauty stirred your heart? Cartan’s daughters are beautiful like flowers too.’
‘Your Majesty, could it just be for that reason?’
The Empress smiled, narrowing her eyes.
Decades ago, she who had been beautiful enough to be called Cartan’s star, still retained her beauty, even though her hair had turned slightly gray.
Rather, she had become more noble as the flowing years added gracefulness.
Izar, who had grown up with such a mother, had not been satisfied with anyone until he was well into adulthood.
That’s why he thought the Empress’s sudden mention of Princess Bianca was because of the rumor of being the empire’s foremost beauty.
But the Empress’s story was not that.
‘It has been said that Termina’s Archbishop referred to the princess as ‘the one who has been waiting for a long time’ early on.’
‘There was also a rumor that Termina’s Archbishop had gone senile.’
‘What a joke.’
The Empress, looking disgusted as if she had heard a bad joke, gently tapped Izar’s hand.
‘Bring her when the fools don’t know. Your Majesty.’
The smiling Empress was exceedingly beautiful.
When he met Princess Bianca, she was indeed as beautiful as the rumors, if not more.
With such an attractive appearance that anyone would be fascinated, Izar thought it wouldn’t matter even if the belief was false.
“Hmm……”
This annoyance, anyway.
Regret for missing a pleasing face after a long time?
A beauty like the princess isn’t common, and if Duke Barlock really took her as a bride……
He was smiling at the absurd thought when Izar’s face suddenly froze.
“Salbar!”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Did the duke sign the marriage proposal sent from the royal family?”
“Yes.”
At Salbar’s immediate reply, Izar burst into sharp laughter.
“This marriage is null and void!”
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.
