“…….”
“Why aren’t you answering?”
As she was about to prick his neck just to scare him, that’s when it happened.
“Diana.”
It was Roderick’s voice, strained and effortful.
“Avoid it.”
Before she could respond, wham! Roderick swung his fist.
“Roderick!”
Heeding his warning, Diana quickly leaned back, avoiding his furious arm. Roderick hit his own cheek.
Thump- Thump-
“Stop! Stop it!”
Ceasing his relentless self-assault, his fist halted right before his face.
“I won’t! Damn it! I said I won’t!”
As he surrendered, the man regained control and yelled,
“Don’t touch it!”
He rose from the bed and spat blood-tinged saliva on the floor. Diana was already standing away from the bed.
“Ah, such a madman to be my descendant.”
“You said descendant just now?”
As he nursed his sore cheek, he stopped abruptly. His gaze returned to Diana.
“Beatrice.”
Approaching her, the man stood at a respectful distance and lifted her loosely hanging hair to his lips, in a knightly gesture.
Their gazes interlocked in mid-air, the blue eyes heavy with obsession.
Suddenly, she remembered the voice from her dreams.
[Beatrice.]“Beatrice. How I longed to see you.”
[Angela Beatrice. My love.]“You really do resemble her.”
Ah, it’s not Roderick. She could tell for sure. The man was only making expressions Roderick never did.
“Hmm, you seem to recognize me, right?”
“The one who intruded into my dreams uninvited, is that you?”
The man, trying to guess something, burst into laughter.
“Hahaha. I apologize. I was so desperate to escape, I must have touched your unconsciousness.”
“I don’t find this funny at all. What is this situation? Please explain,” Diana demanded, glaring at the man for clarification.
“Shall we sit down first? This conversation might be a bit lengthy.”
With steaming tea in front of her, Diana felt like she was under scrutiny.
His dark blue eyes intensely observed her, scanning from head to toe as if drawing her in his mind.
The relentless rain continued to pour outside, the only sound breaking the silence.
“Excuse me, ancestor?”
His eyebrow raised quizzically.
“If you call Roderick a descendant, aren’t you an ancestor?”
Why does he look so displeased with that title? Diana swallowed her words.
“Yes, time is indeed cruel. Shall I introduce myself first? I am Levant Schwartz, the 6th Duke.”
“Oh, I’m Diana Beatrice.”
His imperious gaze was compelling enough to make anyone instinctively bow their head. Diana inadvertently introduced herself.
He smiled satisfactorily.
“Pleasure to meet you, Diana. You being Angela’s descendant makes this even more delightful.”
“Who is Angela?”
“My fiancée. Also, a woman of the greatest magical power of her time, known as a witch. She could have become the head of the Beatrice family had she not been engaged to me.”
This was news to Diana. Such a person would have been mentioned during her study of the family lineage.
“It’s natural you don’t know. All information about her was likely destroyed. If anything remained, she would have been recorded as a wicked woman who committed crimes.”
His dark blue eyes seemed to be lost in the distant past as he looked at her.
“Do you know? In the past, using the magic within one’s body wasn’t that difficult.”
Diana nodded, aware of this fact. But as generations passed, only the royal family retained the freedom to use magic freely.
“Isn’t it strange? Why only the royal family can use magic? Even wizards use magical stones.”
“Are you suggesting there’s another reason?”
“The royal family is very greedy.”
That’s obvious. Those in power are always greedy, in any world. Diana looked at him skeptically.
“Does that have anything to do with you entering Roderick’s body?”
“Hmm, is that title going to stick?”
“Since we’re not close enough to call you by name, right?”
“Haha. I like your spirit.”
The man stopped laughing as his cheeks began to swell slightly, wincing and touching his split lip.
“In a way, the royal family being the only ones able to use magic freely is also thanks to Angela Beatrice. She even had the power of a dragon.”
His voice sank gradually.
“But after they killed her, the royal family erased everything about her, including all things holding her wishes. The only thing I found was a single portrait.”
Leaning forward, he suddenly grasped Diana’s hand with earnestness, quieting Roderick within.
“So, I borrowed his body for a while. Help me, descendant of Beatrice. Help me find traces of Angela.”
“Excuse me?”
“If we find the stone containing Angela’s soul, your body can return to its normal state. Your curse might also be connected to Angela, in a way.”
Diana was baffled. She understood the ancestor wanted her to find Angela’s tombstone.
What she didn’t understand was something else. She was supposed to have died from an unknown illness and then resurrected. Her magic is draining, and she’s in pain. Noel called it a disease. But now,
“You’re saying I’m cursed?”
Roderick’s ancestor was telling an entirely different story.
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~
