I had momentarily forgotten.
Another reason why I couldn’t accept Douglas’s feelings.
The face of the woman who had always longed for Douglas flashed in my mind.
My favorite, Claudia.
She was confined because of me.
During her captivity, she couldn’t plot a revolution.
A piercing sense of guilt and complicated relief tangled up within me.
“Nysa must have safely delivered the letter. I don’t know if Claudia will listen to my words, though.”
“Even though she’s stubborn, she is not a foolish person. She will understand Elizabeth’s sincerity.”
“I hope so.”
Escape was simple.
It was easier with money and magic.
It wasn’t just sighing in the Canary room.
I calculated with a more cold-headed mind than ever.
I am not a person who engages in losing businesses.
“I’ve damaged my image and assumed the identity of a fugitive. I’ve caused trouble for many people. I should at least gain compensation. At least ten times.”
Before the escape, I wrote three letters.
One to Nikolai.
One to Douglas.
The last one to Claudia.
I trusted Nysa, who had connections all over the palace, to safely deliver the letters.
I didn’t know that Claudia was in great distress because of the letter.
Nor did I realize that Nikolai’s obsession surpassed my imagination.
After receiving Elizabeth’s letter, Claudia couldn’t concentrate on her meditation.
If only she had the first edition of “The Red Star of the Empire,” considered a treasure.
It was painful not being able to read Douglas’s novel, dragged straight from the dueling ground.
To clear her mind, she began doing push-ups.
Sweat dripped from her forehead.
Her mind remained complex.
No matter how many times she read it, it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the falsehood.
A mysterious woman wearing Elizabeth’s facade.
What kind of strategy was hidden in this letter?
[Dash] To Lady Claudia.When you read this letter, I will not be in the palace.
Whether you believe it or not, I will explain the reason for this unavoidable departure.
First, I am under several suspicions.
I did not harm the Crown Prince with poison.
I did not orchestrate a kidnapping drama.
I did not harm the Crown Prince in any way.
I am innocent of all these charges.
I have become a scapegoat, a target for those trying to cover up the crime and the forces restraining me.
If I stay close to His Majesty, it will shake the Emperor’s authority because of me.
I did not want to be the cause of tarnishing the Emperor’s reputation as a tyrant.
Second, I have evidence to expose the true culprit.
However, it is not yet ripe, and I cannot reveal it prematurely.
The enemy is extremely powerful.
If I flee, they will revel in their victory.
There will be pressure from all sides to quickly deal with the Empress.
There will also be a rush to fight for victory.
Anyway, the time for them to let their guard down is approaching.
This is the opportune moment to strike back.
Until then, I will thoroughly prepare.
Third, internal enemies are far more dangerous than external ones.
Especially the negligence of the Royal Guard is at an unacceptable level.
There are too many who collude with the high nobles for their own interests.
A massive overhaul is needed.
My escape will be an indisputable justification for everyone.
All impure elements within the palace must be exposed.
I believe it is for the good of both the Empire and the people.
Regrettably, Lady Claudia was my proxy.
There will be no shortage of those who viewed Claudia unfavorably.
They will target Claudia, entwining her with me.
Perhaps they might have made a very dangerous proposal.
Claudia, I also propose to you.
Wouldn’t it be beneficial for both of us to join forces and eliminate those who threaten the future of the Empire for their selfish gains?
Could this proposal be a form of revolution?
A revolution from within. Please lend your support to the revolution stained only with the blood of villains.
I hope to achieve the country Claudia dreams of together.
[Dash] Elizabeth signing off.Nikolai found the room where Claudia was confined.
It had been only two days since she made the arrogant request.
“The Emperor wishes to see you.”
“You look healthy; that’s fortunate.”
“Thanks to the Emperor’s special care.”
“I needed to check on the situation.”
“Is it about the enemy’s movements, or is it about mine?”
“Both.”
Nikolai replied indifferently.
It implied that he could confine her more if necessary.
Even though she sensed an underlying meaning, Claudia remained silent.
“Are you chasing Elizabeth?”
“Rumors spread fast even when you’re confined.”
“The palace has been turned upside down.”
“I’ve organized 5 units, each with 20 elite knights. They are led by the best knights.”
“But there are no results?”
Nikolai answered with silence.
Claudia stared straight into Nikolai’s two eyes.
Challenging and impolite, it was a behavior that could lead to death if not for the Emperor’s permission.
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~
