At the empress’s final words, Lina’s shoulders trembled slightly. Witnessing such a scene, Eugenie soon became convinced.
‘Yes, I knew there was something.’
The empress, too, couldn’t hide her astonishment at Lina’s appearance, which had changed like magic.
At first, she was surprised by the sudden change in her body, and then she was astonished by the beauty of the transformed woman. However, it soon turned into delight.
‘She truly was a witch…’.
‘Truly a witch…’
At first, there was concern about the presence of someone with magic powers next to Duke Fermannes. Rather, it began to be considered that it could be a weakness for the duke.
‘If that woman becomes affiliated with the royal family…’
The empress, trying to suppress her laughter, said, “If she’s a witch, shouldn’t Lady Composer Fermannes belong to the royal family?”
Upon the empress’s words, the grip on Lina’s hand by Beligé tightened. If Lina underwent magical verification within the royal palace, as a mere composer, she wouldn’t be able to defy the royal decree.
‘First, I need to leave the palace.’
Only then could she plan for the future. While Beligé was pondering how to leave the palace, on the second floor, Alex’s gaze met with someone. And shortly after.
[Dash].“Eek [Dash]!”
“Suddenly, the light…!”
As the bright lights that illuminated the hall went out and everyone was in chaos, the lights came back on. However.
“No one’s here!”
Beligé and Lina had disappeared long ago.
Two men and women riding on a horse were running endlessly along the dark night road, exhaling harsh breaths.
The sound of hooves, clattering as they left the palace, seemed to indicate their urgent situation.
“Wait, wait! Duke…!”
Lina, whose eyes couldn’t open properly due to the sharp wind, called out to Beligé.
But as if he couldn’t hear Lina’s desperate shout, he was just quickly driving the horse.
After running for how long, the seemingly unstoppable speed of the horse gradually began to slow down, and when the unfamiliar building was in front of them, he stopped.
As the piercing wind that covered their faces subsided, Lina, who opened her eyes, looked around.
“Where is this…?”
She stared blankly at the white building in front of her. The dust-free, sacred atmosphere emanated from the building.
“A temple…?”
To think they would end up in a temple after leaving the royal palace. Lina asked, unable to understand Beligé’s actions.
“Duke, why are we here…?”
But once again, apparently with no intention of answering Lina’s question, Beligé, who quickly dismounted, reached out to her.
“We’ll talk later. For now, meeting the priest is a priority.”
Seemingly unable to understand the situation, Lina, who was repeating the same question with a face of unknowing, stopped her steps as if she couldn’t stand Beligé’s hand any longer.
“Duke! Why are you doing this! And why did we come to the temple? What if the empress mama is talking, what if suddenly you come out like this…!”
Moreover, it happened in a situation where she was already suspected of being a witch.
‘Hiding the fact that you have magic and living in the empire is a serious crime…’
If they were to return to the palace like this without any explanation, Bellige.
No, it was a dangerous issue that could overturn the stigma that the Fermannes family was involved in treason.
Lina, calming her breath, spoke to Bellige as if comforting him.
“Duke, it’s not too late. Go back to the palace now and tell everyone the truth. Duke, just say you didn’t know anything. Then I will take care of the rest…”
“No.”
Looking at Lina, who was desperately speaking while holding onto his arm, Bellige answered firmly.
“We’re not going back. At least not now.”
Then, placing his hand on Lina’s shoulder, the duke continued speaking.
“If we stayed as we were, you would have to undergo magical verification without a word, and as a mere composer’s daughter, you would have become a member of the royal family and wouldn’t have been able to leave the palace without permission. And, using your safety as an excuse, the empress would have threatened me.”
The slight trembling felt in Bellige’s hand gripping her shoulder shook Lina’s heart.
“But… If you become endangered like this, I…”
As if reading Lina’s thoughts, Bellige spoke softly with a reassuring voice and a subtle smile.
“Don’t worry, there is not no way at all.”
Quietly lifting his hand, Bellige gently removed the strands of hair clinging to Lina’s face.
“As a duchess, even if it’s the royal family, they can’t casually offer you to the royal family.”
“What?”
“So, we need to finish it before someone comes from the palace.”
“What do you mean?”
With unwavering eyes, Bellige looked at Lina and said.
“Our marriage.”
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.
