Despite the atmosphere being anything but relaxed, Ustia couldn’t hide her emotions. If there had been no table in the way, she would have been ready to grasp Liurian’s hand at once.
It was not surprising. For Liurian, Ustia had always been a mother overflowing with love.
The strange thing was not Ustia, but Liurian. Normally, he would have responded in kind to Ustia’s words, but he kept his mouth firmly shut, saying nothing.
Evelia glanced at Liurian, gauging the Emperor and Empress’s mood. He seemed to be staring off into space, his face expressionless, lost in deep thought.
For some reason, he looked very worn out, and Evelia couldn’t take her eyes off him.
The uncomfortable silence was broken when Gardo’s voice suddenly addressed Evelia.
“I heard recently that the Crown Princess has been suffering from insomnia.”
Evelia looked at Gardo with slightly surprised eyes. It was a completely unexpected remark. She hurriedly added,
“My sleep has only been reduced a little.”
“I heard from the royal physician that you have been struggling to sleep properly.”
“There’s no need for concern. I’ve unnecessarily worried you. I’m sorry.”
Evelia showed an awkward but polite smile, understanding the goodwill in his words but not finding them pleasant.
Gardo’s apparent goodwill was only for formalities. It was not the sort of affection or loyalty that would extend a helping hand, as Phailin would.
“Speaking of which, your complexion seems better than before. But if you are struggling, just say so. I will instruct the royal physician to take special care of the Crown Princess.”
“Thank you for even saying so.”
Evelia instinctively curved her eyes in a polite manner.
Gardo’s eyes glowed quite trustworthily, but Evelia did not believe him.
Of course, after this banquet, Gardo would, as he said, give instructions to the royal physician dedicated to the Crown Princess’s palace.
However, that would be only a behavior to formally express minimal concern for her, and there would surely be no significant meaning behind it.
She realized her position anew. How to suppress this bitterness. She no longer had the strength to react sadly to every little thing.
Evelia maintained her external expression and simply waited for the food to be prepared. The servants bustled, filling the table with delicious food, and the doors to the banquet hall closed.
Titter, someone’s suppressed laughter made the atmosphere turn chilly in an instant.
“That’s funny.”
Evelia looked incredulously at the person next to her. The face of Liurian, twisting his lips into a smile while staring directly at Gardo, filled her eyes.
“The imperial physicians are said to be among the best in the empire, but it turns out they’re a useless bunch that can’t properly care for a disease without the Emperor’s command,” Liurian blurted out without hesitation, his words raw and unrefined.
Gadro’s face stiffened in an instant.
“I have repeatedly told you to be cautious in your speech.”
“If they’re not useless, then the Crown Princess’s insomnia must prove how weak she is.”
“Liurian!”
Gadro couldn’t contain himself and slammed the table. Nonetheless, Liurian didn’t flinch in the slightest, instead flashing a brighter gleam towards the Emperor.
“I thought I was the only one tormenting the Crown Princess, but it seems that was not the case.”
“…….”
“I, who was the sole reason for troubling the Crown Princess’s mind, have been away for a year, yet the Crown Princess’s mental state is weaker than it was a year ago.”
Evelia opened her lips in disbelief, watching him speak with a hint of ridicule at the end of his words. She was more confused than ever before. She couldn’t understand why he was suddenly behaving this way.
Certainly, up until the Emperor and Empress were seated, he had been blaming her for making him seem indifferent as a husband. So why had he suddenly turned that arrow towards the Emperor and Empress?
“Your Majesty, I think there may be a misunderstanding…….”
Evelia, who had been faltering, whispered to Liurian in a low voice. But before she could finish her sentence, his gaze was deeply fixed on Evelia’s face.
Evelia took in Liurian’s gaze, momentarily at a loss for words.
It was a look she had never seen before.
As if furious and at a loss, his eyes were boiling hot.
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:
