Both the prince and his knight were noticeably holding large bags.
Duke Kaidel appeared behind them shortly.
“What are you doing here?”
He, too, held a dark bag and seemed annoyed as he shot the question at me.
‘Why is His Highness Greyen here…’
I took a step back, hesitating. They were certainly trying to secretly exit the Third Imperial Palace with those suspicious bags.
I felt an instant realization that I shouldn’t have seen what I had. My eyes filled with tears of frustration.
‘Is it ever a peaceful day?’
I bowed my head quickly and said, trying to act as calmly and ignorant as possible.
“I was on my way back to my quarters…! I apologize for walking carelessly, Your Highness!”
However, the prince did not respond.
An icy atmosphere.
In my lowered field of vision, I could see their bags.
Surely, they must contain the dangerous arrows crafted by Director Loinman.
Just then, the knight’s cloak lifted slightly at the arm. He was drawing a dagger from his waist.
He was going to silence me. I held my breath in fear.
At that moment, Duke Kaidel stepped in front of me and spoke.
“Your Highness!”
“She saw us, Rocard.”
“She won’t say anything.”
“How meticulous you are, saying such a thing!”
As Greyen His Highness and Duke Kaidel exchanged glaring looks, my limbs felt like they were going numb.
However, now was not the time to stand idly. I quickly said,
“I saw nothing, Your Highness!”
Still, there was no change in His Highness Greyen’s expression. His eyes were filled with sharp suspicion.
Duke Kaidel approached Greyen His Highness and whispered in his ear.
“Are you planning to kill your own Lady Luck?”
Greyen His Highness gave Duke Kaidel a look that screamed, ‘What nonsense is this?’
“The person who found you the medicine for that humiliating infection was her. Have you heard any rumors about that incident?”
If I had blabbered about the parasite incident, songs about the Second Prince would probably be circulating in every tavern across the empire by now.
“Songs like, ‘Inside the small sun lives worms,’ or something.”
Usually, people’s mockery spreads like wildfire.
“Rocard!”
“She is here just to survive. She will not jeopardize herself by speaking carelessly, Your Highness.”
Duke Kaidel’s voice was putting pressure on Greyen His Highness.
The corridor was dark, but it felt as if I could see Greyen His Highness’s twisted face from under his hood.
Greyon, who had clenched his teeth for a moment, spoke as if chewing his words.
“I don’t know her. Rocard.”
“I do.”
“If you’re so insistent, would you stake your life on her words?”
Rocard glanced at me upon hearing that.
I thought I was as good as dead now.
There was no reason for him to put his life on the line for me, whom he barely knew.
Above all, he was the successor to Kaidel, who wielded the military power of the empire.
A person carrying such a massive responsibility couldn’t gamble with their own life at will.
Yet, he nodded firmly.
“I will take responsibility for her actions concerning this matter. Just as I would stake my life for you today, I’m certain of her innocence.”
What is this man saying…
I forgot even to breathe as I stared at his faintly outlined face in the darkness.
Greyon’s mumbling made my spine grow cold.
“Unpleasant words, Rocard. Very unpleasant.”
Duke Kaidel probably didn’t mean it that way, but his words just now ran the risk of sounding like he valued me as much as he did his Highness.
The Second Prince seemed to have taken it that way, too.
But Duke Kaidel sharply responded.
“There’s no time for this if we’re to catch the tide, Your Highness.”
Greyon, after shooting a glance at both of us, ground his teeth as he spoke.
“Fine. She’s your responsibility now.”
“Thank you, Your Highness.”
“Take her away.”
“Your Highness!”
‘What…?’
I looked at Greyon with a bewildered expression, while Duke Kaidel seemed to grit his teeth to suppress his voice.
“Your Highness! Are you saying this because you don’t know where we’re heading?”
That’s when Greyon moved closer to Duke Kaidel, his hood falling back.
The eyes that were revealed seemed to declare that he wouldn’t tolerate any obstruction or betrayal.
As he had said, he had no reason to trust me. All the more reason not to bear the burden of neglecting a potential risk like me.
“Make your decision now, whether to deal with it now or take her with you. Rocard.”
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:
