Before me, Kirian, who was crouched down with his chin resting on his knees and staring intently, I found myself reaching out to hold his hand as if entranced.
The resolve to become somewhat friendly with Kirian faded, feeling overwhelmed as if I had to rush to a banquet right away.
His beauty was captivating enough to firmly bewitch anyone.
“No! No!”
Olivia suddenly stood up, flapping her arms and rushing over.
“Oh no, no!”
Olivia intervened between us.
“Sis! Marry me!”
“But!”
I pointed at the crouched Kirian.
“How can you coldly ignore this?”
Olivia folded her arms.
“What is it?”
“This!”
Looking down at Kirian again, I was at a loss for words. Kirian, who a moment ago seemed more miserable than a wet puppy and looked like he would cry if tapped, now had his mouth wide open with a silly expression.
“Looks just like a puppy.”
Kirian shook his head vigorously, and the lace flower trembled wildly.
“I’m not a puppy.”
It was a declaration that involuntarily made me nod.
There was no way such a cute monster could exist.
“I’m a princess.”
With hair curling to her ears and even wearing a lace headband, Kirian’s beauty was irresistible.
“Upon closer inspection, you do look like a princess……”
Olivia, clenching her fist, stomped her feet.
“No! I’m the princess! I’m going to marry Sis!”
Kirian tilted his head.
“A princess who’s not cuter than a puppy has arrived.”
Once again, Kirian demonstrated logic that would make even Aristotle cry.
“Sniff, sob. Wahh.”
In the end, Olivia burst into tears. I had to manage the situation before she bawled uncontrollably like yesterday.
“Don’t cry, Olivia.”
As I comforted her by patting her shoulder, Olivia blinked through her tears.
“Am I not cute?”
“No, you’re cute, you’re cute. Kirian was just joking.”
When I glanced at Kirian, he blinked with an innocent look.
“Sorry. Didn’t know it would be so shocking.”
Kirian fiddled with his hands and quietly added.
“Thought you already knew.”
I cried out in surprise.
“Kirian thinks you’re cute too! Right?”
Looking at Kirian with desperate eyes, he let out a short sigh.
“Sigh. Yeah. Olivia. You’re. Very. Cute.”
Fortunately, Olivia, still lacking tact, quickly brightened up again.
“Hehe. Thanks. Kirian, you’re a very fearsome puppy.”
Kirian simply pouted and remained silent.
In the end, the game continued until Kirian, who broke the curse of the sleeping princess, reformed from a monster to a righteous person, exchanged rings at the wedding where he officiated, and rode away on a horse disguised as a white horse.
“Sis, here you go.”
Throughout the game, Olivia continued her bizarre gift offensive under the guise of play.
She gave me dolls set up as wedding guests. Or children’s jewelry as the prince’s treasure. Or even conceded her share of the snacks for the wedding meal.
All were useless to me, but they were clearly things Olivia cherished.
“You don’t have to take them?”
“No. A real prince takes them.”
I looked at the pile of pretty trash stacked like a mountain with weary eyes.
“I don’t need them.”
“It means I like Sis this much.”
Seeing Olivia hug me with a big smile, I couldn’t refuse her again.
Crack.
“Oh, it’s broken.”
In Kirian’s hand were two pieces of a toy carriage that Olivia had gifted me.
“Oh! The carriage we have to ride to the prince’s country!”
Olivia tried to reattach the carriage, but it was no use, and she began to whimper.
“Sorry. Didn’t know it would break so easily.”
Kirian, apologizing and patting Olivia’s shoulder, was the very image of a mannerly gentleman.
Children normally grow by breaking and damaging things. But I had never seen Kirian, who had been more wellbehaved at home than anyone else, break something.
My suspicion continued to grow.
“Ah. What the.”
The dollhouse marked as our honeymoon home was shattered at Kirian’s feet.
“Ugh! What is this!”
Olivia rolled her fist and stomped her foot.
“I’m sorry. I’ll talk to my mother and get a new house.”
When Kirian apologized seriously, Olivia sobbed, but she couldn’t scream and throw a tantrum.
As things related to the prince and princess’s marriage broke one by one, I had to admit it.
He was clearly upset that he wasn’t marrying me.
It was impossible that I, who had only bribed him with candy a few times, would become something special to Kirian.
Clearly, he was upset because he couldn’t play the role of the main character, the princess.
So while Olivia was fussing to fix the toy, I quietly approached Kirian.
“Actually, you’re a queen.”
“A queen?”
Kirian cocked his head.
I didn’t doubt that now, his cuteness stood out, but he would become the owner of a face more beautiful than a queen when he grew a little more. There probably wouldn’t be a young noble lady who wouldn’t want to stand by Kirian’s side.
“Yeah. A queen. Sometimes the queen appears as a villain in fairy tales, but she’s not really a villain, she’s the main character. It’s because people who are jealous because the queen is too pretty made her a villain.”
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
