From a distance, the sound of galloping hooves was heard quickly, and the bandits looking out turned their heads, their eyes widening as they shouted,
“It’s a lion!”
Gev also raised his blurry eyes, and his eyes widened as well.
Asha was steadily pulling her bowstring towards them as she rode the galloping horse.
Her blonde hair was wildly flying, and her purple eyes shone intensely.
Asha didn’t hesitate to shoot arrows at the bandits.
“…Ahh!”
Jackal paid attention to her maintaining her body’s center so she could shoot swiftly and broke through the encirclement.
There was a spark in Asha’s eyes.
‘I won’t hesitate to save someone now.’
In her past life, the day a minority village was suppressed, she had run away in fear.
If she had known sooner that she was a butterfly, that she had this power, she had regretted it many times.
Although she couldn’t kill life unnecessarily, she now had the confidence to save life without hesitation.
And when she decided that, the power of the butterfly she possessed became even stronger.
Asha quickly placed arrows on her bowstring, shooting them swiftly.
To the eye, it looked like she was shooting arrows randomly, but amazingly, every shot was on target.
Golden wind swirled around her hand and arrows, making the arrows land exactly where she wanted, even when shot at random.
The windimbued arrows pierced the bandits’ skin like a whirlwind.
Jackal felt an inexplicable joy, running more excitedly.
Fortunately, there weren’t many bandits, and Asha was able to fend them off on her own.
Having dealt with all the bandits, Asha swept back her long hair roughly and looked down at Gev, asking,
“Are you okay?”
Gev dumbly opened his mouth, looking up at her.
Her surroundings were filled with bandits writhing on the ground.
Gev stammered,
“How did you know to come here? I’m sure I sent a note to the captain…”
At that, Jackal beside her blushed, but Asha calmly said,
“Shepi and I found your falcon while we were out.”
Gev let out a hollow laugh.
“The name ‘Shepi,’ which has no origin, is funny, and the word ‘outing,’ which doesn’t match the current situation, is also funny, but the fact that he knows his own horse is breathtaking.
Asha, upon discovering his injury, was surprised and rushed over.
“Are you hurt? Let me see!”
“…It’s fine. Don’t make a fuss, sister.”
“Sister…?”
Asha blinked.
The honorific had changed from ‘Princess’ to ‘Miss,’ and now it had changed to ‘sister.’
It was her first time being called ‘sister’ by a man, but Asha thought about it with a serious face.
‘Is it good…? Still, ‘sister’ feels a bit stronger than ‘Miss’, right?’
Geb, too, responded with a serious face.
“I was careless. I never thought they would target the patrol…”
“They probably intended to use you as bait.”
At Asha’s reply, Geb was slightly startled and asked,
“…What?”
“They probably intended to use you as bait to try to negotiate with us.”
Asha had naturally begun to refer to the Ricarions as ‘us,’ but Geb was too bewildered to realize that.
“How do you know that?”
Asha spoke with a slightly bitter smile on her lips.
“It’s obvious, what. What would they gain by killing you? They would be lucky not to incite the Captain’s wrath and be hunted down. They probably acted out of revenge for last time. They wanted to tear something bigger and more valuable than the food the Ricarions stole. Don’t ask how I know. I can see those bastards’ minds without looking. I’ve been deceived many times.”
“…”
At her last words, Geb became unnecessarily somber.
He seemed to have misunderstood her greatly all this time.
He had thought she would live comfortably without knowing the ways of the world like a princess, but it seemed she had lived through all sorts of trials and tribulations.
Lost in thought, he suddenly met eyes with the horse behind him.
Somehow, the horse with blue eyes that looked exactly like the captain blinked its eyes once as if to say, ‘Your thoughts are correct now.’
“…?”
Geb was momentarily puzzled by the humanlike appearance of the horse, but was soon startled by Asha.
Asha quickly pulled out a handkerchief from her bosom and applied a tourniquet to the bleeding leg.
Geb was too stunned to even protest, just blinking his eyes, and Asha was focusing on the handkerchief, tightly knotting it as she spoke.
“We’ll treat the wound when we return to the village. If it festers, you might not walk for a long time. Then you’ll be scolded by the Captain.”
At her last words, Geb laughed.
They rode their horses together to the village.
After a while, Geb spoke as if to himself.
“…You were a bit cool back there, sister.”
Asha looked at him and asked,
“But are you going to keep calling me sister from now on?”
Geb raised an eyebrow, then asked mischievously,
“Why? Can’t I?”
“Then I’ll call you whatever I want.”
Asha closed her eyes and spoke coyly.
“Since you owe me your life, brother, you’re treating me to dinner tonight.”
Geb chuckled, laughing.
“Why not, sure.”
At that moment, Shepi made a ‘whinnying’ noise, apparently displeased.
It was jealous of the cheerful atmosphere between the two.
Asha quickly soothed Shepi by gently stroking its mane.
“Let’s go eat, Shepi. You worked really hard today.”
Geb watched the scene thoughtfully.
“Did the captain give you that horse?”
Jackal blushed.”
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.
