“Why? It’s not just the queen of a small kingdom. You’re becoming the Empress of the empire.”
That’s why I dislike it.
Reneuve swallowed the words that had reached the tip of her throat.
Clearly, Ikar wouldn’t easily accept a refusal.
Reneuve bit her lower lip.
“What to do.”
What Ikar wants is the power of the Duke of Siren.
However, the Duke of Siren had sworn loyalty to the Paradigm Imperial Family and would definitely not flee.
Even if Reneuve begged Bashuker to flee, he would not listen unless she married Ikar.
Ikar also seemed to understand this, hence the proposal.
“In that case…”
Reneuve had to clearly show Ikar that she was not that remarkable.
So that his words asking her to become the Empress would never come out of his mouth again.
With a serious expression, Reneuve opened her mouth.
“The wish of all noble young ladies is to become a member of a high-ranking family.”
“You surprisingly know well. Among all the noble young ladies, I thought you were the only one who didn’t know.”
Despite Ikar’s sarcasm, Reneuve spoke calmly and impartially.
“There’s no higher status than the Empress of the Empire in this world. However, I have no interest in high status or power.”
Ikar frowned as if he didn’t understand.
“Are you saying you’re content with your current status?”
“Yes, I think it’s a great fortune to be the daughter of a duke.”
Reneuve ended her words with a faint smile.
“The most important thing is that I don’t have the ability to be suitable for the Empress. As you know, I lack sociability.”
Reneuve looked at Ikar with a somewhat relieved expression.
Hoping that Ikar would give up now that she had revealed her lack of ambition.
“My thoughts differ from yours. And I guarantee your ability.”
She wanted to refute, but her words were stuck.
“I think someone like you is the most suitable for the position of the Empress. And the more I talk to you, the more convinced I become.”
Reneuve slightly furrowed her brows at Ikar’s unexpected response.
However, she soon wore the external smile she had practiced countless times during her Empress days and asked.
“Your Majesty, do you intend to respect my opinion?”
“Of course.”
Ikar thought it was stubbornness, but seeing the willing agreement, he felt surprisingly able to communicate. Reneuve spoke in a soft voice.
“His Majesty the Emperor of the vast empire, as vast as the sea, would accept my refusal…”
“No.”
Ikar cut her off sharply.
“I have no intention of doing so.”
Reneuve slightly turned her head, struggling not to sigh.
It was not just ordinary stubbornness after all.
‘Negotiations have failed.’
Deciding to look forward to the next opportunity, Reneuve said,
“The temperature seems to be dropping as the sun sets. I should go back now.”
“Is it cold?”
Though her body had cooled, it was not unbearable.
Just as she was about to say she was fine, Ikar took off his coat and wrapped it around Reneuve’s shoulders.
“I’m fine… I’m going back now.”
Reneuve tried to take off the coat Ikar had put on her, but Ikar quickly added,
“Don’t worry, it would be a great disservice to my chivalry if you caught a cold.”
“Why would my cold have anything to do with your chivalry?”
“Both Druhan and Baine know you were out with me today.”
“Of course.”
They were Ikar’s closest aides, so it was natural for them to know his whereabouts.
“What do you think those two would say to me if I let you catch a cold?”
Caught up in Ikar’s peculiar logic, Reneuve found herself nodding.
“They would say my chivalry is lacking, wouldn’t they?”
She felt that she could be criticized for not taking good care of the lady.
“Then go. I’ll escort you to the guest room.”
Ikar extended his hand.
Reneuve looked at him quietly.
Then Ikar abruptly grabbed her hand.
‘Why do people always act as they please?’
Reluctantly taking a step, Reneuve reflected on the past.
‘Since when has it been like this?’
Reneuve thought repeatedly.
And she soon found the answer.
‘Since the beginning.’
Remembering how he had suddenly stormed into the Paradigm Imperial Palace, and snuck into Count Siren’s residence, it made sense.
Realizing this, the furrow in Reneuve’s brow deepened.
‘Refusing him won’t be easy…’
Reneuve categorized Ikar as even more dangerous than Eshika.
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:
