Here is the English translation of the Korean paragraph:

“Madam has gone to the guild.”

Late at night, it was Ruth’s first words to Haldin, who was reviewing documents in his study after returning home.

Haldin, who had been immersed in his paperwork, not looking away from the documents whether someone came in or not, looked at Ruth in surprise at the unexpected news.

“Suddenly, what’s this all about?”

“Jerome Kyeong, who was patrolling the mansion, saw Madam and the maids sneaking out about an hour ago. So, he followed them, and they entered the guild district.”

Haldin lowered the sheet music he was holding and asked, still puzzled.

“At this hour?”

“Yes. They’ve just returned to the mansion.”

A small chuckle escaped from Haldin’s lips.

He never would have thought that the seemingly demure lady would indulge in such a cute escapade. Being caught off guard was quite thrilling.

“Shall we dig into what the request is about?”

“Why?”

“Who knows what she might be scheming, joining hands with the royal family? Maybe she’s planning to absorb Delmark. But for now, it’s unlikely she’d move the princess so recklessly when there are so many people who can act on behalf of the emperor.”

“Well, that makes sense.”

“Moreover, even if they’re planning something like that in the distant future, it’s probably not now. The emperor will need my power.”

Powerful words that would bring victory in the conquest war.

The purpose of this marriage, which Ivann was promoting, could be vaguely guessed from the conversation at the royal banquet.

“Why did the guild go?”

To Ruth’s question, Haldin, who was still rubbing his slightly damp black hair nervously, pressed his temples with a headache.

That was what he wanted to know.

With that small head of his, what he was thinking and what he was scheming.

But it wasn’t easy to easily figure out the client’s purpose from the guild, and if he forced it, it would become a bigger problem. If Blair found out, she would hide her purpose altogether.

After a while of silently playing the sheet music, Haldin muttered in a low voice.

“For now, just provide protection. Discreetly.”

New Year’s Eve was just a day away.

It was also the last day of the year.

Blair came down to the dining room as usual for breakfast. Haldin’s seat was empty again today.

“His Highness left early this morning due to work.”

Mason, who offered her a chair, explained as if making an excuse.

It made sense, given that he hadn’t had a meal with her since the day he had been busy with the maids.

But it was already a familiar sight to Blair.

“I still wanted to thank him for what he did for Lena.”

She thought she should thank him if they met again.

After breakfast, Blair rested briefly after trying on the dress made by the Countess Sinonel for the New Year’s festival.

“Madam, Lady Lorelein is here.”

Having woken up with a start upon hearing Lena’s voice, she found that it was time for the tea time that she had agreed on with Agnes.

Let’s go to the greenhouse where she’s waiting, and Agnes, who had been waiting for her, greeted her warmly.

“Hello, Madam. It was very cold these past few days. I hope you’ve been well.”

“Yes, I hope Lady Lorelein has been well too.”

“Yes, thanks to you.”

They had scheduled a meeting at the same time as last week’s first tea time, and today was their second tea time, so it was their first proper consultation.

Blair nervously played with the rim of her teacup.

She usually didn’t like meeting strangers, but she was not particularly nervous. She had met many strangers, even if she didn’t want to, as a princess by birth.

As an exception, she was uneasy and nervous when dealing with the people of Delmark Duchy before her reincarnation.
Here is the English translation of the Korean paragraph:

“Their constantly changing gazes seemed to be assessing whether she was a suitable duchess or someone fitting for Haldin.”

Since returning to the past, she was no longer afraid of those gazes, but strangely, facing Agnes made her nervous.

Agnes seemed like she could see through everything.

It was unfamiliar to her to share her story with someone. Since Esmeralda’s death, she had never shared her story with anyone.

Agnes handed her a warm tea and relaxed.

“By the way, it feels like we just welcomed the New Year yesterday, and in the blink of an eye, it’s already the last day of the year. Time really flies, doesn’t it?”

“Yes.”

Blair didn’t want to respond with just a brief answer, but she didn’t have much to say.

She had always lived a life where someone else would lead the atmosphere without her having to think of what to say.

Fortunately, Agnes didn’t seem to mind.

“Today, we decided to talk about old stories, didn’t we?”

“Yes. Where should we start?”

“Well, it might be hard to think of something if we just try to remember… How about talking about memories of the New Year’s festival?”

“The New Year’s festival?”

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:

Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?

Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?

Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?

The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.

The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.

Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
