“…Yes, I’m married.”
“Judging by the look on your face, you must have deep feelings for your partner.”
As the old man’s laughter filled the air, Idel, surprised, covered her cheeks with her hands.
“Can you… tell?”
“Of course. It’s the face of someone deeply in love.”
As the old man’s chuckles grew louder, Idel felt her cheeks warm under the palms of her hands.
“Yeah, the man who stole the heart of this lovely lady. How did you meet him?”
As Idel exchanged stories with the old man, she felt increasingly comfortable.
‘If my grandmother were alive, would it have felt like this?’
Idel’s eyes, looking at the old man, softened. As if becoming a granddaughter, she continued to talk to the old man, sincerely sharing the story of her meeting with Kaelon, omitting only the part about their status.
“So, did he propose a contractual marriage?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Huh, as expected of that bloodline!” mumbled the old man, tongue-in-cheek. Not understanding what he said, Idel asked, “What did you just say?”
“Oh, nothing. Well then, are you okay with it?”
The old man examined her with a worried expression.
“If the contract ends, the relationship with that man will end as well.”
“…I think I have to bear my share of it. After all, I’m the one who agreed to the contract.”
‘I didn’t know my feelings for him would become this sincere.’ With a wistful addition, Idel looked at the old man, and the wrinkles on his face, burdened with contemplation, deepened.
“Unrequited love, carried alone, weakens and sickens people.”
As the old man recalled someone from distant memories, his pupils became distant. Overlapping with Idel’s face in front of him, the face of a woman who resembled her features astonishingly appeared in his mind.
“Sir…?”
Staring at her for a while with a melancholy look, the old man slowly opened his mouth.
“My child, is it really okay not to achieve your love?”
“…!”
Idel’s entire body stiffened. The emotions she felt towards the old man were clearly different from before. The comforting feeling had disappeared entirely, replaced by a sensation of being overwhelmed by something enormous.
“A foolish man who doesn’t know love will hurt you again and make you wither away. It will leave you in unhappiness.”
“…!”
At the old man’s decisive words, Idel widened her eyes and struggled to part her lips.
“No… It’s not like that.”
“No, really? Does that man say he loves you?”
“…No. That’s not the case, but…”
Idel raised her head with a pitiful expression, but soon responded with a determined gaze and a firm voice.
“Undoubtedly, unrequited love can be painful… However, being unhappy due to a love that doesn’t receive reciprocity is not the case for me.”
“…Why is that?”
Idel’s strong determination made the old man tilt his head as if he couldn’t understand.
“Well…”
In response to the old man’s question, Idel closed her eyes quietly, recalling someone in her thoughts.
“Even the fact that I, who had lived hiding myself like a shadow, came out into the world and unfolded my will…”
She spoke slowly, exhaling a breath from the depths of her chest.
“Deciding to undergo the coming-of-age ceremony in front of the tribe members, whom I could not face alone until now…”
It was something she could never have done alone.
‘Yes, what gave me the courage was…’
“All because everyone loved him. With that love alone, I became stronger than ever before.”
As Idel opened her eyes that had been closed, she faced the old man with an unwavering gaze.
“My love for him will never wither or die. Instead, it makes me even stronger.”
In an instant, an indescribably intense fragrance spread around Idel, accompanied by a shimmering light.
As if responding to her fragrance, every life in the Fairy Forest wriggled with vitality. Young leaves sprouted on tree branches, and flower petals that had folded unfolded widely.
“My child…”
In the sight of such a scene, a transparent dew appeared in the old man’s misty eyes.
“You resemble the child I loved, but at the same time, you’re different.”
Whispering incomprehensible words, the old man reached out and gently stroked Idel’s head. Under the old man’s touch, Idel somehow felt her body gradually relaxing. As a warm and cozy energy enveloped her entire being, drowsiness gradually overcame her.
‘Her unyielding strong heart will someday bring true love.’
Whispering with a voice that sounded like the murmur of the wind, the old man’s voice was the last thing Idel heard before she fell into a deep sleep.
When she opened her eyes again…
“Idel…! Idel!”
It was because of the urgently calling voice of a familiar man.
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.
