“If she decided to enter the Imperial University, I thought she would not be ordinary. But being shy is unexpected?”
“She’s a woman with many unexpected parts.”
Caeron remembered the last time he drafted a marriage contract. The thought of the confident look she had as she said she would do her best for ‘successor training’ often gave him strength.
He laughed at himself, who felt hot like a greenhorn wanting to have the first night soon after the wedding ceremony.
Would this blind thirst be quenched when he truly held her in his arms?…… He was curious and looking forward to it.
“An unexpected woman, nice.”
Shade nodded his head, thinking of the young aristocrat he left behind in the Risandro Empire.
“It’s most thrilling when such demure women become aggressive in bed.”
Shade whispered secretly with a smooth smile on his lips. Caeron’s eyebrow went up.
“Stop talking nonsense.”
“I misspoke. It’s scary if you stare like that.”
Shade changed the topic with a playful laugh at the sharp glare.
“Ah, by the way, the 3rd prince of Risandro is coming to study abroad at the University of the Upiteur Empire.”
“3rd prince?”
“Don’t you remember when he came as an envoy last time? I mean the twin princes born to the empress.”
Caeron remembered the time he went to the Risandro Empire. He remembered Princess Ophelia, who had stood at every crossroad he passed while staying in the palace. There was a twin prince with that annoying princess.
“Didn’t you tie with him at the shooting competition? He looked like a saint who only read books, but everyone was surprised then.”
That reminded him clearly.
‘Reinien Biel de Risandro.’
The 3rd prince, who lived quietly without participating in the emperor’s competition as the son of the empress. At first glance, Reinien with a soft impression seemed like a weakhearted man as rumored.
But in the shooting competition held for friendship, Reinien transformed like a beast revealing its teeth after taking off its sheep’s mask. Every time Caeron’s shotgun hit the target, Reinien also hit the target precisely.
The competition ended in a draw only when the prepared pigeons fell. When Reinien approached to shake hands after the game, his face, from which the usual gentleness had completely disappeared, was fierce.
He quietly said, putting strength into the hand he held out to shake.
Indeed, you have wonderful skills. However, I would appreciate it if you would take into consideration that you might inadvertently get hurt by a gun you shoot carelessly.
What do you mean?
Where Reinien was silently looking, Ophelia, who had been secretly watching the shooting competition, was there. As soon as Caeron’s gaze reached her, she was startled and hid her body.
It was a different look than when she tried to confront him. Come to think of it, the princess hadn’t appeared in front of him recently. The point of her change was….
‘Was it then.’
There was a young duke who had been ardently courting her since her arrival with the envoy. He staked his life in front of her, pleading for her affection. He argued that if she did not accept him this time, he might as well die.
Please accept my love. I may die if the Grand Duke leaves.
Is your life worth only that much? Pathetic. I have no interest in whether such a worthless life lives or dies.
The shocked young duke sank to his knees, but he cruelly turned his back. Then he noticed Princess Ophelia, who had been watching him and the young duke.
Her face, pale with horror, was as if she were the young duke, marred by deep injury. Since then, the princess avoided him until the moment he left the Lisandro Empire.
After reflecting on his past, Caeron’s gaze sharpened like a needle.
“A sudden study abroad… It seems the competition for the throne in Lisandro has intensified.”
“That’s right. It seems the empress made a move. Even though the third prince kept quiet, he must have been a concern.”
“Certainly… the first or second prince, the sons of the empress, are less fitting for the emperor’s seat than he.”
Caeron nodded, remembering the reckless and arrogant first prince and the lascivious second prince.
In comparison, the third prince, Rainion, seemed harmless at first glance, but he was like a predatory beast lurking in the shadows. He was definitely a man who could fully exhibit leadership fit for an emperor once he stood tall.
Predators recognized each other just by the look in their eyes. He was naturally curious about whether such a man would continue to hide himself.
“Keep an eye on the situation in the Lisandro Empire. If the emperor changes, the political landscape will also change.”
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. Isn’t that why I’m working so hard?”
In reality, Shade had set out on a grand tour under the pretext of broadening his horizons, but in actuality, he was assessing the political landscape of the neighboring countries and consistently reporting back to Caeron.
It was easier for a highranking nobleman from Uupiter to collect information by infiltrating the social circles of the surrounding nations. Especially for a charming and sociable young duke, women did not hesitate to disclose the secret stories of the major houses.
“The third prince is not as easygoing as he seems. If he comes to Uupiter, plant some spies around him.”
“I’ll follow your instructions. However… Your Highness.”
Shade’s playful gaze suddenly turned serious. He asked in a much lower voice,
“How long do you intend to play the kingmaker?”
To Shade, Caeron was not only a friend but the lord he truly admired. He was a man who fit the emperor’s role better than anyone else, so Shade could not accept that he had ceded the throne to his younger brother and stepped down.
It was Caeron who was the pillar of support behind the young and inexperienced Emperor Pascal. From the top of the nobles’ council to the internal politics and even the diplomacy dealing with external political situations, there was no part he did not get involved in.
“It’s not time yet.”
Caeron quietly lowered his head. His blue eyes, lost in thought, deepened.
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.
