He willingly let go of the woman who was shaking him off.
“I must excuse myself, Your Grace.”
The woman left a short greeting and dashed out of the library like she was running. Her tempting hair, like ripened wheat, waved in the wind.
Caeron gently took in the sight of the woman running away. Despite his leisurely expression, he clenched his fist. His cursed body screamed, wanting to chase after the woman immediately.
Even after she completely disappeared, the image of the woman looking at him with her straight eyes was not forgotten as if it was engraved in his mind.
‘I hope she never catches my eye again…’
His reason told him it would be better that way.
From the beginning, Caeron disliked variables. Especially, losing his reason entwined with the existence called women was the variable he thought was most foolish.
Just so happened to encounter that variable at the Imperial University, where he set foot after a long time.
Entering the library corridor, he was intoxicated with the unfamiliar scent strongly pulling him, and unknowingly walked here as if he was bewitched.
At the end of his steps, there was her, engrossed in a book.
‘I wasn’t sane.’
Caeron stroked his hair with a selfmocking smile.
He was about to move his steps, wrapping up his complex feelings as an inexplicable impulse for a moment, when he stopped.
His gaze landed on a cloche that seemed to be left behind by the woman. Was it because her lingering scent was still in the library… Eventually, he picked up the trace left by the woman.
‘Idel…’
It was the name of a woman embroidered inside the hat. He went through the names of the noble daughters he remembered, but he couldn’t find it.
It seemed like a welltaught middle class person, considering the manners ingrained in her body looked like a noble…
“Your Grace! You’re here? I’ve been looking for you.”
It was his aide, Gregory, who broke his thoughts. If anything, this talkative aide was the culprit for making him meet a variable he didn’t want.
“The entrance exam is all over. Let’s go to the dean’s office. Huh? But what’s that in your hand? It looks like a cloche that women wear…”
“Huh…”
Caeron, who sighed deeply, moved to the dean’s office without answering. Gregory hopped behind him.
“Why did you get a woman’s hat that wasn’t there when we came? Did you have a secret meeting in the library…”
“If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll withdraw the recruitment of the new aide.”
“What a bitter thing to say? I’ve been waiting for this day! According to Professor Nychen, who was in charge of the exam earlier, a great talent has come…”
Ignoring Gregory’s noisy talk with one ear, Caeron walked silently, throwing his gaze out the window. It was a look as if unconsciously searching for someone.
“Your Grace, Duke! Are you here?”
Upon arriving at the dean’s office, Jefferson, the dean of the University of Upi Tertiary Empire, which Caeron was nominally the chairman of, greeted him warmly. Professor Nychen of the Department of Administration also discovered him and bowed respectfully.
“You’re recruiting a new aide from the freshmen in the Department of Administration. There are many good talents among the current students, why a freshman…”
“Hmm, I think it would be more rewarding to mentor and grow a new student. Plus, the Duke plans to spare no sponsorship for a great talent from the start.”
With sparkling eyes as if to say, ‘Isn’t that right, your Highness?’, Gregory answered on behalf of the principal. Caeron nonchalantly nodded his head, seeming bored.
He was getting tired of Gregory constantly pestering him to find a new student who would work diligently under him.
“Among the freshmen who took the entrance exam for the Department of Administration, this answer is the best. But this freshman is…….”
“Oh, really? Let me have a look.”
Interrupting Professor Nychen’s words, Gregory, with his impatient temperament, almost snatched the answer paper from him.
‘No, but that freshman is….’
Professor Nychen puckered his lips due to his unfinished sentence.
Despite being a topscoring answer that anyone could see, the person who wrote this would have difficulty becoming an aide to the Duke’s household.
“Wow! This answer is perfect, isn’t it? Did a freshman really write this?”
Gregory opened his mouth in admiration after quickly scanning the answer. The orderly written text had very solid grounds supporting its argument.
Despite being talkative, Gregory was good at handling his work. That was why the responsibility of hiring a new assistant was entirely entrusted to him.
Caeron, uninterested in the freshman’s answer paper, was fiddling with the croix and lost in thought.
“Let’s go with this person! No, it has to be this person. The name is…….”
Gregory, filled with certainty, checked the name written on the answer paper.
“Number 136…… Idel?”
At the familiar name uttered by Gregory, the action of fondling the croix stopped. At the same time, Caeron’s long hand reached for the answer paper Gregory was holding.
“……Give it here.”
He received the answer paper and sharply searched for her trace with his eyes.
The scent reminiscent of the perfume on the croix faintly pervaded the paper. The slender and elegant handwriting resembled the concise and clear sentences of the hat’s owner.
“After taking the exam, she was the first to submit her answer and leave. That’s why I remember. The student who submitted the answer was…….”
Professor Nychen hesitated and then completed his sentence.
“……a woman.”
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:
