“Do it as you see fit. Assign rooms in the empress’s palace, but keep them as far away from the knights as possible. And try not to let them encounter Merem.”
“Understood.”
Since I had decided to choose a concubine, they would have to be brought into the empress’s palace. It was also for the empress’s prestige; who dared to object?
Whether I genuinely admired them or not didn’t matter.
What mattered was showing my authority.
“By the way, Enrique still hasn’t shown up today.”
At that time, I didn’t know Enrique could be so cowardly.
No, even if I knew, I would have found it cute.
“Like a baby lamb in appearance, one would likely say that even their actions are akin to that of a lamb, finding them adorable.
Anyway, since I am bold, it’s okay for you to be timid. Since I have no fear, feel free to be scared as much as you want.
I must have embraced and comforted him, pacifying and raising him.
‘But now, it’s just annoying.’
If you have something to say, say it in front of me.
While casually flipping my hair behind my ear with a somewhat rough gesture, I suddenly opened my mouth.
‘Wait a moment, isn’t the masquerade ball happening inside there?’
Maybe Enrique is mixed in with the guests inside.
Thinking that, I immediately got up.
I thought I should go in, find him, and grab him by the collar to have a conversation.
“Did I come at the right time?”
At that moment, like stardust exploding in the air, sparkling light particles fell.
The light particle on my shoulder is the familiar midday ocean color. Looking up, I saw Shaila descending step by step down from the night sky.
In the final step, he jumped down and stood in front of me.
In his arms, he held a teddy bear won at a dart competition.
“Here’s a gift.”
“Oh, right, we had a date, didn’t we?”
“That’s mean. You forgot, didn’t you.”
If Mermem’s reason for clinging to me was to make me forget about Shaila, he succeeded.
The memory of planning to go on a date with Shaila on the last day had evaporated from my mind.
“I scouted and there’s no significant movement yet.”
“That’s a relief.”
The teddy bear looked awkward.
Holding it, I felt unsure of what to do with it.
Why do humans carry things like this?
No, what is the meaning behind it?
Unable to understand, I stared intently at the round eyes of the teddy bear, and Shaila burst into laughter.
“Are you having a staring contest with the doll?”
“This doll, it’s just…”
I almost accidentally said, ‘It’s not smiling,’ but stopped myself.
Since getting on this ship, it has become a bit difficult to distinguish between my original self and my self as the Empress.
‘I should get off quickly.’
After a fake cough, I embraced the teddy bear again in Shaila’s arms.
Even in the darkness, the silver hair and the soft, milky-white face were clear. The lovely pink lips matched well with the cream-colored teddy bear.
“It’s better if you hold it.”
“It’s an honor. Can I sleep with it, thinking of it as the Empress?”
Is this what they call flirting as if breathing?
Impressed, I was about to admire it when Shaila closed his eyes, smiled, and tapped his fingers.
“I heard that the masquerade ball is going on. I want to dress you up.”
The ocean-colored particles gently enveloped my body, and in an instant, it seemed like Shailo was creating a rich dress and mask.
Finally, Shailo, who had even created blue shoes, knelt before me with one knee.
“I will offer them to you.”
As I slipped my foot into the shoes, Shailo, satisfied, seemed to hum as if pleased.
“As expected, it suits you well as I thought.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Perhaps due to the lantern light, his face looked a bit flush.
It felt good to be enveloped from head to toe in something he had created himself.
“Surprisingly, it seems like there’s a desire for control.”
It was fascinating because this type was new to me.
“Well, there’s nothing I can’t accommodate.”
I placed my hand on Shailo’s arm.
Nevertheless, before entering the ballroom, my gaze briefly turned to the bow.
Though it was too dark to see, I could clearly sense Mermem’s energy.
The ballroom sparkled all around.
I had advised Shailo not to touch the champagne beforehand.
If the Sirens appeared, Shailo would be a great help, so he shouldn’t fall asleep.
While Shailo dealt with the Sirens and protected the ship, my plan was to go into the sea with Mermem and meet their leader.
“Would you honor me with a dance?”
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~
