Emperor’s procession leaving the desert border was immensely impressive.
Boom!
A large monster, Lucabos, covered with thick fur mats to brace for the cold of the Nix Empire, moved with heavy steps.
Lucabos, native to the south of the desert, were docile monsters despite their intimidating tusks, large ears, and long snout-like nose, making them relatively easy to tame compared to their enormous size.
However, it would be a mistake to equate Lucabos with ordinary animals like horses or camels.
Taming a monster required considerable wealth to provide fresh prey and formidable strength to be recognized as its master.
Thus, riding a tamed monster was a testament to those two aspects.
Therefore, the Emperor of the Quan Desert Empire and his family always rode Lucabos.
The only exception was Meriam.
“He survived again this time?”
“Not a single scratch, they say.”
“He’s still ominous, though. Thank goodness for the divine revelation. We can get rid of him legally in this country.”
“True. What use is the blessing of the Spirit King? Even when the rivers dry up, not a drop of rain.”
“No, rather the reason Diawan’s water dried up is…”
After a full day’s travel, the procession decided to camp at the border.
While the royal family members rested comfortably inside their tents, Meriam was the exception, as always.
No one set up a tent for him, nor was he provided one.
His treatment was no different from that of an ordinary soldier.
Not expecting anything, Meriam sat far from the campfire, silently sharpening his kukri, pretending not to hear the murmurs behind him.
He was never bothered by such backtalk, even more so now.
He was on his way to being discarded.
“Stay still.”
Angered by the blame for the river drying up, a water droplet quivered and leaped like flames.
Meriam gently warned the droplet and finished what he was doing.
He understood the soldiers’ anger and contempt. The Spirit King Eldaim he had contracted with at the age of five indeed possessed great power.
The problem was him.
Eldaim was exerting all its power to suppress the raging solar energy inside him, making it impossible to bring rain.
If Eldaim even slightly relaxed its power, the scorching energy would chew him up and turn him into ash.
Meriam. The ignorant people chatter so. Will you let them be?
“It doesn’t matter.”
Your power is immense. They don’t see it, those with eyes like knots!
“It’s okay.”
Meriam’s conversation with the Spirit King appeared to be mere muttering, further worsening his reputation.
His survival from the Emperor’s missions was perceived as due to unsettlingly good luck, rather than his strength as a warrior.
It was an unfair perception, but inevitable, given the Emperor and his consort’s influence.
“Lord Meriam. The Grand Emperor summons you.”
At that moment.
Hearing the Emperor’s summons, Meriam promptly stood up.
Despite various noises from inside the tent, Meriam’s face showed no change in expression.
Being left standing outside was a great insult, but Meriam felt no humiliation.
If you don’t see or hear, it doesn’t matter.
Especially since he would soon be leaving this country.
‘Even if the Nix Empire is like hell, it can’t be worse than here. That divine revelation might actually be my salvation.’
With a bitter smile inside, Meriam briefly looked up to the sky.
A golden moon hung amidst the high branches.
The sight of the Emperor’s procession leaving the desert border was truly magnificent.
Boom!
The large beast Lucabos, prepared for the cold of the Nix Empire with thick fur mats, moved with heavy steps.
Lucabos, native to the southern desert, were docile monsters despite their large ears, long snout-like nose, and fearsome tusks. They were easy to tame, contrary to their massive size.
However, equating Lucabos with ordinary animals like horses or camels would be a mistake.
Taming a monster like this required significant wealth to provide fresh prey and the formidable strength to be acknowledged as a master.
Thus, riding a tamed monster was a proof of both.
Therefore, the Emperor of the Quan Desert Empire and his family always rode Lucabos, with the only exception being Meriam.
“He survived again?”
“Not even a scratch this time.”
“He’s still unlucky. Good thing the divine revelation came. We can legally get rid of him in this country.”
“That’s true. What use is the blessing of the Spirit King if the rivers dry up and not a drop of rain falls?”
“No, rather the reason Diawan’s water dried up is…”
After traveling for a whole day, the procession decided to camp at the border.
While the royal family members rested inside their tents, Meriam was, as always, the exception. No one set up a tent for him, nor was he provided one.
His treatment was no different from that of an ordinary soldier.
Not expecting anything, Meriam chose a spot far from the campfire and quietly sharpened his kukri, ignoring the whispers behind him.
He never cared about such backtalk, even more so now.
He was on his way to being discarded.
“Stay still.”
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 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.
