‘How?’
Was last night too impressive? So, is she dreaming of him?
Brody blinked her eyes, looking at the ice wall Duke with a cold expression.
“I’m leaving.”
A shudder ran down Brody’s arm at the low voice that broke the silence.
‘It’s real,’ she realized.
Without giving Brody a chance to do anything, the Duke abruptly lifted her up.
Brody’s thin body was hung on the Duke’s large shoulder like laundry.
‘Have you come to catch me? A mere prisoner? Why? And how?’
Brody briefly considered using her powers to escape, but soon realized that she was in a very disadvantageous position.
He had managed to track her down not long after she had escaped so well.
Moreover, there was no retinue around him. He had come alone.
The Duke might not be a special ability user, Brody had a reasonable doubt.
Since the Duke was a onetime extra who died as soon as he appeared in the novel, there was no information about him.
So it seemed safer to be caught quietly and attempt escape as before.
Without any special explanation, the Duke carried Brody on his shoulder and went down the forest.
Can a human be this fast?
He came down the mountain like a nimble deer, as swift as the wind.
Being shaken this way and that while slung over his shoulder, and with her face turned upside down toward the ground, the blood rushed to her head to the point of death.
‘No, you spared me, and now you repay kindness with enmity?!’
Brody did not dare say it out loud due to the icy Duke’s sharp aura and scolded him inwardly.
Well, I can’t say, ‘I came to kill you but didn’t kill you[dash]’ anyway, so it’s something I couldn’t say.
He managed to return to the camp by running the distance Brody had escaped all day in about two hours.
The officers and soldiers were stunned as they watched the Duke coming in, carrying the escaped prisoner like a hunted beast.
When the ice wall Duke arrived at the headquarters, he carefully set Brody down.
‘No, what’s the point of putting me down gently now?’
Brody, who had set foot on the ground, couldn’t stand and collapsed on the spot.
She was worried about whether to worry about her tingling, ringing head or her nauseated stomach.
However, her stomach soon went on strike, and Brody resolved her dilemma.
She vomited out the sweet potatoes she had eaten that day.
The ice wall Duke was flustered and patted Brody’s back.
But he failed to control his strength, and the frail Brody’s body staggered at his touch, causing the Duke to become even more flustered.
‘You give the disease and the cure.’
Brody looked at the Duke with resentful eyes, unknowingly. Tears welled up in her eyes as she was vomiting.
“Call Mrs. Murphy!”
The Duke, sweating profusely, looked at his aide, who grinned and nodded before going outside.
Soon a robust, older woman came in. She seemed to be one of those who had washed prisoner Brody yesterday.
With her support, Brody got up and was laid down on a bed after being hastily washed with a wet towel.
The bed was in the Duke’s headquarters.
‘What, it seems you’re not going to kill me. Then it’s right to think you need me and caught me.’
However, one way or another, Brody didn’t have the strength to move a finger.
‘If you’re going to take me to the execution ground to kill me today, drag me or carry me in a palanquin, do as you like, I can’t walk a step!’ With that thought, Brody closed her eyes.
She was experiencing what it meant to be tired to death.
[This is a time separator.]It happened this morning.
That is, after Brody had escaped, and the Duke, ‘Aidan Mason,’ had woken up from a deep sleep.
“Where is the woman?”
Only then did the Duke realize that last night’s incident was not a dream at the question from his aide.
“Did she escape?”
“What? Escape? But the guard in front of the headquarters never left his post!”
“Wasn’t it here? Either last night was a dream, or someone didn’t steal it.”
“Heh, Your Highness, who is usually alert, didn’t notice the woman escaping? What on earth happened yesterday?”
The aide asked with a puzzled voice.
Firstly, the duke’s suspicion that ‘someone stole it’ was rejected in the aide’s mind.
After all, the usual Duke, the next morning, sent out the captive woman from the previous night as is.
If he was going to lust after and prey on a woman, that was the time to do it; there was no reason to steal her away with difficulty.
So, the aide thought the woman had escaped, and was even more surprised by the fact that the Duke did not know about it.
Besides, he had felt a strange discomfort from the moment he entered the barracks and faced the Duke.
While pondering what that could be, suddenly, the Duke’s mumbling voice reached his ears.
“She’s gone.”
“What?”
“Can you believe it, River? The headache is gone.”
The aide’s eyes widened at the unexpected words from the Duke’s mouth.
Looking closely, the Duke’s forehead, which always had deep wrinkles due to headaches, seemed relaxed.
It was a look he had never seen before, and the aide mentally slapped his forehead, realizing this was the identity of the strange discomfort.
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:
