Earlier, did you mention pretending to be fake lovers? Honestly, I can’t deny that I considered it a bit… But that’s not my style. I just want to clarify that misunderstanding. Whether I do it or not, you will find out the truth soon anyway. Rather than becoming a dramatic picture at an unexpected timing, I intend to inform you so that it doesn’t escalate. I am someone who acts for Arthur, but personally, I hope Lady also remains unharmed and happy. Arthur is the most remarkable person I know, but I think Lady would be happier somewhere other than by his side.
To Lady, I think she would be happier. Lady has a family to protect, and she isn’t prepared for life-threatening battles. Please protect her. As you guessed, Arthur is shaken by that person, but if you can make her happy, eventually, he will send her back safely. If you truly care for her, don’t give up. I will help.
Tap, tap.
Sparks flew from the fireplace.
A chilly breeze filled the dark room, tinted with a red glow emanating from the fireplace and candlesticks.
Though unnecessary lighting for him,
Arthur quietly moved the candles, transferring the flames to the new ones every moment.
Whizz…
The autumn night air was crisp.
Soon, it felt like rain was coming; the humid night wind tapped on the window.
Even though it was closed, the fresh breeze seeped in through the window.
Reyna huddled as if feeling cold in her sleep.
Arthur approached, careful not to wake her, and covered her with a blanket after brushing aside the curtains hanging on the window.
“….”
Reyna quietly woke up.
The sky was still dark.
The fireplace was burning in the darkness.
A reflection of the firelight flickered on Arthur’s gray eyes and black hair.
“….”
“….”
When their eyes met, he sent her a smile.
He was sitting within arm’s reach.
Reyna quietly spoke as she looked into his eyes.
“…It’s midnight.”
Arthur smiled, putting down the book he had been holding.
“Are you tired? You slept for a long time.”
“Did you wait?”
Arthur answered.
“Yeah. As much as you waited, I felt like I should wait too.”
Reyna smirked softly.
“Thank you. But it’s a waste of time… Next time, please wake me up if I’m sleeping.”
Arthur glanced to the side with a smile.
“Alright. I’ll wake you up next time. As long as you don’t look too tired.”
Reyna looked up at him with a smile.
Arthur ran his fingers through her hair.
Reyna received his touch comfortably, tossing and turning.
“Did you wait for me?”
Reyna laughed.
“Yes, a little.”
So, next time, if you come late or can’t come in. Please let me know that. Okay?
Got it.
Reyna looked at him secretly and whispered softly.
“You’re really handsome.”
“….”
Arthur looked at her quietly.
“Oh, sorry. I guess I’m not fully awake yet.”
Perhaps the darkness covered her face.
Reyna seemed quite successful in pretending to be nonchalant.
But Arthur felt her throat and ears warming as she fake-coughed slightly.
“When you’re with me, why don’t you dress up like this?”
“….”
The sensation of fingers touching the scalp felt good. Reyna closed her eyes. Perhaps due to having laid everything bare, a very honest answer came out quite easily.
“It might seem like I’m being excessively whimsical.”
Arthur gently undid her hair while speaking calmly.
“I’ve never seen you dress up like this before, so I thought you didn’t like it much.”
Reyna closed her eyes and responded, feeling his touch.
“I don’t dislike dressing up. It’s just not me.”
Arthur took a brief pause and asked.
“Why did you dress up so beautifully today?”
Reyna answered slowly.
“Brody did it today. I didn’t ask him to… he just thought I’d feel better if I dressed up.”
The maid?
Yes, it seems I looked a bit gloomy.
He thought dressing up would make me feel better. He’s a kind friend.
“…Was I the reason you were feeling down because I didn’t come?”
“…”
After a moment of silence, Reyna spoke quietly.
“…It was true, but… it wasn’t because I had any other expectations.”
“…”
“Just because we couldn’t properly say goodbye, and it felt like a clumsy parting. It’s foolish, isn’t it?”
Then Reyna, for some reason, talked at length about how diligently Brody had dressed her up.
“I see.”
Arthur’s voice echoed in the room.
“…Why did you dress up so beautifully?”
Reyna, with her eyes closed, smiled slightly.
“…I won’t dress up from now on.”
Arthur said matter-of-factly.
“No. Dress up. Make yourself as beautiful as you want.”
“…”
“When you meet Taylor Lawson. Dress up and meet him.”
“…”
Reyna opened her eyes.
Arthur’s face was not clearly visible.
His voice continued.
“Also, when you’re with me. Dress up as beautifully as you want.”
“…”
The candles burned silently.
“I hope you don’t think it’s too excessive.”
Somehow, I felt thirsty.
Reyna quietly looked away from him and stared at the burning candles.
His voice continued.
“Should I get you a new dress? Your own. Winter is coming soon.”
Tap. Tap.
The sound of crackling firewood was quiet.
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~
