〈The Duke may be handsome, but what’s the use if he’s so cold? Thankfully, Sir Daniel is kind and warm.〉
“Your Grace?”
His desire to ask vanished.
“Never mind, it’s nothing.”
“Do you have an errand for me?”
“I thought I did, but forget it. Just go.”
It wasn’t because he didn’t like seeing Daniel’s gentle eyes, devoid of ambition. He didn’t want to ask another man for advice on buying a gift for his wife.
‘Oh, Sir Daniel picked this gift for me? Of course, the Duke paid for it, but Sir Daniel chose it with me in mind! How delightful!’
Anette wouldn’t say that, right?
Yet, even the mere imagination was irritating.
Come to think of it, Daniel had always accompanied him to the South.
〈Lady Anette seems like a wonderful person.〉
And it was Daniel who had first opened up to Anette when Darius was still wary of her.
‘Ah, when I first saw the Duke, he wore a mask and I couldn’t see his face or recognize his voice. But Sir Daniel was so kind then. I wish he had been my husband instead of the Duke.’
If Anette ever had such a thought…
“Actually, I’ve always thought Lady Anette was assertive, and she proved it again today. She didn’t hesitate to voice her opinion beside Your Grace. She seemed very confident.”
Unaware he was fanning the flames, Daniel praised Anette.
“Daniel, you seem to be paying quite a lot of attention to the Duchess.”
“She is the Duchess, after all.”
“How long have you known her to report every little thing she does well to me?”
Darius sounded displeased.
“I apologize.”
Daniel apologized without really knowing what he did wrong, a sad habit of a subordinate.
“Don’t get too attached to her. She is…”
You’re my knight, and Anette is my wife. It felt weird to say it outright, so Darius phrased it differently.
“As you said, she’s a lady of the Posche family. If you’ve sworn loyalty to me as a knight, don’t let your guard down. What would you do if you let your guard down before me?”
Darius’s voice was tinged with irritation.
The thought of a knight in the castle presenting flowers and honors to a lady was something Darius had no intention of tolerating. Such behavior was better suited to the ladies who admired Daniel.
‘Yes, my bad mood right now is because Daniel, who had warned me to be cautious of the South before the wedding, is now going back on his words.’
Darius rationalized to himself, nodding his head. Somehow, Daniel’s presence around Anette had been irking him.
Having identified the reason for his persistent discomfort, Darius’s mood lightened significantly.
As Darius was calming himself and finding peace of mind,
Swoosh.
A trembling hand quietly closed the door that had been opened just a crack, making sure no one noticed.
‘What’s going on here?’
Anette had returned at the divine moment when Darius was about to criticize her.
“The walk took longer than I expected. Nothing happened, right?”
“Nothing at all. Just that if you hadn’t returned a little later, I would have sent out the knights to search every corner of the castle.”
“Interesting joke.”
I smiled at Darius and Sir Daniel, pretending I hadn’t heard anything. Sir Daniel, unlike before, couldn’t bring himself to meet my eyes.
“Huhuhu.”
That scoundrel.
I knew it since you found it uncomfortable to share a bed with me.
Pretending to uphold the Duchess’s authority, you drag me to work with you in the morning.
What? ‘Don’t be deceived by appearances and suspect Anette’?
I didn’t believe it either. Just another man of the heroine!
It seems even a slight deviation from the original story doesn’t change my fate as a disparaged extra.
In this novel’s character relationship chart, Darius and I might still be marked as adversaries.
‘Hmph, Hmph. No need for such sneaky talk behind my back; I’ll leave on my own when the time comes.’
With no one to trust, I must prepare for divorce on my own.
“Anette, your hands look cold.”
Darius glanced at Sir Daniel and then suddenly extended his hand towards me. What, is he offering gloves?
“No? I’m not cold at all. Totally fine.”
‘Trying to be nice because you badmouthed me while I was away.’
I bluntly pulled my hand back, clearly showing my annoyance.
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:
