The Regressed Empress Tames the Hunting Dog (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 6
Bellia’s pupils trembled faintly.
This was clearly a statement laden with hidden meaning.
“Just now, what did you say…?”
A glint sparkled in the blue eyes that met hers.
“You’ve done something quite clever—about that letter.”
He had received the letter. Moreover, he had realized its sender was her.
The moment Bellia grasped this fact, her heart pounded loudly in her chest.
It wasn’t trembling from tension or fear.
This was unmistakable exhilaration.
The elation of having finally fastened the first button of her revenge gripped Bellia’s heart fiercely.
Unable to hide her flushed cheeks, Bellia bit her lip.
“Prince Kalid…”
She absolutely had to coax him skillfully onto her side.
His ability was already proven by the mere fact he had reached this far.
Thus, what she needed now was—
A place where she could speak candidly with him alone, away from that bothersome Raoul.
“How rude, Kalid.”
At that moment, Raoul, who had been watching Kalid whisper something into Bellia’s ear, approached with a deep frown, swiftly pulling Kalid’s hand away from her with a firm grip.
“I’ll ask once more—what business do you have here?”
Raoul stepped in front of Bellia, blocking her from Kalid’s view.
The ever-composed man now displayed a subtly sharp demeanor.
‘Ah?’
In that fleeting instant, Bellia became certain she had chosen Prince Kalid correctly. She didn’t know the exact reason, but it was clear he harbored some discomfort toward the Second Prince.
Seeing Raoul react far more sensitively than usual, it wasn’t just her who found it odd—Kalid also twisted his lips into an amused smirk.
Somehow, it felt as though he could easily turn Raoul’s insides upside down.
“A guy like you, who usually wanders casinos gambling—your claim that you just happened to come all the way here for no reason doesn’t hold water.”
“Were you always this interested in what I do?”
“Kalid.”
Raoul sighed softly and murmured his brother’s name, weary of his mocking tone.
Yes. That voice, that manner of speech.
He was a man who had grown up his entire life from a position where it would be perfectly natural to place everything beneath him.
Thus, his call wasn’t born of resentment or injustice—it was, in a way, almost pure: sheer incomprehension at anything daring to oppose him.
Bellia realized he was wary of the Second Prince, yet still didn’t consider him an equal. Therefore, while he kept his guard up, inwardly, he looked down on him.
‘That’s precisely why choosing the Second Prince was the right move.’
When he grew complacent, satisfied with his own standing—
That would be the moment she’d sink her teeth into his throat.
Bellia smiled faintly as she watched Raoul’s back, blocking her view.
“Hmm. I originally just meant to take a look and leave… But now that I’ve seen your face, Brother, how could I possibly just go? Since I’ve come this far, I ought to visit the royal palace and pay my respects to the King of Ronica.”
Kalid swept an exaggerated glance around before speaking.
“And running into Princess Bellia so coincidentally—well, I suppose that’s fate.”
At Kalid’s words, delivered with a deep smile, Bellia’s eyes gleamed.
His entering the royal palace meant she could create an opportunity to speak with him alone, free from Raoul’s interference—after all, Raoul couldn’t possibly obstruct a private meeting between the princess and a guest within Ronica’s royal palace.
It was quite a clever plan.
So Bellia quickly spoke up before Raoul could object to his palace visit.
“I hadn’t realized earlier—Your Highness is Prince Kalid, the Second Prince of the Empire. The royal palace of Ronica Kingdom has always been friendly toward the Empire. Naturally, Your Highness’s visit is no exception.”
Since they hadn’t formally met within the palace grounds, Bellia gave her informal permission by lightly grasping her skirt—a clear opportunity.
“You and I seem to understand each other quite well, Princess.”
Like recognizes like.
Kalid had already suspected the Bellia who sent that letter wasn’t ordinary.
Even now, hadn’t she swiftly steered the conversation exactly where she wanted it?
“Kalid. If you’re planning to stir up trouble, go back quietly. This isn’t the Empire.”
Raoul tossed out the words, clearly displeased.
“Hey, Brother. How can you know whether I’ll cause trouble or behave myself? Hm?”
Kalid tilted his waist slightly to look past Raoul, who was desperately trying to hide Bellia, and spoke with theatrical flair.
“Besides, such a stunningly beautiful princess has just welcomed my visit—how could I possibly refuse? Right, Brother?”
At his words, Raoul, unable to openly contradict him in front of Bellia, clenched his teeth and turned away.
[This is the timeline separator]Bellia postponed meeting Derek for another time and returned to the royal palace with First Prince Raoul and Second Prince Kalid.
Though she hadn’t achieved her original goal, it wasn’t entirely without gain.
She had confirmed Derek was at the tavern, and she’d also met the Second Prince, whose reactions she’d been observing.
It felt as though she held a useful card in each hand.
“Haha. Welcome to Ronica.”
The King of Ronica was extremely flustered upon suddenly encountering the Second Prince.
Having two imperial princes visit the kingdom simultaneously was a matter that could cause far greater external repercussions than one might expect.
Especially since the crown prince hadn’t yet been decided, and the two were rivals vying for the throne.
Moreover, Ronica was currently conducting a joint investigation of the gold mine with the Empire—any misstep might make it appear as though Ronica had taken sides in their power struggle.
For these reasons, he couldn’t simply welcome the Second Prince’s unexpected visit.
“We also need time to prepare—could you grant us a little? What do you think?”
After deep consideration, the king decided to treat today’s visit not as an official one by the Second Prince, but as a casual visit by Bellia’s acquaintance, and set a formal date for his official visit to the Kingdom of Ronica.
Once Kalid’s entire retinue arrived in the capital, they would hold a grand welcoming ceremony as though today’s meeting had never occurred.
“Very well. Then I shall visit formally on the appointed date.”
Kalid also agreed with the king’s decision.
He’d never intended to stay in the palace this way from the start.
This was merely a ploy to rattle Raoul.
‘Well, I also happened to have matters to discuss with the princess.’
In truth, Kalid hadn’t fully believed the contents of the letter.
It was surprising she knew there was no gold mine, but perhaps it was just a lucky guess. At first, he’d only wanted to find out who’d sent it.
After all, if the letter’s contents were true, the gains would be enormous; even if it were a prank, it would be annoying but not truly harmful.
But the moment he learned the sender was Princess Bellia of the Ronica Kingdom, his mind changed instantly—the weight of the words in that letter grew heavier.
Moreover, the woman Raoul was desperately chasing had secretly contacted him—
And with an unmistakable hidden intent to humiliate Raoul.
‘How amusing.’
Kalid stood with his arms crossed, back to the window, and let out a quiet chuckle.
He was curious about her true intentions.
“Nice to meet you. Let me properly reintroduce myself—I’m Bellia of Ronica.”
Just then, Bellia entered the reception room and greeted him with a bright smile.
“You’ve come.”
Kalid lifted his head slightly to look at her, his expression as icy as the rumors circulating about him—and further marked by the haughtiness typical of royalty.
Between the shadows cast by the evening sun, his gaze flashed as sharp as a blade. The only feature he shared with First Prince Raoul was his piercingly clear blue eyes.
“Kalid Ingott.”
Bellia watched him slowly walk toward her from the window and smiled again.
“Time is precious—let’s get straight to the point.”
Kalid pulled a letter from his chest and tossed it onto the table with a thud.
Since they’d only just met today and had no time for idle pleasantries, it was best to cut directly to the matter. There was no need to waste time.
“This—was it sent by you, Princess?”
Bellia shifted her eyes slightly to glance at the letter, widened them in feigned surprise, and tilted her head as if she knew nothing.
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t even think about playing innocent.”
It was infuriating—he’d left obvious traces, yet she pretended ignorance.
Kalid crossed his arms again and spoke.
“What’s your reason for sending this letter to me?”
At his question, Bellia tugged at the corners of her lips into a smile and stepped closer to him.
One step. Another step.
Despite her small, pale, and seemingly frail frame—
Kalid found himself rather amused as she fearlessly drew nearer.
When Bellia stood close enough for him to reach out and touch her, she lifted her head to meet his gaze.
“Yes. I sent it.”
Bellia admitted it cheerfully.
“But before you ask why, you must first give me your answer to the letter I sent.”
Her answer to his request for help in exchange for revealing the gold mine’s location.
“Princess. Isn’t the fact that I came all this way answer enough? So stop testing me and just speak your mind.”
Kalid gave a light shrug.
The mere fact she’d dared summon an imperial prince all the way here was reason enough to acknowledge her.
But his patience ended here.
He needed to confirm how she’d learned what was written in that letter.
‘Of all people…’
This wasn’t a trivial matter the Princess of Ronica would toss out as a joke.
Then how could a woman who’d supposedly stayed only within the palace know there was no gold mine?
Kalid let out a hollow sigh and spoke.
“Where did you get that information?”
Her attitude made it clear she definitely knew something.
But Bellia wasn’t so easily swayed.
Instead, she adopted an even more composed demeanor, as if she had a powerful ally backing her.
“I can’t just tell you that so easily.”
He fell silent, stroking his chin as though lost in thought.
Though he offered no reply, Bellia spoke confidently, as if it didn’t matter.
“I truly know the location of the real gold mine. And the very reason Your Highness braved the trouble to come here is because you suspect that information might hold some truth, isn’t it?”
He would take her hand.
Because—
“Don’t you also want to deal a blow to His Highness the First Prince?”
“What? Hahaha!”
At Bellia’s slyly grinning remark, Kalid burst into loud laughter.
And just as that laughter began to fade—
Kalid asked, genuinely amused,
“What is it you want from me?”
Just as expected.
Bellia’s prediction was correct.
“What I desire is…”
The corners of her lips curled up in an exceptionally cunning smile.
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:
