Had Rikel not shown up in the middle of the night, she knew exactly how things would have ended.
‘What could it be…’
What was certain was that she didn’t dislike the Count. Neither being with him nor sharing a kiss as they had the night before.
Whether this was a side effect of the medication or she was genuinely attracted to him, she was unsure and confused.
Last night’s sensations resurfaced vividly. The thought of their intense kiss made Lea unwittingly touch her lips.
‘Have I gone mad? Thinking of this while eating…!’
Lea hastily put her hand down. Just then, her eyes met with Aickia’s, who was dining in front of her.
Aickia, who had been observing Lea’s everchanging expressions, looked at her with an odd gaze.
“I plan to visit the National Library this afternoon.”
“The National Library? Why?”
The National Library in the capital was the largest in the Croatea Empire.
It was a nonprofit institution directly operated by the royal palace, housing everything from the most recently published books to ancient texts.
She had already intended to visit to better understand the medication’s side effects.
She had not had the time since arriving in the capital, but today she was free.
“I need to quickly find out about the side effects. I’ll be back soon.”
Staying in this small mansion glued to the Count all day was worse than getting some fresh air outside.
Besides, if she could find a way to solve the side effects, it would be for the best.
“Go ahead.”
The moment Count Heidern granted her permission and put down his spoon, a knock at the mansion door resonated into the dining room.
“Someone seems to be here. I’ll go check.”
Lea was grateful for the unexpected visitor amid the awkward meal. As her face beamed with happiness, the Count smirked, seeming intrigued.
“Is this the residence where Count Heidern is staying?”
“Yes, who might you be?”
As she opened the door to the mansion, an unfamiliar man bowed his head towards Lea.
“I’ve come from the royal palace. Pardon me, but are you Miss Lea, the pharmacist?”
“Yes, I am Lea.”
“Then it seems I’ve come to the right place.”
Surprised for a moment that the stranger knew his name.
Suddenly, Akkia who had approached stood beside Lea and asked the man,
“Who are you?”
“Your Grace. I have come from the palace, sent by Lord Rodrigo.”
The man pulled out a letter sealed with the royal crest from his coat and handed it to the Count.
“Royal decree.”
“……”
“His Majesty orders Count Heidern and Miss Lea to enter the palace immediately.”
.
.
.
At the sudden imperial command, the two were strolling in the palace after leaving their meal unfinished.
“But why would His Majesty call even me?”
“We’ll know when we get there.”
Lea, who had been silently following the servant’s guidance, whispered just loud enough for only Akkia to hear.
“Please wait here for a moment.”
The servant who had stopped walked in and then out again. Just as the two were about to enter following the servant’s guidance,
“Would the pharmacist wait here for a moment? His Majesty wishes to speak alone with His Grace first.”
Hearing the servant’s words, Lea halted. Looking up at the Count, Akkia nodded as if to say that she should.
The servant who guided Akkia to a waiting room returned and approached Lea who was waiting at the door and asked softly,
“It seems that their conversation will take a while. Would you like to take a brief tour of the palace?”
“The palace?”
“Yes. For example, the royal library or anywhere you like.”
Lea pondered for a moment.
She had always wanted to visit the library in the palace, but once she started reading a book, she would have to stay for hours.
Then suddenly, the herb greenhouse crossed her mind.
She had felt regretful for not seeing it properly when she had visited before. This seemed like a good opportunity to look again.
“Could I visit the herb greenhouse instead of the library?”
“The herb greenhouse?”
“Yes. Being a pharmacist, I have a great interest in herbs. I couldn’t see it properly when I visited last time.”
Lea’s unexpected wish to visit the greenhouse seemed to widen the servant’s eyes. Then he nodded towards Lea.
“Let’s go. His Majesty said you could visit wherever you wish. I will guide you.”
“Thank you then……”
Lea smiled slightly at the servant.
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?
