“It’s a wonder how he endured with that body. Externally it seems fine, but the organs are so damaged that not only full recovery but even alleviating the symptoms is near impossible.”

Dietrich’s face showed emotion for the first time at the councilor’s added words. His tightly closed lips twisted into a faint smile.

By the time the councilor, who had been looking at Seliya, turned to Dietrich, the smile that had lingered on his lips had disappeared without a trace.

“That’s good.”

Dietrich’s muttered words dispersed like fog in the underground dungeon, but the councilor, who had been attentive to Dietrich’s every move, heard them clearly.

“What will you do with this woman?”

Dietrich spat out the words indifferently, not even looking at the councilor.

“People who talk too much tend not to live long.”

“……!”

“You did not come here today. You saw nothing.”

At Dietrich’s words, the councilor repeatedly nodded his head.

“Yes, yes! Today, I wandered the hallways to brew precious herbs imported from the East.”

The councilor barely answered with a trembling voice.

Dietrich silently gestured towards the exit with his chin.

The councilor fled the dungeon as if running away. He paused and looked back, perhaps concerned about Seliya.

But he couldn’t see Seliya. Dietrich, with his arms folded, was watching him, his forehead now tightly knit.

The councilor barely managed to stifle a scream and ran away.

Dietrich, confirming the councilor’s departure, approached Seliya. He looked down at Seliya, who was breathing as thin as a thread, as if she were an alien object.

The corner of his mouth twisted as he looked at Seliya.

“Angel of Brillion.”

Dietrich muttered to himself. His large hand touched the edge of Seliya’s neck.

Though people clamored about this woman being the Angel of Brillion or whatever, Dietrich had no interest in such things.

He would kill her if he strangled her now.

Her great reputation, her life, all would be obliterated with a small gesture of his hand.

But Dietrich withdrew his hand, changing his mind. The woman, though clearly conscious, had not thought to open her eyes.

“Get up.”

At his icy, dry voice, Seliya’s closed eyelids slowly opened. Eyes that resembled a fresh forest filled Dietrich’s view entirely.

Seliya also looked at Dietrich.

A man with a threatening figure large enough to fill the dungeon was looking at her as if she were a bug.

Seliya sat up and took her place. She straightened her waist and sat upright, staring at Dietrich.
Dietrich felt as though Seliya Brillion looked down on him from above.

Without even reading his thoughts, Seliya smiled softly. Despite her picturelike smile that people could not help but praise, Dietrich’s expression did not change at all.

“Tell me the real reason you killed the Emperor.”

Dietrich immediately got to the point as soon as he saw Seliya.

“Lady Seliya Brillion of House Brillion. Why did you kill the Emperor?”

Seliya observed Dietrich with a serene face as if it was someone else’s affair. Meanwhile, Dietrich appeared calm on the outside, but it was not so on the inside.

“It would be best to speak the truth. Who bribed you?”

“…….”

When Seliya did not answer, Dietrich bent down to meet her eye level.

“Will you talk if tortured?”

Dietrich looked at Seliya’s ankle, as white as snow, as if he would really torture her. Soon after, Seliya’s lips slowly opened.

“……Dietrich.”

As if the woman didn’t know him, a slight crease appeared in Dietrich’s brow.

“Do you know me?”

Seliya smiled faintly and replied.

“There’s no one in the Abelron Empire who doesn’t know your name.”

Even though she was here as a criminal, Seliya spoke without reservation. But it looked so natural that Dietrich felt disconcerted.

Seliya looked at Dietrich like that and sneered.

“If I had known you were the mad dog of the Emperor, I wouldn’t have fainted so disgracefully in front of you.”

Seliya’s lips were drawing a soft curve, but her eyes were not smiling. Deep resentment seeped from her cold eyes.

Dietrich stared at those eyes. Unlike his bright red eyes, the woman’s eyes in front of him had a clear green hue.

Chin raised high, an air of nobility flowed from Seliya, who was unwilling to compromise with him.

How could the daughter of a worthless noble emanate an atmosphere that could only be seen from welleducated royalty?

Dietrich knew very well that people of this type would not give the desired answer, no matter how severe the torture.

How many people could behave like this, possibly facing death? Especially when given a deadline.

Or is it because she has a deadline, death is not feared?

However, what really surprised Dietrich was a single word that Seliya uttered next.

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~
