A voice steeped in malice, eyes strangely unfocused. It was a dangerous look that seemed like she could do something reckless at any moment.
For a moment, overwhelmed by Leanne’s atmosphere, I was about to nod my head as if to agree, but I snapped out of it.
I urgently shouted, “H-Hold on, let’s spare just one!”
Just one, not more or less!
This was the second ambush following the one that occurred when I was with Carlotta. Now, I had to find out who was behind this. That way, I could live safely even after detaching from Perdian Castle.
While it might not be the same person as the mastermind behind the previous attack, it didn’t seem likely. ‘This might actually be an opportunity.’
This time, I had to find out who was behind it and cut them off completely.
There were roughly over thirty enemies, which seemed a bit excessive for just targeting me.
‘What on earth am I?’
In the original work, my role wasn’t significant, and I hadn’t become a target for anyone.
Anyway, I needed to get out of this situation.
However, Leanne’s reaction seemed odd. Narrowing his eyes as if troubled, he muttered softly, “Just one…?”
“Why, is there a problem?”
“I’d rather kill them all; it’s easier.”
Leaving it to Leanne might lead to not only finding out who was behind this but also just slaughtering them all.
I couldn’t afford to be helpless in this situation.
‘I was trying to show off a bit of my hidden power, but I guess I have no choice.’
I could only use my hidden power.
I took out a vial from my bosom and handed it to Leanne.
“Drink this.”
Without asking what it was, Leanne immediately poured the liquid from the vial into his mouth. I was the one who was surprised by his actions.
‘But he should have at least asked what it was before drinking.’
Sometimes, it was difficult to decide how to react when showing such infinite trust.
Of course, it was good that unnecessary conflict was reduced, but…
Confirming that Leanne had consumed all the liquid in the vial, I looked around at the assassins surrounding us.
They were maintaining a readiness posture as if they could attack at any moment. Even just by appearances, it was clear they were skilled.
I marked the one who seemed the most powerful among them.
And[Dash].
Chang! I took out another vial and tossed it towards the assassins. The assassin deflected the vial, but naturally, it hit the ground, spilling the liquid.
The effect was immediate.
“Kraaaah!”
Starting with the assassin closest to the broken vial, they screamed and collapsed one by one like dominoes.
“Indeed, Lady’s poison is the best.”
Since the first attack, I had always carried over ten poisons hidden in my bosom.
It was prepared just in case of a possible attack, and I truly didn’t know how to use them.
“Leanne. Take care of only those who have fallen to the ground.”
Of course, the assassins weren’t going to stay still.
Assassins from the poisoned side exchanged glances and immediately rushed towards each other.
“…I’ll be back.”
Leanne, who briefly looked at me with meaningful eyes for some reason, swiftly began to deal with the assassins.
[Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve seen such a strong human.]Even Greed admired Leanne’s movements.
“If it’s been a while, does that mean you’ve seen him before?”
[Before being sealed.]“Before being sealed[Dash], oh!”
The conversation with Greed couldn’t continue.
While Leanne was dealing with the enemies in front, an assassin took advantage of the opportunity and attacked from behind.
However, Leanne, who noticed the ambush, quickly blocked the attack.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah.”
“I’ll finish this quickly.”
“Thanks for your hard work.”
My words seemed irrelevant as Leanne efficiently dispatched the enemies.
Even though I had used poison to eliminate some assassins, it was only about three people.
The rest were all taken care of by Leanne.
‘He’s truly the mercenary king cherished by the emperor.’
Until now, I hadn’t had many opportunities to witness Leanne’s prowess, but it wasn’t for nothing that he was called the Mercenary King.
When everything was over, the surroundings were like a scene from a battlefield.
Assassin corpses scattered here and there on the deserted forest path. Thankfully, due to Leanne’s neat disposal, there wasn’t much blood.
Leanne wiped the blood off his sword and approached me.
“Do we leave just one of the fallen alive?”
“Well, it’s a bit regrettable…”
Looking at the assassins affected by the poison with eyes filled with lingering regret, I hesitated.
I had rendered them unable to move, and it seemed somewhat wasteful to just dispose of them.
There might be someone among the incapacitated who was talkative…
Unable to decide easily and hesitating, Leanne suggested another method.
“How about transporting them to the capital first and then investigating?”
“Can you move them all?”
“About three.”
Considering the condition of the assassins affected by the poison, there was no need to hesitate.
“Alright, let’s do that.”
As I nodded, Leanne sheathed his sword.
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.
