What’s the hidden agenda? Who is trying to pass on the altar hosting that everyone desires to me?
The fiercely spinning thoughts in my head became entangled in complexity. However, no matter how much I contemplated, the answer did not come. Objectively speaking, there was nothing wrong with hosting the altar.
I purposely provoked Gabe to test him further.
“Dorothea may be upset, so I cannot dare to say I’ll take charge. Oh, by the way… Master Gabe, don’t you keep watch over Dorothea?”
Although I tried to denigrate Gabe’s character, he proved to be a formidable opponent.
“Duke Angelos is by her side, why should I? So, you can’t finish it until the end?”
He stated it as if I was procrastinating what I should do.
Then, even the High Priest joined forces to persuade me.
“If the savior, the protagonist of the Covenant, offers flowers to the deity, can there be a happier occasion? We earnestly request it as representatives of the deity.”
As if to pressure me, the cheers of the people resonated loudly.
“Why not start?”
“What are you doing…!”
A situation that could turn into blame in an instant.
At that moment, a large hand patted down on my head. When I raised my head, I saw the side profile of Duke Ferdia, who was staring straight at me.
“If you don’t want to, don’t do it.”
“Is it really okay?”
“Yes. I might have mentioned it before. If anyone dares to threaten my daughter, no matter who the opponent is, I won’t stand by quietly.”
A declaration as a father willing to support me regardless of the circumstances.
Since recalling memories of my past life, I had never thought of myself as belonging to Ferdia, but at this moment, I felt secure within Ferdia’s fence.
After hearing those words, my determination was set.
It was undoubtedly a trap. However, [dash].
‘If you know it’s a trap, it’s not a trap.’
Looking up at Gabe, I asked, “Can I do it even though I’m a bastard who can’t use powers?”
Upon that, the High Priest, with a changed expression, promptly responded.
“Why would you say such a thing? Lady Ferdia is the savior chosen by the deity!”
“Alright. I’ll do it.”
The expressions of the priests brightened with my response. However, Gabe’s expression remained unchanged.
I wondered what kind of scheme it was, curious about how it would unfold.
I signaled to Léon while following the priest who beckoned me to prepare.
It was a signal to keep an eye out since we didn’t know what might happen.
In principle, I should have changed into everything I had to wear, but I wasn’t prepared for that yet.
I put on the ceremonial robe handed to me by the priest and stood in front of the public.
“Wow!”
Cheers erupted to the point where my ears felt stuffy.
After confirming Léon’s position below the stairs, I raised the flower of the World Tree and ascended the stairs.
With each step, the floating divine light intensified.
Finally, I stood at the end of the stairs, in front of the altar. Beyond the altar was the statue of Ishatar, embracing the world.
I raised the vibrant flower of the World Tree on the altar without a single withered spot.
It was the moment right after the offering was completed. The previously white altar began to turn pitch black. That wasn’t all.
“…!”
A strange sensation above my head, then, greed broke the silence.
[Erkala’s aura?!]The space above Ishatar’s statue was torn apart, revealing a pitch-dark abyss. From there, demons began pouring out.
Everything happened in an instant.
Léon, who had been sharply alerting the surroundings, grabbed my waist and jumped under the altar the moment cracks started appearing in the space.
“Kyak!”
“Help me!”
Screams erupted from all directions. Mindless demons turned their eyes to humans, mercilessly attacking them.
The sacred plaza, which was previously filled with solemn rituals, instantly turned into chaos.
“All forces, defend!”
Soldiers under Adenmir’s command started facing the demons.
Léon, who had put me down, checked on my condition.
“Liri, are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
“I will protect you.”
Léon swiftly slashed a flying demon with his foot sword.
It was noticeable that the members of the Four Great Houses with powers took the forefront.
Duke Ferdia drew his sword, Yansi removed her gloves, and even Charlotte, who hadn’t brought a sword, grabbed one lying around.
Gabe Jenaid remained unseen, wherever he had gone.
Duke Crundel and Adenmir also began defeating the demons. However, the demons managed to break through the newly formed defense line and continued their attack.
‘Just blocking won’t be enough. We might be overwhelmed if this continues.’
Even though the people had turned to flee from the plaza, the crowded entrance was already clogged due to a bottleneck.
At that moment, one of Ferdia’s knights rushed towards me.
“His Grace sent me. You should avoid this place, Miss.”
“Avoid it?”
“It’s dangerous!”
I knew that I, powerless, would be of no help by being here. But above all…
“It’s a curse! The gods are angry!”
“Darn! What a mess…”
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:
