The idea of Sicar, who despised children, having a child on his lap was surreal.
Sicar looked as though he was clueless about what to do with the lightning that had struck over his head.
Seeing this, I couldn’t help but chuckle. I looked at Sicar with hopeful eyes and cheered him on quietly.
There was a bit of satisfaction in seeing Sicar like this, but there was also a subtle hope that if they had physical contact like this, since they still seemed uncomfortable with each other, they might get closer.
The grandmother also seemed to sense this awkward tension between the two as if she were a ghost.
Sicar looked at me, who seemed flustered, glanced at Kian, and then turned to the grandmother and said,
“Well, grandmother. But Kian and I are still…”
The grandmother looked at Sicar sternly, and spoke with a firm tone in her voice,
“Oh dear.”
No matter how stubborn Sicar was, he could not win against the grandmother, the absolute authority of this duchy.
No, it must have been because she was the grandmother he cherished most, his only blood relative, that he had to yield.
Sicar looked at Kian with a grumpy face and tapped on his own knee. It meant for Kian to come up.
“Kian. Come on.”
When the grandmother and I joined in, Kian seemed to have no choice but to walk over to Sicar. Then, the maids picked up Kian and put him on Sicar’s lap.
The moment they both seemed to freeze in tension, I had to clutch my stomach to barely hold back my laughter.
“This is a wonderful sight, isn’t it?”
“Yes, grandmother. I think I’ve never seen a more adorable pair.”
“I think the same. Sicar. From now on, make sure to have Kian sit on your lap for at least 10 minutes a day.”
“Those 10 minutes are precious to me.”
“Nothing will be more valuable than those 10 minutes spent interacting with the child. For 10 minutes, ask Kian about his day and share your own.”
The grandmother was very firm, so Sicar looked at the floor with a soulless face and replied,
“…Yes.”
Kian didn’t seem thrilled either, but if they kept having this time every day as the grandmother said, it felt like it would only be a matter of time before the two of them grew closer.
“Today, because of my treatment, I can’t have a long conversation as a priest is visiting. Instead, let’s have breakfast together tomorrow.”
“Yes, grandmother.”
The Lepfer substitute was too far away to visit frequently. So Sicar sponsored a substantial amount of money to a monastery in Rekador, and the monastery had agreed to send a priest twice a week to treat the grandmother.
As he left the grandmother’s room, Kian seemed worried and asked,
“Is the grandmother sick somewhere?”
“Why? Are you worried about the grandmother?”
“Yes. And I…”
Kian sneaked a peek at Sicar and whispered softly to me,
“I can heal small wounds.”
He’s so sweet. As it stood, Kian could at best heal small scratches.
Even such small abilities were adorable to him, as he wanted to be helpful.
“No need to worry since the priest is coming. Shall we go eat? Aren’t you hungry?”
“Yes… Actually, I was hungry.”
“I thought so…”
“We’ll eat together. I have to teach you table manners as well.”
Sicar clapped his hands happily at us, uttered a phrase that dampened the mood, and walked ahead with a cold gust of wind.
And I had to lie to Kian, who was making a disappointed face.
“Kian. The duke might seem gruff, but he’s a very good person.”
It felt a bit wrong to lie, but since Sicar had made up his mind to get along with Kian, I said it hoping he would eventually become a caring father.
But Kian didn’t seem to believe my words. Perhaps all he saw in Sicar was cold frost.
As soon as we sat down in the dining room, Sicar picked up a napkin and looked at us.
“Follow me from now on. Yura, you too.”
Kian and I nodded our heads at the same time and followed Sicar’s actions exactly.
“This is the water for washing hands. Remember never to drink it, especially you, Yura. No matter how thirsty you are, never drink the water in this dish.”
“I know that too. Why would I drink the water in the dish when there’s water in the cup! …sir.”
At the end, the ‘yo’ was due to Sicar’s fierce glare. Sicar continued his explanation after whispering to Kian to speak politely.
“This fork is for meat, this one for salad. Don’t get confused. You shouldn’t make noise while eating and you should not open your mouth wide. When drinking water, make sure that the gulping sound is not heard. Drink slowly and elegantly. The meal comes in order of appetizer, main dish, and dessert, or you can choose to eat. The meal will be served soon, so follow me and eat in order.”
I know this much too, there are restaurants in my world too. No, this world is based on the rules of the world I lived in.
Soon the meal came out, and Kian and I started eating as Sicar instructed. As Kian watched me eating, Sicar glared fiercely at Kian.
“Kian. Don’t look at Yura, look at me. Yura doesn’t know anything like you.”
“Sicar. Kian still doesn’t know my name.”
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:
