I tried to casually answer, but my tongue was stiff, and I couldn’t speak. The paralysis seemed to persist.
As I rolled my eyes up and down, Ascan also seemed to understand my current condition.
Sitting on the opposite side of the carriage, Carlton, in a deeply sunk voice, said as if apologizing, “I’m sorry. It seems like you woke up because of me.”
I wanted to reassure Carlton that it was okay, but I couldn’t speak.
In that brief moment of silence, Zen opened his mouth, looking at me.
“The young lady should probably know the current situation. The deputy commander of the Royal Guard has blocked the passage to the Arwen Empire. All movements, including sea routes, are prohibited.”
What?
I looked at Ascan with a surprised expression.
Ascan and Bill were practically brothers. Knowing how close they were in the novel, the betrayal was unbelievable.
Ascan’s expression was dark too. He didn’t say anything significant, but you could sense the complexity of his feelings.
Carlton added, “Sometimes, the one you know the best becomes the most formidable opponent when they turn against you, deputy commander. There’s really no way when the deputy commander takes action.”
Ascan remained lost in thought, clenching his fist silently. I also wanted to come up with some ideas, but the inability to speak made me frustrated.
The somber atmosphere lingered.
Zen, unable to endure it any longer, spoke in a subdued voice.
“If we delay like this, we might not be able to escape from the Kalua Empire. The reinforcements at the border are increasing, so it’s better to break through sooner.”
Carlton, as if objecting strongly, shook his head and replied, “It’s not possible. Moving rashly might lead to capture. The deputy commander is a smart person. Moreover, he is keenly observing our means of transportation.”
He used to say that turning an ally into an enemy was scarier. If it were Bill, he could plan to capture Ascan more meticulously than anyone else.
Ascan, who had maintained silence until now, finally spoke.
“… If Bill has made thorough preparations, it’s impossible to go to the Arwen Empire.”
Zen frowned, as if troubled. In a situation where time couldn’t be wasted, and the escape route was blocked, frustration was inevitable.
“Then, what should we do? It’s risky to stay in the Kalua Empire like this.”
There was bound to be a tail someday. Defying the Emperor’s command and hiding in the Kalua Empire had its limits.
Ascan, slowly stroking his chin, spoke in a serious tone.
“Let’s go somewhere other than the Arwen Empire.”
Somewhere else?
Suddenly, a country came to mind.
The empire with the worst relationship with the Kalua Empire. It might not protect us like the Arwen Empire, but it would be a place untouched by Helsion’s influence.
As if Ascan and I were on the same page, he spoke slowly.
“It’s better to go to the Lagent Empire.”
Another place?
In my mind, a certain country came to mind.
The Lagent Empire, the place where soldiers were sent ten years ago to kidnap me and steal the magical stone. It was the home country of Deckain, and it seemed to be the ideal place untouched by Helsion’s influence.
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.
