Then, unexpectedly, Sebastian, the butler, mentioned something surprising.
“The master is planning to adopt a young lady. She will be coming with them today.”
“A young lady? Adoption?”
“Yes. The young master will be having a younger sister.”
A younger sister?
It was certainly sudden news, but Lucas was thrilled. Having only an older brother and sister, he had always wanted a younger sibling. And now, it was happening!
A few days later, his father and brother returned with a small and adorable girl.
The girl had an overall light coloration. Her hair was like pink cotton candy, and her eyes were the color of the spring sky.
Her skin was so fair it seemed like she had never been exposed to sunlight. In stark contrast to the well-tanned members of the Adrian family who trained in swordsmanship under the harsh sun.
Though she seemed undernourished and frail, with the right care, she would be as pretty as a doll.
This was Rosette Adrian, now asleep before him.
‘How did such a beautiful child become my sister?’
Truthfully, Lucas had hoped for a sibling he could play and run around with.
But Rosette was frail and timid. She wasn’t the ideal playmate he had in mind.
Still, Lucas didn’t mind. So what if she lacked physical strength? They could build it over time!
Watching the doll-like Rosette, Lucas spoke up again.
“Wake up, wake up!”
Finally, Rosette rubbed her eyes and opened them, revealing her beautiful sky-blue irises.
Lucas grinned and exclaimed.
“Time for morning practice!”
When Rosette received the wooden sword from Lucas, she had promised to learn swordsmanship. It seemed fitting to learn basic sword skills as a member of the Adrian family.
However, due to her physical limitations, she had been delaying learning swordsmanship.
Today, finally, she was about to start her training. Rosette was excited, though she didn’t show it.
But it didn’t take long for her to regret her decision.
“Alright, let’s start with building basic stamina. Run three laps around the training ground!”
Lucas, who had arrived at dawn, took the barely awake Rosette to the training ground. This was his idea of keeping their promise for morning practice.
As if that wasn’t enough, he took it upon himself to be Rosette’s swordsmanship instructor.
“Aren’t you going to start?”
“Mmm.”
Wearing Isabelle’s training clothes, Rosette started walking to the training ground, urged on by Lucas. Instantly, the knights at the training ground turned their attention to her, and murmurs began.
“Is that her…?”
“I thought she wasn’t learning swordsmanship…”
“Isn’t she too young to start training in swordsmanship?”
The knights looked at her curiously, yet affectionately, as she strolled, swinging her arms energetically.
The members of the Adrian family were born to practice swordsmanship. They were naturally larger and stronger than their peers.
This was true for all the Adrian siblings, including Rosette. They had energetically roamed the training ground when they first began learning swordsmanship.
Even Isabelle, being a girl, quickly developed impressive sword skills, boasting almost adult-like stamina.
Normally, ladies served by knights were to be protected, but Isabelle was the opposite. She was a respected superior, worthy of loyalty and following.
Perhaps that’s why the knights quickly became fond of Rosette, the youngest lady, who seemed so in need of their protection.
However, to Lucas, Rosette’s cuteness didn’t seem to matter. He followed her, urging her to speed up.
“Come on, too slow, too slow. Is that walking or running? Pick up the pace.”
The knights were internally frantic, thinking, ‘Oh, young master! The youngest lady isn’t like Lady Isabelle! How can she run with those legs!’
They even considered volunteering to run in her place.
But Rosette, the focus of their concern, didn’t throw a tantrum. Instead, she gritted her teeth and quickened her pace, though it was still more of a fast walk than a run.
During her walk, Rosette tripped and fell.
“Whoa!”
Gasps escaped from the knights. They were worried that the tiny lady might start crying.
Even Lucas, who had been harsh with her, rushed to help her up.
“Hey, are you okay?”
He checked her knees and then sat in front of her, turning his back to her.
“Come on, get on my back.”
“Huh?”
“We need to see a physician. Hurry up and get on.”
The knights ran over in a panic.
“We’ll do it!”
“Let me take care of the lady!”
Lucas gave them a fierce look. Though he said nothing, his eyes seemed to say, ‘Dare you touch my sister?’
Usually obedient to the knights, Lucas’s glare now was sharp. The knights hesitated, giving Lucas the opportunity to speak again.
“Come on, get on.”
“I’m okay.”
“Don’t cry, just get on.”
“I’m not crying.”
Indeed, Rosette was fine and not crying. Her knee hurt a bit, but it was nothing compared to the beatings she endured under Duke Dallas.
“I can continue.”
She brushed off the sand from her knee and started walking the training ground again.
Lucas watched in disbelief, while the knights murmured about the young lady’s bravery.
She completed three laps around the training ground, receiving silent encouragement from all the knights.
“Well done, squirt.”
Lucas gave her a thumbs up and praised her, but Rosette was out of breath.
Her heart was racing, and her lungs felt squeezed, similar yet different from casting high-level magic.
“I’m thirsty…”
She muttered desperately, and the knights hurriedly brought her water.
The first to arrive was a late-teen knight with auburn hair and noticeable freckles across his nose.
“Thank you…”
As she took the water bottle from him, Rosette paused, staring at him intently. The unnamed knight smiled back.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?”
However, Rosette was unable to respond. She delved into her memories from the past.
‘I recognize that face.’
The knight in her memory was more mature than the one in front of her, but it was undeniably a face she recognized.
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:
