Certainly! Here’s the translated passage:
“……Shall I help you?”
“Yes, please bring some bags of flour from the basement.”
“Other than that.”
“Huh?”
Christine’s gaze penetrated so deeply that Adel was taken aback.
At times like this, it was as if he could read her mind. As if he knew what she feared.
“No. Just bring the flour, okay?”
Fortunately, Christine looked away first.
“Yes, it’s a bit heavy for weak little me to carry.”
“Ha, as if.”
“Who said I’m nothing but bones?”
“Alright. I’ll bring it.”
Easily conceding, Christine went down to the basement.
“They used to call her the Basement Mistress in Oswald’s place.”
A story she’d heard from Zimmer a little earlier came to mind.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“The Basement Mistress?”
“Yes, though she married the Count of Oswald, the mistress’s bedroom was in the basement.”
“The basement? Was it the Count’s order?”
“No. The Count was immobile, and used potent medicine to lessen his pain, so he wasn’t fully conscious. The mistress would take care of his meals and attend to him when he was aware. Otherwise, she lived with the maids.”
“Did the other maids also live in the basement?”
“That’s…… only the mistress.”
“Why?”
“Probably to suppress any rebellion. To keep her from acting like the mistress of the house.”
I knew it.
Adel, the daughter of the bread shop in the mining village.
She became the mistress of a noble house at just eighteen.
Most of the Count’s children were older than her.
To the arrogant nobles, she was someone to be used and discarded.
“So, they killed the Count and falsely accused her?”
“It’s not certain. It’s true that Stone and the Count fought that day, but the mistress didn’t proclaim her innocence either.”
“She must have been threatened.”
“But Stone is now a diplomat in the Kingdom of Orvis. He could have defended himself at any time, but he remains silent, so……”
“So she killed the Count?”
Christine’s voice was unusually intense.
“No! But if the mistress doesn’t speak up, we’ll never know who did it.”
It was incomprehensible.
Even considering the marriage to the old Count, why had Adel endured such treatment? And why did she remain silent?
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]
“I’m relieved. I was worried about how I’d carry this up.”
Adel smiled brightly as Christine set down the bags of flour in the kitchen.
After she had been trembling just a moment ago.
“Anything else I can help with?”
“You, the Hero of Calame, would help me in the kitchen?”
“The Hero of Calame has to eat too, you know.”
“You’re not going to say you’re hungry again, are you……”
Sitting on the countertop, Christine chuckled and nodded.
“Why am I always hungry when I see you?”
“Do I look like food to you?”
“Yes, you look quite tasty.”
With a look like he would eat her up right then,
Stretch.
“Uh, what are you doing!”
Adel had pulled on Christine’s cheeks.
“If you keep making those lewd faces, I’ll kick you out of my house.”
Adel firmly warned him and let go of his cheeks.
“Are you crazy?”
Christine touched his tender cheeks angrily, but Adel laughed cheerfully.
“Don’t be angry. Just wait, and I’ll make pancakes. They’re quick.”
“Ha, just pancakes……!”
But just the sight of Adel putting on her white apron and getting ready to cook made him incredibly hungry.
“If it’s bad, I really might eat you.”
“Oh, scary. Can you crack the eggs first? Then open the left cupboard and get the butter. And the vanilla essence and maple syrup on top of it.”
“One thing at a time, please?”
As he scowled and raised his eyebrows,
“I’m sorry, but can I ask for just one more thing?”
Adel carefully held up a finger, smiling sweetly.
“No!”
“Come on, you can do a little more, right?”
“Fine, just one more thing.”
Christine was still scowling, but Adel didn’t seem to care. Especially considering what she was asking.
“My apron pocket has a hair tie in it. Can you tie my hair up?”
“To tie your hair…… you want me to do that?”
He had cut hair before, but never tied it up.
Adel smiled playfully and raised both her hands.
“My hands are covered in flour. Just tie it loosely. Just make sure no hair gets into the dough.”
“Why do I have to do this …”
Christine grumbled but pulled a hair tie from her apron pocket.
A faded green ribbon hair tie.
He didn’t know much about women’s hair ties, but it seemed there would be no woman who would tie such a wornout ribbon in her hair.
“How long do you have to use it to make it like this? It would break if you pull it.”
“About 10 years?”
Christine’s hand paused as he gathered Adel’s hair.
“Throw it away and buy a new one.”
“It’s still usable.”
“Not throwing things away is also an illness.”
“No, it’s precious because it’s worn.”
“Don’t attach meaning to trash and become obsessed.”
“Oh my, how can you sound just like Tanya?”
“It’s a good thing the maid is smart.”
“She calls me an obsessed woman. She says I can’t throw away even an old thing. I think I do have that tendency.”
Adel laughed playfully, chuckling.
“What about old people?”
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:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
