To You Whom I Don’t Love That Much (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 031
31.
Wow.
Rosetta excitedly darted back and forth across the deck. Pirate ships were mostly cutters rigged with fore-and-aft sails, designed for speed, so their hulls were generally smaller than galleons. She had only ever seen three-decked warships from afar, crewed by navy personnel—she’d never imagined actually boarding one, so everything felt astonishingly novel.
Rosetta scrutinized various parts of the hull with the hungry gaze of someone staring at a succulent whale dripping with oil. It was truly colossal beyond imagination, and every single detail was unnecessarily of the finest quality.
All sixty cannons had their muzzles painted gold, and the white sails were embroidered with the Conchester Trading Company’s insignia in blue thread. Even the ram at the prow seemed made of real gold, flashing dazzlingly every time it caught the light. Honestly, who knew—maybe even the toilet in the captain’s quarters was made of gold.
The masts carved with delicate wave patterns, mermaids so lifelike they seemed ready to move, the deck made of the finest varnished ashwood, smooth as glass… Rosetta didn’t bother hiding her disdain. A single graze from a cannonball could wipe out millions in value in an instant.
Such a vessel was utterly impractical for sailing—fine as a decoration, but hopeless for actual navigation. Without naval escort, it would be stripped to the bone by pirates in under five hours. Yet the Conchester trade representative, a veteran of the Eastern Sea routes, wouldn’t have commissioned this without considering such basics… This cutter must have been built from the start as a luxurious pleasure cruiser.
Sixty cannons… and still a pleasure cruiser? Rosetta trembled faintly from fingertip to fingertip, letting out a soft moan of regret. If only she could take five of those cannons—no, even three—they’d serve Toulon’s ship perfectly. She clicked her tongue wistfully.
“Lea.”
Cardier called out to her, having followed her all the way to the stern. Rosetta realized she had wandered far from the main deck where the banquet was being held, carried away by her excitement. Cardier offered his hand with a faint, teasing smile.
“This way, if you want to attend the onboard banquet.”
Reality crashed down like a cold bucket of water. Even though she was on a river where the tang of the sea was barely detectable, she had forgotten her situation and let herself drift into nostalgic reverie, as if she were back in the open waters of the Eastern Sea. Suddenly, every piece of clothing she wore felt awkward and strangely embarrassing. Rosetta paled and grasped Cardier’s hand. He was the only link between her world and this mad one.
In the brief time they had wandered the deck, the atmosphere of the banquet had warmed considerably. To the elegant music of string instruments, guests burst into giggles and danced with abandon. Apparently, a full round of champagne had circulated during their absence. The mood was noticeably more relaxed than the formal banquets hosted by the imperial court.
“Oh.”
Rosetta gasped, spotting the Eldest Son of the Dreuire Family waving a champagne flute toward her from a distance. Despite Cardier’s persistent interference, this was the man who had sent her flowers and letters every single day—so lavishly it seemed he had bought out nearly every florist in the capital.
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?
