Trapped in the Mad Duke's Snare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 56
“The red eyes that denote the Emperor. The black hair said to be bestowed by the goddess. In this world, there must be only one such person.”
Trashi strode toward the display stand on one side of the audience chamber and picked up the sword on the topmost shelf, slowly dragging his gaze down the blade as if inspecting its edge.
“Mother.”
“If there are two people with red eyes in this empire, is the Crown Prince now being disregarded even by a marquess’s house?”
His dull, crimson eyes—still lingering on the blade—locked straight onto the Empress.
“Do you even know who that woman is, the one you brought in as Duchess?”
The Empress, who couldn’t possibly know, merely gazed at the Crown Prince with an expression of lingering displeasure.
“Adeline.”
Trashi, gripping the sword, marched forward and abruptly lifted the ornamental blade, then plunged it straight down without hesitation.
The red cushion resting atop the crimson velvet sofa was pierced clean through, sending white feathers scattering into the air.
“Adeline Credion.”
A single thrust clearly wasn’t enough to release his fury.
Trashi yanked the blade out again and proceeded to wildly slash at the cushion over and over.
“That woman ignored my proposal and married the Duke instead. Is House Credion now mocking me as well?”
Seeing the cushion reduced to shapeless shreds and the sofa ruined beyond repair, Trashi flung the sword to the floor and collapsed onto the tattered, feather-stuffed sofa.

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~

Becky pointed at the gleaming éclair.
So all should be forgiven for the convenience of third parties? The Duke definitely needs to apologize with words this time!
- Aelthia Chapter 58 — Paragraph 77
Becky spoke gently.
Sending a servant to wait in line and deliver dessert daily is ‘trying hard’ & considered ‘making an effort? How ridiculous.

At the Empress’s quiet words, Larie’s face lit up with joy, and she hurriedly fo
So far Larie sounds a bit pathetic. But you never know what some of the characters are capable of. Is she already engaged to the crown prince? Probably not or she would be flaunting it.

How shameless of her—can’t she see that he is avoiding her and is married?
It wouldn’t surprise me if the crown prince stabs the empress some day.
Wow, I thought these two had made progress. I’m a bit surprised by the Duke’s reaction but he has been ill and chronic illness can affect your thought process.
