Meanwhile, Hana and Bazon were walking a few steps apart.
“Shall we decide on roles? I’ll check for danger, and you can pick up branches,” Bazon suggested, his hands clasped behind his head, implying he didn’t hold any special feelings for Hana.
“I’ll check for danger, so you pick them up,” Hana retorted through gritted teeth.
“Alright, then,” Bazon easily agreed, bending down to pick up branches. Despite his compliance, Hana was still displeased and turned her head away.
‘I wanted to be with Fernando, not with this guy.’
Frustrated to the point of almost losing her breath, she tried to control herself when Bazon suddenly spoke.
“Hey, you’re breathing quite heavily.”
“What?”
“Isn’t your breathing too rough?”
“How dare you make such rude remarks so nonchalantly?”
“I’m just saying what I hear…”
Bazon straightened up, trailing off mid-sentence as Hana spoke irritably.
“Say it again.”
“I guess I heard right.”
“What?”
“Over there.”
“Just when you’re trying to change the topic…”
As Bazon gestured, Hana grumbled and turned her head. There, a wild boar was snorting heavily, ready to charge at any moment.
“You were supposed to check for danger.”
Bazon muttered with a distressed look.
“I’ll collect them.”
“Let’s do it together.”
As Fernando bent down first, Etienne joined him, bending over to pick up branches. Just as Fernando was about to stop her, she spoke.
“Fernando, wet branches aren’t good.”
He looked at the branches in her hand.
“Good firewood is dry branches. Wet ones produce a lot of smoke and don’t catch fire easily.”
Fernando blinked in surprise at her explanation.
“How did you know that?”
“I studied, heard about it, and also experienced it…”
Etienne trailed off, finding it difficult to be straightforward.
‘It’s not easy to casually mention my past life.’
After meeting Fernando, those five years were filled with unrequited love for him, so I was careful not to slip up and reveal that.
Every time he talked about his travels to Hana, I pretended not to be interested, but I would occasionally visit the places he mentioned.
Just being in the same places Fernando had been was overwhelming for me, but such feelings were secrets that shouldn’t slip out, even by mistake.
“Should we hurry and pick these up?”
“Shh.”
As Etienne tried to change the topic, Fernando suddenly became serious and scanned the surroundings.
“What’s wrong?”
“I heard a scream.”
“What?”
As Etienne followed Fernando’s gaze and listened closely, she faintly heard the sound of a scream as well.
“It’s coming from over there.”
Etienne dropped the branches she was collecting and turned towards the direction of the sound.
“Etienne. Go back to where the carriage is.”
“But it might be someone from our group.”
“That’s all the more reason to go back. It’s dangerous.”
Fernando grabbed Etienne’s hand and started to walk back the way they came. Etienne had to almost run to keep up with his pace.
“But we need to help.”
Etienne tried to pull her hand away, but it was futile against Fernando’s strong grip.
“You can’t help just by going there.”
“Fernando.”
Fernando didn’t look back at Etienne, just kept walking forward. His indifferent back somehow pained her heart.
Etienne, though she knew it was inappropriate in this situation, couldn’t help but be concerned about Fernando’s apparent indifference.
‘Was he always like this?’
She wondered if Fernando had been like this when the Claire family fell and she was imprisoned. Had he sought safety because it was dangerous?
‘Those nights in prison were so lonely…’
They quickly reached the carriage. Only then did Fernando stop.
He pointed Etienne towards the carriage.
“Wait here. I’ll go and help.”
“…What?”
Etienne was dumbfounded. She had thought they would stay safe together, but Fernando’s declaration to go and rescue those screaming left her stunned.
“I don’t want you to get hurt. But I also don’t like you worrying, so I’ll go. I’ll go and help.”
Fernando released Etienne’s hand and turned away.
“So wait for me.”
Implying he would return safely.
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 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.
