She wanted to wear it on the day of the wedding. She didn’t want to feel the excitement of that day in advance.
“Alright. Then, is there anything else you’d like to modify a bit?”
“No. This is perfect as it is now.”
The sheep supervisor, with a lovely dimpled smile, disappeared with the assistants and the dress.
The remaining matters regarding the engagement were explained by the internal palace management personnel who came.
She was a young woman who appeared to be in her mid to late twenties.
“For the bouquet, what kind of flowers would you like?”
“Anything is fine.”
Liz said.
“Then, may I recommend one? How about tulips?”
It felt fresh.
“Come to think of it, Hercesis’s mother also liked tulips.”
“Sure.”
“And about the venue.”
After flipping through the notebook, the management explained.
“According to the astrologer, there will be a lunar eclipse, which occurs once every three hundred years, on the day of the engagement ceremony.”
A lunar eclipse… It felt vaguely familiar from the original work.
“According to superstition, couples who watch a lunar eclipse together will have a hundred years of happiness, and a child born between them will live long. To commemorate this rare sight, we are considering changing the wedding venue from the main hall to the royal garden… What do you think, Ariste-nim?”
‘A lunar eclipse won’t happen. It’s all nonsense.’
Liz wanted to say.
Meteor showers were also predicted to happen but didn’t. There was no guarantee that a lunar eclipse would occur just because the author had set it up that way. Fate had changed.
However, an outdoor wedding itself wasn’t a bad idea. Liz had a romance for an outdoor wedding even in her past life.
“It’s a good idea. It will be a good experience for the guests too.”
“Then, we will proceed with that plan. Ariste-nim.”
Watching the management carefully jot down notes, Liz asked.
“How many foreign guests are coming?”
“Unfortunately… they won’t be coming.”
It wasn’t much of a disappointment for Liz, but she still had to ask.
“Why?”
“Well, actually…”
The management spoke with a troubled expression.
“His Majesty decided not to send invitations to foreign guests. Usually, handsome and noble princes or princesses visit events like the engagement, but he dislikes that…”
Liz smirked at the words.
‘He doesn’t seem to be a person with such low self-esteem, why?’
“It might be disappointing for you, but there is an exquisite feast planned. Please look forward to it, Ariste-nim.”
“…”
Liz responded with a smile.
It was better not to say that it wasn’t disappointing at all, considering how burdensome the distinguished guests alone were, let alone welcoming foreign envoys.
‘Besides, there’s no common language in this world, right?’
She couldn’t understand why the author didn’t set a common language, as found in other books. However, Liz was not bothered by such laxity anymore.
“Have you met everyone now?”
Liz asked Rosa right after the meeting with the management.
Now she wanted to go back to her residence and rest.
“One more person is waiting.”
Liz, who was about to get up, paused.
“Who?”
“Prince of the Kalton Kingdom, Your Highness.”
‘Prince?’
Doubt seeped into Liz’s eyes.
‘Hercesis didn’t send an invitation, so why…’
“…”
A purple storm brewed in Liz’s eyes.
It was because the face of the man with platinum hair and sky-blue eyes, smiling brightly, resembled someone she knew too much.
Or to be precise, someone she ‘knew’ from her previous life.
“Prince of the Kalton Kingdom?”
Liz asked, and the man smiled again, speaking incomprehensible words.
“It is an honor to meet you, Your Majesty, the prospective empress.”
Listening to the interpreter of the court official, Liz scrutinized the man.
Upon closer inspection, there were differences, but somehow, he reminded her of someone.
Was it because of the crescent-shaped eyes that curved like a waxing moon whenever he smiled? He might not be a breathtakingly handsome man at first glance, but his warm appearance seemed to invoke favor the more you looked at him.
He was surprisingly similar to Cain’s distinctive aura.
“Thank you for coming from afar.”
Liz spoke, and the man’s court official interpreted once again.
“He says it’s only natural to come since it’s a significant matter to welcome the Empress of the Empire.”
“You don’t have to… ”
It was just a muttered remark, but the court official quickly added in order to interpret.
“He wonders how you knew since Her Majesty did not send an invitation.”
The court official replied directly without the need for an interpreter. It seemed like he received instructions to answer most questions on his own.
“His Highness, despite being a prince, is also a high priest at the Imperial Temple within the Empire. He points to that place, which predicts major events in the Imperial Family. Therefore, there is no way he wouldn’t know.”
“Ah… I see.”
A prince who was also a high priest.
It was an unfamiliar but not entirely alien combination.
Such figures existed in history even in her past life. People who were both princes and monks.
‘Is he also someone hoping to escape from this world?’
Suddenly, the prince spoke in his own language to the court official. In response, the court official placed a package in front of Liz.
“What’s this?”
“It’s herbal extract.”
“Herbal extract?”
“Yes, it’s a genuine extract made from unique medicinal herbs found only in our Kalton Kingdom. It is sometimes used as an antidote. There is no poison in the world that cannot be detoxified with this herbal extract.”
“Is it really okay to give me something so valuable?”
“Because you are a noble person.”
The court official said. It was unclear whether it was his opinion or the prince’s.
“I will accept it gratefully.”
Liz replied modestly.
Suddenly, fatigue overwhelmed her.
She had said everything she needed to, and she wanted to send them away quickly and take a break.
Due to the lack of sleep last night, her head felt hazy from the morning.
Liz spoke to the prince’s court official.
“Please feel free to relax until the engagement day. If you need anything, please let me know… Can you tell him that?”
The interpreter was listening with a grin, and the man, who had been listening while smiling, rose from his seat.
The next moment, Liz saw that her hand was holding his hand.
He knelt down, and she saw him press his lips on the back of her hand.
‘This… shouldn’t I have obtained permission in advance…’
During the moment of wondering if the etiquette of another country was different, when she looked up, her eyes met with the prince.
He moved his lips and spoke in a voice that only Liz could hear.
“…”
Liz’s eyes widened.
It was the imperial language. He definitely spoke in the imperial language!
‘Originally, it wasn’t supposed to be you.’
…he said.
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:
