Surprised by the casual tone, Liz said, “Why? Because he’s your favorite family. Would you let such a horrible crime be committed by your beloved family?”
“It’s not like dealing with a two or three-year-old kid. How am I supposed to stop my fully grown brother?”
“……. ”
“Crime is committed, and punishment is awaited. My brother will adhere to those two principles. So just leave it alone.”
“A person’s life is at stake because of a crime they didn’t commit.”
“Who is the innocent person?”
Rene tilted her head and opened the hand she had tightly clenched. A sharp medal was soaked in blood.
“You? Your husband? Or…”
She flipped her hand, letting the blood drip onto Liz’s pajamas, indicating the last family member.
“The prince in your belly?”
“Codel 12th district resident.”
Liz said firmly.
“And everyone, including you and your family.”
Rene whistled, expressing satisfaction.
“Why are you suddenly so merciful? That’s not like you.”
“……. ”
“Please, stop. It’s disgusting.”
In the axe-blade-like silence, the two stared at each other.
Liz seemed to be looking for an opportunity to attack, while Rene seemed to contemplate how to provoke the opponent more. Liz found it first.
“Stop your brother. Forget everything else; just thinking about your family should be reason enough to stop.”
“No, it’s not enough.”
Rene also seemed to find something.
“I was planning to leave anyway, so I don’t care about your family, regardless of what happens. And.”
“……. ”
“If you employed me for that purpose, it’s your perfect mistake, Empress.”
There was no malice in her tone, and Liz felt uneasy rather than reassured.
“Adrian, although a bit foolish, is a man who finishes what he starts. If he intended to work to make the Duke an Emperor, no one can stop him, even the country.”
It wasn’t a lie. Realizing that, Liz’s eyes flickered like a candle in the wind and slowly dropped.
Rene’s expression, watching every bit of that change without missing anything, was not as satisfying as she had expected.
“So.”
Rene added a final word, as if chewing slowly.
“If you really want to stop him, either feed him poison or hire an assassin.”
When Liz looked up again, all she could see was Rene’s turned back.
The door closed with a bang, and Liz buried her face in her hands.
The warmth felt on her palms was unusually hot.
“I shouldn’t have pulled you in from the beginning.”
Liz muttered with a sigh. Regret surged like a tide.
Adrian Esmond.
During the time when she was Liz Berium, she had encountered him only once.
It was at some social gathering, where he rescued her when she was struggling with the rude behavior of a drunken noble.
That incident left Liz with a favorable impression of him. She thought of him as a genuinely kind man. Therefore, when she realized the original ending, she couldn’t believe it at all.
Could such a person commit such a heinous act?
Because of blind loyalty to the Duke of Montaner?
The fact that his younger sister was the tomboyish girl he met in the Calier Outskirts Village was considered an even greater stroke of luck for Liz.
Given the talk she heard about the men in that family not being able to touch his sister, she believed that she could shatter his crazy beliefs. It was the main reason she pulled her as a close aide.
However…
“It was a pointless act.”
Liz lifted her heavy body and went to the small room next to the bed. Passing through the jewel display case that glowed even in the darkness, she walked to the end and then placed the necklace statue sent from the Nervan Kingdom on the floor, opening the drawer underneath.
The once-filled drawer with gold bars was now empty, except for a single business card. Liz read the name on the business card in front of her eyes.
“Roberto Cardis.”
He was the head of the assassination guild. Liz had contacted him through Rosa by finding his name in the confidential list of palace personnel, just in case. She had hoped not to use it, but it seemed that now she had no choice.
After putting everything back to its original state, except for the business card, Liz came out.
“Your… Your Highness!”
Rosa, who had thought Liz was sleeping and came to get a candlestick, was struck dumbfounded when she saw Liz. Liz hurriedly grabbed Rosa, sensing the awkward situation.
“I’ll call the physician immediately.”
“It’s fine!”
Liz quickly reassured Rosa. It was to prevent an awkward situation.
“This is just… spilled coffee. It’s not a hemorrhage, so you don’t have to worry.”
Rosa’s eyes briefly scanned Liz’s face. There was no trace of any bleeding there, but as always, she didn’t inquire about the circumstances.
“I will bring a new nightgown for you.”
Rosa moved quickly.
Meanwhile, Liz took another look at the business card in her hand.
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.
