Zegritte… Once he was said to be the supreme god reigning in this world.
“He, too, made a mistake when he had the power to rule the world.”
“Zegritte made a mistake…?”
“Yeah. He regretted that mistake for a long time, until Zegritte closed his eyes.”
Nelia tilted her head.
“What… was the mistake?”
“Well, you see…”
Reunite hesitated, as if confessing something tremendous.
However, he flapped his wings, splashing water in all directions from the bathtub.
“It’s a secret!”
Moving his small wings so quickly, Nelia’s clothes were instantly soaked by the splashing water.
Nelia looked at her wet clothes and let out an incredulous laugh.
Witnessing this, Reunite raised his hand to his waist and extended his chest, as if he had accomplished something significant.
“So, do you feel better now?”
Nelia nodded her head, pretending to agree, then pushed Reunite’s body into the water.
“Argh! What are you doing!”
“If you’re going to make a bet, you should have expected something like this.”
“I was just kidding because you seemed weak, not expecting this!”
“I’m just playing around too.”
For a while, the sounds of Nelia and Reunite splashing in the bathroom did not stop.
Perhaps due to Reunite’s clumsy attempt at comfort that day, when Nelia came out of the bathroom, some of her worries seemed to have flown away.
‘Yes, let’s contact Griff first, and if there are really side effects, I’ll talk to Carlos.’
And the next day, she wrote a letter to the apothecary Griff about the side effects. The reply she received was an absolute denial.
Although it was a letter, the enthusiasm could be felt in the writing.
She wanted to talk to Carlos about it quickly, but there was no contact from him for a few days after that day.
Not knowing in what way he would contact her, she even checked the mailbox every day.
‘The same today.’
Nelia sighed and turned around, and there stood Duke Hart.
“Nelia, I’m thinking of going to the library today. What do you think?”
Today happened to be the weekend.
‘Well, it’s better to go out than stay in the room and just sigh.’
The weather was nice, so it would be good to go to the library and take a walk nearby.
“Okay.”
With Nelia’s answer, Duke Hart smiled and said,
“Yes, then get ready for the carriage…”
“Sister, it’s the weekend, but where are you going today?”
Reunite suddenly appeared and stood in front of Nelia, pointing at Duke Hart.
“I’m going to the library.”
“I want to go too!”
Nelia predicted this situation. Reunite wanted to follow her so much that he even created a human-shaped clone and left it in the mansion, following her to work in the palace in the dragon form.
Nelia, hiding her desire to keep Reunite away for today, asked kindly,
“It might be boring at the library. Wouldn’t it be better to play with Ton at the mansion?”
“I like being with Sister Nelia more!”
Although Ton, standing nearby, muttered with a noticeably resentful expression, ‘Yeah… it’s obvious that Cousin Sister is better,’ the innocent dragon seemed not to care.
Next to her, Ton muttered with a noticeably resentful expression, “Well… it’s natural that Cousin Sister is preferred,” but the innocent dragon seemed not to care.
“Alright, Nelia. Since there’s a park near the library, it would be nice to take a walk with Reunite,” the Duke added, and Nelia could only nod.
‘Can’t help it…’
So, that day, Nelia had to go out with Reunite.
When Reunite arrived at the library, he surprisingly read books quietly. However, the books he chose were all difficult titles, so Nelia had to hastily snatch them away.
Confirming that Duke Hart was concentrated on reading, Nelia whispered to Reunite.
“If an child reads these books, what would the Duke think?”
“Are you telling me to read fairy tales then?”
“Fairy tales can be fun too.”
Nelia took out a picture book that looked like a fairy tale and handed it to Reunite.
“I’m reading this.”
The picture book happened to have a drawing of a gray dragon. It seemed to be a book that simplified the Zigrith mythology.
“Although there might be no mention of Reunite here, read it while reminiscing about the past Zigrith.”
Reunite received the picture book with a snort. Nelia then reopened the book she had been reading.
But soon, Duke Hart came over and had to close it again.
“Nelia, is something wrong?”
“No, why?”
“I’ve been watching you seriously talking with Reunite since a while ago.”
Although the Duke seemed to be concentrating on reading, it seemed that he and Reunite had been a bit noisy.
Nelia made a suitable excuse.
“Oh… Reunite was making a fuss that the library is boring, so I tried something different.”
Duke Hart quietly looked at Reunite.
The silent gaze that stared for a while felt somewhat heavy, and Nelia wondered if the Duke might find Reunite’s sudden appearance somewhat uncomfortable.
‘Another guest has arrived…’
Moreover, children require a lot of attention.
In the current situation where she is focusing on lifting the curse, it might be even more annoying.
Even now, because of the continuous conversation with Reunite, her attention seemed to have been disturbed.
Glancing at the Duke, Nelia spoke with a gloomy voice.
“I’m sorry, Your Grace. Reunite must be bothering you….”
The Duke raised his head and smiled, shaking it.
“No, not at all. If Nelia’s family… then, it’s no different from family to me.”
But why does his smile feel somewhat awkward?
Seeing that Nelia’s gloomy expression didn’t seem to get better, the Duke spoke again.
“Really, Nelia. You don’t need to worry about me. Please take good care of Reunite.”
Nelia, while apologizing for Duke Hart’s kind response, felt relieved inwardly.
Even if she were to tell the dragon, who acted on its own, to return to its dragon form, it wouldn’t listen, and it had to stay in its child form. If the Duke had shown discomfort towards Reunite, it would have been a distressing situation.
“Thank you, Your Grace.”
Nelia firmly grasped the Duke’s hand.
The Duke looked down at the held hand. He finally revealed his usual gentle smile.
However, at that moment, Reunite poked his head out from the bookshelf and called Nelia.
“Sis, get me the book up there.”
“…Okay!”
Surprised, Nelia hurriedly let go of Duke Hart’s hand and went to Reunite, who was beyond the bookshelf.
Therefore, Nelia didn’t know.
What expression Duke Hart was making.
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~
