He rested his chin on the armrest of the sofa.

“I just assume that it was due to a great mistake.”

A great mistake…….

As the Duke said, the curse was very old, so it was impossible to guess what kind of mistake had been made.

“What about a way to break the curse? I think you’ve been trying all this time.”

In response to Nelia’s question, Duke Hart opened his mouth while staring blankly into the void.

“Of course, I have tried countless ways. But no one could break the curse. The only method we found was this pill. So, I no longer hope to break the curse.”

The Duke smiled as if he might start laughing.

“I just wish that I absolutely do not show my brutal form to others.”

[This is the time separator]

All day that day, the words that the Duke had said kept spinning in Nelia’s head.

‘I just wish that I absolutely do not show my brutal form to others.’

Brutal form……?

If it were a regular snake, she could feel that way, but the Duke’s form as a snake did not feel brutal at all.

That’s why the Duke’s words sounded somewhat profound.

As if he were hiding something else……?

It could be due to her hypersensitivity. Nelia looked down at the Duke, who had become a snake, shaking her head.

The Duke had intentionally not taken his medicine today. Eventually, the Duke transformed into a snake with a poof.

Nelia sat on the Duke’s bed and asked.

“……What should I do?”

“I’ll try to remember how I turned back into a human then.”

The really fortunate thing was that the Duke could still speak even as a snake.

Of course, the Duke said he doesn’t normally speak well as a regular snake. Because others would definitely think it’s strange.

“Ah, I remember.”

Soon the snake blinked its eyes and spoke. It looked quite lively and felt cute.

“When I saw Nelia slipping, I tried to help her, and then I turned back.”

It was an ambiguous condition.

Nelia jumped up from her spot.

“Then, Duke. I’ll fall down once, so watch me.”

The snake shook its head back and forth in a flurry.

“You can’t, Nelia!”

“We have no other choice.”

Nelia said decisively and got up from the bed. Then, recreating that day, she closed her eyes tight and leaned toward the floor on the other side of the bed.

“Nelia!”
The Duke hastily sprang up and lunged towards Nelia. A snake struck its head on Nelia’s body with a thump.

“Ouch…….”

As Nelia hit the ground, she rubbed her shocked rear.

She looked just in case, but the Duke in her arms was still in the form of a snake.

Nelia spoke while looking at the Duke in snake form.

“It seems this isn’t going to work…….”

“How could you behave so recklessly!”

The Duke’s reprimanding voice was heard. She couldn’t read the snake’s expression, but it seemed quite angry.

“We have to try everything, don’t we?”

The Duke remained silent, seemingly displeased. Nelia gently picked up the Duke and put him back on the bed. He wouldn’t be able to get up on his own.

The Duke stared at Nelia.

“……I asked Nelia for help, not to engage in dangerous behavior.”

“Understood. Since my falling and your return to human form seem unrelated, I won’t do this kind of thing anymore.”

As Nelia replied, the Duke finally let go of his anger.

‘Hmm……?’

Why am I reading emotions on a snake’s face?

Nelia found it odd, but soon shook her head.

She still had a long way to go.

After that, she tried various things with the Duke. For example, grabbing the snakeformed Duke’s body and pulling it from both sides, throwing it, and feeding it something unusual.

But no matter what, the Duke wouldn’t return to human form.

“Shall we call it a day?”

The Duke looked at Nelia and spoke. The snake seemed quite tired.

Nelia nodded her head.

“That would be best.”

“You’ve worked hard, Nelia.”

“You too, Duke.”

Despite their hard work, there was no change, and her spirits were low.

As for the Duke, he must have felt even worse.

She wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but his silver eyes seemed a bit gloomy.

Nelia reached out and stroked the snake’s smooth head.

“Don’t worry too much, Duke. Every cloud has a silver lining.”

In fact, Nelia often thought that if the sky fell, there would be no silver lining, but now a white lie was needed. She simply wanted to console the Duke out of pity.

But then, the hand that had been stroking the snake’s head went straight up.

Her eyes met with the silver ones.

“Duke!”

“Nelia……?”

The Duke had transformed back into a human!

Nelia hugged the Duke out of joy.

“Duke! You’ve transformed back into a human!”

“It’s thanks to Nelia.”

Duke Hart carefully hugged Nelia back. Nelia’s small body was tightly nestled in the Duke’s arms.

Then, her hand touched his firm back muscles.

Thinking about it, he was again without clothes.

“Ah!”

Nelia, startled, quickly pulled away. And then she looked at him resentfully.

“Duke, again……!”

The Duke chuckled lightly and shrugged his shoulders.

“I can’t help it when I turn back from a snake.”

“Fine, but please put on your clothes quickly.”

There was nowhere for her eyes to go due to his exposed upper body.

‘Unnecessarily, he has a good body.’

A firm chest, broad shoulders, and the back muscles she touched just now…

Although she had hardly ever seen a man’s body, she knew that it was on par with welltrained knights.

Swallowing dryly without realizing it, Nelia’s eyes met with Duke Hart who had put on his pants and was putting on his shirt.

Nelia felt embarrassed as if he had read her thoughts. She kept her head down intentionally, so the bed was shaking.

When she lifted her head, the Duke had come close. His shirt buttons were still undone.

“Nelia, your face is red.”

“It’s, it’s fine.”
Nelia looked elsewhere, feeling embarrassed.

“Don’t you see that I’m not okay at all? Could you look at me, please?”

At Duke Hart’s insistence, Nelia reluctantly lifted her head. Silver eyes stared intently at her.

Thump thump.

Her heart pounded like a thief caught in the act.

“Do you have a fever?”

The Duke tenderly held Nelia’s chin. He then placed his forehead against Nelia’s.

The sensation of heat transferred to his cool skin.

“You’re hot, Nelia.”

Quietly, he murmured with his forehead still against hers.

His gentle voice tickling her ear made her feel as if her face might explode.

Barely managing to compose herself, Nelia pushed Duke Hart away.

“……Your skin is cold, Duke.”

“I see.”

The Duke laughed.

But why? Today, the sight of him squinting and smiling strangely captivated her, like a fox about to steal the liver from its enchanted prey.

Nelia needed to escape right away.

If she remained still, an ominous premonition told her that something might happen.

“It’s getting late, so I should really……”

“Ah……!”

As Nelia got up from the bed, Duke Hart slumped down.

The Duke grimaced.

“Why, why are you like that, Duke?”

“Just a sudden prick in the foot…….”

Nelia blinked her eyes.

A sudden prick in the foot……?

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~
