Left alone, Nelia was thinking about finding the treasures she had damaged in the original work.
She simply needed to pinpoint the location and not even flinch in that direction.
Nelia glanced at the slits of the doors leading to other rooms as she roamed the party hall.
‘Hmm… Where is the royal family’s treasure that Nelia touches in the original?’
The treasure was a necklace adorned with a gem called ‘Elena’s Tears’.
The necklace, bearing a rare blue gem, was simply stupendous in its worth.
The true value of Elena’s Tears, however, could not be calculated in terms of money.
Although nobody here knew yet, Elena’s Tears was an ancient artifact that could locate the heart of the Grey Dragon, the god of rage.
It was said that if the heart was found, the Grey Dragon would grant one wish.
The protagonist, Charlotte, later embarks on a quest with the male lead, Carlos, to locate the heart and make her wish come true.
It was, in essence, a critical key for the main characters to continue the story.
‘Of course, I don’t care.’
Yet, there was no sight of where the necklace could be.
Nelia had arrived at the party and was supposed to interact with the necklace in the original story, so it should be somewhere nearby where she could stumble upon it by mistake.
Then she felt a sharp pain in her heels.
‘I should not have worn these shoes I’m not used to. My feet hurt already.’
Exhausted, Nelia dropped onto a chair arranged in a corner of the hall.
She took off her shoes halfway and looked around the party hall.
‘Where could Carlos be?’
The party hadn’t officially started yet, but he must already be somewhere in the party hall. When the party starts, the emperor would formally introduce Carlos.
In the original, Nelia caused a scene just before the party officially started, right now.
Therefore, Nelia didn’t recognize Carlos and made a mistake.
Nelia clenched her fists again as she felt a vague sense of anxiety.
‘No, there’s no need to be anxious. I know what Carlos looks like, and I won’t even go near the necklace.’
Carlos had ashcolored hair and black eyes. His appearance was rare in this world, so it would not be hard to recognize him.
She didn’t even know where the necklace was, so as long as she was careful, she wouldn’t have to get close to it.
As Nelia was reassuring herself, she felt someone’s gaze.
It was pretty blatant.
So much so that Nelia, lost in her thoughts, could notice it.
Turning her head, her gaze collided with silver eyes.
‘…Huh?’
Nelia’s eyes widened.
The person staring at her was none other than Duke Hart.
Startled, Nelia quickly turned her head away.
‘…It’s just my imagination, right?’
When she glanced back at where the Duke was, he was conversing with the people surrounding him.
Nelia soon faced the reality.
‘Of course…’
There was no reason for Duke Hart to notice her among the many people.
He was not a character related to Nelia in the original story, and there was nothing conspicuous about her behavior.
Or perhaps their eyes met by accident as she was turning her head.
As Nelia sighed in relief, a sweet scent drifted over from the side.
Turning her head, she saw a strawberry tart on the catering table next to her.
The reason the delectable dessert only caught her eye now was because the aftereffects of her light dinner were finally hitting her.
Her mother had warned her to eat light in case the tightfitting dress didn’t fit, so all she had eaten before coming was a cabbage salad.
Thanks to that, upon seeing the appetizing food, saliva promptly filled her mouth.
‘Right, let’s not worry about Duke Hart and have some dessert.’
Nelia picked up a small strawberry tart arranged on the catering table.
It wasn’t as tasty as the famous bakery her mother had introduced, but it was quite excellent.
‘Hmm.’
Noble life is quite good.
Being able to eat delicious desserts for free in such a wonderful place.
Nelia, who was savoring the strawberry tart with her eyes closed, opened her eyes with a satisfied face.
Then she felt that intense gaze again.
Something she could never ignore.
With a sense of unease, Nelia slowly moved her eyes.
In the direction of her gaze was Duke Hart.
The Duke’s gaze was entirely directed at her, cutting across the noisy banquet hall.
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.
