He peeked at Amy, who was lost in awe at the jewel in her hand. Normally, Amy would have immediately noticed something was off with the Prince’s behavior, but she was too distracted.
“…”
Amy’s eyes trembled. In her palm lay a small jewel, the very same one the Second Prince had shyly given her just before she was kidnapped by Lady Esmaine in her previous life.
She stared blankly at the jewel she had cherished until her death in the previous life.
‘You are giving this to me again…’
The Second Prince continued.
“You know my mother is a princess from the southern lands? She said it’s rare even there, to treasure it. Maybe it could even perform magic.”
Amy blinked and echoed his words.
“Perform magic…”
The Prince nodded happily, then quickly added.
“Not that I believe in that sort of thing…”
He seemed worried Amy might think him naive. But she was too preoccupied. Her thoughts were a tangled mess.
‘So, this is what caused my regression.’
She gulped dryly and lifted the jewel to eye level.
‘Was it always this luminous…?’
She tilted her head in confusion. In her memory, before the regression, it had been a dull stone with little to no luster or color. But now, it was sparkling magnificently.
‘The color changes with the angle. Purple, blue, even red?’
How could this be? Amy turned to the Second Prince.
“What kind of jewel is this?”
“Oh, that’s not a jewel.”
The Prince brightened up at her question and shyly replied.
“It’s a magical artifact.”
“A magical artifact?”
Amy’s eyes widened in astonishment. She looked back and forth between the jewel and the Prince.
“Isn’t that an ancient relic used in the previous century?”
Magical artifacts were divine tools that had become forgotten after the generation of the Prince’s great-grandparents.
In that era, there were records of incredible tools that regulated temperature and humidity, emitted light in the dark, brought forth water in dry places, and produced fire in frozen areas.
Magical artifacts, particularly abundant in the southern lands where divine essence was believed to be imbued, were fascinating because they couldn’t be created by human hands. They simply existed in the world at some point, and humans utilized them for their purposes. However, this was only possible until a century, precisely 100 years ago.
Today’s magical artifacts were like wind-up dolls whose springs had fully unwound, no longer functional.
‘But the late Empress said it could perform magic.’
Being a princess from the southern lands, it wouldn’t have been strange for her to possess a national treasure, secretly passed down through the royal lineage. So, it was certain that this artifact caused her regression. But the change in color of the artifact suggested something more…
“Is this magical artifact no longer usable?”
Amy was sure that it had expended its power in causing her regression. At her words, the bright light in the eyes of the Second Prince dimmed immediately.
‘What was that tingling sensation I felt when I first held the jewel? Like being struck by lightning?’
He reflexively touched the black earring on his earlobe, his expression turning grave.
“…Probably so.”
He seemed disheartened, thinking Amy considered the artifact insignificant. But that wasn’t her intention.
Amy looked at him with a curious expression.
“But you’ve kept it so preciously all this time. And you’re giving it to me, something the late Empress instructed to give to someone special?”
“Uh, yes?”
His face brightened again. The Prince blinked, his cheeks turning slightly red, and muttered softly.
“The only person precious to me is Amy.”

“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.

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.
