Unsealed, so it’s okay to look?
But the content in the briefly opened letter was indecipherable code.
“What on earth?”
Doubt crept in.
Was he pretending to have forgotten the past, or was this really Craig?
A person who didn’t even know his own name suddenly sends a coded letter upon waking?
Her suspicions of him hiding something intensified, but she had no concrete evidence.
“Should I really throw it?”
Though an odd method of delivery, it wasn’t hers to worry about.
Cordelia tossed the letter into the air. As expected, it fluttered down.
Then it happened.
Suddenly, the letter burst into flames, forming a shape.
“Is that!”
Cordelia leaned out from the tower in shock. The silvery shape soon dissipated like stardust, leaving no trace.
Although it lasted only a few seconds, the silvery shape was unmistakably a familiar symbol.
“The White Serpent…”
It was the crest of the most powerful of the Sacred Eight Families, Atilei.
And within the family, only the head could use that symbol.
“Why Atilei here? Was Craig connected to them?”
Her mind reeled.
Her comatose husband miraculously revived, now wielding magic that conjured Atilei’s crest?
It was unbelievable, even to a stray dog.
“The White Serpent… The White Serpent…”
To an ordinary person, the recent event might seem just a fleeting shimmer.
If it wasn’t for her special ‘ability’, Cordelia herself would not have noticed it.
‘Come to think of it, everything’s odd – his personality, attitude, way of speaking.’
White Serpent Atilei and Craig Abrams.
Two seemingly unrelated elements now linked by a single thread.
There was definitely something she didn’t know, but what it was remained unclear.
Cordelia spent a long time gazing at the sky where the phantom of the White Serpent had vanished before descending the tower.
“Is all this really true?”
“Yes. Everyone’s hushing it up, but it seems the head of Atilei has indeed died.”
The next day, Cordelia had Emily gather information about the White Serpent Atilei.
The news the maid brought a few days later was unexpected.
“The cause of death?”
“Officially, it’s an accident, but no one seems to believe it.”
Understandably, considering the deceased was a renowned powerful magician from the Atilei family. Emily added in a low voice:
“Actually, there’s a widespread rumor that the second-in-line killed the head to become the new head.”
“Hmm?”
“He’s already requested title succession at the Council. And this is even before the late head’s funeral.”
The Council was a meeting of powerful nobles, the highest decision-making body. They also recognized noble title successions.
Cordelia’s eyes quietly sparkled as she listened. She handed Emily a purse of coins.
“Good work. Keep me updated on any new information about Atilei.”
“Thank you, Lady Cordelia.”
After Emily bowed and left, Cordelia tapped her fingers on the tea table.
Even she, unfamiliar with worldly matters, had heard rumors about the current head of Atilei.
Leonard Atilei, the strongest bloodthirsty magician in Ersh.
Born with immense magical power, Leonard showed his genius early and became the head at a young age.
And now, this man supposedly died in a succession conflict, and Craig, back from the dead, uses Atilei’s crest?
The only logical conclusion she could draw:
‘The person in Craig’s body is Leonard Atilei.’
While ‘how?’ remained unanswered, Leonard was a grand mage. It wouldn’t be surprising if he could use some mystical magic unknown to her.
“I’ll find out for sure.”
If Cordelia’s theory was right, she could significantly advance her escape plan.
Restless, she paced near her desk, her heart pounding excitedly.
She tried to calm her exhilaration and think rationally.
It’s possible Leonard was in Craig’s body, but equally, that letter might just be a coincidence.
After further investigation, she decided to visit Craig.
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.
