From a distance, I didn’t realize it well, but the emperor had a much warmer impression than I had thought.
On the other hand, the empress, despite having a beautiful appearance, exuded sharpness and sensitivity.
Even with a significant age difference as a married couple, the two emanated completely contrasting vibes.
That was the moment.
While looking at the empress, our eyes met in an instant.
I felt the empress looking at me with a curious gaze.
Startled, I hastily lowered my gaze and stood still.
“Marquis Raverion.”
When the emperor called for Kaern, I carefully raised my head, which was lowered.
And glancing at the empress, fortunately, she was looking at Kaern, not me.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Once again, I am truly grateful for the marquis leading the army. It is greatly appreciated.”
“No, Your Majesty. I am merely doing what I should do.”
“The people of the empire believe that Marquis Raverion reliably protects the empire. I trust you won’t betray that belief this time as well.”
The empress interjected from the side.
But for some reason, her words sounded more like teasing than encouraging Kaern.
There was no way Kaern could not have noticed what I had noticed.
However, Kaern showed no change in expression.
As if such words could not affect him at all.
“I will do my best to ensure that trust continues.”
And he responded leisurely to the empress’s words.
“Well, then, that’s truly fortunate. Don’t you think so, Your Majesty?”
“Yes, indeed. As long as the Marquis is present, there can be no defeat for the Royden Empire. I trust in your abilities without a doubt.”
The emperor smiled kindly and encouraged Kaern.
‘Odd.’
The atmosphere was more unexpected than I had thought.
I had always thought that the emperor was restraining Kaern and considered him inappropriate.
However, the actual appearance of the two was not like that at all.
On the contrary…
It wasn’t the emperor but the empress beside him who was restraining Kaern.
‘I wonder which family the empress belongs to.’
It was a moment when I was rolling my head to recall new information.
“Is she the Marquis’s fiancée?”
At the sudden question from the empress, I hastily snapped out of my solitary thoughts.
“Yes. She is my fiancée, Herena Rosentia.”
“Nice to meet you. Herena Rosentia, is it?”
As Kaern finished speaking, I introduced myself to the emperor and empress.
“If it’s the Rosentia family… Ah, I remember now. Is she the daughter-in-law of the Rosentia couple who died in an accident a few years ago?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
Unpleasant memories buried deep in my heart resurfaced, making my mood not particularly pleasant, but I didn’t show it.
The person in front of me was none other than a member of the imperial family.
And whether she deliberately asked such a question or not, revealing one’s feelings in an uncertain state was an uncharacteristic behavior for a noble.
So, without showing any expression to the empress’s question, I replied.
“Oh, that’s unfortunate.”
The empress, with a completely unapologetic expression, uttered the words.
Watching that, I gradually got a sense of what kind of person the empress was.
“So, was the engagement between the two formed after that incident?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
“The Marquis Raverion became the fiancé of the girl who lost her parents and became alone due to the accident.”
“…Yes.”
“Come to think of it, even before the accident, I heard stories that the Duke and Duchess of the Raverion family and the deceased Rosentia couple were originally close, and they were friends with the younger sister… Is it still the case?”
With a piercing gaze as if she had seen through everything, the empress held her words with a hint of mockery.
That, too, didn’t feel particularly good.
But once again, I couldn’t react in any way.
I knew better than anyone that the empress’s speculation was close to the truth.
“My sister’s request and sympathy.”
It was already the third time.
Someone had openly mentioned my engagement with Kaern, starting from the tea party incident, then Lucas, and now the empress, making it the third time.
However, unlike before, I couldn’t confidently deny it this time.
“Well, that…”
As I silently listened, the empress’s words began to attack Kaern, surpassing me.
So, in an attempt to say something to prevent that from happening, Kaern spoke before me.
“Even if there hadn’t been such a tragic incident in the Rosentia family, I would gladly have been engaged to her.”
“Hmm, is that so?” The empress asked with a completely skeptical expression.
“Yes, so please stop baseless speculations.”
When Kaern responded strongly and firmly to the empress, the atmosphere became tense for a moment.
I looked at the situation with a perplexed face, not knowing how to handle it, searching for the only person who could salvage this situation.
But strangely, the emperor, too, seemed to be watching someone closely.
‘Why is the emperor looking at the empress like that?’
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.

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.
