Maybe the title should be ‘The Last Meal Offered to the Enemy’?
‘It’s too absurd to even laugh.’
I had no particular thoughts of revenge. But…
“Haha, oh dear.”
Seeing them like this twisted my insides.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. But I had already repaid my debt in the past life. I had given more than the worth of a loaf of bread.
‘Shouldn’t I be repaying my grudge now?’
I raised my head to see Hubert and Aris leisurely dining.
‘It’s still unbelievable.’
The two people I cursed before dying were right before my eyes, alive and well.
It felt stranger than seeing my younger face in the mirror, different from what I remembered.
Was it a prophetic dream I had? Or just a ridiculous one?
The doubt that briefly crossed my mind faded away after seeing Leo’s spirit stone, which had lost its bright blue sheen and turned rough.
The pretty stone, like an ancient temple relic I had stolen, now looked no different from a street pebble. Seeing it brought tears to my eyes.
The rusty blade of the guillotine drenched in countless blood.
The people who hurled accusations at me.
The nobles who looked at me with disdain and contempt, including Hubert Lorent, who betrayed me, and Aris Dorensia in his arms.
Leo, who disappeared to save me.
It all really happened.
‘And it’s about to happen again.’
Ah, our eyes met.
Hubert smiled softly.
“You’ve worked hard, Igraine.”
“…”
“Could you bring Aris’ favorite cherry sherbet for dessert?”
I snapped back to reality, feeling like I’d been hit on the back of the head.
‘Look at this.’
More heartless than a thief who lives off stolen goods.
‘Why am I cooking for these shameless people?’
Looking at the beautifully plated dishes on the table, I felt a pot boiling over inside me.
‘But what can I do?’
I was a bit confused.
I wanted to flip the table over, but my identity as a count’s daughter turned maid held me back.
“Sister.”
Then Aris called out to me.
“……Huh?”
I forced my neck to move, and Aris frowned, her pretty eyebrows forming a lightning shape.
“This is too salty.”
She pointed to the seasoned beef.
The moment I saw the dish, I recalled information about the meat.
Aris, who loved tender veal, had it specially sourced from top-grade suppliers.
‘It was quite stressful negotiating with the picky vendor.’
I was so irritated that I sneakily took his favorite pen…
“The meat is good, but the seasoning is a bit off. You did this, right?”
Her words severed the last thread of my restraint.
I took my hand off the plate with a snap and walked to the opposite side of Aris and Hubert.
Thud.
The layers of my thick dress rustled noisily as I sat down, sounding like dust being stirred up.
A maid serving at the table glared at me.
Georgiana.
Despite her innocent appearance, she constantly compared me to Aris, keen to point out how flawed and inadequate I was to be the Count’s daughter. One of Aris’ maids.
Next to her was Rosa, Georgiana’s friend and a kitchen maid.
‘Even so, I’m still their superior.’
“What are you doing, Igraine?”
A lukewarm voice reached my ears. I turned my head away from the maid to Hubert. My sudden action had everyone’s attention.
“I’m here to eat. It’s mealtime, isn’t it?”
“…”
“Why? Can’t I?”
Aris gaped at me as if I’d said something outrageous. A strange sense of satisfaction filled me.
The Count’s house was clean and sophisticated, but sometimes suffocating.
A noble’s maid, then an adopted daughter. Even though my status changed, my nature remained that of a street-roaming thief.
Hubert finally spoke after a brief silence.
“It’s not that you can’t.”
“Right. I’ve been working since morning, I need to eat something. Can’t always be serving others.”
I naturally ignored Aris’ questioning gaze and flicked my finger towards Georgiana.
“Georgiana?”
“Yes, yes?”
She widened her eyes in surprise. I arrogantly pointed at the tray.
“Hand me a plate. And put the salmon pie in front of me. I feel like seafood rather than meat today.”
“Yes, yes.”
Georgiana reluctantly complied, casting fleeting glances at Hubert and Aris, expecting, or perhaps hoping, they would say something to me.
A hollow laugh escaped me, mixed with incredulity.
‘What have I done?’
I’m just the Count’s adopted daughter who decided to eat and asked a servant to serve me.
Georgiana’s reaction indicated that in her mind, I was closer to being a servant than the Count’s daughter.
I served myself some salmon pie.
The savory scent whetted my appetite. It tasted rich and flavorful.
‘Delicious…’
I almost cried. Salmon was a rare ingredient, not often available in the Count’s house. Unlike Aris, who got tired of eating it too much, I loved seafood but rarely got the chance to enjoy it. I had been serving these precious salmon pies to Aris, who didn’t appreciate the luxury. Anger bubbled inside me.
I forced myself to take a large bite, suppressing my rage.
Silence enveloped the dining room. It was an icy, uncomfortable quiet. Everyone just stared at me, motionless.
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:
