Chase and Iris descended to the dungeon.
The closer they got to the prison, the clearer the sobbing became.
He felt a heavy pain in his chest but dismissed it as the stale air in the dungeon.
“Elise.”
At Chase’s call, Elise, who had been lying down, struggled to her feet.
“Ah! Chase! Your Majesty!”
Elise crawled on her knees to the bars and clung to them. Chase clicked his tongue at her disheveled appearance.
“Your Majesty, I knew you would come…”
Elise, who had eagerly approached, closed her mouth upon seeing Iris standing next to him. She clenched her teeth.
Instead of shouting why Iris was there, she spoke the words she had prepared.
“Your Majesty, I have never betrayed you.”
Her voice trembled badly, but it was a necessary and truthful statement.
“Shut your mouth. All that comes out of it are lies. Did you sully yourself with that barbarian?”
“Your Majesty, I have never had a personal affair with the Titrisian prince.”
“Have the gall to lie blatantly. How shameless.”
Chase coldly dismissed her.
“Give me time, and I will reveal everything. I will reveal all…”
“Why? To come out and fabricate evidence? Isn’t that what you do best? Creating false rumors and fabricating evidence underhandedly to take what belongs to others.”
Elise was speechless.
Chase was right. Among the things she did for him, there were such actions.
But it was all for Chase.
Yet Chase called it a grave sin, enjoying the sweet fruits of her deeds.
Tears streamed down Elise’s cheeks.
Her breath became rapid, her head dizzy from hyperventilation.
Elise wiped her tears with her torn hands.
Her life was too pitiful to end like this.
“Please, just spare me, Your Majesty.”
Elise prostrated herself on the cold stone floor, forehead against the ground, begging abjectly.
Realizing Chase’s heart had completely departed, it was the only action Elise could take.
She was not foolish enough to hold onto the changed heart of a man and utter love.
Instead of clinging to his love, Elise appealed to his reason.
“Your Majesty, I have many businesses that I have built up. If I disappear, there will be great turmoil in the businesses, and it will affect the subjugation campaign. I will work until the subjugation campaign is complete. After that, I will disappear from your sight and live quietly. Please, Your Majesty, have mercy…”
“Elise, I will take good care of your businesses.”
Iris cut Elise off.
“Accept it, Elise. There’s nothing more you can do. There’s no place for you.”
Elise looked up to meet Iris’s eyes. Iris smiled brightly.
“Your place was always there.”
Iris pointed to the underground dungeon. Elise’s anger surged to her head. Iris leaned towards the trembling Elise.
“The dungeon suits you.”
“You… you did this to me.”
“Only realizing now? I gave you plenty of hints.”
Elise clenched her eyes shut. Then she remembered the rumors she had ignored.
Rumors of Chase and Iris meeting often, Iris starting to manage the king’s maids and stewards, people who got business rights through her.
She had asked Chase about it, but each time it felt like he was drifting further away, so she had to keep silent.
The times she had covered her eyes, ears, and mouth came back to haunt her like a dagger pointed at her.
“Could you step aside for a moment, Chase?”
Iris nuzzled her face against Chase’s chest.
“Are you sure?”
Chase asked tenderly. His smile at Iris was filled with affection.
“Of course, Your Majesty. Elise can’t do anything, you know. She can’t use magic. Even if she could, she wouldn’t be able to touch a hair on me.”
“But she still has her mouth. I’m worried she might say something that hurts you.”
Chase stroked Iris’s face. She snuggled into his large palm like a cat.
Their affectionate interaction was painfully etched into Elise’s retinas.
Chase kissed Iris’s forehead before leaving. He showed no consideration for his former lover.
Elise glared at Iris.
“Since when?”
“Does it matter?”
Elise lunged at her in response to her innocent reply.
But her hands were stopped by the bars, failing to even touch the hem of Iris’s dress.
Would it have been different if she could use magic? Elise ground her teeth.
Iris laughed slyly and sat on the floor. She gently caressed Elise’s cheek with her white hand.
“Everything has returned to its place. Don’t resent me. You were too greedy, and that’s why this happened.”
“Why are you doing this to me?”
Elise’s voice broke.
“You’re just in the way. No grand reason.”
Iris spoke with a lightness as if she were sweeping away trash. She then grabbed Elise’s hand, lying on the ground.
Iris placed a small vial in Elise’s palm.
It was odorless, colorless poison.
“I made it. It’s very effective. I’ve already tested it, so don’t worry about its efficacy.”
Elise’s eyes shook rapidly. Could it be…
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:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?

Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
