Time flew by, and it was already the day of the First Prince’s return. Dressed in the gown Floria had lent me, I looked at myself in the mirror from various angles.
“Wow, this is just asking to be ridiculed, isn’t it?”
Shimmering with cubic zirconia, the red dress appeared flashy at first glance, but it was tacky. It was clear Floria had prepared this just for me, as it was unlikely she would own such a dress.
“But this hair accessory is a bit too much, isn’t it?”
I sighed while looking at the gaudy, spider-web-like golden accessory entangled in my updo. Unlike Floria, who had dazzling golden hair, Reneola had light chestnut hair.
Already jealous of the beautiful Floria, she always adorned her hair with the most extravagant decorations.
“You look so beautiful, sister!”
Floria clapped her hands, admiring my reflection in the mirror.
“I remembered you always liked such accessories, so I prepared this for you, and it really suits you.”
I smiled back at Floria, trying to hide my true feelings.
Everyone might have overlooked Reneola’s eccentricities when the Violet family was thriving, but now it was sure to draw only ridicule. Floria knew this and had deliberately chosen such an accessory for me.
“Let’s see.”
Floria stood shoulder to shoulder with me in front of the mirror. In contrast to my loud appearance, she wore a pure white dress that resembled a wedding gown and had her hair simply braided.
“Hmm, like a wicked step-sister and a kind Cinderella.”
I shrugged inwardly.
“I’m so happy to go to the ball with you, sister. Thank you for coming with me.”
“No, Your Highness, I don’t know how to repay your kindness. I’m honored just to be invited to the ball, let alone wearing such a lavish dress. Thank you so much.”
I bowed deeply, feeling it was time to show my loyalty.
“Please don’t do this, sister. Get up.”
“Your Highness…”
I stood up, pretending to be moved.
“Are you excited to attend a ball after so long?”
“Yes, all thanks to you.”
“I remember you always enjoyed balls. Just relax and have fun today, okay?”
Floria took my hands and leaned in, smiling. I returned the smile while thinking hard.
“Does she mean I should create a scene like I used to?”
Floria’s expression was purely innocent, unlike my complicated thoughts.
“You look absolutely beautiful today, sister.”
“More beautiful than you, Your Highness? The Second Prince will fall for you all over again.”
Before I could finish, the Second Prince burst into the room without knocking.
“Oh, my God!”
Exclaiming religiously, despite his lack of faith, he swiftly crossed the room, pulled Floria into his arms, and loudly kissed her forehead.
“You’re so beautiful, I can barely open my eyes.”
“You look splendid too, Your Highness.”
“Every jewel in the world pales in comparison to you. I promise.”
“Ugh, so cheesy.” I secretly rubbed my goosebumped arms, unable to bear looking directly at their nauseatingly sweet display.
“But are you really planning to take this person to the ball?”
Eric, the prince who had been lavishing praise on Floria, now turned his displeased gaze towards me. His contempt for my taste was evident as he looked me up and down.
‘Hey, it’s not like I wanted to dress like this.’
“You gave permission, didn’t you?”
Upon Floria’s suggestion, Prince Eric let out a resigned sigh and extended his arm to her.
“Let’s go.”
I followed behind Floria and Prince Eric, who were walking arm in arm, closely and affectionately.
The banquet held in the outer palace annex was a grand affair that lived up to the word ‘magnificent’. The procession earlier had been majestic, but the victory celebration, held after several years, seemed even more elaborately prepared.
The sparkling chandeliers, the uplifting music and the joyous laughter, the exquisitely dressed nobles in their gowns and tailcoats – it was all breathtaking. However, I stood with a grim expression, just crunching on macarons.
‘To drink or not to drink.’
I pondered over the champagne glass on the table, remembering what Floria had said in the dressing room earlier.
The original Reneola Violet loved alcohol, but her tolerance was low. So, by the end of the balls, she was always embarrassingly drunk. It seemed Floria wanted me to show that side of her today.
Well, acting drunk for my life’s sake wasn’t too hard. The only problem was…
‘I’m a total lightweight.’
For some reason, I’ve never been drunk, no matter how much I drank. It meant I had to feign drunkenness in front of all these people while sober, not an easy task even for someone as mentally strong as me.
“The nerve of her.”
“Can’t believe she’s not embarrassed. I wouldn’t dare show my face here.”
“She must’ve pestered Floria to bring her to the ball. Look at that vulgar dress. What a taste.”
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.
