Otherwise, there was no chance.
‘I’ll never be more than a member of this household, never a real family. Then there’s no need to desperately look good to these people. No more living carefully, striving to be loved.’
She would start anew.
From the beginning, again.
Just like when she was left alone with nothing.
(This is a time separator.)
The Tower ‘Horizon’ was one of the main four towers protecting the kingdom. Though it had the shortest history among the four towers, it consistently showed rapid growth and became one of the prominent major towers competing for the top spot in the industry.
Being the first choice of employment for all wizards, due to its bright prospects and solid foundation, Horizon was ranked first among the most promising towers, soaring until the sudden death of the former tower master ‘Yung’ hit the brakes.
Moreover, the discovery of his will, naming his student ‘Gibnen Lianster’ as the next tower master, turned the kingdom upside down. He was too young to take on the role of tower master.
Known as Yung’s apprentice and direct successor, Gibnen Lianster originally had the proper lineage from the wizarding family of Lianster.
Born into a pure wizard bloodline, he demonstrated exceptional skills and handsome looks from a young age, quickly gaining fame.
However, despite this, people were concerned about him, still a mere youth, taking on the heavy responsibility of tower master.
He was just twentyfour. It was the moment when the ‘youngest and most juvenile tower master’ was born in the history of the tower’s founding.
Upon becoming the new tower master of Horizon, Gibnen immediately began his official actions by hosting a reception to celebrate his inauguration.
The world focused on this reception, or more precisely, on the key figures invited to this reception.
A party inviting only a handful of key figures. Just being invited was an honor no less than being invited to a royal event.
Such an occasion to invite a count’s family from a remote territory was clearly exceptional.
“Master, Count Ryan Eardalin has conveyed his intention to attend.”
“Good, well done.”
Sak Vendom, who had just taken up the position of assistant to the young Magi Tower Master, questioned the invitation list as he looked through the reception’s guest list.
It was because a completely unfamiliar name was blatantly listed.
Ryan Eardalin. What was this unfamiliar name, this unfamiliar family?
“But Master, what’s the reason for inviting Count Eardalin’s family? As far as I know, there is no personal acquaintance… Do you even need to invite their children?”
“There’s no personal acquaintance, but they are the most important guests at my reception this time.”
“I guess there’s some unknowable intention… but I’m a little worried. Though it’s a Magi Tower inauguration celebration, a large event hosted by Horizon is comparable in scale and significance to a royal event, and it’s customary for only key figures who lead the kingdom to attend. Inviting an insignificant count’s family doesn’t seem like a good idea.”
It wasn’t just one or two people who voiced concerns that someone so young had taken the Magi Tower Master’s position.
Especially the outsiders.
Within the Magi Tower, everyone knew of his practical ability and genius talent, so there wasn’t much opposition, but there was loud noise from the business circles investing in the Magi Tower and conservative nobles who had hostile feelings towards magicians.
Given the situation, it was most important not to create a controversy.
“If that’s the case, a mere child sitting in the Magi Tower Master’s seat isn’t a good picture either.”
Startled by the calm words of Gibnen, Sak broke out in cold sweat.
“That’s not what I mean!”
“I know.”
“…”
“There’s no need to worry about external opinions. There will hardly be any interest in an insignificant count from an unknown origin anyway.”
“Is there a reason you can’t tell me?”
Gibnen stopped moving his quill.
「Gibnen, if anything happens to me, find the daughter of Ryston and bring her to Horizon immediately. Carry this out in utmost secrecy, without anyone knowing. This is a fact known only to you and me, so act carefully.」
“……He said it’s an annoying task left by the master.”
The will of the previous Magi Tower Master?
Sak still had doubts, but he decided to hold his tongue for now.
“What about Count Ermeintz?”
“Ah, Count Ermeintz has also sent confirmation of his attendance.”
“As expected. That old man is desperate to thwart me. He’d better distinguish between where he fits and doesn’t.”
Gibnen, who had been expressionless throughout, gave a brief disgusted click of his tongue at the very existence of Count Ermeintz.
Then, as if something occurred to him, he commanded Sak.
“I forgot to mention it. I’m going to appoint a guardian as soon as the reception ends. Prepare the relevant documents properly so that the process can be started immediately.”
“A guardian? Suddenly what guardian…”
“Is there a problem?”
“It’s not exactly a problem, but… are you already planning to take a disciple?”
It was quite common for magicians to appoint guardians.
Since the relationship between mentor and mentee was designated as a guardian and ward relationship. For a magician to appoint a guardian was in the same context as officially taking a successor.
“You’re still too young to have a disciple, Master.”
“Is there a law that says I can only take a disciple as a ward?”
“……Who then?”
“You’re awfully curious.”
Seeing Gibnen’s expression, who clearly had no intention of answering, Sak scratched his head and retreated.
‘What’s Count Eardalin, and what’s a guardian…’
He had heard that geniuses were eccentric, but the behavior of this young genius Magi Tower Master, who had stirred up the world, was beyond comprehension.
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 flirtatiously pursues 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.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
