The Male Lead Is Obsessed With Proposing to Me

the Grand Duke Benelucia will never be able to rebel against him.

‘The leash of Benelucia Afron.’

《The Thorn of Chloracean》 clearly describes the female lead that way.

‘What……what’s wrong?’

Senelia lost in thought and trembled, not even thinking of stopping the blood that started dripping from her neck to the floor.

The white dress was gradually stained with red blood.

Her neck began to tingle gradually.

But if I close my eyes like this, I will never be able to open them again.

I have to live.

This was the only thought that came to Senelia during this hellish time, “My family is not very low-ranked to be a member of the imperial family.”

Senelia finally opened her mouth again.

Was it because she really thought it was her last chance to survive?

This time her voice did not tremble.

The female lead, Lucalina, was the famous daughter of the Marquis Ellihan and a childhood friend of the emperor and the grand duke.

“I don’t have any great abilities.”

Also, Lucalina is the only swordmaster in this empire other than the emperor and the grand duke.

“Above all, I fear Your Majesty more than Benelucia Afron.”

Besides, Lucalina was not afraid of the emperor.

Then I remembered.

Lucalina was the leash of Benelucia, and Benelucia was the leash of Lucalina.

That fact always worries the emperor.

A marquis’ daughter who can be a reliable ally of Benelucia, a swordmaster who can be a strong ally, Lucalina’s ability strong enough to oppose the emperor, and she is not afraid of the emperor.

Senelia raised her head slightly to check the emperor’s face.

He had a satisfied smile on his face.

Senelia noticed that she had finally said the right answer.

It was then that she felt relief.

“That’s an answer I really like.”

If Senelia becomes Benelucia’s weakness, the emperor will get an easy leash to swing.

In that sense, Senelia is better than Lucalina.

“Then you have to work hard to make it happen.”

The emperor finally pulled the sword away from her neck.

At the same time, Senelia became conscious.

A dark future awaits.

 

***

 

After that, Senelia had no choice.

If she doesn’t put a leash on Benelucia Afron, she will die.

So Senelia loved Venelucia, to live.

From the time she met Benelucia to the time she broke up with him, not a single thing was unintentional.

The reason she stayed by Benelucia’s side for a year was to make him believe that she loved him.

Senelia wasn’t that much of a planner in the first place.

However, there is a saying that anyone can become superhuman if their life is in danger.

It was no different from her.

In order for Benelucia to love her, she had to first make him believe in her love.

In the end, Benelucia came to believe in Senelia’s love.

So next she said goodbye to him.

 

***

 

The day was as usual.

When Senelia woke up, the bed that had been hot turned cold.

It’s just her again in the cold bed.

Senelia pulled the string.

The maid who came in because of her call immediately spoke, “His Highness……”

After spending the night together, being left alone was familiar to Senelia.

However, the maid still looked sorry for it.

“He must have had work because he was so busy with construction.”

So instead of the maid, Senelia first explained the reason for Benelucia’s absence.

But somehow, the more she made the excuses, the more the maid’s face hardened.

Senelia pretended not to know it and got up.

Because she didn’t want to make excuses for Benelucia again.

“Rather, prepare the bath.
There is a tea party today.”

“Yes, Lady Daphnen.”

The maid bowed her back politely.

Less than five minutes after Senelia spoke, the bathwater was ready.

Warm steam was rising from the bathwater.

Even though the time was so short, the preparation for the bath was absolutely perfect.

As if the maid had already waited for her to give this order.

‘This is really strange.’

Senelia thought to herself.

This is the sixth year that Senelia and Benelucia have been dating.

Seven years ago, she was just a woman who warmed Benelucia’s bed, nothing more, nothing less.

A year later, Senelia became the grand duke’s lover.
And six years have passed.

To be honest, Senelia didn’t think she was much different now than she was seven years ago.

Benelucia did not propose to her for six years as his lover.

Meanwhile, Senelia’s marriageable age had passed.

However, since Senelia was the only woman by the grand duke’s side, everyone assumed that the two would get married.

‘That illusion was broken two years ago.’

Senelia smiled meaningfully.
