Have you ever thought of wanting to be in a novel? A heroine with a beautiful appearance, rich wealth, and a good heart like an angel. In addition, if you were asked to choose between a novel with a perfect lover from head to toe and harsh reality, everyone would choose the former without worrying about the second.

“It’s still not that!” I wandered anxiously through the spacious room. A silk carpet that was so comfortably and soft that it wrapped around her bare feet, but I wasn’t excited at all. A quiet dawn that just shines. A gentle breeze blows through the slightly open windows. I couldn’t even make a loud noise because I was afraid of anyone listening, and I found a hand mirror placed on the table.

“No, it won’t. It shouldn’t!” Reaching out with shaking hands to pick up the mirror, the delicate white hand came into view. In addition, the finely trimmed nails that are well-groomed in almond shape. I swallow my saliva and try to look into the mirror.

White-toned skin, undulating sunset blonde hair, jewel-like glowing purple eyes, and small tear spots in the shape of a heart under the right eye! The mirror fell from my weak hand. I lie blankly on the bed. Was she really only fifteen? A beautiful girl who is childish but has a brilliant beauty that men will be captivated by. She wasn’t me, but I knew her very well.

Lydia Odette!

She is a character in the fantasy novel that I enjoyed reading. It was the only enjoyment of the small citizens who were tired of the hard life. But why aren’t I happy?

“I wonder if there is anything to be happy about!” She was not the main character. The overflowing money, the angelic heart, and the perfect fiancé all belonged to the heroine. Lydia Odette only has one of the numerous advantages of the heroines, her beautiful appearance.

She was one of the extras that barely appeared. Still, your face is pretty, but what’s wrong? Wouldn’t it be okay to eat well with that face and live well? Sounds like you don’t know! She was one of the concubines who died at the hands of the male protagonist, the emperor, because she bothered the heroine in the story. She also tormented her in the moment when the emperor fell in love with the heroine, and unfortunately, she was cut off and died on the spot.

Although there was not a lot of details about her because he was a supporting character, she knows about her because her name was mentioned along with the description of her appearance at the end of the novel when the two main characters marry. Heaven, are you punishing me for something I did? I just fell asleep while reading a novel. Oh, it looks like you smelled a little burnt while sleeping, but did you have a fire? Oh, all I have to do is wake up from this dream!

“This is a dream, a dream!” I closed my eyes and muttered.

God, this can’t really be happening, right? It’s obviously reading the novel so hard before you fall asleep can cause a very vivid dream! How many times have you murmured? Lying on the large fluffy bed and muttering about 100 times, my mind became hazy. Okay… that’s it. Now when I wake up from my dreams, I will open my eyes and I’ll be back in my small but cozy room. Thinking that way, I fell asleep.

———————-

Beep!

“Lydia?”

Um…  Noisy. Please, mom don’t play those dramas in the morning.

“Oh my god, it’s late!” I was going to sleep for one more minute in a warm blanket, but someone took off the blanket and raised me up and sat down.

“You should be ready to go to the imperial castle!”

What?! Imperial castle?!

I opened my eyes and an unfamiliar but familiar sight spread out in front of my hazy eyes. Unrealistic medieval furniture, a luxury bed with a canopy in the sky, a ferocious aunt, and a reflection of myself in the water basin that popped out!

“You slept late last night? Look at what I was still dreaming of!” She opened my mouth open with a hand. I quickly closed it when a white towel wiped my face with water. Now wait a minute, stop!

“Hey, you saw the wrong person! Bom!”

“Stay still! Why are you struggling with me today? To be on time for the carriage, we have to wash and change your clothes quickly!”  ‘How the hell is this happening? Why am I still in the novel?’ My eyes wide in shock.

While I was thinking, the aunt washed me and changed my clothes in the blink of an eye. The checkered dress, full of lace and frills, was terrifyingly tacky, but the girl’s beauty with long, lovely red blonde hair like sunset made me forget about the tacky clothes. If I wasn’t in this situation, I would admire it over and over. I shouted in a hurry.

“Come on, wait a minute. Something is wrong, here!”

“Don’t worry, it’s a dress made of the finest fabrics Madame Torso has. When you get to the capital you can buy a new one.”

‘I’m not talking about a dress!’ I am trying hard to explain this ridiculous situation, but this was also useless.

“Wait a minute! I have something to say!”

“Oh, I almost forgot. They said that all the ladies of the capital nobles are really skinny. You don’t look bad because you have a pretty face, but you still have to be careful. If you do anything wrong, you might be stamped out and expelled before you even see His Majesty.”

The aunt doesn’t listen to me and says that I must act quietly in the future, I must stand out in His Majesty’s eyes, blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah.

I am not Lydia Odette!

As soon as I got out, I was pushed into a luxury carriage in front of the gate.

“Mrs. Odette?”

“Hohoho! Yes, it’s me. You’ve been waiting a lot, right?”

“That’s not….”

“Oh, my dear! You’ll be late!”

I’m not Lydia!

I tried not to be dragged, but I flinched in front of a cold-eyed man looking at me with a monocle.

“If you wait any longer, we will be late.”

“Oh-ho-ho, I know.”

My aunt looked frowned and put me in the wagon. Then she pretended to stamp tears with a handkerchief and whispered quickly before closing the wagon door. “Should you stand out? The future of our family is all up to you.”

“Wait!”

The hem of the ugly, bloated dress prevented me from moving! I fell over the carriage seat and screamed in surprise, but I barely regained my balance and turned around, before the door was already closed and the carriage started moving.

“Oh my God!”

I came into this novel overnight. Into the body of extra, who dies miserably! Plus, I don’t know anything about this girl except the name! I watched the outside scenery passing by with dumbfounded eyes, then I realized the situation late and jumped in my seat.

But the situation had already happened. The speed of the carriage in a fantasy novel was quite fast, so the old wheat field swept past the window.

The Capital! The Imperial Castle! The Emperor!

Am I going to die? I am scared, I grabbed the door handle and shook it to try and escape from here, but the door didn’t budge which means it couldn’t be opened from inside. Eventually, I stopped trying, I cried out in vain.

“What should I do? What is going to happen with me!” I became nervous and my teeth clattered. If I go to Imperial Palace, I will die!

About two hours passed while I was agonizing over the ugly checkered dress. Soon the wheat field was over, and a huge wall came into my eyes.

Oh wow!

“No, you can’t get killed here!” I’m not interested in the emperor! I don’t even know who the heroine is!  I’m unfairly here because I died! I have to run away. Yes, it would be better!

I grasped the hem of my loose dress and tried to escape through the window of the carriage instead of the locked door.  But then, the contents of the novel suddenly passed through my mind. ‘The emperor made a peace treaty to end the war and enlisted the daughters of each local lord as concubines….’

There is also a story that all the nobles who rebelled by ignoring the young emperor who had just risen to the throne had their throats cut. Can I run away? What if a war breaks out after running away? My strength was running out.  I needed to decide: Do you torment the heroine and die at the hands of the emperor, or run away and start war on the continent in exchange for breaking the peace treaty? Which option is the right answer?  What is it so extreme?

I tried to throw my body out while holding the window frame of the carriage tightly and worried about running. If I don’t go to the imperial castle quietly and become the emperor’s concubine, the blood-mad emperor will start a war. So, what would happen to me with nowhere to go in this world? It turns out that it’s Lydia Odette, so I would be glad if my throat doesn’t get cut first! I hesitantly sat back down in my seat to organize my thoughts.

The answer was surprisingly simple. I shouldn’t interfere with the emperor and the heroine’s love.  Instead of joining the concubines who are jealous and harassing her, I should just quietly stick to the corner of the Imperial Palace and live quietly

Let’s live quietly because I do not want to catch the eyes of the emperor. Yes, think positively. Lydia Odette will become the emperor’s concubine, so everything she wears, and eats will be treated nicely. Living quietly in the imperial castle wouldn’t be difficult.

Later, the heroine will become the empress, so I will treat her nicely and live comfortably! Then I won’t ever die because the emperor won’t hate me! But.

“Lydia Odette of Viscount Young, I appoint you as the thirty-third concubine of His Majesty.”

‘Excuse me?’

“The residence is at the west end of the Imperial Palace, Lily Castle. Go right away. Next!”

To appoint a concubine like this! I was stunned and wanted to say something, but the door was closed in front of my eyes. The carriages are lined up in a row as if there are stamping an invoice on a delivery box passed through the front, back, and sideways of my carriage.

Yes, the great god of war, His Majesty, enlisted more than thirty concubines and according to the story, the identity was given, and Lydia Odette, was the last among them.

She couldn’t even see the emperor’s face, and one of his servants, who was overwhelmed with exhaustion, only read the scroll with the emperor’s seal. No matter how much a wife who has the only name signed by the peace treaty, this is a little bit bad! To make matters worse, the Lily Castle that I stayed in was not Rapunzel’s tower, but a small castle located at the corner of the Imperial Palace.

Sigh.

How did it look good?  Even without meeting the emperor who is called the bloody god of war, cold-blooded with no blood or tears because it works. In addition, it is said that clothes and food are provided in accordance with the name of concubine. I decided to think as positively as possible and clenched my fists. Okay, maybe it’s good! If you live in a corner like this, you won’t have a chance to be jealous of the heroine, and you won’t be noticed by the emperor.

Okay, let’s live quietly. I will live quietly without being noticed by anyone, as if it didn’t exist. If I live like that I can escape from that fate? I could survive without dying!  I made up my mind again.

No matter what, it won’t be like the fate of the original. So, I’ll live quietly without anyone knowing me! In my life, where I came to live as a supporting actor, I had one goal.

Live long and simple!

So, 3 years have passed. Until now, I have lived quietly in the imperial castle and I have not met anyone other than in the beginning.

“Huh?” I found a strange man while I was trying to enter the Lily Castle, with fresh flowers that I had grown in the garden.

The moment I stopped walking; my eyes met a silver-haired man who turned to see me when he heard my voice. Transparent red eyes that were like red wine or the sun.

“Who are you? Oh, I told Chief Geppetto that I needed a new vase, but did you bring that?”  The attendants who always come here were either uncles or grandfathers. A man in ordinary clothes looked two or three years older than me, who is eighteen this year.

However, he was very tall with a beautiful appearance that was admirable. His physique and his shoulders were wide open, a thought emerged while seeing him, it is rumored that the god of war, while he has a cruel personality, he also has a heavenly appearance. I wrapped the bouquet in my white apron to make holding easier, and I often stepped up to him to receive the vase that I would place the flowers in.

‘Oh,’ but as I got closer, I found that he wasn’t holding anything besides a sword. Besides, the red eyes that look at me silently are a bit guarded ……

….Wait a minute, he isn’t a servant, isn’t he? Suddenly, I felt strange, and as I stopped walking, his red eyes that had only looked at me silently began to curve. The glamorous lips also went up drawing into a slight smile.

Oh, he looks better once he smiles. I asked without doubt, laughing after him who smiled at me.

“Who are you…”

“Servant”

“Ah?”

What, this guy. Saying you are a servant quiet rudely.

“Who are you?”

Ah, its because he does not know who I am.

“I am the owner of the castle, Lydia Odette. Are you a new servant?”

“Yeah”

“Hmm, but why did you come here……?”

“That, did you grow them?”

“What?”

What a bad habit.

I frowned a bit my eyebrows lowering but I decided to think nicely. He is probably a newcomer that got lost in the imperial palace and managed to find his way to this corner. His red eyes glanced around the Lily castle interestedly before returning to look at me.

“How?”

“Just did……”

I frowned and shrugged my shoulders. He is obviously a new servant, but I feel embarrassed because I am uselessly confident even though I am not.

‘Why is he unexpectedly asking about the flowers I grew?’

I looked at the bouquets in my hands. Although the flowers didn’t have a name I though they were pretty and that everyone would appreciate them. I came upon them by chance a few months ago, I was proud of myself when I found the buds and managed to grow a bunch and take care of the flowers.

Huh. I should just let this go; I don’t want to catch the attention of others by causing a disturbance over this kind of thing. Its not worth it after I’ve been living as quiet as a mouse these last 3 years. With a small sigh I quickly added as I remembered it late just in case the newcomer has not been tamed by the imperial castle and might go cause an incident with another concubine.

“Hey, I am the thirty third concubine of His Majesty, The Emperor. So you can’t talk to me rudely.”

“Hmm……”

He just stared at me with a smile on his face. I felt like he was ignoring me, but I am as generous as my beautiful appearance and I also was scared of making a fuss and catching the emperor’s attention, so I ignored it.

“Good. I need a new vase to put these flowers in, could you get me one in the warehouse? I dropped the last one and broke it last week.”

“……”

“Hello?”

‘Are you deaf? Why aren’t you saying anything?’

I waved my hand, but his red eyes were looking at the flowers in my hand. He started laughing and then made eye contact with me.

“Okay” His answered

Oh good. I can finally use a new vase. There you go! I am excited. I watched as he walked out of the Lilly Castle with long strides. Then I head to my room to trim the flowers with scissors and wait for my new vase.

“Lydia Odette, you have been invited to attend the imperial ball. Please prepare and attend on time.”

What came to me was not a new vase but a large invitation with a golden seal.

What, what is this?

I can’t say anything because I’m surprised. Then dozens of maids poured into the castle bringing in dresses, trinkets, and makeup. The quiet Lilly Castle has suddenly become noisy. I had lived quietly with no presence and succeeded in living, but what is this? I am confused but suddenly realize.

It was the dance where the heroine first meets the emperor. The party is to welcome the princess of the country that the emperor just subjugated in the war as a new concubine! Today, the emperor meets the princess with a good heart and falls in love with her at a glance.

Um, since this is the first new concubine in three years, are they inviting all the concubines to the ball? Was Lydia Odette present in that moment?

I was curious but stayed quiet as the maids moved quickly. But opened my mouth at a sudden thought.

“Oh my, Lady Odette you must not move, or you will ruin the makeup”

“Oh, I’m sorry.” I was secretly amazed by the maids who carefully painted my lips with a peach color.

That’s right! Tonight, in the novel, Lydia Odette is supposed to die! It’s a big deal. My memories of the past are fading because of the change in body.

It’s only been three years since I entered the novel, but I can’t remember the detailed plot. How much more, there is no way to know the life of a villain who hasn’t come in detail!

‘I’m going to go crazy.’

Am I really dying today?

I secretly shared my feet with the maids cleaning their hair while digging my mouth. The princess of the neighboring country, Yuri Sina, the heroine, captured the emperor’s heart at their first meeting and became lovers.

Its horrible. She is almost at the same level of captivity I am here destined to become another concubine but instead managed to become the empress.

But the problem is how did Lydia Odette upset the emperor? I can’t remember at all! It is all black, my brain erased this! What happens if I forget all the important things?

Besides, I’m not the original Lydia Odette. I don’t even know her personality because as soon as I came into this novel I was sent to the imperial castle where no one knows any different.

I discarded it.

So, in the current situation, there was no way to know if she had a big accident like grabbing Yuri Sina’s hair, or if she just accidentally stepped on the hem of her dress and caused a minor incident.

‘It’s not a big deal, but wasn’t the emperor runaway? He is a war fanatic, so he is extremely sensitive. Besides, how many months do you do if you are under the thirty-three concubine?’ If it’s a concubine in the tenth I do not know because they are the daughters of a high nobility.

However, the palaces of the thirty concubines, like me, are not powerful enough to burn all the necessities in the Imperial Palace because they had territory near the border in the first place, they became concubines from a noble family in the countryside. Thanks to that, I can live quietly in the corner.

I don’t want to go!

I really don’t want to go! But I couldn’t reject the invitation sent by the emperor.

The maids trim my sunset blonde and made it wave and they said “I heard that there are only two other concubines invited to the party today, but you’re really lucky! Lady Odette will be able to see His Majesty in person!” He is always on the battlefield, and I heard that he always wears a mask even when he is in the Imperial Palace because of the threat of assassination. No one knows what he looks like, except for his closest aide!

“Oh, I’m so envious!” Then you go! I cried and closed my eyes.

That’s it. Perhaps because she doesn’t know who the emperor is, Lydia must have bothered Yuri Sina without knowing that the emperor is watching. Oh, what should I do?  What if I suddenly make a mistake even though I’m careful? What if I torment Yuri Sina and I am cut down on the spot.

I don’t know if I can go back out of the novel, if I die here, but if I die, I really won’t be able to eat or anything. Should I try to fake a sickness because I am suddenly sick?

“Well, hey! I think my head hurts a little.”

“Oh, I guess this ruby was heavy. Then, I’ll redecorate your hair with flowers instead of jewelry. Renda, the rose?”

“Yes, here! After all, Lady Odette only uses high-quality jewelry, so I guess she is not familiar with such rubies. We don’t even know that but in the future, I will pay attention to it often.”

No, can’t we just forget it? I want to lose my presence! My eyes looked at the maids who were talking about this and that. The imperial maids should, in principle, listen to all the concubines and the emperor.  However, unlike the other concubines who manage their images by giving generous gifts to the maids to show them well, I lived quietly in the corner of the imperial palace.

Except for the attendants who deliver daily necessities in time, the maids who were suppose to help with grooming and cleaning have never been seen for three years except when they first came to the Imperial Palace. Thanks to me, I did all the small things myself. Cleaning, cooking, gardening. Well, thanks to that, I wasn’t going to get upset and I wasn’t involved in a power fight between concubines.  It was awkward to see the maids who tried to look so outrightly that they had received an invitation from the emperor without any interest for three years. That’s great too.

I was coughing at the feeling of sitting on a thorn cushion, and I was admired unknowingly when I saw my pretty reflection in the mirror of the dressing table. In a purple ornate dress matching my eye color, and my red blonde hair, gently drooping, was gathered behind the left ear and decorated with a red rose.

My face looked energized and decorated as much as possible to emphasize my beauty even more, and when sparkling cosmetics were sprinkled over the eyes, it was very bright whenever it was reflected in the light.

“Oh, how! We made it up, but it’s so beautiful!” The maids started trying hard to see if I was invited to the emperor’s own ball and thought there might be something more to me. What do I do? If I ride the carriage like this, you will be dragged to the ball without fail! Is an upset stomach the answer?

“His Majesty will fall in love at a glance! Rumor has it that His Majesty will execute anyone who violates the order, regardless of gender, but Lady Odette is beautiful, so it might be an exception.”

Curse it rather!

If I don’t go to the ball invited  when I was invited by the emperor, unless you’re the heroine, you will die of treason!

Note: Thank you everyone for your support! I am sorry to say but this is the last chapter for this series unless I raise enough money to buy the rest of the series. If everyone wants me to continue please donate to help raise money!!!!

“Lady Odette, we have arrived.”

The coachman and attendant from the imperial palace opened the door with a kind but hard voice. Swallowing me, I took the escort’s hand with a firm expression and stepped out of the wagon. The only way to be careful and careful is to be careful. Men should be avoided, and you shouldn’t approach Yuri Sina! Just stuck to the corner and leave as soon as the ball is over!

In the brightly lit dance venue, a beautiful melody was coming out. As I stood at the end of the long corridor and I swallowed my saliva as I watched the dazzling clothing through the open door. I felt like a cow being dragged into the slaughterhouse. Oh, I can’t. Let’s calm down a little and go in. I think I will faint if I continue like this.

“Can I get a little bit of air outside for a while?”

“Yes? Oh, it’s possible. There is a seating area on the terrace over there, so you can enter in time.”

Luckily, the main characters of this ball are the Emperor and Yuri Sina, seemed to have arrived. I nodded and walked the line, and I quickly walked to the place where the terrace is. From the back, the poem seemed to be bewildering, but what about! Even if you think about going in there, it seems to be choked and killed!

The gorgeous chandelier shimmered like snow, disappeared, and a quiet corridor emerged. Then, with a little relieved mind, I grabbed the hem of my dress and spun along the broken wall, when someone suddenly appeared.

“Oh!”

I was in a hurry to change direction while wearing high shoes, and I fell without a break. Luckily the terrace entrance was carpeted with soft and fluffy material.

“Shit!”

I heard the high soprano tone scream, I thought I had been struck, and at the same time I cried out and tried to apologize, but I forgot to breathe. The woman who rubbed her buttocks blinked and spoke first.

“Are you okay?”

Hyuk, that girl. Yuri Sina, the heroine of this novel!

A voice sweet like sugar cookies, pale pink hair resembling cotton candy, and blue eyes like a lake. She was so beautiful that her eyes were dazzling with flowers on her head. Those same flowers that are grown in my flowerbed. That flower, it was an unnamed flower here, but as I saw it as a decoration, it seems that it is from Yuri’s country. After all, there’s nothing ordinary about the heroine! But how much more prettier those flowers ……

I immediately understood how the princess of a small country, a prisoner of war, captured the emperor at a glance. I glanced at Yuri Sina arranging her simple but very elegant sky-colored dress and managed to come to my senses.

“Sorry, Sorry! I didn’t see you there, princess ……!”

What to do! Will I be able to survive this? Maybe no one saw what happened.

I quickly look around and fortunately no did. Everyone is heading to the ballroom. No one seems to be coming out to the terrace.

“How do you know who I am?” Yuri Sina asked with a calm smile covering her mouth as if surprised.

Seeing her pretty treasure like blue eyes narrow a bit in suspicion. I know you because I read a novel, you are a princess and a protagonist that will become the empress of this country in the future.

But I couldn’t tell her that, so I made an awkward expression.

“Oh, I am Lydia Odette, the thirty third concubine of His Majesty, The Great Emperor. I was invited to this party today. I heard some people talk about it that there was going to be a princess here. It is nice to meet you……!”

While I was lightly laughing my survival instincts started blaring.

That pretty face of Yuri Sina, that was used to make a gentle smile, narrowed her eyes for a moment before resetting.

‘……Huh?’

But when I blinked again, she nodded with a smile, as if it never happened.

“That’s right. Nice to meet you, too. I’m Yuri Sina, who will be the thirty-fourth concubine.”

As I tilted my head, I carefully grabbed her hand and shook it. I guess I’m just seeing things. There is no way such a well-educated heroine can frown at an extra concubine like me who has no presence.  Besides, don’t you remember that the heroine is also very good-natured?

“Yes! Let’s get along in the future, princess!”

“Of course, concubine Odette.”

Hehe, I shook my head quickly and brushed away my suspicions.

Yuri shouldn’t be offended by me at all. I have to live and be as innocent as possible.

“Um, could you stand up? I think I have to go in there ……”

“Oh, sorry!”

Realizing that that I had fell down on the hem of her dress, I got up off the floor quickly with an apologetic look. Fortunately, her dress is not as wide mine and it fit closely to the body, it hardly looked wrinkled from the fall. The dress is probably her country’s style.

“Then, I will go first. See you later.” Yuri Sina said to me.

“Ah, yes!”

I said with a bashful smile. Yuri Sina smiled and walked away gracefully.

“Wow, I lived.”

I don’t know if this was the same as the first meeting as the original, but it is fortunate that it ended well. Yuri Sina really is as gentle as her appearance. As I watched her walk away, I exhaled relieved and stepped onto the terrace. Now that Yuri Sina is here, the emperor will come soon, right? Before that, I should enter the ballroom. I will not be afraid to enter into the bloody battlefield.

Clank

What is that sound?

Looking down I saw at the tip of my toe, the flower that Yuri Sina had in her hair and a small glass bottle next to it. It might have fallen when we collided.

But what is this glass bottle?

There is a clear liquid inside the bottle the size of my thumb.

Is it medicine?

I bent down and picked it up and I saw that the entrance was tightly closed with a stopper.

Curiously, I opened the bottle and soon smelled a peculiar scent. Its like a warm floral scent, but I wanted to keep smelling it because it smelled attractive. Come to think of it, doesn’t this belong to Yuri Sina?

It smells like perfume. I will keep this and return this to her. Without thinking I tried to put the bottle in the thin pocket on the side of the dress but frowned because the bottle was a little cracked, perhaps because it fell, and the liquid was leaking through. Unintentionally the liquid leaked out onto my fingers and wrists and the scent came up.

I was amazed but lightly tried to rub the liquid off, but the liquid soaked into my skin, so I took out a piece of cloth and carefully wrapping it before putting it in my pocket.

The scent is good. The heroine seems to use an exceptionally good perfume. I didn’t know it but once the liquid soaked into my skin and reached body temperature the scent became even thicker.

I brushed off the hem of my dress, stood on the terrace for a while, and then turned around. Now it really is time to enter the dance venue. The surroundings were noticeably quiet when there isn’t a lot of people. I wonder how many people were invited at random to the event. The emperor couldn’t have known about me and called for me. Well, either way this won’t be fun. Although I lived without a presence, the feeling of being along was not a pleasant feeling. I turned around to leave the terrace with a sad sound when:

Bang!

My nose hit someone’s chest. I stepped back with a cry. What is with today?!

“Ah sorry”

“What are you doing here?”

I looked up rubbing my sore nose, making sure not to ruin my makeup when I saw red eyes that reflected the moonlight looking down at me. He had breathtakingly beautiful silver hair that shone in the moonlight and he is wearing an all-black uniform, he excluded elegance all over his body. When I looked up, holding the hem of my dress his lips bended and he started laughing. The laughter woke me up from my daze and crippled my impression of him. Why is he talking like that to me?

“What are you doing here?”

I’m not an evil concubine who wields power, but no matter how handsome you are, you are still a servant! Why do you keep being ruse? Besides, as it turns out, you ignored my request for a new vase.

“……I just came by?” He said after a moment of silence with a serious look on his face that erased the smile.

I had nothing to say to that, that I felt was acceptable so instead I folded my arms arrogantly and said.

“What about the vase?”

“What vase?”

“Ah, the vase I asked you about last time!”

Looking at the red eyes in front of me, it seems clear that he clearly forgot about it.

Are you ignoring me because I’m a forgotten concubine.

‘Ah’ as soon as I saw him nodding his head, I immediately decided that this was a foolish endeavor.

Aside from this since I don’t want to die, I decided I should go back into the venue.

However, it seemed the innocent servant had no intentions of doing so or seemed to be thinking to deeply at the moment, then he suddenly extended his long arms and pulled a long cylindrical instrument attached to the wall for decoration.

Pop!

“……Huh?”

He gave me the plucked decoration with a serious face before saying with a smile.

“You said you needed a vase. Use this?”

What?

“No….this is.”

I didn’t mean right now!

And although the instrument was in the shape of a cylinder similar to a vase, it was made of gold and had jewels attached to it. It wasn’t meant to be used as a vase.

Moreover, it was a decoration, so why take it off?

“This….This is not a vase. And if you do things like that you will get into trouble……”

“It’s okay. Who would notice that one corner of the terrace is missing?”

It’s embarrassing, but the attitude was so casual that it was strangely convincing. I took turns looking at the ripped instrument  and at him with a ridiculous face, and belatedly realized that if I made a mistake, I could be late for the ball.

Huh, no! My life! My precious neck!

“Yeah. Thank you, thank you! Then I’ll see you now, can you get out of here?”

Hey, this guy’s pack of luggage. I’m going to drop it in the hallway! Then, for some reason, with a regretful expression like a dog, he quietly stepped away. I glanced at him, who seemed to be a little short, and hurried to move my head.  That was the time when I dragged the hem of a rich dress and passed him by.

“What?”

I felt my wrist being grabbed and then my arm went up. I looked up at him, holding my wrist, with his eyes wide open. Eyes like the red sun were looking through me. Somehow, with a dull look than before.

The face, which looked like a sculpture, seemed to be subtly stiff rather than laughing. I was embarrassed enough even though I hadn’t figured out the situation yet, but there was something more problematic than that.

“Well, what, what are you doing!”

He, a young man who was in constant speaking, put his face on the inside of my wrist and sniffed it.

Oh ah, someone save me! Looks like this is a pervert!

Hiick!

I watched him inhale and with a frown appearing on his handsome face. He focused silently on my wrist, and he felt like a sleek and elegant hound, but he was so cool that I was dazed for a moment and then came to my senses.

“Hey, why won’t you let me go?!”

This pervert! From beginning to end! How dare you! In a voice mixed with embarrassment and anger, I clenched my fists with my other hand. If you don’t let me go and keep holding on to me, I thought I’d give you my name. Of course, I’ve never even learned self-defense! I gulped my saliva in tense tension, but he glanced at my grimy purple eyes, rolling his red eyes in wonder.

And asked.  “What is it?”

“Let me go!”

Why, why! I am so embarrassed in this moment, but I shouted, pointing to my wrist, and not missing the beat. Then he tilted his head to one side, saw my crumpled face, and gently let go of my wrist.

What is it? I stepped back and hid both hands behind me. It wasn’t painful because he wasn’t holding it hard, but it seemed a little weird to see that I caught it even though I knew I was a concubine.  And it’s not just catching, what do you smell it?! Maybe it’s medicine to avoid crazy guys.

I quickly looked back. He was very tall and slim, but his shoulders were wide. Besides, if the body covered by the clothes looks like a stone with a muscular shape, there is no way that I, being weak, will be able to win. In this case, it is best to run away.

“It smells good from you.”

“Ah……oh, thank you.” My face turned white, but I looked around roughly in case he would come closer, so I made a frightened look.  And as he hesitated and tried to move quickly, he suddenly threw out a word.

“How did you do it?”

“What?”

“Scent.”

Scent? Good scent? Are you talking about the perfume? Hiick, aren’t you really perverted? Why are you interested in women’s perfume? If I run away, I’m afraid I’ll be caught by you again like before, I noticed and swallowed. His eyes were pretty serious on a subject that wasn’t insane, his fine silver hair sparkling like a star, bloody eyes like ruby were looking at me in a hurry,I am confused and looked at him and somehow I couldn’t take my eyes off him.

I felt like I was captured by an obsessed beast ……

“Mo, I don’t know. The maids did the clothing! If you’re curious, ask yourself!”

It’s really a big feast. Feeling embarrassed by my voice that sounds like a fool for some reason, I hurriedly and carefully and carefully stepped back and forced a smile innocently. Luckily, he stood there with a blinking eye to see if he hadn’t noticed the strange feeling. Even though I keep getting a little farther apart… Okay, I can just continue like this!  It didn’t take long to implement what I decided to do.  It was the first time I knew I could be so quick.

In the blink of an eye, it was the moment when I was about to run through the entrance of the terrace and into the hallway leading to the ballroom.

“Kack!”

Grabbing the hem of my dress, I ran out like a squirrel, but my foot got caught by the instrument that fell on the floor. I completely forgot that I dropped it when he grabbed my wrist!

I started tumbling forward in a ridiculous manner and I knew that it was going to hurt when I fell.  I was amazed, as soon as the polished white marble got close, I closed my eyes tightly, but after a few seconds, I didn’t feel myself hitting the ground.

What? Why didn’t I fall? Far from being rounded on the hard floor, it seemed like my body was floating in the air. I carefully opened my closed eyes and looked around.  As soon as I opened my eyes, they meet his bloody red eyes. What is this?  Why does he look so close? I couldn’t understand the situation at the moment, and I was keeping in line with him in the middle of silence, and I soon realized. Am I now …… in his arms?

“My, put me down!”

My face burned as I struggled, I fell out of his arms, almost rolling to the floor.

What if I was heavy?  As you can see, you know the power of this situation, although it is embarrassing. If I was found in the arms of an outsider man, I’m going to a dungeon right now! No matter how powerless and without a name I am, concubines are concubines!

After struggling for three years, trying to live long and quietly will became a waste. I was scared, but unexpectedly, he gently let me down.  I took a breath of surprise with my eyes wide open.  Oh ah, but I have to say thank you, right?

“Oh, thank you. But you if you keep touching me….!”

“You fall so well originally?”

What are you talking about?

“Thank you for helping me not to fall over, but I was about to urge you not to tamper with me now.” I leaned back to his purely questionable question. He looked at me seriously and said seriously with his arms crossed.

“You stumbled when you got on and off the wagon,” I opened my mouth.

I wore high shoes, which I don’t usually wear, and I wasn’t used to riding in a carriage, so I stumbled slightly while being escorted before and when I got off. It’s rare for a well-educated noblewoman to do this, so the helper was puzzled, but how does he know this?

“You, you…..! Did you secretly watch what I was doing?”

Shamelessly, he nodded without hesitation. I was amazed and closed my mouth. Oh, ah, he was really a stalker who was slightly out of his mind! The problem was that I was off guard because he had a handsome face. There’s no way you can touch me!

“Don’t touch me! Or I will report it!”

It would be better to report him first than to be trapped in a dungeon because of rumors that she had cheated on an unjust affair! As I tried to stop him with two shaking hands, he approached her one step forward and made a confused expression. As if he had done nothing wrong. With a very innocent face as if there was nothing.

“Why are you touching a girl you don’t know like that? You are crazy! You aren’t ashamed?”

“I didn’t do anything.”

What?

I lost my words and opened my mouth. Is this person blatantly lying? Or did all the guys who are possessed by handsomeness pretend they didn’t know? Even in my eyes, who saw numerous celebrities in my previous life, this bloody son-in-law with mysterious silver hair was very handsome. In fact, it’s the best-looking guy I’ve ever seen, so it’s a bit harsh. But!

“Listen carefully. You shouldn’t touch others without permission! Besides, I’m a concubine, and you’re a servant. So, you shouldn’t just touch anyone carelessly!”

“Are you angry?”

“Of course! And don’t sniff me like before! Don’t sneak around and watch! That’s a huge excuse, okay?”

“…. yeah.”

Fortunately, he nodded softly at my end. I glanced again at his clumsy gaze that looked at me as if it were fun, and he said something weird again.

“If I can’t secretly see, what about you seeing up close?”

He knew that I hated it, and he stood up and asked me, with shining eyes. I shook my head violently, making an impression. Hey, that not something you can say! It makes it seem like I’m in the middle of an affair, and I’m advertising it. Even if there aren’t many people who come and go, there are some sayings that birds hear the words of the day and mice hear the words of the night!

“No!”

“Why?”

“Because you don’t deserve to be in introspection. Go to the castle where your master is!”

“I want to go to your castle and see you.”

“Why the hell am I curious! Are you a real pervert? And I told you not to talk to me!”

“Huh, it’s late!”

“Where?”

“Don’t follow me! Or I’ll get mad!”

It’s pretty and I don’t need anything. What I just heard was the unmistakable fanfare of the Emperor’s appearance. I rolled up the hem of my dress, took off my shoes, and held it in my arms, running out of the terrace like crazy and running through the hallway.

Fortunately, the Emperor’s arrival was exceedingly long, and I heard that he was walking late while playing a fanfare to move around. Of course, it is unlikely that there will be anyone looking for me, but if the concubine, who was supposed to attend, does not enter in time, there may be a fuss about me missing it. If you’re not lucky, they might misunderstand that you ran away from the Imperial Palace!

I hate such excessive attention!

I eagerly prayed for me to arrive before that, and I ran with superhuman strength like a track and field athlete who went to the Olympic finals. Panting, breathtaking!
