Chapter 1

Prologue

“Rachel.”

Oh, it was a sad voice. When he spoke in that kind of voice, it made me forget that the former was firm and angry. I agonized for a moment while biting my lips, but soon shook my head.

No matter how much I favor him, I can’t let this go.

I moved away from where I had stopped. Even if I walked fast, I couldn’t get away from him who had longer legs and a bigger stride than mine.

“Please, Rachel.”

He grabbed me by the shoulder after catching up. His expression was on the verge of tears after holding me so eagerly.

“Brother.”

I ended up calling him. I knew this would happen. I didn’t think I’d be able to get mad when looking at him.

His hair, which looks like the absence of stars on a clear night sky, fluttered in the wind.

Underneath his pitch-black hair, I could see glowing eyes that looked like melted gold was poured into them.

I could not look anywhere else when I met his eyes, which were even shinier than the surface of water.

Accurately noticing my slightly resigned facial expression, he carefully opened his mouth.

“It’s my fault. Forgive me.”

No, what are you begging for?

After a small sigh, I looked around and held his hand. I only pulled lightly, but he easily got dragged.

There were no people in the hallway because they were all in the banquet held at the imperial palace, but we still acted carefully.

No one knows when, who, or what they would hear.

Then I whispered with my lips close to his ear.

“Don’t throw gloves at the banquet hall from now on. Okay?”

“…..”

But he didn’t answer. He looked at me desperately as if at any approaching second he was ready to eat me.

My face was going to get pierced with how intensely he was staring. It’s your favorite part of me.

I got goosebumps because I stared at him in silence with his doll-like appearance staring back.

He wanted to caress my arm, so he tried to pull his hand out of my grip, but I gripped it harder.

“Brother.”

I called him again with a stern look on my face.

Only then did Lucian who looked at my face, let go of the hand he held as if he really didn’t want to let go.

He suddenly opened his mouth as he let his arms hang loose at his sides with his wandering hands.

The sorrowful voice he had a while ago had now changed to a cold voice.

“I can’t promise that.”

“……Brother?”

He had never disobeyed what I had said before, so I had no choice but to react one beat slower.

I was surprised and stopped moving while his hand caressed down my arm, he then held my hand again and gently raised the corners of his mouth.

It was his expression that I liked the most. He smiles softly at me with affectionate eyes.

However, contrary to his soft expression, the words coming out of his mouth were as sharp as a blade.

“I’m really offended by people who approach you recklessly. Actually, gloves aren’t enough. I should have continued all the way…”

Looking at him who wanted to say something more, but seemed to swallow the words, I unintentionally defended the young man who asked me for a dance.

You should not throw gloves at the banquet, a life or death duel is too much, and besides, I’m worried about your well being!

“But requesting a dance at a banquet is just a formality. They thought I came without a partner, so they just asked me for a dance. But as soon as I finished dancing, you suddenly threw gloves at them.”

“You’re stupid to think you’re here without a partner, Ray. Your partner is me.”

“……”

I couldn’t refute this part either. Of course I had to come without an official partner.

However, since I came with my family, It could be said that I did have him as my partner and dance as he said.

“You could dance with me.”

Lucian added carefully.

“Sigh…”

I breathed a long sigh.

Yeah. Could I ever win over him, my favorite, in an argument?

Especially if he shows me that kind of look. But that young man didn’t do anything wrong!

While I stared at him with his beautiful eyebrows pulled down in a pitiful look, I pulled his hand.

“Let’s go home, brother.”

Now that I’ve said this, I’m sure you understand that I’m wrapping this outing up.

He didn’t move when I was about to step away. So I tugged my hand slightly.

He needs to come to me if he’s going to behave like this.

But I couldn’t get him to listen this time. Rather, I was yanked back by him because he used a little strength.

At the same time, the heels I was wearing were so unstable that I felt like I was going to hit my face on his chest.

But before I hit my forehead on his hard chest, he naturally wrapped an arm around my waist.

As smooth as a dance.

Lucian put my hand around his neck and looked down at me with a calm gaze.

He looked so handsome no matter how many times I looked at him. I was ashamed that I could feel my cheeks reddening, so I tried to get away from him.

But I couldn’t.

After he put more force on his arm around my waist, I lowered my head. His soft hair tickled my neck.

No wonder I was accompanied by a breezy feeling around my body.

“…Rachel.”

Sometimes his voice sounded like a cold winter. I’m sure his eyes are as warm as spring.

“Yes, brother.”

“Don’t dance with another man again.”

“I’ll think about it.”

Shouldn’t I get married someday? To do that, I should dance with other men.

As if he didn’t hear my answer, he naturally turned the subject around.

“Until when will you call me brother?”

“What would I call you instead brother if I shouldn’t call you that?”

As if he had heard a joke when I answered he let out a small burst of laughter and then I looked up.

He moved his face closer to mine.

His eyes were bright like a brilliant full moon floating in the dark night sky, so I thought I would be possessed without realizing it.

“You and I are not blood related .”

Ah……my favorite. Why are you hitting my sore spot all of a sudden?

I had been adopted by the duke, but Lucian was dissatisfied with that decision.

How nice was this sister to you?

When I looked at him with a very sad look, he asked in a begging voice.

“Call my name.”

I always call you by your first name…

I don’t know why you keep asking me to call you by your name these days.

Well, there’s no one around, so should I just give in?

I purposely called it out in a small voice with a bright expression.

“Lucian?”

“One more time.”

“Lucian.”

While I was still blankly calling him by his first name, he suddenly smiled brightly.

My heart thumped so hard when I saw that expression that I’ve never seen before.

Because I always wanted him to be happy like that.

His arm, which was still wrapped around my waist, pulled me closer. Leaning heavily on his chest, I felt suffocated and tapped him on the back.

Why do you like it so much when I call your name? Do you want me to say it often?

I was delighted by his reaction and thought of doing that often to please him, but I didn’t see what kind of expression he was making.

I didn’t know at this time that he would be lovingly brushing his fingers through my hair while holding me close.

Where on earth did I go wrong?

Chapter 1 – I Possessed an Extra in a Romance Fantasy Story?

There were three major turning points in my life.

At the third turning point, I read web novels and webtoons like crazy.

Like I was running away. Tired of living in reality, my mind has been sent elsewhere and locked myself away from society.

Then one day, I opened my eyes and found myself as a little girl in a cute dress.

My gloomy and dazed spirit gradually faded as I faced a new world.

This is what they called Possession!

Dismissing it as a dream, I enjoyed my life without thinking.

On top of that, I devoured the affection that the sweet parents of my possessed body gave me.

Even if it wasn’t affection meant for me, I wasn’t disappointed.

When I desperately wanted this situation to continue forever, I got the news as suddenly as before.

My parents had passed away. Because I was in a situation similar to my previous life, I returned to isolation again.

In such a short period of time, I never expected my uncle to come over to my family’s estate.

Even if my uncle was Count Narrum and his family, I could not do anything but watch.

Despite my sorrow, I soon came to my senses, but the situation was already out of my control.

I wanted to escape again, and I was already running away from something, but when I was thinking about how to get out of here, someone came for me.

It was the Duke himself, a high aristocrat of the Empire.

The Duke said, while he was looking at me with sorrowful eyes.

“I’m… your godfather.”

I didn’t know about the existence of my godfather. I didn’t know a lot about the world I was now living in, but I didn’t want to miss this chance.

All I wanted was to escape.

After following him I found out which novel I have been living in.

The bright sun briefly hid behind the clouds, and I could see the face of the boy who came out to meet me.

He had long eyebrows, and big eyes, and his irises peeking out below his long eyelashes glowed like gold.

His nose bridge is sleek and high, and his face was pale and white, but his red lips showed that he was alive.

His appearance itself was very colorful and bright, but his expression and eyes were numb.

This contrast made the boy’s aura look mysterious.

Finally, after wiping away the tears right under my eyes, I came to my senses.

I knew the boy in front of me very well.

《There is another doll that lives in the dollhouse》

The BL Webtoon I read just before I was sent here.

It was the only work that I wrote malicious comments on while reading web novels and webtoons for three years.

Nevertheless, the reason why I had to love this novel is because of this boy, someone who would be swallowed up by regret.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Chapter 2

“My Lord, you were out here after all.”

I managed to take my eyes off the boy because of what the Duke’s aide said. But the beautiful child made such a strong impression that I couldn’t easily look away from him.

His black hair and golden eyes shone brilliantly as if they were being burned onto my mind.

“Lucian.”

The Duke called the boy with a terrible, cold voice, unlike when he called me. I barely felt like I could even breathe in the heavy atmosphere.

“Yes, Father.”

“Why are you out here?”

The boy raised his head and spoke right after he bowed his head.

He stared at me, not at my new father, the Duke, and responded.

“I heard my sister was coming.”

“……hmm.”

In response to the boy’s words, the duke nasally asked him if he liked this situation.

“It’s been a while since you’ve done something you like. Yeah, I’ve been waiting for you all this way, so I’ll introduce you.”

What? You weren’t even going to introduce me?

I had no choice but to look down at the boy because the duke was holding me in his arms.

I caught my eyes on my dry wrist.

“This is Rachel de Elrand, who will be staying at our house in the future. She’s going to be Rachel De Leon soon enough.

Leon, you say?

Is this really the Leon that I know?

No, wait a second.

I was so astonished that I looked back at the duke with late recognition in my eyes. He stared piercingly back at me.

“You really look alike.”

Who the hell do I look like?

I knew the duke kept glancing at me while we were riding in the carriage, and I was wondering what he was thinking about when he was doing that.

I was curious about why he, a high aristocrat, became my godfather, but who does the Duke think of when he is looking at me?

For your information, my body in this life resembles my father and mother evenly.

My emerald green hair, which looks like jewels in bright sunlight, was inherited from my father, and my dark blue eyes that resemble the night sky shortly after sunset were from my mother.

The Duke told me with his eyes moistened with memories.

“As a godfather, I will take responsibility for you, so don’t hesitate to tell me what you want to do or have. Everything in this estate is as good as yours.”

Wow, is my godfather that incredible? Is this situation just like in the ones in movies, where the godfather is super kind?

“You are Liam’s child. That means you are like my own child.”

My curiosity was quickly resolved, and that reduced my worries.

The Duke gently swept my hair out of my face while he continued to stare and my face reddened from embarrassment.

I ended up catching the Duke’s expression when he said my father’s name.

His eyes, which were mixed with a strange longing and madness, turned to me. But he wasn’t really looking at me.

I was observing the Duke who was busy projecting my father’s image onto me.

I could see how much he loved my father just by the hand that kept caressing my face.

Oh, this is the BL webtoon, “There is another doll that lives in the dollhouse”. Now I remember.

There were already some BL couples, starting with some of the fathers.

The Duke’s attitude and words made me feel more comfortable since I remembered the webtoon now.

Before coming here, I feel like I lived my life walking on an ice covered lake and only taking careful steps.

It was no different from when I read web novels and webtoons like crazy to escape from reality in my first life.

However, now I know that I have transmigrated into a character in a BL Webtoon that I have read before, and my favorite character has appeared right in front of me.

It was at this moment when I realized the significance of my new life.

I alternated between looking at the kid, who was still looking at me, and the Duke who was still standing nonchalantly without saying a single word.

My eyes met with the boy’s golden eyes that were as bright and cold as ice.

Lucian de Leon.

My favorite.

This older sister will help you, without fail.

~+~

The place where the Duke took me first was, what would be from now on my room. It was quite vast and colorful.

I organized my thoughts while lying on the big, colorful bed that occupied a corner.

《In-to-In》, which was serialized over the years, became very popular under 《Another Doll Lives in the Dollhouse.》

It was popular even if the sections of angst and pain were long.

The reason was Lucian, who I saw just now and plays the role of the “Duke” character.

Lucian was a prince with an unfortunate past. His poor past began with the abuse that was inflicted by his father.

Yes, the very Duke who brought me here!

Pedro de Leon.

Nevertheless, he could not speak ill of Pedro.

Because he was also abused by his father when he was a child.

To explain the situation quickly it looks like this.

Pedro was the successor to this promising duchy.

If he needed to pick up a sword, then he would as ordered. In addition, as a high-ranking aristocrat, he was full of elegance and manners even as a young man.

There was only ever one scandal about him.

That he was not interested in women.

It wasn’t that he hated women, but he hated the scent of women’s perfume.

Pedro thought that his condition was strange, but he thought it was only an insignificant problem.

He just thought he had an extremely sensitive nose, and that it could be considered a weakness, so he thought it would be better not to let anyone know.

But the day Pedro turned 15, he met my father.

Liam de Elrand.

He was a beautiful boy with emerald hair and navy blue eyes like mine.

Pedro fell in love with Liam at first sight. It was the first time that his heart had beat so fast while looking at someone, so it made him realize what type of person he had actually been searching for.

‘Oh, this is the man I wanted.’

Pedro wasn’t the only one who fell in love that day. My father also fell in love with the Duke at first sight.

The two began to develop their love while disguising it as friendship.

However, if there is smoke, people start looking for fire.

The fact that Pedro’s father was the one who noticed the strange atmosphere of the two was the start of their misfortune.

At the age of 17, Pedro and Liam, who had been passionately kissing in the former’s chambers, were caught when his Father walked in at the sounds of their trist.

He was very shocked when his father, who always looked at him with gentle eyes, stared at him with contempt and disgust.

From then on, the duke’s father ruled the duchy with an iron fist.

He administered beatings under the guise of discipline to mental abuse Pedro.

Unable to accept the fact that his son was homosexual, the duke pushed him to the limit.

In the end, Pedro married someone that was chosen by his father.

He blames himself for betraying Liam, but he was forced to ignore his feelings.

He left his heart and love behind and waited for his successor to be born.

He wanted to respect his wife and be a loving father to his child even though he could not give his heart to her.

He resolved himself to be a better father than his own.

However, the duke failed to keep his promise. As soon as he saw the child’s face, his inner resentment filled him up.

The features of the child that had been born resembled, not him or his wife, but his father.

“Ha, I feel sorry for my favorite again.”

When I thought of the backstory to the webtoon, I sighed deeply. “Haaa” it just naturally came out of me.

However, it is also unfair to curse the Duke without understanding his situation.

The duke was also abused, but that does not mean that what he did to Lucian was justifiable.

“It’s too complicated…”

The biggest problem here is that I am the younger sister in 《In-to-In》.

In the original book, Rachel grows up to be the villainess.

You can tell just by looking at the Duke’s attitude towards me.

Having raised her like that, Rachel openly ignores and despises Lucian, her brother.

But in fact, she wanted to obtain Lucian for herself.

Lucian is beautiful to look at in his normal state. However, when he smiled, he was as pure and beautiful as a seductive black rose blooming fully.

Because she wanted to get her hands on the noble black rose dusted with golden powder, Rachel bullied Lucian and hoped she would be able to subjugate him.

Even if he had never expressed his feelings, if Lucian were to speak about the subject, Rachel is the most annoying person in the whole world and the one he hates the most.

Rachel, who knew nothing about his feelings, became even more obsessed with him after the Duke, who was her reliable backer, died later on.

By that time, Lucian was already interested in another main character, Sue.

[E/N: Sue is a guy because it was a BL novel but the name makes it confusing]

He was not aware of his feelings, but could not control his jealousy when Sue was looking at anyone else.

“Oh, what should I do?”

Of course, I also feel sorry for Sue, who is the other main character, but it isn’t urgent as of right now.

The most urgent thing is the happiness of my favorite and my own ending.

In the original story, Rachel eventually dies because of Lucian. I saw a scene in which Rachel was killed while holding a sword on her own.

But I kept thinking about my skinny wrist from before.

knock, knock

I jumped out of bed due to the sudden knock. I wondered if the Duke was outside the door.

I answered politely, while quickly fixing my clothes.

“Yes, come on in.”

When a maid opened the door and came in, she greeted me politely.

“Lady, my name is Amber. I was assigned to work as your personal maid. If you have questions or need anything, you can call for me.”

“Nice to meet you, Amber.”

“Are you hungry?”

Hearing that from her, I suddenly felt hungry. Come to think of it, my father, the Duke, didn’t give me anything to eat yet.

“Well, a little?”

I thought my stomach would stick to my back, but in this life, I am a noble Young Lady.

I could never covet food. After a year and a half of living in this body I was taught to think this way and it made me like this.

“The Duke has prepared a large dinner for tonight. I’ll give you some refreshments and tea to suppress your hunger.”

“Okay.”

“Well, just a moment, please.”

Amber left the room with a polite greeting. I sat on the sofa as the sound of her steps faded away.

I needed to think about what to do in the future, what to do to help my favorite, and what I could do to live a good, long life.

Then I suddenly recalled a small detail from my first life. This is the only webtoon or novel that I’ve ever written a negative comment on.

Oh, no way.

“Don’t tell me I possessed this body because of my one angry comment, right?”

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Chapter 3

It can’t be true right…

Why did I leave a malicious comment?

“But it’s not a good ending! I was criticizing it because it was so sad! I’m sure all the readers agree with me. Was it not enough to kill off just one person? Why would they kill both the duke and Sue? You think I’ve been reading this novel for three years to receive this kind of ending?”

I thought about it so hard and got so angry, I got a fever.

Every time it was updated, I read the chapters over and over without skipping any single bit. I also wrote good comments filled with positive encouragement every time.

[e/n: when the MC was talking about sweet potatoes she was basically asking for more overly sweet situations between the characters that make her mouth go dry, like eating sweet potatoes]

“Huh? I wrote over 100 sweet comments! But I only wrote a single malicious comment, and then…if that’s the case….”

It’s not that bad I guess.

It was a sudden transmigration, but I didn’t feel nervous. The problem is that this webtoon has a sad ending.

And I know the ending for the duke, too.

The life of the free-spirited transmigrated person, whose actions weren’t really important, is now over. I just want to live carefreely, so I don’t want to die yet.

I just want to live and be happy.

In addition, I now live with my favorite character.

When I calmed down my racing mind for a while, I felt like I could see a way out of this dismal situation.

knock, knock

I calmly collected myself and fixed my posture by the time I heard the second knock.

“Come on in, Amber.”

Of course, I thought Amber would come in, but I closed my eyes tightly when a formidable and colorful figure entered the fancy room.

Oh, it’s blinding.

“I’d like to talk to you for a moment…”

Yes, we can as much as my favorite wants.

“Yes, yes, please.”

It was Lucian who came suddenly, but I was glad rather than surprised. I offered him a seat with a bright smile without realizing it.

Surprised by the warm reception, Lucian squinted his eyes slightly with an expressionless face.

Lucian sat across from me.

That alone impressed me.

I didn’t expect to see my favorite in person so soon.

Pretty boy Lucian! I love you, Lucian!

I felt so happy it was like I was flying, I felt a tingling of excitement rising up from my toes.

Then Amber came back to the room.

“Lady…”

Amber, who was pushing in the trolley piled high with refreshments and tea, looked surprised when she saw Lucian.

“M-Master.”

“Just a moment.”

Why are you so surprised to see Lucian? An unpleasant feeling crept up in the back of my heart.

“Amber, can you get me another cup of tea?”

“But my lady…”

“I heard that Amber is my own personal maid, but you’re already going to disobey me?”

Amber’s expression changed when my stern words reached her ears.

Since it’s your first day spying on me, you probably haven’t figured out my personality or temperament.

So you will have no choice but to listen to me.

There are more aristocrats with violent personalities than I originally thought.

“Please wait a moment.”

Right after she put down the colorful refreshments, a cup of tea, and a teapot, Amber hurried out of the room.

“Brother, eat and drink first.”

When I offered it to him, Lucian, who turned his attention to the refreshments and teacup, shook his head slowly.

“I can’t eat it.”

“How come?”

“It’s not time for me to eat.”

I opened my mouth wide at Lucian’s words.

It’s upsetting that he only eats when others deem that it is appropriate, it’s not like he’s in the army.

He is only fifteen years old. My favorite. Even if I am 10 years old now, I was originally 25 years old you know.

So in my eyes, Lucian looks much younger even when he is older than me in this life.

At this moment, I felt the strings of fate tugging at me. I should change the ending of this webtoon. I must have possessed this body for the sake of saving my favorite.

Do you know how much comfort I received from you in the past? Even now your very existence is comforting enough for me. So now it’s my turn, I will comfort you this time.

I declared war on the webtoon writer by saying something I couldn’t say to him before.

Writer. We need to change the setting. I can’t see my favorite dying in vain from living a life full of ‘regret.’

I wish he could grow up to be a normal person who knows how to identify joy and sorrow instead of growing up numb and insensitive to everything.

I want to live as well and escape my fate too.

So, since I possessed this body, I should take care of my favorite first and foremost.

Oh, I’m so sad.

First of all, to confirm the progress of the timeline of the story, Lucian doesn’t seem to be completely jaded yet.

He mentioned his age. He’s currently 15 years old. He is still immature, and he seems to want to gain his father’s affection still.

Even if he is being hated now, he believed that someday his father would recognize and love him. That’s why me being his sister, that obviously doesn’t have any blood relation to him, I openly accepted him.

Because his father brought me here in person.

I felt so sorry for him who did not even question his father’s actions.

Whether it’s the original timeline or whatever, I should feed my favorite character some food first.

What’s with his wrist? Normally, everything should be big and thick, but only his hands are big and dry.

“Brother, do you have a specific time that you usually eat at?”

First, collect information. I know everything about my favorite. However, these details did not appear in the original book.

“Yes, I live on a consistent schedule.”

It’s driving me crazy. I already knew how harsh that schedule is because it was mentioned in the original novel. Under the name of successor education, he is being severely abused and reprimanded.

He wakes up at dawn and trains alone in the training yard. The training doesn’t end when he starts to sweat moderately either it only ends when he is absolutely soaked in sweat. Then when he finally finishes everyday he has to roll up the legs of his pants so he can receive lashes with a ruler on the backs of his legs.

The Duke uses the ridiculous excuse of saying that he is raising his child with strict discipline, and Lucian accepts the abuse under the guise of discipline without complaint.

That’s why he’s so mentally scarred in the future.

No one in this house has told him that this treatment is weird, so Lucian doesn’t know.

“Then brother.”

The plan to help Lucian starts now.

Does he know about the Plan A and Plan B strategy?

“Have you ever heard of having a back up plan to make things safer for you?”

“A back up plan?”

There was very little emotion in his expression, but I could see that his eyes got a little bigger out of interest.

“Yes! An original plan and a secondary plan to switch to if the first one goes wrong!”

Lucian blinked slowly at my words.

It seems that it is the first time he has heard of that.

Of course. Who would tell him this stuff?

But Lucian. A person should think of making a plan B as well when making their plan A. That’s the only way we can safely avoid the bad end.

“I didn’t know about that.”

I quickly added after hearing his slightly depressed voice.

“You can make a plan like that from now on!”

Be cheerful! Act cute!

Give him positive energy!

“If we adjust your schedule so you can come again, just like today, would you be willing to spend tea time with me from now on?”

“…but I can’t change it right now. I need permission from the people who decide my schedule first.”

Yeah, I knew you’d say that. But this sister wants to feed you something nice!

“But I don’t want to have tea time alone! I’ve always spent time with my parents…”

Oh, while thinking about the parents I had here, I felt like I was going to cry.

I don’t know what happened to their real daughter, the real Rachel’s soul, but with their infinite affection, I filled my thirst for the familial love that I had never experienced before that.

Before I had possessed this body, I was alone, so I was constantly hanging around my new family. No, can I even call them “my” family?

“You’re my family now. So please spend tea time with me.”

I will be your family for a little while. Of course, I want to drink tea with my favorite before I help you find your future love, but I hope this man will be happier even before that.

I hope you realize your love is just late and don’t feel drowned by regret.

I wish you would grow up to be a person that listens to their feelings, and not just someone who acts like a doll.

Did you feel my desperation? He is still mostly expressionless, but Lucian showed some positive signs of acceptance.

“Thank you, brother!”

Amber came back carrying a teacup with good timing.

I smiled brightly, and said, after ordering her to pour the tea.

“Let’s always be together, brother!”

I spoke from the bottom of my heart. Lucian even showed a slight smile for the first time.

The plan for changing the tragedy tag to something better is off to a smooth start.

Lucian, who came out of the overly fancy tea room, returned to his room with graceful but quick steps.

He sat quietly on the window on the far side of his desolate room.

“I was expecting for her to be an immature little girl…”

He seemed to have understood his position in her plans right away. So she’s demanding that we will have tea time together.

“Of course you thought I couldn’t possibly refuse.”

He didn’t know where he fits in the hierarchy in this house. Even if he is the successor, the owner of the house won’t recognize his legitimacy and effort.

Therefore, he was very curious about the personality of the new child. He was interested because his father went out of his way to retrieve her himself, and in such a great hurry at that. It was also the first time he had seen any sorrow on his father’s face.

He couldn’t fathom his father’s reaction, so he was waiting for him in advance, but he thought he made the right decision to wait. He waited in the sun, but it wasn’t hard. He is just a little nervous and giddy.

If he hadn’t done that, his father would never have shown him that child willingly.

Even if she’s a sister who will soon have the same last name as him.

Lucian swept his mouth with his tongue.

The fragrant tea and sweet desserts he shared with the child earlier had left an unpleasant taste in his mouth.

Lucian laughed a little.

During tea time, he had cleverly thought of the excuse to blame his unwillingness to eat on his schedule. Of course, it was true that if he didn’t move according to his schedule, he would be severely scolded by his father.

He also didn’t see the point in eating more food since he was still thin even if he ate a lot. However, Lucian couldn’t stop thinking about the tea time he had with the child.

He concluded that it is probably because it was the first time he had eaten something with someone.

Leaning against the window, he murmured some thoughts under his breath before he got up to complete the next item on his schedule.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
