“I say again, I was the first who applied myself as a partner with Yerine. And she definitely said she would dance with me. So you guys have no business here.”

No, I definitely don’t remember saying I’d dance with you.

“What are you talking about? She never said that.”

said the man in a neat black tuxedo, wiping his silver hair.

“Hey, don’t dance so stupidly and trample people’s feet, just follow me. I’ll teach you.”

I’m sorry, but I don’t need it.

Then the woman with red hair pulled my arm and said,

“I’m sorry, but Yerine said she doesn’t like dancing. So, we were about to go and eat a delicious dessert.”

Why is everyone deciding my schedule without even consulting with me?

Because of the three conspicuous looks and their significance, all eyes were on this side.

“Oh, they’re fighting again?”

“It’s been a long day, and they are still not tired.”

“By the way, doesn’t Miss Yerine look pretty today?”

“That’s right, the performance earlier was so cool and…..”

Regardless of the other, the three men were growling at each other, emitting sparks from their eyes.

“Can’t you see people waiting? Let Yerine go quickly and you guys can find another partner.”

The silver-haired man said, pulling my other arm towards him.

But the other two couldn’t have remained still.

“No, Spade feels uncomfortable dancing with you. You’re talking nonsense again!”

“That’s right! Yerine said she wouldn’t dance and would walk with me!”

“Stop it you both, Yerine has a troubled look on her face.”

As time went by, the sound of three people fighting grew louder than the sound of the band playing, and the conductor began to frown.

Moreover, the place where the three of them fought around me, was in the middle of the ballroom, right in the centre.

As the fight grew more intense, the three began to stare at each other with combat readiness, and the people who were dancing looked around with anxious eyes.

“Okay. To bring this matter to a conclusion, let’s duel…..”

At that moment, a small spark rose in the air, and the three people, who were biting and tearing at each other like a flock of dogs, finally stopped moving.

“Stop that.”

I tried hard to quell my boiling anger and said.

“Will you all get out of here?”

All of you should get out, so others can live well without dying!

***

Jaakko–

“Who brought you up and raised you, you bitch? Someone who had nowhere to go, how dare you to look at me like that?”

At the sharp hissing sound scratching my ears, I opened my eyes.

When I came to my senses, a woman with grey hair and dark makeup was looking at me with fire in her eyes.

I felt the heat in my tingling cheeks and realized that I had been hit by the woman.

The problem is that I have no idea who this woman is and why I’m being hit.

“You’re so useless!”

The woman pointed at me with her fat fingers and shouted.

I don’t understand the situation in itself, but the woman’s whereabouts were all the more spectacular.

A rich dress is worn by the old Western aristocrat as seen in the movie.

I didn’t know where to look, as the woman’s clothes were covered with colourful lace and all kinds of glittering ornaments.

Besides, why is this crazy woman, who I never have seen before in my life, standing in front of me in a costume, screaming?

“Uh…?”

I didn’t even know a thing.

I’m sure I fell off the veranda and died, but why would a strange woman come out of nowhere and slap me in the face?

“Huh? Did you just say, uh? You don’t listen to people, do you?”

With the words, the woman has just begun to scowl at me looking more frightening than before.

I recognised another fear from falling off the veranda, at the sight of her raising her huge hand with her eyes lifted, I instinctively backed away.

But as soon as I stepped back, something hit the back of my knee, and soon fell to the scary woman.

With the sensation of the knee hitting the hard stone floor, the tangled violet hair poured before my eyes, blocking my view.

“Haha! You can’t avoid that kind of thing properly? That’s pathetic.”

Surprised by the sudden voice, I saw a boy with freckles on his cheek standing proudly with his arms folded.

‘What the hell’s he doing?’

The boy’s twisting and giggling on one side of his lips was really like a little devil.

At first glance, he seems young, but his temper was no joke.

By the way, what do you mean, avoid it?

I held my hazy head as I tried to lift myself from the ground.

Then the boy, whom I met eyes with, grinned, snapped his fingers and bounced.

Surprisingly, something hit my forehead strongly at the moment.

“Argh!”

As I sat there screaming, the boy giggled again and talked to a woman who had not moved at all until then.

“Mom, look at her, isn’t it really exciting? With her ugly face, she should have done better with magic.”

‘What’s wrong this bastard?’

All kinds of curses came up to the end and tickled my throat, but for now, I endured it.

Because the word ‘magic’ that he is talking about was very annoying.

“Fernand, get in there. It’s no good to associate with something like that kind of thing.”

Magic?

What he said earlier is magic. Is this world with magic?.

I shook off my clothes in silence and stood up from the ground, glared at the boy, thinking I should keep my head on edge.

Only then did I see the scenery in the room with an antique atmosphere like the castle of an old nobleman.

“No, does it make sense that the famous Spade native can’t do magic? If she had not been born, the family wouldn’t have been destroyed.”

“Fernand.”

The woman’s gaze at the little boy was unusual.

The woman didn’t say anything, but the meaning of “shut your mouth right now” was so clear to me that I looked at the boy.

The boy, who saw the eyes, hardened and couldn’t bring up another word.

The boy, who was looking around, turned to the corner and disappeared far away, and the woman’s gaze, who had been watching him until then, turned back to me.

“Get out of here, too.”

She threw such an intense remark and trudged away to the other side of the hall.

Left in the middle of the hall, I looked around and tried to grasp the situation.

‘Spade? I’m sure I’ve heard it somewhere.’

Only then did the novel that I read a few months ago went through my mind.

“Ah!”

A world in which all power is determined by mana and magic skills. There’s no person who could not use magic in that world at all.

And shaggy purple hair.

When I thought about it up to there, memories of this castle, which had never occurred before, flowed into my head.

The legs moved first before I even realized. Although it was certainly a place I had never been to before, I noticed familiar sights from time to time as I walked along the corridor.

It’s as if some of someone else’s memories showed up into my head.

Relying on the fragmentary memory, I climbed numerous stairs and stood in front of the high spire’s corrugated chamber, and suddenly a name came to my mind.

“Yerine Spade.”

That was the name of this body’s owner.

Unfortunately, it was the name of the villain who dies trying to undermine the heroine who is loved by everyone also because she is angry at the fact that she cannot use her mana at all.

“I’m doomed…”

That was the first sound that could be heard in the room.

I can’t believe I’ve been possessed by a terrible person who’s going to die miserably. It’s just the same as being dead, then alive, and dead again.

An ugly villain who even hides her face with her shaggy hair, which everyone hates.

“I’ll have a hard time…”

In the Tigris Empire, the setting in the novel, as I said earlier, mana and magic skills are the power to live. It was obvious that Yerine’s life, who could not use magic at all in such a place, would fall into the gutter.

As I lay in a small bed in the corner of my room, I saw a ceiling made of stone.

From the small window on the wall, the room was cool with the cold wind.

“Oh, my God……this is really cold.”

Do I have to keep going like this? I don’t like this.

‘I wouldn’t know if I were just a supporting character, but if I were a villain, I couldn’t even meet my favourite heroine……’.

The heroine of the novel, Erica Blothea, was a cute girl with pink hair. As soon as I saw the cover of the novel, I knew Erica would be my favourite.

In addition, the early timid and cute appearance stimulated my protective instinct.

Since then, I’ve completely fallen for Erica’s unexpected charm in the second half, recovering confidence and courageously moving forward, and Erica had overtaken the handsome Male Lead and become my favourite in my heart.

‘But what can I do?…as long as I’m a villain, I can’t even stay on good terms with Erica.’

If I get involved, I might die like the original, so if I see it, I’ll just have to look at her from a distance.

As I lay still thinking so senselessly, I felt my vision was quite strange.

As if one side was blocked.

Only then did I notice that something like cloth was covering my left eye.

“What is this…”

When I touched around my eyes, I felt something like a string.

“It’s like an eye patch…….”

I guess she was trying to cover her left eye while she was walking around with her long hair.

‘Cause your eyes are all slanted, right?’

The memory of Yerine did not fully return, and the novel did not mention her left eye, so it was hard to know.

As I stood up from my bed and looked around, I saw a square mirror attached to one wall.

As I stood before it, I saw the grim figure of Yerine, with her hair hanging down like a lion’s mane.

“The hair colour is fine, but…..”

In fact, even if she brushed it every day and cut it in moderation, it wouldn’t be this bad.

I felt a bit sorry for her being treated so badly.

“What the hell does she look like……”

The moment I lifted my bangs to untie the eye patch pressing my left eye, I had no choice but to open my mouth and look in the mirror.

“What, what’s this?…”

Yerine’s face, with her forehead wide open, was really pretty.

A violet eye, as shiny as a jewel, with snow-white skin. And with a long nose and long eyelashes.

It was a beauty of a slightly sharp and dark-looking figure. It wasn’t my favourite face, but it was really pretty from an objective point of view.

Except for the rest of the face which was covered up with an eyepatch.

“No… …why did she cover this up?”

The moment I untied the tight black eye patch, I stepped back with a shudder.

I could immediately see why Yerine covered her left eye.

“Red eyes…..”

Yerine’s left eye was really emitting a strange red glow.

In fact, it was a colour that was naturally hard to find in human eyes.

Not only was it just red, but it came close to the mirror, gazing at the pupil of the eyes, which radiated like a blazing flame.

“Well……but…..”

Thanks to the red eyes, I felt that Yerine’s impression was much sharper than when she covered her one eye.

But the thing is,

“She is still pretty…..?”

Even with her red eyes, Yerine was still pretty.

And the glowing eye was sharp, but at the same time, it had a mysterious charm.

“You’ve been hiding your face like this.’

Hmm. I don’t know what people here are going to think, but I think this face will help us find a decent living.

Something that doesn’t require magic.

At a time when I was pondering while overlooking in the mirror alone, I heard a man’s thick and low voice with a knock on the door.

“Yerine, I’m coming in.”

For a moment, I was panicked and couldn’t turn my head.

And less than a second after the voice was heard, the door creaked open.

Soon, a man with a fluttering blonde and blue eyes stood on the doorstep, reflected in the mirror.

The man in the best suit who could be counted as one of the male protagonists.

‘There was a character like that…?’

If he had such a good appearance, he would have to serve as the Male Lead.

But no matter how much I looked through my memory, I couldn’t remember anything about the character at all.

As he walked toward me with a smile on his face, he began to chatter with a sweet voice with a bright smile on his face.

“Yerine, did you sleep well? Did anything happen today?”

“Huh? Yeah…”

Still turned my back from him and answered silently.

I didn’t know who he was yet, so I didn’t know how to respond.

“That’s good.”

That’s what he said, hugging my stiff shoulder and whispering in my ear.

“I missed you, Yerine.”

‘What the hell is he…..?’

I know, I must have been an unloved villain extra.

So, who the hell is this guy who talks like he likes me?

Ex….cu…”

I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t spit out a complete sentence.

For now, the priority for me was to calm down.

“Why are you so down on your birthday?”

The man’s cheerful voice burst out with a sigh.

‘So today was her birthday……’

Today is her birthday, but she still was treated badly and was suffering. It was obvious how the woman and that devilish boy treated Yerine.

As I looked up and stared at the mirror, I could see red eyes shining through the long purple hair.

The light shining from the eyes somehow emitted a sad and pitiful light, that I feel sorry for her.

Strength comes into the hand, holding the hem of the skirt.

“Yerine, look at this way. I want to see your face.”

The blond man leaned deeper and slid down.

Then his warm breath tickled the bare skin, and the man buried his head on the back of my neck without a word.

The neck touched by the man’s head and the shoulders wrapped around his big hands seemed to be burning hot.

Who the hell is this guy? What’s his relationship with Yerine?’

Surely it was the first time I saw him and had nothing to do with me in Yerine’s body, but his friendly touch was enough to move my heart.

It was hard to stop my heart from pounding, even though I knew it through my head.

“Sorry. You must have been stuffy. I’ll let you go. Now look this way. I need to talk to you.”

The man spoke in a warm voice and loosened his arm around me.

My heart melted with a gentle yet attentive touch as if to soothe a child.

Perhaps this was the only person Yerine could truly rely on here.

When the idea reached that point, one question came to mind.

‘But why……’

There’s only one person, but he is someone who seems really loves her.

Why did she become such a villain?

‘I don’t know if there was a reason.’

As he retorted, I turned around and smiled at the man.

“What is it?”

But as soon as the eyes met, the handsome face of the man began to distort.

Instantly removing a smile from his mouth, he looked at me with a ghastly look that so unimaginable.

The chilling blue eyes that seem could tear someone to death make me froze.

“What are you doing now?”

I didn’t know what he gets so angry.

All the blood from head to toe seemed to freeze, so I couldn’t speak properly.

The man stepped back a step and glanced at me with a cold look.

“What are you doing, don’t you move that away right now?”

Move away?

What the hell do you want me to move away?

As he rolled his eyes around in amazement, the man frowned and said in a voice that seemed to stifle his anger.

“I’ve told you a few times not to show those monster eyes. Put an eye patch on it right now.”

Only then did I understand everything.

He doesn’t really love Yerine either. I don’t know what it is, but he just acting for his own good

On the contrary, when I came to that conclusion, I was not afraid of anyone who looked down at me with a cold look and frowned at me.

I calmly put on the eye patch in front of the mirror, and stood in front of it with the hair down, just like its original state.

“Is it good now?”

“Just don’t do it again in front of me. Because I’m not going to let it go.”

Who do you think you are? You’re not even going to put it on for me.

The man’s low-pitch voice seem close, but I don’t answer.

As I looked silently, the man opened his mouth again in the warm voice he had just now.

“Come on, yes. Yerine is a good girl so I believe you will continue to do as I say. Then let’s move on to something else.”

That’s how the man sat on the bed, crossed his legs proudly, and talked to me, looking at me quietly standing still.

“As you know you’re an adult from today.”

I nodded at the remark.

I don’t know what it had to do with him to be an adult, but it was important to find out his intentions as much as possible.

“And you know there’s an appointment ceremony for the successor in three days, right?”

I listened attentively to the word “the appointment of his successor.”

According to my memory, the children of the seven most prestigious families in the empire qualified for the successor ceremony to appoint their heirs.

Come to think of it, Yerine was also from that prestigious family. Although she was not recognized as a proper successor because she can’t use magic.

While I was rolling my head fast, the gold-haired man suddenly whispered in a small whisper, holding my hand stickily.

“But you know…..you can’t use magic at all.”

I felt as if he were a snake, holding my hand tightly and gently tightening it so that I could not take it out.

I was in a bad mood and wanted to shake my hands, but I decided to hold my breath and listen to this guy’s story.

“Without mana, it’s obviously impossible to succeed…..even though you come, I’m sure you’ll lose to another family. Isn’t that right?”

How can an anxious foreboding never be wrong?

Soon, the man’s hand held my hand, became stronger.

“So you know…..? Although I’m just a member of a branch family, besides you, I’m the one with the thickest spade blood, and I’ve seen you for a long time. More than that, I’m your fiance, too.

I closed my eyes and heard the calm voice of this cunning man.

Apparently, he was trying to take advantage of Yerine’s inability to use magic to take over the Spade’s next successor.

Perhaps in the original story, Yerine was literally devastated by the loss of her position as a successor.

Maybe that’s why she became such a villain.

‘This fucking asshole.…’

Yerine was a villain in a particular episode.

There was nothing else in the original story other than the information that she was from a prestigious family who could not use magic.

So I didn’t know why she decided to become a villain, but I didn’t know there was such an ulterior motive.

When I opened my eyes still, the man smiled pretentiously and soothed me gently.

“So you know, right? If you go up to the podium with me that day and tell everyone that you’re handing me your position as successor, it’s over. That’s all I need.”

I gnawed my teeth.

I can’t believe he’s doing such a grotesque favour while pretending to be nice. Given what he did, it was clear that he would take over the successor position and wipe his mouth cleanly.

“Yes, Yerine. When this is over……you and I can live happily ever after, you trust me, right?”

This is just like saying ‘You believe in Oppa, right?’

He says the same line.

I kept my mouth shut for a while and thought about what to do in the future.

I wanted to say no right away, but I had to use magic to succeed in the seven families.

He was right in that part, so it was difficult to show my unwillingness.

“If only I could do magic…….’

If I had known how to use magic in the first place, I would not have been in this situation, but I couldn’t help it.

“…I get it.”

That was the best answer I could give under the circumstances.

As soon as I brought it up, the man got out of bed with a big smile.

He showed his teeth, smiled, and delivered a cheerful line to me as if he couldn’t even see the rest of his poop-chewing facial expression.

“Yes. Please take good care of me. You’re a good girl, so I’m sure you’ll do well.”

At the end of the sentence, he strode toward the door and greeted me with a smile that was as fierce as before.

“Well, good night. See you tomorrow.”

The attitude was enough to make me dumbfounded as if he were leaving in a hurry after his business was over.

He left the room without my greeting.

Now there is only silence in the room.

Looking through the door, I thought hard about how I could throw a fresh taffy at him.

‘Is there any way to get the successor position back?’

It was also unpleasant to know that the offended man would take away all of Yerine’s rights, it was not right when viewed morally.

Moreover, it was too obvious that I would follow the original route and take the villain’s path.

Then, the only way would be for me will be to die in vain after being criticized by others and not seeing the heroine.

“That really doesn’t work……”

I mumbled my head around like that, but I couldn’t think of a sharp plan.

Three days are left. I had to come up with a way to get a successor position in my hand and avoid the original route.

When I couldn’t get an answer even though I kept thinking about it, I was irritated and stomped my feet toward the bed.

“Oh, my God, I’m dying, and going to I’m dying again, moreover I’m going die in the hand of those bastards.”

Dug.

I tripped over something that was brilliantly sticking out on the floor.

I fell on the floor with a clatter.

When I woke up, I found my cheek against the wooden floor.

“Ugh…”

With the irritation rising to the top of my head, I lit my eyes and groped the floor.

Looking closely, I could see something like a blunt girdle rising through the wooden floor.

“Oh, why is there such a thing…… I have to pick this up.”

As soon as I reached out my hand to pull out the shackles on the floor, I noticed something was wrong.

Looking closely, there was a fine square-shaped gap on the floor, centred with an iron hook like a key ring.

It’s like a secret door under the floor, often appearing in movies.

“What, this is…..?”

As I grabbed the girdle and pulled as hard as I could, the floor began to open like a door along the gap.

Standing up and pulling the grommets to the end, the ‘door’ was completely open, and an object hidden beneath the floor appeared.

“This is…”

When I shook my hands, I could see the piles of objects piled up under the floor.

The identity of things piled up like a mountain was none other than a book.

a vast number of old books, nearly dozens of them.

I picked one of them and opened it.

Then a complex, circular picture appeared. And around the painting, there was an explanation that seemed to have been written by Yerine.

‘Isn’t this magic circle?’

A painting with numerous complex patterns and letters carved in the middle of a circle.

No matter who saw it, it was a painting that represented the magic circle.

“I’m sure……the book said Yerine couldn’t use magic, but……?’

Yerine’s handwriting, which filled the blanks between the complex Magic Circle and the explanation, shone under dim light

I didn’t know what was going on.

There’s no reason for Yerine, who can’t use magic, to have so many magic books.

Besides, I can’t believe she wrote all of this with all her heart. The more I looked, the less I understood.

Confused, I took out all the books under the floor and opened them.

And in every book, there was a trace of Yerine.

From what Yerine wrote, it was not that she did not have a low understanding of magic. Rather, it was clear that her knowledge of magic was quite high.

‘She may not be able to use magic, but she may have been strong theoretically. Even so, is this really possible……’

I had a confused mind.

I opened the thin book in my hand.

When I opened it, the small fold of the page popped out.

There were numerous asterisks on the page as if Yerine esteemed this part greatly.

“Let me see…..fire magic……I see.”

I gazed through the magic circle that looked strangely like the phoenix.

But that doesn’t mean I could use the magic, I had no idea of magic.

Eventually, I covered the book and walked slowly to the bed, and laid on it lazily.

‘I mean, I could tell she knows how to use magic.’

Then why has she remained the same so far without any rebellion?

I could only sigh.

I found out that the original owner of this body knows how to use magic, but I don’t know how to do it.

In other words, there was nothing I could do to avoid losing the position as successor.

“Aish”

I swore, took off the eyepatch and threw it into the back of the room.

When the cool cold air touched my left eye, I felt much lighter than before.

I closed my eyes again and organized my thoughts.

‘Anyways, if Yerine can use magic, then maybe I just need to figure out how to do it.’

If I keep looking into Yerine’s scripts, I might get a little hint.

Seeing that the books were all dealing with the Magic Circle, I thought I could use magic using the Magic Circle.

‘In movies or cartoons, if you draw a magic circle and memorize a spell, magic will be activated.’

I got up right away and sat in front of the desk and opened the book. And I copied the magic circle on the paper that was rolling on the desk.

“Oh, this is so complicated……”

About 10 minutes later, a magic circle with a pretty shape was completed, even though it was not perfect as shown in the book.

I left it because I thought magic would work if I finished drawing, but nothing happened for a few minutes.

“I think I must do something, too…..”

I opened the book again and looked at the explanation. However, there was only an explanation of the magic circle itself, but it did not give any hints about how to activate it.

There was no such thing as a spell to memorize.

“Oh, my…”

I tried blowing wind on the paper, flipped the paper over, but there was still no response.

Finally, I went back to bed.

After supporting my head with my hands clenched, I lay languidly and muttered while looking at the ceiling.

“But it’s a pretty elaborate drawing, but…..That’s too bad……”

Obviously, the magic circle was pretty complicated.

The image of the Magic Circle remained clear in my head, perhaps because I had followed it so hard.

The moment I was about to cross my legs, thinking of a sophisticated magic team, a bright light came up with the sound of a bang and shone in the room.

“Hmm?”

As I raised my head, I could see the sparks on the corner of the bed blazing and wriggling.

“Wha, what is that!”

Screaming with fright, I jumped out of bed like a madman.

In the meantime, the flames continued to devour bed sheets, burning more and more brightly.

I tried to put out the flames by grabbing off the blanket that had gathered in the corner.

It was not until several times that the flame had been covered with a blanket then the flame began to fade, and it lost its strength and went out quietly.

I stood alone in the room, shakingly, and took a breath.

“What the hell is going on…..”

I said looking at the darkened bed that has been burnt down.

Why is it suddenly on the flame? It hasn’t been long since I was possessed, but I almost died again.

Only then did an idea pass through my mind.

‘Fire magic.’

I turned my back as if I was possessed, and looked at the magic circle on the desk.

When the flames came up, I definitely thought of a magic circle in my head.

“It’s memorized in the head.”

At that moment, just like when I first visited the room, the knowledge Yerine had accumulated over the years about magic flowed into the head.

Fireworks, water, earth, air, magic using the Big Four elements of the spades, and even information about magic.

I was amazed at the amount and depth of knowledge that Yerine had accumulated.

But all the information that came into the head was related to magic.

No other memory of Yerine, which had nothing to do with magic, flowed in at all.

‘When I first visited the room, did some of her memories flow into me?’

Or maybe it’s just a random return of some memory.

I’m not sure which is right yet, so I’ll have to wait a little longer.

“If I had been able to recover the entire memory at once, it would have been easier to grasp the situation, but it’s a shame.’

Then, I could feel a slight warmth in the left eye.

It didn’t hurt, but it felt like my eyelids were slightly heated.

And the moment I inadvertently looked at the mirror hanging on the wall, I noticed that my left eye was emitting subtly more reddish than it had just been.

“What is it? It’s…?”

One eye suddenly gets hot and the colour changes. It was strange no matter how I looked at it.

‘Is it because of magic?

No matter how much I thought about it, that seemed to be the only cause.

“Let’s do it one more time.”

Just like I did just now, I came up with a magic unit in my head.

This time in the hope of not burning the bed.

“Oh.”

Fortunately, there was a spark on my hand this time. But the flame burning on my hand felt only lukewarm to me.

In addition, I felt a similar heat in my left eye.

“So what if I close the left eye, can I use magic?”

Eventually, with my left eye closed and my hands forward, I came up with the magic circle in my head as before. But there was no spark in the hand, and no change in the left eye.

I read the book again to see if I memorized the magic team wrong, but the result was the same.

Only then did I realize.

The reason why she couldn’t use magic in the original was that she covered her left eye.

“Why the hell did you…”

She could use magic as well as anyone else if she took off her eye patch.

Nevertheless, what is the point of not doing so?

Then I saw something glistening on the floor under the secret door.

“What is it?”

As I bent back and entered through the secret door, I saw a box that I had not found before.

When I took out the box, the gold decorations on the box glistened.

It was obvious that she kept something important.

As I lifted the lid of the box slightly, I saw a ring lying in the middle of the velvet cushion.

On the beautiful opal, emitting a curious light, there was a finely engraved gold pattern, presumed to be spade’s crest.

“Wow…”

As I looked around the ring, a small piece of paper fluttered out between the rings.

When I lifted up the paper that had fallen to the floor, the familiar handwriting that filled the space of the book welcomed me.

‘This should not be taken away.’

“This is…”

A thing that only a true spade family member can have.

It was the ring of Gaza.

‘You must not take it out, La.’

No wonder that’s what I thought Yerine’s desperation was.

I couldn’t easily ignore the message on the piece of paper, as it seemed to be contained.

‘She was so desperate, and suddenly she lost everything….’

I looked at the ring on my hand and thought to myself.

I then held the ring in my hand and hugged it tightly, muttering to myself.

“I’ll make sure, I’ll protect it.”

***

In a rattling carriage. I kept my head down as if I was dead.

Looking next to me, I could see Leon Postade, the blonde in question, sitting with a smile on his face as usual.

“Yes, when you get to the capital–”

Leon’s mother-in-law, or my prospective mother-in-law, sitting across, was still looking down at me with a face that she didn’t like anything in the world.

Leon’s brother, Fernand, with his devilish smile, excitedly talked to his brother.

“Then you can see other nobles, right, brother?”

The three of them were treating me like a nobody.

Even the costume was like that. Both Fernand and Countess Postade, dressed in dazzling clothes full of all kinds of ornaments.

Today’s main character, Leon, was wearing a luxurious outfit mixed with red and gold, with a large gold ring with the Spade’s crest on his hand.

On the other hand, all I had was a dull black cape wrapped around my whole body.

To the abominably, not only Leon, Countess Postade and Fernand Spade also use a little ornament with Spade’s crest on it.

When I was lowering my head, thinking it was ridiculous, Countess Postade slapped my foot with her pointed shoes.

“Hey, don’t be dazed. If things go wrong today, you’ll get done first.”

From kicking a person who stays still with high heels, the etiquette of the upper class seems to have gone awry.

“Mother, don’t worry. We’ve already told the organizers, and Yerine just needs to do what we said.”

“It’s because she’s stupid. This mother wouldn’t have worried about this if she were half good as much as you.”

Leon also focused more on reassuring his mother than worrying about me, who was kicked with her shoes.

‘Let’s hang in there a little bit.’

Thinking so, I clenched my fists in my hands.

“Still it is fine, Mother. If she can’t even do that one thing, then she’s not even a real human being!”

said Fernand with a smile.

Then Leon grasped my arm and smiled.

“No. Yerine is nice and listens to me well. You can do it, right?”

I thought I wanted to spit at his voice.

I forced up my facial muscles, which were not moving well and smiled slightly.

And in a slightly hoarse voice, I spoke clearly.

“Yes, I can do it well.”

“Yeah.”

After glancing at Leon, who smiled broadly and focused on their conversation again, I dropped my head.

The shaggy purple hair blocked my view.

Everyone would have thought I was stupidly zoning out.

However, behind it, I was smiling.

Because I felt so happy about what was going to happen.
