Chapter 12

Chapter 12

“I think you should go somewhere and study ‘love’, My Lady!”

After I left the pet shop, I went to a street cafe near the area with Becky.

“What do you mean by that?” I asked.

“You told him that if he ever needed a place to go, he could come and knock at Kandmion household’s door anytime with a lousy excuse such as your mansion being too spacious. Why would he say yes to something like that when you aren’t even dating?”

Becky continued on.

“My Lady, you told me that five minutes ago. But, isn’t this just your second time meeting him?”

“………”

“But, why would you say that, My Lady?”

Come to think of it, why would someone like me say that?

At that moment, I could feel my face turning red because I thought he was just pretending to hate me.

My actions today were influenced by the dream I had last time, which made him hate me even more than he already did.

“Becky, I must have been possessed. My mind went blank the moment I saw his handsome face, so that’s why I approached him and talked to him.”

“…I understand how you feel, My Lady. I understand you on many levels.”

I had a dream this morning that made me feel a little upset.

I dreamt about my past life and knew that I truly suffered back then, but I still was able to live a little bit since I got a job at a company.

I dreamt about my past life in which I suffered so much. But even if so, I was still able to continue living since I got a job at a company.

The company gave fair compensation for all of my efforts.

After that dream, that’s what was on my mind all the time.

As I am just like any other human being, it would be strange if I didn’t have any desire after seeing his handsome face. But, it seems like I have been impertinent.

‘As expected, I have made a lot of mistakes after that dream.’

I shouldn’t have done that. If I didn’t approach him, I wouldn’t have been humiliated.

I was immersed in my thoughts while drinking the glass of peach-flavored juice the waiter served earlier.

Then, I suddenly heard a cheerful man’s voice.

“After pondering for a while, I think I’d like to go with you now. Do you want me to come and live free of charge in the Dukedom of Kandmion?”

When I turned my head to my right, I saw a navy-haired man accompanied by 4 guards. He was drinking his juice just like me.

“Who is it? The handsome guy, I mean. How handsome is that guy for you to say that you’re possessed, My Lady?” Lucas asked.

“You!”

My eyes widened when I saw him on the other side of the table.

Th-That guy. The Road Information Master. What is he doing here?

“Is he more good looking than me?” Lucas asked.

He turned his head towards us and smiled.

Oh my, you’re the best among all the handsome guys I’ve met.

I can’t seem to fix my preference in good looks even though I saw Cassion’s visage already.

That vicious smile. I’m sure he already knows that I find him handsome.

“You…!”

I wanted to say something, but I wasn’t able to say a single word at the sight of that man. He knew his handsome face and took advantage of it.

‘Wow…..Just conquer the world, and do whatever you desire.’

Isn’t this your second time seeing his handsome face? Calm your heart and don’t appear like you are swayed by his handsome appearance. Rather, it should be him who should be interested in you.

‘Although he’s like a rock that can never be swayed, I should be able to seduce him with my goddess-like face.’

When I looked at Becky, she was calm, unlike me.

As expected, I was the only one who had a hard time looking at him directly.

“What are you doing here?” I asked.

He glanced at Becky once, and then looked at me again.

It was as if he’s asking, ‘Why are you not as stiff as her?’

“Were you looking for me?” I added.

This marks the start of the novel.

As soon as I started going out of the mansion, I saw two men in a row that will be involved with the female lead.

“What is it? What’s with that look?” I asked again.

Lucas didn’t answer my question.

But, I could tell, based on his expression, he thinks I’m a crazy woman.

Why am I not getting a possessed buff?

If you look elsewhere, you’d say, “Oh, I’ve never seen a woman like her before!”

“It’s just a coincidence. I have an appointment with someone. We’re supposed to meet here.”

There was an ominous feeling in his words.

Based on my dream, this is the part where Raylene runs into the second male lead.

Who’s the person he made an appointment with? Who is the second male lead supposed to meet?

“Lucas!”

I heard someone shout from a distance. The person was a little far, which is why the voice was not properly heard. However, I could definitely see a pink-haired woman waving her hand in this direction.

A pink-haired woman, huh? Who else would it be besides Iris?

It’s just like what happened in my dream!

‘Well, isn’t the novel progressing according to the original storyline?

“Hey, look closely. Told you that I have an appointment here.”

“Be quiet and don’t talk to me.”

This is a hassle. I came out to rest comfortably, but then this man appeared out of nowhere.

I turned my back and looked at the opposite building.

Becky then came to her senses, fixed her hat, moved her chair, and turned her back on the table.

What about our knights? They were once standing around the table where I was sitting, but they are now gone.

At least everyone is quick-witted.

“Lucas, why didn’t you look at me when I was calling you? I thought I mistook you for someone else.”

Iris said in a loud voice.

“…….”

“Lucas?”

Answer her quickly, you punk. You know it’s weird being caught from hiding.

I was frustrated. I couldn’t see what he was doing because I was just sitting at the back, looking at the scenery of the village.

“Ah…I apologize. I was thinking about something else.”

“…You seem a little strange today.”

“No, is there something different about me?”

Something big seems to be going on in the opposite building. I sat on a chair where no one could see me.

I saw a bulky man wearing colorful clothes, it seems as if he was shouting.

“Um, this…”

“What is it?”

“This is the dress you gave me last time.”

“Are you giving it back to me?”

I don’t remember seeing his face, so I didn’t think he was noble.

Moreover, he has done frivolous acts, so there’s no chance he’d be an aristocrat either.

He called in workers during a busy day, as if he was the owner of a building that is under construction.

“Come to think of it, it’s too expensive, so I don’t think I should have it. I’ve worn it, but since I just wore it once, if you sell it, the price you’ll receive won’t have a big difference in comparison to when you bought it…”

“…How can you do such a thing?”

“You’re different than usual, Lucas. I don’t want to waste jennies too.”

You’re this miser? This is the reason why I always cut unto you every time you ran to me for five minutes.

I’ve been listening to their conversations, and I’ve been wondering when that punk is going to leave. When I was watching him get bored, he suddenly caught my eyes looking at them.

“Ah, I recently lost my sense of cash when I saw Lady Raylene spend 1.89 billion jennies so easily.”

‘That happened?’

Iris burst into a clear smile. Her laughter was clear and pleasant to hear.

When I focused on the opposite side again, I saw a boy with a unique hair that was exquisitely mixed with gold and black.

No, to be exact, he seemed like a man. His figure was just like that. He wasn’t small, rather, he looked like a dwarf.

“I envy those kinds of people…”

“Well, he’s a capable man. By the way, were you able to walk confidently in the palace with that dress?”

“The palace. Actually, it didn’t work out.”

Iris huffed.

I couldn’t recognize the shape of his face. It was covered with deep wounds and burns.

The wounds were so deep that the only features distinguishable in his face were his eyes, nose, and mouth.

He was dressed in plain commoners clothes with shackles on his legs.

“Just because you put butterfly wings on a caterpillar, it doesn’t mean you’ll be the flower of the society after.”

“Why, what did the flower of the society say?”

“It’s pretty, Iris. You don’t know when you will have another chance to wear Rosemary’s dress, so I hope you will enjoy this party. Also, I hope you would not make the same mistake of showing up with the same dress for the second time due to your excitement.”

“So, you’re returning this for that reason?”

“She is rich enough to buy all the dresses on the continent, so what difference will it make if I am able to buy one?”

The workers from the construction site leaned back several times, it was a sign of protest to the man who was pointing his fingers.

Perhaps, something wasn’t working out at the construction site.

Sigh. But why am I fuming? Why would I say that?

Man, I see that you’re making them work too little. I should have said that instead.

I could feel her voice going down due to embarrassment.
