I opened my eyes wide. My heart was pounding loudly as if it was beating. The words the man in front of me kept coming back to me.
‘I thought the young lady came from another world and hasn’t adapted to this world yet.’
Klaus Ertikev knows I am a possessor!
okay. It could be a double possession. I thought so hard, but my mind did not calm down easily. Because a very important question came to mind.
‘So what now?’
I’ve read a lot of novels over the years, but the number of novels in which even the male lead is possessed is quite rare. Maybe one or two books at most?
So, I had no idea how to act in this situation.
Help me, cliché dictionary!
Of course, shouting like that didn’t suddenly create a dictionary of clichés.
Instead, Klaus just grinned and said one thing.
“Are you really from another world?”
“……yes?”
Did you just say that?
“This is fun again.”
“Um, Your Highness?”
“why?”
Klaus’s long, slitted eyes curved with laughter.
But at this moment, I couldn’t even see his breathtakingly handsome appearance.
A little bit came in, but whatever.
“Didn’t you just say that with some basis?”
“That can’t be true. Lady, does this sound like a basis?”
Oh, what is it? Was it just nonsense? You were surprised for no reason! I thought it was a double possession.
I almost got into big trouble. I almost got carried away by what you said and told me all my secrets.
“Well, that’s groundless.”
Of course, you can be honest.
Actually, I am not from this world.
So it didn’t hit me that in this world, enticement with the devil was such a serious crime.
My ego as a reader is still stronger,
I had a stronger thought that ‘no matter what you say, it will work out well in the novel.’
If I were to be honest, a more important goal for me was predicting what the next story would be like and fitting the title of this novel.
‘But there’s no way I’ll believe you if you say that.’
I proudly puffed out my chest as if it were a joke.
“I was just trying to spice up a joke. Did you like my performance?”
“what.”
Klaus narrowed his eyes and looked at me. It was as if he was looking through something.
What, why, what? Why do you look at me like that? Are you saying this is groundless?
“I don’t think the young lady can act.”
Klaus looked into my eyes and blurted out.
“Was it awkward? I was trying my best to fit in with Your Highness’s jokes.”
“No, I was serious earlier, and now I’m just acting.”
“Oh, no.”
What is it, this man? Why do you keep acting like you know?
In times like these, I had to be more confident.
As I puffed out my chest and raised my head, I saw Klaus’ handsome face closer.
There were tear spots under the narrowed eyes.
It was clear that the unique teardrop dot under the pupil, that is, in the center of the eye, would have been an element that doubled this man’s sexiness if it had not been for this situation.
But now that I know this man’s personality, I’m not mesmerized by this face!
“Do you like my face?”
“Oh my, of course.”
Let’s please everyone!
“Look, I still can’t act.”
“yes?”
“You’re thinking about something else, aren’t you?”
… … Don’t be a prince and spread the mat. I think that might suit your aptitude better.
“Whether the young lady is from another world, living a second life, or somehow returned to the past, it doesn’t matter, so don’t be so nervous.”
“Eh?”
I also didn’t want to be this bad at acting.
However, listening to this man keep telling strange stories, it was clear that any ordinary person would be embarrassed.
‘Possession, reincarnation, return! ‘How does Klaus, who is not even a possessor, know that?’
Leaving me gaping, Klaus grinned and gracefully leaned against the door again.
It was a movement that seemed languid and cunning, like a snake.
“Ah, I’m a little more curious. Is the young lady a liar, delusional, or is she telling me the whole truth?”
“It’s not like that!”
“But what I’m going to say now is that I was curious to see if you knew why the young lady’s younger brother had such thoughts, so I came to see you.”
“…….”
“I was able to hear more interesting and colorful hypotheses than I expected. It exceeded my expectations.”
“…….”
“Now are you going to go with the strategy of not saying anything at all?”
I have a really bad personality! really!
“You say a lot of things I don’t know what you’re saying, hoho.”
I’m scared of you
“Am I scared?”
“Did I just say my heart out loud?”
“I could read it in the expression.”
Klaus smiled with a relaxed expression. That smile gave me goosebumps.
I think it was captured correctly. I guess it’s ruined.
‘What should I do?’
In the worst case, this bad-tempered prince may not only have a bad personality, but he may also be a villain who kills people.
In this case, should I adopt a scenario where I make the prince love me before he kills me?
While I was biting my lip nervously, Klaus burst into laughter again.
“Oh my. You keep making the lady anxious because you don’t have much to say.”
It’s not that people like you don’t talk much, it’s that they say they have a bad personality.
“I just came to let you know. My sister was contemplating whether or not to investigate Young-ae due to the accusation made by her younger brother. So don’t be surprised later.”
“Oh, my. You are so kind. You really helped me a lot. Thank you.”
I smiled awkwardly. Since I didn’t know the identity of the possessed book, I couldn’t provide a customized response.
“Young lady, you have a lot of useless thoughts, right?”
“Oh my. Have I shown you that I am not concentrating in front of Your Highness again? How could that be… If you give me one more chance, only this time.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. If I give you one more chance, what? Are you planning on having a snowball fight?”
As he said that, Klaus closed his eyes and smiled.
Ah, he’s somewhat obnoxious, but he’s still handsome. I looked at his bright smile with a confused expression.
“Then, let’s leave so as not to make the lady more anxious.”
“Yes? You’re leaving?”
“I said what I wanted to say, and I heard everything I wanted to hear. It seems like the young lady is uncomfortable with me, too.”
Are you really going like this?
I was just glaring out of embarrassment, but Klaus actually opened the door to the living room. He then looked at me and said.
“Well, I had fun today.”
And the door slammed shut.
… … what?
“Why did you really come?”
After that thrilling meeting with Klaus, I knew I had to come to my senses.
The thought of constantly having to face someone like Klaus whose true feelings were unknown was extremely uncomfortable.
‘I need to at least figure out who has what role.’
The first thing I did was guess which book it was. but… … .
“Let’s see. The history of the imperial family.”
… … First year of the imperial calendar. The hero defeated the Demon King and unified the empire. The hero founded a country and named it Wispern. The people of the empire who suffered from the devil’s army worshiped a hero as emperor… … .
“Understanding of a noble family.”
… … Families that made contributions in the battle against the Demon King were recognized for their contributions and were incorporated into the nobility of the empire. Among them, Duke Brudel in the north, Duke Hasrion in the south, Duke Domarti in the east, and Duke Angelsen in the west had distinct specialties and became the leaders of each region… … .
“About the devil.”
… … The Demon King was exterminated by the conqueror Keledon Erntikev in the first year of the Imperial Calendar. For over a thousand years, the Demon King and his forces went unnoticed… … .
“……I don’t know!”
I carelessly threw the book I borrowed from the imperial library onto the desk.
I don’t know. I couldn’t figure it out. There was no way to pinpoint the names of people or place names.
Are there only one or two heroes who defeated the Demon King or unified numerous countries in the first year of the empire?
‘Since the country was unified in the first place, it must have been the first year of the empire!’
The same goes for dukes. He made a great contribution in the great war in the first year of the empire, so he would have been made a duke.
I don’t know if they had any special abilities, but perhaps they were just ordinary people who were good at fighting, so there was no mention of any special abilities.
I looked for the Demon King just in case, but this too was in vain.
What would be the use of knowing that the Demon King has not reappeared for over a thousand years?
Lopan, where the Demon King who was thought to have been sealed or extinguished comes back? There will be a box just like what I read.
You can’t identify a novel with this!
“What should I do? I really don’t know.”
I tapped my pen on the desk nervously. Now that things were like this, I didn’t know that a different approach might be necessary.
He casually pushed aside the books scattered on the desk and took out a piece of paper.
“How to survive the villain.”
That’s what I wrote at the top of the unfolded paper.
“First, pick up the villains and discipline them from a young age.”
As I wrote that, I thought of Klaus Ertikef.
It would be safe to say that the body below the wide shoulders was absolutely perfect.
There is no flab at all, but the muscles that are not excessive are well placed, and the color of the skin visible through the loose collar is enough to disturb the mind… … .
Oh, no. This is not the time to think like this.
“This won’t work.”
He is already an adult man to have to discipline from a young age. He wrote.
I put an X over the word ‘First’.
“Second. When the villain is injured and weak, it heals him and even embraces the wounds in his heart.”
… … That?
I remembered Klaus stabbing me without even blinking an eye.
No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t look like I’m going to get injured and become weak.
“……Still, I guess I’ll hold off for now just in case.”
A triangle was placed next to the word ‘second’.
“Third. The villain falls in love with me and makes me desperate.”
… … hmm.
I thought about the content of the novel I most recently read.
“He was a wasted object running away from an obsessed male lead, obviously….”
