“yes?”
“Handsome men. Don’t you think there are people who are famous because they are good-looking?”
“Swing?”
Belle seemed confused by my question.
It seems like Elena didn’t usually ask questions like this.
But I can’t help it. The Lady Elena Seves you originally served has disappeared.
“Miss, have you really stopped caring about the Duke of the North?”
However, Bell’s reaction seemed a bit emotional.
Well, it’s Elena, the body owner.
Did you really worry a wide range of people, from your parents to the maids?
I took a moment to imagine how thin Belle’s nerves must have been when the real Elena went on a rampage to marry the Duke of the North.
“Okay. Now that I’ve stopped paying attention, tell me about other handsome men. Famous people. Please explain.”
“First of all, the two royal princes are the most famous! As you know!”
okay. You don’t have to see it to know that.
The only time an imperial prince is ugly is when he is a villain.
If you want to be at least a sub-male lead in the original, you have to be good-looking.
“That’s right. Even though the two of you look alike, they feel completely different.”
“That’s right! It’s amazing how the two of you are so similar yet cool in different ways. While His Highness Klaus is a bit cold and intellectual, His Highness Rudyard is very kind and gentle.”
I am not saying this because I have prior knowledge.
Of course, if more than one man appears in a romantic drama, each of them will be handsome with a different vibe.
Because we have to bring out the character!
“This is a secret, but sometimes we vote on who looks better.”
“Oh, really? Who wins the vote?”
This question is also important.
Among handsome men with different vibes, the more handsome one will become the male lead.
“Hmm… there have been 14 elections in history, and His Highness Klaus and His Highness Rudyard have taken turns winning by one vote each time, and it is still a draw!”
what? You voted fourteen times?
‘Why is it so serious?’
But I wasn’t fazed by minor details.
Rather, if the good looks of the two people were almost equal, there was a high probability that it would become a love triangle, with the one with the most appearances or narratives becoming the male lead.
‘good. If you meet the prince in the future, be sure to check their narrative!’
Of the two, the one with the more disadvantaged background will be the winner!
However, there is a possibility that both princes are not male leads… … .
“Well, who else is famous for being handsome? Of course Duke Brudel is also famous, right?”
“Oh, no! A man more handsome than Duke Bruedel was put down!”
This is a 100% pure lie.
I was certain because I had seen Duke Bruedel’s face.
If a man more handsome than the Duke of Brudel were to be looked down upon, the faces of Prince Keul and Prince Lou, who are at the top of the handsomeness rankings, would radiate light.
Did old Elena bully you to the point where you had to lie in this situation, Belle?
I moved on from the topic with a bit of pity.
“Well, that aside, were there any handsome men around me?”
“Around the young lady?”
“Or a guy I’ve been close with since childhood.”
Relationships from the past are also an important element of romance.
If I had a close male friend of the same age and he was good-looking, there was a high chance that he would be my leading man!
“Hmm… you have been close to Sir Hamel since you were young. But why is that suddenly happening?”
It’s Hamel. First of all, the name seems sincere, so I give it a 1st round pass.
A friendly childhood friend I have known since childhood.
Hamel describes our relationship as friends, but in fact he has had me in his heart since I was a child!
‘Um, no.’
This is a structure I see more often in romances than in romance novels.
In particular, since he was possessed at a certain age, the possibility was low.
Childhood friends all need a process of building memories with each other.
It was not possible to confirm that he was the male lead just because he was a childhood friend.
“Hamel… Is Hamel objectively handsome?”
“Oh my, miss. You keep asking me new questions. You teased me a while ago about the carriage full of love letters sent to Lord Hamel every month.”
Ah, I passed. Congratulations on your final acceptance!
What’s wrong with being possessed when you’re a little older?
‘Anyway, this guy named Hamel thinks of me as a childhood friend, right?’
We have a lot of time left to build our memories!
It seemed to be one of those novels where problems arise a few years after possession.
All I have to do is build up the flag with Hamel over those few years, right?
“Miss, why are you smiling like that…?”
Belle looked at me anxiously, but couldn’t suppress the corners of her mouth from rising.
What kind of friend is Hamel?
A friend who regresses and comes back to protect me?
A friend who will turn dark because he has an unfortunate past?
A friend who was just friendly at first, but who will grow tremendously with my help?
‘Ah, good, good! ‘Do you need to go all the way up north to date?’
Originally, the blue bird of happiness was nearby.
All that night, I tried to think of novels featuring a childhood friend named Hamel, but unfortunately, nothing came to mind.
I fell asleep while letting countless names, such as Hamel and Hameln, Hamel and Adele, wander through my mind.
The next day, I was called to the Count’s office.
When I had just left the hospital, I was scared of being called into the Count’s room, but not anymore.
I learned some information about family relationships and was able to confirm my role through my father’s attitude.
‘Besides, I have Hamel.’
First of all, I wanted to apologize for ordering such a strange play.
“Father, I’m so sorry. Father, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, Father… How can I say this to make you look the most sorry?”
I mumbled and practiced my apology to the Count.
This is because they may be angry because they were unable to get married.
If my father gets very angry at me and behaves viciously towards me, he may be possessed by an evil woman.
Because the father of a villain is usually a greedy villain.
On the other hand, if the father gets angry based on common sense, he is probably possessing a supporting character.
In most cases, the fathers of the supporting characters had a reasonable amount of money and also cared about their daughters.
Possession of a villainess and possession of a supporting character.
‘Which one is better?’
If I were possessed by a villainess, I would be able to live a very comfortable life outside of the house thanks to my public presence.
‘But your father’s terrible greed and emotional abuse make you want to leave home.’
On the other hand, if you are possessed by a supporting character, there is a high probability that the speed at which you realize what the book is about will be delayed.
If so?
You could die suddenly! because?
Usually, if you possess a supporting role, there is a high chance of being swept up in the unfortunate events that occur in the original work.
It’s not an ending where everyone gets along well, and our house may suddenly go bankrupt.
That was even more terrifying.
“……Well, I’ve decided.”
Of course, it’s better to be a villainess whose actions and future developments are somewhat predetermined.
‘So, if your father throws a water cup at you, you should try to avoid it.’
Thinking back to the dodgeball we played in gym class!
I closed my eyes, took a breath, and opened the office door.
But what greeted me was not a glass of water.
“My daughter. Come in.”
It was the Count’s excessively bright smile.
“Ah, father.”
“I’m so happy, Elena. Dad believed you were his daughter. Well then!”
It was a sight that made me look like a very foolish person, wondering whether it would be better to say ‘Father, I’m sorry’ or ‘I’m sorry, Father’.
The ear of the count’s mouth twitched. It wasn’t like he was trying to force a smile.
“Of course. Our daughter is someone else’s daughter! There’s no way she would cut off ties with her father!”
It seemed like the count was so excited that he couldn’t even see my blank face.
Thanks to him talking excitedly to himself, information was gathered quickly.
The immature Elena declared that she would marry the Duke of the North.
I tried threatening to have him expelled from the family if he went to the north, but he was unresponsive.
The count sulked and didn’t talk to Elena, and the countess got angry and left for a resort, saying she wanted to get some air.
All of the attitudes I briefly saw were not theatrical, but really came off as angry.
What I thought was a cold glare in her eyes was actually a sign that she wanted me to quickly soothe her because she was angry, and what she tried to say was not a piece of her final affection for me, but ended up being an attempt to cling to her immature daughter who was marrying off her father.
‘For some reason, they said they would send it to me easily… … .’
The Duke of the North, didn’t he just give Sejak half the money?
How did you go from saying ‘I’m going to produce a production for you in the family!’ to ‘I’ll do a play for you!’?
“Besides, aren’t you mature enough to help with business?”
In fact, it was just a cow that caught a mouse while backing up.
It is said that the Duke of the North was surprised at how easily I turned around and sent a message to the Earl’s family first.
‘He came to me without a proper visit request and asked me to marry him, so I refused, but I am worried that I may have inadvertently said too much to the lady. ‘I hope the upper management continues’, this is roughly what it says.
Because of Elena’s immaturity, he was a count who always suffered losses in his upper transactions with the Northern Duke.
He was deeply saddened by Elena, but after this incident, the Count realized that Elena was on his family’s side and prioritized her family’s love over her fiery love with a man, and it is said that the Count cried a little.
Of course, trade with the North also became more equal.
“You went to the North to ease your father’s worries, but he didn’t even know that and became narrow-minded and petty.”
“I didn’t go that far….”
“Now, I don’t have to fool my father like that. You’re doing this because you’re conscious of the duke’s actions in our house, right?”
Oh no. Nope.
It seems like they don’t have proper eyes or ears… … .
“I still feel so sad every time I see your empty room that I cut it all down, so don’t worry.”
I guess there was no need for that… … .
“When did you become so mature? As a father, I’m so proud of you. I thought Elena was just a child forever, but now she knows how to help her father’s business! She deceived her allies for the sake of money… Ah, but Dad. “Don’t cheat, okay?”
For me, who almost broke business ethics and tried to sell my family at wholesale price by saying that I was in a relationship, this position felt like a thorn in my side.
‘Let’s wait a little while. ‘Be patient.’
Today is the day to meet my male lead, Hamel!
