The male hero's father, his mother, even the male hero himf, people who were only mentioned in the novel were standing in front of me now.
Ah, even the person sitting next to me is also the villain.
Eating with future heroes made me realize more clearly that I had entered the novel.
While I was eating as usual, a small hand placed a delicious piece of meat on my plate.
I looked up to find the male hero looking at me.
“Eat this too, Evelin. You must eat a lot of meat and become a strong person when you grow up. And you will become good at climbing trees.”
I think I read that he was a good brother to his younger sister. He seems to want to be a good brother to me too.
"Okay, brother! Thank you! I love meat!"
I was touched and some feelings came back to me again.
I chewed the meat and swallowed it to suppress my emotions.
Certin, who was drinking wine next to me, spoke in a low voice:
“Roderick is a good brother.”
"It's because Leia is so annoying. Roderick is a really good brother to Leia."
Leah must have just turned three. I saw a description in the novel that she is three years younger than the male hero.
Sertin said:
"Our Evelyn is like her too. She can get along well with Leah too."
I stopped unconsciously.
Do I have to tell you that I'm holding a fork in my hand?
I can really threaten you coldly.
I gritted my teeth and continued to eat slowly. Pretending to be a picky eater.
Roderick was eating in an orderly manner until the end. The protagonist seems really different.
As for Duke Roger, he was spending a lot of time with Cyrtain, and it was a bit sad.
The fact that their close relationship deteriorated due to a misunderstanding and ultimately ended in destruction, was truly disappointing.
Since the story focuses on the male hero, there were detailed descriptions of Duke Roger and Sirtain.
It has been said that they were friends and colleagues since childhood.
They were the only people who trusted each other and opened their hearts to each other.
It was Duke Spindel who separated these two people and destroyed their relationship.
Duke Spindel sought to destroy the empire and destroy Serten with the goal of replacing the imperial family line with the Spindel lineage.
A vile and evil person. But all these conspiracies are exposed by Roderick, and in the end Cyrtain faces a tragic fate.
Then, Cyrtain's illegitimate brother, who was raised in secret, takes the throne.
“Eat this too, big brother!”
I felt touched for no reason, so I gave my chocolate to Roderick.
said Certin when he saw me.
"Evelyn seems to like Roderick. She's never given up a single chocolate bar for me."
You fool, as long as you speak, speak truthfully. I have never given up anything in my life to you.
“Yes, I love my big brother.”
It's okay to be nice to the male lead. Duke and Duchess Roger smiled sweetly at my words.
Parents, please continue to raise your child this way.
I will take good care of Sertin and prevent him from turning evil.
Duke and Duchess Roger left, and Evelyn was returned to her palace.
Sertin was left alone and sat down by the window.
Sertin sighed, holding a glass in his hand, and muttered:
“Poor thing.”
Cyrtain lowered his eyes.
Maybe Yulia was right. Whether she has come to her senses or was normal from the beginning, she still pretends to be a six-year-old girl and calls a younger child “big brother.”
Maybe this was Evelyn's way of trying to live.
If her situation in Spindle was bad, and she had been neglected even if she had not been abused, then Evelin's life certainly would not have been easy.
Sertin smiled bitterly.
However, he couldn't feel comfortable.
Cyrtain remained suspicious and suspicious of Evelyn. Is she a spy from Spindel? Was she pretending to achieve her goals?
Sertin poured himf a glass.
No matter how much he drank, he wouldn't get drunk. No, he couldn't get drunk. There was no place either in this empire or in the vast castle where he could rest easily.
He constantly doubted Evelyn and tested her every time, but on the other hand...
Certain hoped that Evelyn's intentions were sincere.
"Yes."
If that was truly the case, perhaps this would be the first time that Sirten had someone by his side in this imperial palace.
Someone is ready to protect him in every possible way.
Sertin had never received protection from anyone before. He had to protect this imperial palace with his own hands, and survive with his own strength.
The scene outside the window, where darkness had fallen, was bleak.
Evelyn's radiant smile towered over those scenes. She was there, in the garden, with him.
With an innocent face.
Sertin swallowed. His face, buried in his hands, was miserably disfigured.
The waves of his feelings were violently crashing inside him. With harsh and rough force.
Two days after his meeting with Roderick
'Okay, let's get moving.'
I knew that if I did nothing it would mean that Duke Spindle would find a way to achieve his goals in any way possible.
That's why I was thinking of pulling off an elaborate trick.
I asked Serena and Rosie, who were slowly watching me.
“Is Roina not coming today?”
“She said she couldn't come today because she had something to do at home.”
“Ah, then it will be boring.”
Serena and Rosie shuddered when they heard the word 'boring'. Haha, this is the result of my efforts. I tamed them.
Smile as innocently as possible.
“Then, I'm going to visit Veer!”
“Ver..Princess Veronica?”
"Okay!"
They immediately understood who I meant, Pfeir. Serena and Rosie looked at each other and asked with surprised faces.
"Why? Haven't you been rejected before?"
“No, now we are friends. We met before and decided to become friends! And she told me to come play with her!”
In fact, it was more like she was inviting me to visit her if I was bored or had nothing to do in this boring palace, but it was more like she was asking me to play with her, right?
Besides, Veronica seemed like a very nice person, unlike Cyrtain.
She was nice to me.
Her face, so pitiful as she offered me a drink, is still etched in my memory. She looked like she was going to cry.
Veronica was crying on my behalf. She didn't love me but she couldn't hate me.
That's why I wanted to save Princess Veronica. Not for Sirtain's sake, but for her sake.
“How about we grab some snacks? Cookies or, um, biscuits...”
Rosie said without missing a beat. I nodded my head vigorously.
“I love biscuits. Veer said she loves biscuits too!”
At these words, her face lit up. Serena and Rosie didn't bother to hide their feelings in front of me.
In addition, they tended to become more neglectful when Rosalina was not around.
Before I had this body, Evelin didn't really know anything even though Serena and Rosie acted carelessly.
That's why they are so confident.
Evelyn was not good at reading other people's emotions. This makes it easier for me.
Sometimes they would randomly talk about things that no one should hear. Of course, I was secretly eavesdropping too.
It was funny seeing how you two discussed things in front of me without realizing I was listening.
For example, talking about where messages are hidden, or where they are placed.
Through their conversation, she realized that the smart crown prince was constantly changing work schedules. The changes were so chaotic that it was no longer possible to bribe people or let them in, and they complained about it.
It seems that the notes I found were useful to Sirtain.
I swallowed my laughter as I looked at the excited Serena and Rosie.
Tsk tsk. They don't even know that they are "double agents" in this novel.
This time, I pretended not to know anything and laughed with Serena and Rosie.
In fact, the most innocent people in this novel may be these two maids.
