I need to meet Yuno, but I haven’t thought of a good way to extract “The Biography of Lietrie Extri” yet.

But I feel like I’ll be blindsided if I just sit around doing nothing.

I know for sure how to get home, and this time I have the Crown Prince as a strong backup, right?

So I thought I could safely return this time, which made it easy to decide to come back here.

It was a tremendous misunderstanding, though.

The senior I trusted turned out to be the greatest enemy.

“I forgot that he was one of the obsessive male leads.”

I said he was the least crazy, not that he wasn’t crazy at all.

“I can’t figure out what the senior is up to.”

Since he’s completely deviated from his role, I don’t know how he’ll act.

“He can’t imprison me… can he?”

He’s already struggling, being pushed around by Seth.

Not wanting to be caught up in rumors as the Crown Prince’s woman or mistress, all I did after coming out through the window was walk in the back garden.

The senior had prevented me from going outside the building.

Usually, I’m a homebody, but when I come here, I suddenly start liking to go out.

“Wow, there are so many uniquely shaped roses.”

I thought that if I, in the female lead position, left, maybe the real female lead would appear. But she didn’t.

Looking at the senior, or rather the Crown Prince’s case, this is definitely inside the novel and has some kind of compulsive force.

It’s ‘trying to maintain the original story.’

“Maybe she appeared and disappeared because I showed up…?”

No! No way!

Let’s stop thinking such scary thoughts!

For a moment, my legs gave out and I sat down.

“What are you doing here?”

“Eek!”

Startled, I turned around to see a man with red hair like any other rose standing there.

“Shh.”

As I put my index finger to my lips, Seth came and sat next to me.

“You’re buried in roses.”

Rose vines were hanging on both sides of me.

“Do you like the scent of roses? Or do you prefer roses among flowers?”

“I do like them, but in a very simple way.”

Suddenly struck by an ominous feeling, I grabbed Seth.

“Don’t change your perfume. The current one is just right.”

“Alright.”

Seth hugged me and sat me on his lap. I buried my nose in his neck and inhaled his scent.

The rose scent is nice, but this scent is still the best.

“You like the perfume I use this much, so why don’t you want to live with me? Hm?”

Seth’s long fingers tickled my cheek. I pretended not to hear and hugged him, and Seth chuckled softly.

Only after filling my lungs with his scent did I pull away from him.

“Did you give more work to His Highness the Crown Prince again?”

“I did, but the Crown Prince threw it away, saying he wouldn’t do it.”

Wow, the senior’s personality is no joke.

“It seems you’ve sneaked out again. Is His Highness the Crown Prince not treating you well?”

Seth started twirling my hair.

“If you come with me, you can take walks in the back garden every day and go to cafes too. Of course, cafes in the city.”

When I looked at him, Seth’s smile deepened.

It’s quite tempting.

“Let’s go to that damn Knight Commander’s, I mean, His Grace the Knight Commander’s house only once a year.”

What are you saying, you fool?

You want me to stay here for a whole year?

I left a message for my mom saying I eloped with a handsome man and would be back in a month, telling her not to file a missing person report.

Surprisingly, my mom would understand just with the words ‘handsome man’. Because that’s how she eloped with Dad.

Even so, thinking about it now, I was really out of my mind back then. I followed the senior as if I was bewitched.

“Okay, once every six months.”

As I was lost in thought and not responding, Seth was modifying the conditions on his own.

“If master wants, I can endure it up to once a month.”

I burst out laughing at the sight of Seth willing to endure something he dislikes for my sake.

Good heavens.

Seth Milan said he would endure meeting Dietrich, of all people, for me?

Seth’s pupils, staring at me without blinking, were narrower than usual, making him look like a cat. A slightly sulky cat.

I pressed his cheeks firmly.

“Want to eat before you go?”

“Is that all you have to say when you see me? You always just tell me to eat and go.”

Hey.

Where I used to live, asking someone to eat was a way of saying you want to be close friends with them, you know?

Of course, I didn’t explain this in detail.

“If you don’t like it, then leave.”

Seth pursed his lips in displeasure, then hugged me tightly.

“I’ll eat before I go.”

Contrary to his grumbling, he replied quickly, narrowing his eyes.

“Master, what have you been doing all this time? You’re not avoiding my eyes anymore?”

Is that so?

“And you’re not rolling your eyes around either.”

Seth’s fingers pressed firmly on my cheeks.

“But you still eat like an adorable squirrel.”

…Am I a species that can never be pretty to you?

“So you don’t like it?”

“No.”

Seth brought his nose close to mine, just as I had done before. Then he rubbed it gently.

After that, he pulled back slightly to gauge my reaction.

Red alert, shouldn’t you be sounding now?

Is my heart even surviving this?

His straight nose touched the tip of my nose again. I felt my nose being slightly squished, then his sharp nose tip tickled my nose up and down.

Good heavens.

I wouldn’t be surprised if I fainted right now.

Seth’s sweet scent mixed with the luxurious rose fragrance made me dizzy.

I feel like I could be devoured right now and not even realize it.

“Master.”

“Yes.”

I almost felt disappointed when Seth pulled his nose away.

“Will you come with me?”

“No.”

“Why not?”

The small head tilts to the side. The red hair flows down softly, and the slightly upturned eyes look quite mischievous.

This guy knows exactly which angle and expression make him look good.

I stood up abruptly.

“Ho ho ho ho! Shall we go get a snack?”

“You almost fell for my face just now. Didn’t you?”

Seth, who stood up after me, followed closely behind, laughing.

“No, I didn’t.”

“Oh, come on. I can tell by your ‘ho ho ho’ laugh. Master, you laugh like that when you’re flustered.”

Does this guy remember even such trivial things?

While muttering that he should pretend not to notice such things, I couldn’t help but feel a tickle rising in the corner of my heart.

You, you remembered everything about me.

Just as I remember everything about you.

Seth’s irritable and sharp demeanor had softened considerably in just a few days.

It was amazing.

That someone could change so much because of me.
