“Well, I must go now. I’m really busy.”
“Madam.”
Ah, again!
Every time he called me ‘Madam’, it felt strange. Somewhat cringeworthy, as if it was a pet name between couples…Of course, it’s just my imagination!
“Are you going to look for April?”
“Ah, yes, well…”
I tried to back away stealthily, but for every step I took back, Grayan advanced two. Thus, I couldn’t put any distance between us.
‘Ugh…he’s too close!’
While he was handsome, I didn’t want to see his face this up close… I might unconsciously get entranced and end up with a vacant expression!
‘His face alone is a crime, his physique too, and those eyes and voice even more so. A man whose mere presence disrupts public decency…’
This must be why the original Gloria tried so hard to make Grayan fall for her. Although she failed spectacularly. Adios, Gloria. You’re not haunting my side as a ghost, are you?…
“…Madam, why are you avoiding me.”
“…?”
…I was so flabbergasted that I lost my words. Is that something a man, who just held hands with his new bride on the first night, should say?
While I was at a loss for words, Grayan spoke in a gentle voice, as if soothing someone.
“…I thought you might be different from the rumors, seeing how you get along with April…”
Looking closely, that voice seems to be his trademark.
I must stay alert, or I’ll be enchanted. Keep your wits about you…!
“The truth is, the moment I saw April, I found her so cute that all my dislike for beastmen was healed.”
I couldn’t keep my wits about me. I blurted out nonsense again.
All because of Grayan. I don’t know where to look because he’s too close!
There’s also this nice scent… It couldn’t possibly be pheromones, right?
“…April is indeed very cute.”
Grayan scrutinized me with careful eyes, as if verifying whether I was sane.
To my shock, I was being treated like a mad woman. Bitterly laughing in my mind, ‘Ha ha ha’, I took a step back unconsciously.
“…!”
I almost fell backward tripping over nothing but quickly adjusted my stance to land safely.
As I admired my reflexes, Grayan made a few futile grabs at the air before finally lowering his arm. …He must have tried to catch me.
“Ahem…”
Embarrassed, I peeked at Grayan out of the corner of my eye.
Grayan, seemingly embarrassed too, glanced sideways, unable to look at me directly.
Feeling that it was the perfect moment to end the conversation, I put on a businesslike smile and spoke.
“Well… I should get going now. As I said, I need to find April.”
“Madam, I also…”
“Please inform me once you find April! See you!”
Grayan seemed about to say something, but I feigned ignorance and hastily left the place.
[This is the time separator]Finally out of Grayan’s sight, I could breathe freely. What a dangerous creature… I was almost enthralled.
‘My iron wall is still sturdy. Fortunately.’
I stood still, closed my eyes, and gathered my thoughts. I should start looking for April more seriously…
{Gloria.}
{Gloria!}
{We’ll help you, Gloria.}
Suddenly, multiple voices echoed in my head at once. …Was I hallucinating? Have I really gone mad?
{It’s not a hallucination.}
{It’s us, Gloria.}
“We met in a dream, didn’t we?”
“Dream? Now that you mention it…”
She suddenly remembered the enormous gem tree that was too precious to pick and sell, and the opal butterflies.
She had made a pact with the butterflies in that bizarre dream. The voices she heard now were the same as those of the butterflies. Highpitched, slender, yet jingly voices.
“Are you… in other words, butterflies of the World Tree?”
“Right!”
“You finally remember.”
“Gloria… has a poor memory.”
No, these creatures? She had simply forgotten for a moment while searching for April! And honestly, she thought it was just a dream… but she had really made some sort of contract.
It didn’t feel real somehow. Did this mean she could also use some special powers? How did she get such a cheat key?
“So, I’m no longer a simple villainous stepmother, am I?”
Hmm, she didn’t know what was what, but it seemed like she was causing the socalled original work’s destruction☆ she had only heard about. She had been sad that she didn’t have a status window, but it seemed like she had acquired something better! This was what fantasy worlds were about!
“Alright, you guys help me out! And I’m curious, what are your abilities?”
“We can go anywhere.”
“But we can’t stay too far away from Gloria for too long.”
“What we see and hear as we roam around, Gloria can also know.”
“We can make the land fertile, make buds sprout, make flowers bloom or bear fruit.”
“We can also revive dead land!”
“We can even make a dry river flow again”
“And, also…”
There was a lot.
In summary, the butterflies’ abilities seemed to be related to everything in nature.
“That’s cheating.”
It was an ability that seemed worthy of being revered as a saint or a representative of a god. The moment this ability became known, it would certainly cause a big commotion.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:

Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
