Honestly… I almost sat down right away when our eyes met.
She was beautiful.
Red pupils in white eyeballs.
Like the red and sparkling ruby in the untouched morning snow, it seemed to fall in a very artistic angle and composition.
“W-who are you?”
A jade bead rolled down my ear.
Jaika was cautious of me, but I was too busy admiring her without being able to answer.
Her small face was filled with facial features. A small nose and eyes, as well as red lips as vivid as her eyes, and the shoulder line flowing down as smoothly as water under a long and delicate neck.
Exaggerating a bit, if I had met her before Edrish, wouldn’t I have fallen for her, pretending to be Jaika’s maid?
And in that moment, what stirred my heart the most was her slender body and pale cheeks.
Can’t you even have a meal? Are you unable to sleep? It seems like there are dark circles under your eyes.
“Jaika Veloizha, right?”
Jaika quickly spoke before I could be stamped as a stranger forever.
“Do you know me?”
“I’m Cesilia Erijo.”
Jaika’s small lips tightly closed. It seemed like she understood who I was.
It was not surprising that news about Edrish Artiglado and the shocking past had already spread nationwide.
“I recognized you while passing by and came running. I apologize for the sudden intrusion.”
“……. Follow me.”
Jaika left just one word and walked ahead. I quickly followed her, watching her long, swaying hair from behind.

We settled in a cafe. We sipped tea without saying a word.
“Did you come because of Ozar?”
The moment Ozar’s name came out of her mouth, the lively eyes instantly turned lonely.
“Well, but…”
I trailed off weakly.
I had wanted to ask her confidently to stop Ozar, saying that only she could stop him. But looking at Jaika’s face, marked by hardships, I couldn’t bring myself to speak.
I was too one-dimensional in my thinking.
Could I, who she just met, ask her to stop him? Even if the novel’s Jaika eventually forgave and embraced Ozar, the process might not have been easy.
As I hesitated, Jaika spoke first.
“I’m not sure if it’s an intrusion, but I’ve heard about your story through the rumors. You lost your family because of Serbyan, just like me.”
Her words trembled slightly. Tears welled up in her double-lidded eyes. She looked like a fragile sugar doll that could break down at any moment.
“Yes, we both lost our families because of Perkop Serbyan.”
“But I can’t feel empathy. I’m sorry, but, in truth, I resent you. There were no problems before you and Artiglado appeared again.”
“I understand.”
“No, you won’t understand. It’s so difficult to resent you even when I know it’s not really your fault and to consider myself a pathetic being.”
Jaika’s gaze wandered restlessly on the table. It was like a ship lost in the open sea.
Her inner thoughts and emotions were transmitted one after another. I had followed her life through the book for a long time.
“There’s really nothing I can do about Ozar. I haven’t seen him for a long time either.”
Jaika paused for a moment. She stared down, deeply engrossed in her thoughts.
“I hope I can meet him. Then he would ask me why I deceived him at least. He might scold me or even say words of resentment.”
Although her mouth curled upward, the biting winter wind carried an intense cold that seemed to linger.
Right now, she would miss Ozar more than anyone else, and she would hate herself for feeling that way.
Jaika’s heart was too painfully close. I, too, found my eyes unexpectedly warm.
“I thought it was someone else’s doing and relied on Ozar day by day, but… that person deceived me. Even though there were countless opportunities to speak up.”
I shook my head sympathetically.
“No, there might be circumstances with Ozar as well…”
“What kind of circumstances could there be to hide such a fact?”
Jaika’s voice, which had been calm until now, became somewhat strained. Her red pupils flickered with confusion.
“It can’t be like that.”
Jaika added, her eyes quickly blinking as if surprised by her own words. Tears welled up in her eyes.
“It can’t be… like that.”
She murmured again. It seemed like tears could flow down any moment. The beautiful sugar doll was on the verge of melting.
“S-stop.”
I quickly interjected.
Jaika looked at me in surprise.
“Right now… are you crying?”
“No, I’m not… I’m not crying. Why would I cry… h-hiccup.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:

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.
