“No, if we go to Robeiro directly, surely something else will come up.”
“Yes, we might find something more in the wolf’s land. But…”
Worry filled Tesmillion’s face.
“I will go myself.”
Idrish spoke calmly, but a determined will could be felt.
I quickly raised my hand.
“Me too! I want to go too.”
“You too?”
Tesmillion furrowed his brow.
I nodded quickly. I couldn’t let misunderstandings deepen by not going. I must guide Idrish properly. That way, I can prevent a national explosion.
Right, they can’t do anything without me.
“It’s not possible.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Why should Cecilia go? Stay at the mansion. The outside is dangerous… Anyway, you can’t.”
“But I have to go… I want to go, I want to.”
“There will be no danger as I am going. We will go together.”
Idrish unexpectedly took my side.
That’s right, curse!
“Yes. And with me by Idrish’s side, Idrish can be more powerful. You never know, suddenly the curse may worsen, and Idrish may be in a lifethreatening situation.”
Tesmillion said nothing. He seemed to be searching for a reason to counter my perfect logic.
“Idrish is… Idrish is sturdy, so it’s fine.”
“What?”
Tesmillion’s ears turned slightly red. It seems even he thought his reasoning was a bit strange.
“We’ll go together.”
Idrish didn’t miss the chance and struck. This time, even Tesmillion couldn’t say anything else.
Idrish and I walked side by side out of Tesmillion’s room. Walking down the corridor, I imagined Robeiro territory. Robeiro is one of the three major territories of Derod Kingdom, so it must be bustling. Since coming to this world, I’ve only been to Baekho’s secluded mansion, Neron village, and Neron territory, so it’s natural to be excited.
Besides, last time I went to Neron territory, I didn’t get to properly look around as I was on the run.
I was already excited.
“Then we can go to Neron tomorrow to buy this and that, right?”
Idrish said we could send a servant, but that would be slower, so he wanted to do it himself. I also found this more fun and agreed wholeheartedly.
“How far is Robeiro territory from here?”
“13 days by carriage.”
I gaped.
“Heeek! That’s so far!”
“Horses need to rest at night.”
“Ugh, we’ll get old on the way. What about the train?”
“Train? I don’t know.”
Idrish’s reaction was sour. Why?
“Don’t you take the train?”
“Nobles usually don’t take it.”
“Public transportation, is that why? But I saw last time when buying tickets that there were first class to third class, weren’t there?”
“But I’d rather not spend a few days with many Suin.”
“Oh my, a few days with many Suin on the train? That will be so fun!”
I clapped my hands in excitement.
I was so, so, so curious about the other Suin.
Honestly, I’ve been so busy adapting to this world that I haven’t paid attention to them, Suin. How fascinating? I wonder if a horse Suin will have a long face, or if a shepherd dog Suin will have lots of hair.
My curiosity, which wasn’t satisfied by the occasional questions I asked Idrish, flared up strongly as we were about to board the train.
“Can’t we take the train? It seems like it would be faster than a carriage. There were even sleeping cars. Yes? Yeah? Please! I’m so curious!”
I grabbed the hem of Idrish’s clothes and pleaded. Idrish touched his forehead as if annoyed.
I slightly withdrew and let go of Idrish’s clothes.
So it’s not possible. Well, a carriage is fine too.
“If you want, we can check out the train.”
“Really?”
“Yes. We can take the train to Central, and then a carriage afterward. But if we do that.”
Idrish stopped and looked at me. His eyes slowly scanned me from the top of my head to my feet. I took a step back. Really, I think I should order Idrish not to stare at me like that.
Lately, just looking at me like that makes my chest tickle. It was an uncomfortable feeling, like a sneeze that feels like it’s going to come but doesn’t.
“Why, why?”
Idrish reached out and lightly grasped my hair. The red strands flowed smoothly between his big, white fingers.
It’s strange. Even though I’m sure I can’t feel anything in my hair.
Each strand felt like sensitive skin, standing on edge.
“Why, why are you touching someone else’s hair…….?”
“You’ll have to hide your hair color. You can’t wear a hat all the time.”
“Do I have to dye it? You too, Idrish?”
I wanted to do the same, so I reached out to Idrish’s hair with a defiant foot. The hair, smoother than Baekho’s fur, touched my hand.
“Yes, me too.”
It was the same short answer as usual, but it sounded strangely gentle. Weird.
“Then we have a lot to prepare…….,”
I babbled on about nothing in particular.
That’s when it happened.
“Cecilia!”
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
