“Why would you be in trouble? The Empress, me, told you to sit! And no matter how delicious something is, it’s tasteless if you eat alone! Let’s eat together! Together!”

In Ermedillin’s eyes, Loony, who was still in her teens, looked like a cute younger sister.

Ermedillin stroked Loony’s thick and dark blonde hair once and fed her dessert again.

“Goodness! Our Loony eats so well!! Beautiful!!”

The taste was there, but Loony’s eyes narrowed at Ermedillin, who suddenly treated her like a baby.

“I eat alone every day for meals and dessert. I just wish someone was by my side sometimes.”

Eating alone was tedious.

She became suddenly alone after growing up bustling in an orphanage.

Of course, she had a boyfriend, but with their busy lives focused on school and work, they barely lived together.

Eating alone was depressing.

In the orphanage, she was always busy taking care of her siblings, but she liked having someone at the table with her.

However, her past life was so intense that even loneliness felt like a luxury.

When she returned home after work and parttime jobs, she just shoved food in her mouth to live, and it was a daily routine of going back to sleep.

‘I can feel lonely because my body is relaxed.’

Anri always dined with Valierre, and the maids who would serve them tea never visited.

So even after possession, Ermedillin had to eat alone all the time.

She didn’t need a husband who hated her or a maid who ignored her.

A shy maid, no, this girl who said she liked the Empress, was much more comfortable and pleasant.

At Ermedillin’s words, Loony looked pitiful.

“There’s no need for that. I’m eating and living well enough, so, come on, have another bite!!”

Ermedillin quickly pushed the next dessert into her mouth as tears seemed to well in Loony’s deep brown eyes.

By the time the enjoyable brunch was nearing its end, word came that Valierre had collapsed.

Although she wanted to clap her hands in glee at the thought, Ermedillin’s heart was uneasy, knowing that the woman inside her had just become an adult.
‘Yes. You must have been under a lot of stress. Let’s talk again.’

Ermedillin, who went to Velia’s place.

Velia’s maids were suspicious and guarded, but after all, the opponent was the empress, and they eventually gave way.

Ermedillin strengthened her resolve, looking at Loony, who was glaring at Velia’s maids by her side.

The first feeling of having someone on my side since coming here.

‘I want to get along with Mago quickly….’

Seeing Mago, who still seems awkward and shriveled, reminds her of a child who was particularly timid even in the orphanage.

‘Is she adapting well?’

Thinking that she was unnecessarily worrying about a world that had nothing to do with her, she entered the bedroom and saw Velia lying on the bed.

Rather than lying down, she was in a stretchedout state, not having regained consciousness yet.

“Oh my….”

Her once rosy peachcolored pretty cheeks had no color in them. Her pale face was even dripping with cold sweat.

Ermedillin is 27 years old, Anri is the same age, and Velia is two years younger at 25.

In the novel, they are of similar ages, but inside Ermedillin is a 27yearold adult, and inside Velia is a young woman who has just turned twenty.

Ermedillin looked at Velia’s childish face, still without all its baby hair, and recalled a young soul that would be trembling in fear inside, a word that better fit her than a woman: a girl still.

‘Yes. Since I’m even a year older, let’s bear with it and take care of her. Our goal is the same anyway.’

With a sympathetic heart, Ermedillin dipped a towel that was lying next to the bed in cold water and wrung it out by hand.

Then she carefully wiped off the cold sweat that had formed on Velia’s forehead.

“What is it? What are you doing?”

How long had she been doing that? Velia’s cracked voice was heard, having regained consciousness.

“Ah, you’ve woken up. I was worried because you fainted….”

Thwack!

Without even listening to Ermedillin’s words, Velia slapped her hand holding the towel.

“Worry? Wow, your acting skills are no joke? You think I don’t know that you’re pretending to be nice to push me away?”

Her eyes were wide open. She had been worried enough to come looking for her, but what was this?

“I just came because I was really worried about you. Can’t I say even this much?”

“What? Just this much? Unbelievable. In my previous life, someone like you wouldn’t have been able to speak to me. You know?”

“…….”

Ermedillin recalled Velia’s attitude when they had briefly introduced themselves, her false modesty and the way she had particularly emphasized her family background.

She remembered the twitching corners of her eyes when she had said she was an orphan.

She couldn’t believe it, but it seemed that the thing inside Velia was a spoiled thirdgeneration chaebol who loved to abuse her power.

“You seem to have done some abuse of power, huh? From the way you keep talking like that?”

Ermedillin decided not to hold back anymore.

It was a person who had no value for compassion, with such a character despite having been born with everything from the beginning, and now her life had become affluent and leisurely.

“Talking about abuse of power and sitting down. Our house wasn’t so uncouth. Why is this abuse of power? I’m just protecting what was originally mine.”

“What was originally mine? Neither you nor I are the original owners.”

“Now I’m the owner. And you, your words and actions are too different. You said you’re not attached to the empress’s position?”

“Right. I’m not attached. Really. I just have to get out of here alive.”
Ermedillin looked at Velia with desperate eyes, hoping that her sincerity would reach her, but Velia’s light brown pupils grew even colder.

“No. There’s no need for that now! Before you die, I will become the empress myself and set fire to your body. I won’t stand idly by anymore. I must protect what’s mine. I’ve always been someone who does everything herself. Unlike your expectation that I would be a tyrant chaebol.”

It was too shocking. Even though she was fearless, Ermedillin never expected her to say she would set fire herself, so cold sweat began to flow down her back.

To confirm the bottom of humanity in such a strange world.

And then, suddenly, a large hand appeared and caressed Velia’s cheek.

“Have you awakened?”

At Henri’s sudden appearance, both Ermedillin and Velia froze at the same time.

‘When did he get here?’

An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most

One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.

This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:

1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.

It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.

(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)

2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.

The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.

3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.

Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).

Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.

Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.

4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).

5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
