Yurisien, who had been holding Benjamin for a while, released her arms. Benjamin’s stature was so large that her shoulders were getting stiff. Yurisien massaged her stiff shoulders and asked.
“What are you going to do from now on?”
The remark, ‘It’s about Lafine,’ didn’t need to be said.
“Well, for now…”
Benjamin already knew.
Didn’t Yurisien say that earlier? On the night when Benjamin came looking for Lafine and mentioned that he should clear his mind with Lafine, Yurisien actually wanted to kiss him, not shake hands.
She wanted to prioritize emotions with Benjamin over executing the plan. So the conclusion was one.
“We need to make a different plan.”
“If it’s a different plan…?”
“Tell the Duke to wait for me quietly at the mansion.”
Benjamin smiled leisurely and touched his forehead to Yurisien’s forehead. The black bangs split on both sides, revealing a slightly reddened forehead. Yurisien wished she could write ‘Benjamin’ on that forehead, but it was a pity she couldn’t do that yet.
‘I’ll do it soon.’
Not knowing what childish thoughts Benjamin was having inside, Yurisien, who found him reliable when he quickly said he would make plans, felt her heart pounding.
‘Why did the Crown Prince wish for me to see him in such a state?’
Heathcliff demanded thoroughness, perfection, and maturity in everything from Yurisien. He didn’t want to see any childish behavior from her, and if she seemed weak, he scolded her rather than giving comfort.
At the time, Yurisien thought it was a comforting and supportive word that held her and helped her. Looking back, it was a bit different from that.
‘But I’m curious about Crown Prince, who is such an adult, having immature aspects.’
Yurisien wondered if such an adult man had immature parts. Moreover, if there were such parts, she hoped that in those aspects, she could be a bit more mature and lead Benjamin.
At that moment, Mitchell, who had run away like fleeing, came in with an expressionless face. Although she didn’t pull the rope, Yurisien was curious how he knew and knocked. Suddenly, Ivan’s story came to mind.
[We also have signals that guild members use. We have separate communication devices. I do the infiltration most frequently, but it doesn’t mean I act unilaterally. Then you’ll end up like now, beaten by Cali.]Although Andersen and Daisy treated him, Ivan’s appearance was not a joke. Worried about him, Yurisien informed him that he did something wrong.
“Then see you later.”
“Yeah. Be careful. I…”
Benjamin didn’t personally see her off for a reason that Yurisien also knew, so she just shrugged and smiled.
“I’ll escort you to the carriage.”
Yurisien left the Imperial Palace with Mitchell. Watching Mitchell walking ahead, Yurisien’s mind was blank for a moment. As if shouting, she suddenly said,
“Noopa!”
“Yes?”
Mitchell, who turned around in surprise, Yurisien covered her lips and said,
“Oh, sorry. It’s nothing, just the old man we met at the cabin where my father was protected. Do you remember him in Sieron?”
“Ah…”
Mitchell, who had paused for a moment, chuckled.
“How did you know?”
“The way you walk is the same. I remember the strange walk of that old man vividly.”
“You have an amazing eye for detail.”
Mitchell admired. Yurisien, who had been constantly observed and investigated by Mitchell for Benjamin in every aspect, knew better than anyone, but it was surprising that he even had good eyes.
“I hear stories that my disguise is perfect… I thought it wouldn’t show because it was covered by an old skirt I wore as Noopa.”
Mitchell, moving leisurely, said. Yurisien looked at Mitchell’s back and said,
“The way someone walks isn’t judged solely by silky legs. The movement of the shoulders, the angle of the arms, and even the stride all contain the characteristics of a person.”
“Oh, I remember it being quite a short time, indeed. You are truly impressive.”
“I was more sensitive because it was someone who escorted my father.”
If it was uncomfortable, Yurisien added, apologizing. Mitchell smiled happily and tilted his head. Then, standing in front of the carriage, he sent warm eyes to Yurisien.
“I must have made the lady uncomfortable. Even if it’s a request from His Highness the Crown Prince, or even if it’s a request, I am the one who observed and reported on the lady. After you’ve grown to a certain extent, His Highness the Crown Prince did it himself.”
“Uh… no. Honestly, I’m worried about what I’ve reported and how much. But…”
Yurisien took a deep breath, raised her shoulders, and then exhaled, answering with a relieved expression.
“As embarrassing, foolish, and lacking in affection as I think I am aware of everything… it’s actually comforting. Whatever appearance I show in the future, there won’t be anything for His Highness the Crown Prince to hate just by that.”
“Oh, of course. Lady. Even if His Highness the Crown Prince publicly declares that you knead meju with red beans, there will be someone who insists that the lady is right.”
“Even if I create a way to knead meju with red beans?”
“Yes.”
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.
