“I’m too short!”
I was utterly frustrated. If the chambermaid sisters were regular pencils, I was a stubby pencil.
Even the pet asp I brought with me was young like me, but much taller.
I was the shortest among us….
So, only I couldn’t pass through the inspection gate tall enough for adult women.
“I’m the guild leader for this party, and if it goes on like this, my face will be ruined!”
Brazenly, I grabbed the sleeve of a chambermaid sister.
“Sister.”
“Ah, yes.”
The muscular chambermaid sisters tensely grasped my arm.
“Let me in.”
Obediently following my command like loyal dogs, they giggled and nodded.
“Your Highness!”
I looked at the chambermaid sisters while wrapped tightly in a cloth bundle. Then, Deadri sister suddenly lifted me up. I was instantly at a height of around 160cm.
“The world… looks so insignificant!”
It was a staggering viewpoint.
I opened my eyes wide and slightly parted my lips. Then the inspector at the casino entrance looked at me sympathetically.
“What a shame. Such a cute child can’t come in.”
I flailed my snowwhite, ricecakelike arms toward him.
“Hmph.”
His expression turned confused at my words. There was no doubt that he was thoroughly intimidated by my grandeur. I crossed my arms sternly in front of my chest and said,
“Let me in. I am Mirmod.”
The inspector’s face turned somewhat bewildered.
I knew they wouldn’t just let me in because I said so. I narrowed my eyes and stared. The inspector cautiously spoke.
“I’ve never heard of such a cute child in the Mirmod family.”
The various misdeeds committed by the young villains of the Mirmod family were unexpectedly helpful now.
I was about to say, ‘I’m not cute, I’m evil,’ when the Deadri sister holding me smoothly intervened.
“Don’t you dare critique Sir Mirmod. Show him our family’s seal.”
The inspector’s eyes, filled with hearts when looking at me, shriveled up when he saw the sister. She was a bit intimidating. After confirming the seal, the trembling inspector asked,
“Why does the young lady of the Mirmod family visit this casino?”
The inspector had become rather humble.
Indeed, the logic of power applied everywhere in this world.
However, the way the inspector looked at me longingly made me feel like an adorable puppy on a street that couldn’t be petted due to its fearsome owner.
‘I’m not playing the role of a puppy, am I?’
I shook off the doubt and clenched my fist, displaying the most vicious smile I could muster.
“Hmph, inspector. Why would I come to a casino?”
“Hmm… to gamble and bet?”
Children are generally not allowed in casinos.
But the Mirmod family is different.
Even the children emit a villainous aura. Therefore, some bad behaviors by our family’s children were somewhat tolerated.
Furthermore, the chambermaid sisters glared, causing the inspector to quickly tuck his tail.
“We won’t question you further and will escort you inside.”
The inspector, after thoroughly checking the Mirmod family’s seal, soon relented.
Honestly, everything else was fine. I was nervous, but the most fearful thing was this.
‘This sneaky escape must absolutely remain a secret from Dad.’
If my foolish father ever found out, he might faint or even die.
I kept reminding myself of that as I nestled into the chambermaid’s embrace, entering inside. My face was wellhidden under the cloth, making me look quite menacing.
Maid sisters, me, Acid, captain.
The five of us strode forcefully into the casino.
We were looking for a dealer to buy tickets to the .
No, it was my maid sister who embraced me as we entered. She was tall with long legs, so she reached the center of the casino much faster than I could with my short, stubby legs.
As we made our way to the center, I observed the casino’s roulette and slot machines, as well as the people inside.
‘Really, some weird people here.’
This place was a haven for oddities, to the point where even a child wearing a bandana and a maid with large muscles didn’t seem out of place.
People muttering to themselves, holding a bunch of money in both hands, or continuously pulling the slot machine lever with bloodshot eyes…
I whispered softly into my maid sister’s ear.
“Let’s go to the place with the highest stakes!”
The dealer for the was at the highest stakes area. I carefully read the casino’s guide and pointed to that spot.
Everyone looked where my finger was pointing and wore shocked expressions.
“That, that one?”
“If we play this game, we’re betting our lives…”
“No, CN. Not here!”
Everyone had something to say. But I shook my head decisively.
“That’s the one.”
“But that’s Russian roulette!”
“If you make a mistake, you die!”
The rules of are quite simple.
Load a single bullet into the gun. The dealer and the participants take turns pointing the gun at their own temples and pulling the trigger. If the bullet fires, you die; if not, you survive.
The problem is this: the game is unfair.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
