“My friends. They all come from the Fleur family.”
“Nice to meet you!”
The Fleur siblings greeted Sasha with a bright smile.
“I’m Ronowe Masha Fleur!”
Ronowe elegantly and cutely greeted, lifting her dress’s hem.
“I’m Calyle Pasinelli Bergamot.”
Beris hid behind Ronowe, blushing, and Calyle greeted formally, placing one hand on his chest.
“I am Sasha Deive Vladimir from the Vladimir family, here to assist Your Highness in learning.”
Sasha introduced himself with a sly smile.
“Your Highness! We’ve been playing hide and seek!”
“Join us!”
No sooner had they introduced themselves than the Fleur siblings ran up to me, begging to play.
“Join us~ big brother, let’s continue playing hide and seek.”
Apparently not content with just clinging to me, Beris also asked Calyle to play together.
“Alright.”
Unable to refuse their eager request, Calyle agreed.
“Will Your Highness also participate?”
On the other hand, Ronowe asked me to join the game of hide and seek, her eyes twinkling, and I hesitated to answer.
“Do I have to be ‘it’ again?”
But before we started, Beris began to cry, saying she was tired of being ‘it’.
“Then I’ll be ‘it’ first.”
Sasha volunteered to take Beris’s place.
“Start!”
At that moment, the Fleur siblings, as if waiting for that moment, loudly announced the game’s start and hid their bodies.
‘I didn’t say I’d play?’
How did it turn out like this? I was puzzled by the situation’s flow but decided to hide anyway.
I searched for a hiding place and came behind a large bush.
I was worried that someone might be following me, so I peeked out my face, but luckily no one was chasing me.
“Phew…….”
At that moment of relief…
“Shh.”
“!”
Calyle, who I hadn’t realized was hiding in the same spot, came close and put his index finger on his lips, gesturing for me to be quiet.
“Are you okay?”
“Uh, yes.”
I thought as I looked at Calyle, who was asking in a low voice.
‘I was surprised.’
I almost screamed.
“Let’s hide here together. Sasha won’t come this far.”
“Okay.”
I wished for it to be over quickly and slumped to the ground.
“Your Highness.”
“Huh?”
At that moment, Calyle spoke softly.
“I can also teach you about studies. I’ll learn for you.”
I was taken aback.
‘What is he talking about?’
Thinking about his sudden talk about studies, I realized.
‘Ah, does he like teaching kids?’
Thinking of Ronowe and Beris, who love jumping around, I concluded it wasn’t unreasonable.
‘Calyle must be helping those little troublemakers with their studies.’
I propped my chin and smiled.
“Ugh, how annoying~.”
She then gave a positive response.
“Yeah, thanks.”
Feeling quite proud, she smiled as brightly as she could.
“Eek~! Caught!”
At that moment, the sound of rustling and Ronowe’s voice was heard from afar.
“Haha, I found you.”
“Shh.”
Sasha, who was playing the role of the seeker, laughed cheerfully, but Ronowe was displeased at being discovered.
“Beris is here too!”
Then, perhaps feeling unjustly caught first, Ronowe appeared, dragging the hidden Beris.
“Sis, that’s too much!”
“What’s too much!”
Because of this, the Fleur siblings momentarily bickered, and Sasha spoke loudly, as if wanting to be overheard.
“Then the remaining people are… Princess and Prince Carlisle. Where could you both be?”
I tried my best to stay still so I wouldn’t be caught.
But, my leg hurt, and I unknowingly shifted and rustled.
“Don’t come, don’t come!”
Soon, I heard the sound of approaching footsteps and tensed.
Ironically, I had wished for the game of tag to end quickly, but as I was about to be caught, my mind changed. I pressed my lips tightly with both hands for fear my breathing might be heard.
My gaze kept drifting towards the bushes.
“Could she be here…?”
Before long, Sasha was very close.
Suddenly!
Just before being caught, I grabbed Carlisle’s wrist and started to run.
“Pr, Princess?”
Carlisle looked at me with a bewildered face at the sudden action.
“We can’t be caught like this!”
I answered very urgently and moved my legs with all my strength.
“Run!”
I shouted loudly at the end.
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.”
