This is the Duke’s residence.
A luxurious and elegant room. Olivia looked around the room with somewhat dull eyes.
There were rumors that the Duke’s residence was a gloomy den within the walls of the fortress, but the place she had entered was a welldecorated mansion, enviable to other estates.
“Rest well. I hope this place becomes comfortable for you.”
Olivia chewed on the Duke’s words and suddenly smiled.
The Duke was quickwitted. He omitted the polite saying, “Think of it as your home and be comfortable.”
Perhaps he caught on a little. Why I left the mansion at this time.
A heavy sigh escaped Olivia’s newly sealed lips. As the tension eased, her shoulders and back of her hands twitched. Olivia consciously ignored her reddened back of the hand.
Instead, with a much clearer mind than before, she drew up various plans.
A knock was heard from outside.
When Olivia answered, a maid entered. Except for the bright strawcolored hair, she had a similar image to Sally.
Certainly, here’s the translated passage, adhering to the provided guidelines:
“Good to see you, Miss. I am Hana, the Duke’s maid. I have come to ask if there is anything uncomfortable or needed.”
Her face was tense. Olivia’s smile brightened Hana’s face.
“Very comfortable and good. Thank you.”
Indeed. Although she hadn’t brought a single dress, the closet was filled with dresses, sleepwear slips, outdoor shoes, and even jewelry. The Duke’s residence had everything prepared, all in her exact size.
“Speak comfortably. You are an honored guest of this Duke’s residence. If you need anything, pull this cord at any time. I will prepare anything right away.”
“Anything?”
“Yes! His Majesty said to fulfill whatever you want!”
Hana’s face was slightly excited. Olivia made a small request to that face. Hana blinked her eyes at the request.
“…Really, are you departing tomorrow at dawn? And in a carriage without a crest? Is that okay?”
“It’s overflowing in the garage.”
Olivia smiled brightly.
And when Hana had left, Olivia curled her body in the darkened room. No matter how much she curled up, her broken inside felt hollow.
It was a sleepless night.
Every time she closed her eyes, faces floated up, and Olivia clenched her teeth.
Don’t cry.
But when the pitchblack darkness receded and just before the sunlight came in.
Unbeknownst to anyone, Olivia’s eyes were slightly damp.
[This is the time separator]Through the glass, a faint morning came in. The Duke was gazing out the window. A carriage was crossing the garden and heading out the gate.
“Miss has gone to the Imperial Palace.”
Howard reported crisply. The Duke looked outside until the carriage was out of sight. When the carriage disappeared, the Duke looked at the note in his hand.
Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. For now, I have decided to reside in the Crown Prince’s Palace as the fiancée of His Highness, the Crown Prince. I will invite you soon. To the always kind person. Olivia Madellaine.
“…Anyway. A sharp Miss. As in the past or now.”
A captivating murmur ended with a sigh. The Duke glanced at the desk with longing eyes. A pile of letters in elegant colors was lying there. The sender, written in graceful handwriting, was ‘Lev Green.’
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.”
