The Extra's Role is Too My Taste (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 4
With Brody’s support, the Grand Duke, who had been dragged along, lay down on the bed as if collapsing, rolling over just like before.
As expected, just like before, he held her in his arms.
And just like before, he buried his face deeply into the nape of her neck and inhaled.
“Your… Your Highness.”
Perhaps thinking that since it happened once, a second time wouldn’t be difficult.
Brody felt that he was being a bit more proactive in pleading than that day. Once again, his desperate eyes shook Brody’s heart.
‘Ah, really… There’s no helping it.’
Brody helplessly accepted his lips.
And then, once more, she passed a ‘Mesh’ leaf into his mouth.
Of course, a larger amount than last time.
‘I can’t keep giving in every time.’
Fortunately, Aidan couldn’t overcome the effects of the Mesh and fell into sleep.
But he was holding her so tightly that Brody couldn’t loosen his arms and escape.
She waited until he was deeply asleep to try to get away, but due to the Mesh leaf, she became drowsy and ended up falling asleep in his embrace.
[This is the timeline separator]At dawn, before the sun had risen, she opened her eyes.
But his arms were still wrapped around her, making it impossible for her to move.
The more she squirmed, the tighter he pulled her, so in the end, Brody gave up.
Unable to get up, she fell into thought.
‘Why on earth is this happening?’
Brody looked at Aidan, who was sleeping comfortably.
The Mesh seemed to have worked well.
Seeing someone like him, who seemed like a workaholic with sensitive senses, sleeping so deeply.
“Why do you want Mesh, Your Highness?”
Brody whispered as she brushed Aidan’s brow with her index finger.
As expected, the deeply sleeping Aidan only breathed evenly in and out, not waking up.
‘He probably doesn’t even know that what I gave him is Mesh. What he wanted might not be tea, but Mesh. Is it that he can’t sleep comfortably unless he takes this much Mesh?’
For some reason, she felt pity.
But since he didn’t know that what he consumed was the calming ‘Mesh,’ he might be craving it.
If he knew this comfort came from the drug’s effects, he would probably refuse it.
He was the one who started the rebellion, and it was wartime.
It was a moment when he needed to be more alert than anyone else, so he shouldn’t rely on Mesh.
‘It’s none of my business, though.’
If what he wanted was Mesh, it was a problem that could be solved without Brody being there.
Whether to use it or not was a choice for the Grand Duke Icewall.
‘By the way, did this man need a woman every day like this? Pretending to be innocent while pleading with different women every day?’
Thinking that way somehow made her feel bad.
The pity she felt might just be her assuming things based on his handsome appearance and aura.
After trying to escape a few more times, Brody only succeeded after some time had passed.
The now-awake Brody walked around inside the tent.
Perhaps sensing movement inside the tent, there was a sign of people outside.
‘This is bad. The guards seem to have been strengthened.’
Realizing that escaping the same way as before would be difficult, Brody frowned.
‘I’ll have to wait for the right time. I need to figure out a way to survive a few more days.’
As soon as she left Aidan’s embrace, the warmth quickly faded.
Brody shivered as she approached the brazier.
‘I hate the cold.’
Instinctively, the moment she faced death in her previous life came to mind. The moment she was trapped in a warehouse before the fire broke out, shivering all night.
She felt her face turn pale and her fingertips and toes grow coldly stiff.
‘The Grand Duke is from the north, and the imperial capital is in the central region, so we’re heading south from the north. I hate the north, the north.’
Even as she moved as close as possible to the brazier, the chilling cold that pierced her bones and seeped in didn’t go away.
Brody curled up as much as she could.
Her shoulders and back were cold, while only the parts touched by the brazier’s heat burned hotly, which felt irritating.
She missed warm electric blankets and heated floors.
For some reason, she felt aggrieved.
Her nose tingled, and tears welled up in her eyes.
But Brody bit her lip hard and held back the tears.
‘No matter how hard life is here, it won’t be as tough as my previous life. With Brody’s level of talent, it’s completely possible to live well here. Now it’s my life on the line. There’s no reason to feel this sad! Getting back up after falling is my specialty! Only think of good things!’
As she tried to immerse herself in fantasies of a happy future, still embracing the fatigue from several nights that hadn’t faded, she dozed off again and again.
“Careful!”
A moment later, at the sudden shout, Brody snapped her eyes open.
The face of the Grand Duke Icewall, with jet-black hair and blue eyes, was right in front of her nose.
Startled, Brody sat up.
‘I sat up?’
Brody naturally realized what had almost happened to her.
Aidan’s hand was between where her head had been and the brazier.
He must have caught Brody’s head with his hand as she was dozing off in front of the brazier and nearly plunged it in.
Realizing the situation, Brody blushed and bowed slightly.
It was an expression of gratitude.
‘This woman is even quieter than I am.’
Aidan, who often got scolded by his chief of staff for being too stingy with words, shook his head.
It was because he realized the two of them hadn’t even introduced themselves yet.
‘She probably knows who I am, though.’
Aidan looked at Brody, wondering how to start a conversation.
And he noticed that the corners of her eyes were red.
‘Sh…she cried.’
Aidan’s conscience pricked him.
His memory was hazy, but he had clearly spent the night with this woman.
He thought he had obtained sufficient consent, but seeing how distant she was acting toward him, it probably wasn’t entirely her will.
He regretted his behavior, but he also felt a bit wronged.
‘I really don’t know why I felt that way.’
He recalled her scent.
A fresh scent like grass, yet calmly heavy like tree bark.
Even now, the faint fragrance shook his senses madly when he buried his face in her embrace.
He had always avoided physical contact with anyone, yet strangely, he kept wanting to get closer to her.
When he finally touched her, the unfamiliar sensation made him lose his mind.
He had never spent a night with a woman.
It wasn’t that he had seriously abstained; he just hadn’t felt much desire for it.
‘But clearly, I was the one who wanted it first. With this woman…’
Moreover, he couldn’t deny that it had been quite satisfying.
From the process to the result, everything.
Deep and comfortable sleep, a refreshed body, a clear head with the headache gone.
With his condition improved, many things became clearer.
Even while running around to capture this woman, a way to conquer the impregnable fortress that had troubled them for weeks came to mind.
‘What on earth happened? What did this woman do to me? If she did something, why?’
Maybe she used an aphrodisiac or something. But how? The body search had been thorough.
If she was after the position of Grand Duchess, would she just sit there blankly like that?
Or did she want his body? No, if that were the case, she wouldn’t have cried like this or tried to escape yesterday.
This woman wants nothing from me.
So, the tea she served him seemed to be the only cause.
For the headache disappearing and the events of last night.
Perhaps because his mind was clear, for the first time since the war began, he felt hope.
To maintain this state going forward, he needed this woman.
He thought he should treat her well.
“Are you cold?”
At Aidan’s sudden question, Brody nodded.
Then Aidan draped a long cloak made of thick, black fur over her shoulders.
Since it was originally Aidan’s, when Brody wore it, it dragged on the floor.
But she definitely felt the bone-piercing cold fading.
“What’s your name?”
Why is he suddenly asking for my name?
Brody, who hadn’t intended to get deeply involved, stammered and gave a fake name.
“Br…Briyo.”
Damn. Her quick thinking and creativity were terrible. It was too similar to her real name.
“Bri, I see.”
Having a proper conversation with the Grand Duke for the first time, Brody finally looked directly into his eyes.
Facing him awake, with his eyes open, felt unfamiliar.
‘Why is he called the Grand Duke Icewall?’
He didn’t seem as cold or cruel as the rumors.
He looked scary when frowning, but now, with the vertical wrinkle between his brows gone, he felt almost gentle. Though his expression was still blunt.
As Brody stared intently at the Grand Duke, he blushed and cleared his throat awkwardly.
No one had ever looked at him so carefully before. Usually, people found it hard to even meet his eyes.
Yet this captive woman treated him calmly and leisurely.
He felt that strange feeling again.
“Your Highness. It’s time for the meeting.”
The sudden notification from the chief of staff broke the subtle atmosphere.
Aidan stood up in front of Brody with an embarrassed expression and said.
“I’ll be back. Escaping is impossible, so it’s better not to think about trying.”
Brody widened her large eyes even more, blinking as she looked at Aidan.
He hadn’t meant to speak so stiffly. Lamenting his lack of eloquence, Aidan turned away.
[This is the timeline separator]While the Grand Duke was away, Brody couldn’t go outside and waited idly in the tent.
Then, when the Grand Duke returned, she served him tea. That was the extent of her routine.
During other times, she mostly slept due to deep fatigue.
The Grand Duke, immersed in work in the tent, paid almost no attention to what the quiet Brody was doing.
With his headache gone, he processed tasks smoothly and completed battle plans as if he had thrown off shackles he usually wore.
Soon, night arrived again.
‘What he wants isn’t the tea.’
Brody was certain. Because it had failed when she served him the same tea ‘just as tea.’
So she had to serve tea with ‘Mesh’ in it.
‘But if I put in Mesh…’
The Grand Duke with unfocused eyes would plead to hold her again.
‘It would be better not to create that situation in the first place.’
Having made up her mind, Brody served him tea with an extra generous amount of Mesh.
‘With this much, he won’t try to stay awake, right?’
The amount of Mesh Brody put in was nearly lethal.
In case of side effects, her plan was to adjust by putting antidote in the next day’s tea.
Aidan drank the tea Brody brought without suspicion.
And as soon as he emptied the cup, Aidan dropped it and buried his face in the desk.
‘Su…success? No, wait, with this much… isn’t this fainting rather than sleeping?’
Startled, Brody approached Aidan.
Fortunately, Aidan was breathing up and down.
Brody groaned as she supported Aidan and moved him to the bed.
But something felt wrong.
When Brody noticed Aidan’s breathing becoming abnormal, she turned pale.
She had a premonition that Aidan might really die like this.
‘You…you put in too much!’
Brody hurriedly mixed the prepared antidote with water, held it in her mouth, and carefully poured it into Aidan’s mouth.
Since it was her first time doing this, and she was panicked seeing someone whose breath was failing, the water kept spilling elsewhere.
Only after trying several more times was Brody able to confirm that Aidan’s breathing and pulse had returned to normal.
Her face, which had turned blue, finally let out a sigh of relief.
The next day, Aidan woke up perfectly fine. His face looked refreshed from good sleep, without wrinkles between his brows. And he didn’t say anything particular to Brody.
‘It…it worked! If I just adjust the Mesh amount properly!’
She cheered inwardly.
If she found the right amount of Mesh, she planned to hand over the recipe and antidote and ask to be released.
That night, she served tea with Mesh again.
Aidan drank it without suspicion, and this time, with Brody’s support, he went to bed and gently fell into comfortable sleep.
It seemed she had successfully adjusted the Mesh amount.
Brody smiled proudly and fell asleep next to the pleasantly sleeping Aidan, turning her back to him.
However, the next morning.
Brody once again faced the Grand Duke with a grim expression.

Why don’t they explain everything from the beginning? Why start a war they can’t win? Yes, royal families are always evil villains.

What is this? They are boring heroes. Why are there no events between them?
