Early in the morning, I had not slept enough due to the rush, and I fell asleep while leaning on Sicar’s chest.
While I was sleeping, I heard Sicar muttering things like ‘You’ve really hit the jackpot. You’re the first woman to be held in my arms, know that it’s an honor.’ But, the afternoon nap, under the onslaught of sleepiness, was only sweet.
When I opened my eyes after enjoying a good nap, Sicar was asleep, resting his head on mine.
“Are you not going to lift this heavy head?”
I had no choice but to worry about how to wake this person without offending him.
At that moment, I saw Lucy walking by in front of my eyes. Although she was trembling all over, she seemed to be Lucy, wearing an expensive fur hat and fur coat, which only the children of the nobility could wear.
Like in the original work, Lucy was walking down this quiet country road, shivering.
Originally, Kian, who had followed her, would carry Lucy and turn back, but Kian couldn’t go because he was now resting well in the mansion.
I didn’t have time to think deeply, so I woke up Sicar by touching his sensitive spot a little.
In other words, I slightly poked his side, where Sicar felt the most ticklish.
“Ha ha ha!”
Waking up with a strange laughter, Sicar seemed to realize the reality and glanced at me.
“What are you doing?”
“Wake up quickly! There, Lucy has appeared!”
Sicar blinked a few times, spotted Lucy, and immediately got off the carriage.
When I tried to follow him down, Sicar closed the carriage door and said.
“It’s cold outside, stay inside. Don’t bother coming out.”
Still… I thought I should be there if we wanted to bring Lucy along, like a kind older sister, so I got off the carriage.
And I also brought the shawl that Sicar didn’t manage to bring.
“I told you to stay in.”
“Your face is not the kind that children like right now. What if Lucy sees you and runs away.”
“Well, it’s intimidating enough for even children to cramp.”
‘Not a laughing matter.’
“And you didn’t bring your shawl. I’ll go first, so you follow quietly behind and watch. See how I bring the protagonist Lucy along.”
Sicar made a snorting noise and spoke with a face that didn’t expect anything at all.
“Let’s see.”
When I looked forward, Lucy, who had been walking with drooping shoulders without energy, seemed to have found us and raised her eyebrows like a tense kitten.
I approached Lucy slowly with a warm smile.
“Hello, child. Are you walking here alone in this cold weather? Did you get lost?”
Lucy didn’t answer immediately, looked at the carriage behind me once, then looked back at me.
“Are you… ”
Then she made a thoughtful face and opened her mouth again.
“Are you from the Blake family?”
She seemed to have noticed that it was Blake from looking at the carriage doorplate. As expected, my favorite heroine was definitely smart.
“That’s right. I’m Yura Blake, the Duchess of the Blake family. If you’ve lost your way, I’ll take you home. Won’t you get on the carriage?”
Lucy glanced at Sicar behind me and greeted me by gently lifting the hem of her dress.
“Hello. I pay my respects to Your Grace. I’m Lucy Yukanadar, the second daughter of the Earl of Yukanadar.”
How can she be so smart and speak so beautifully? Our Kian also grew up like a commoner living in a shanty with dad so far, but if he starts lessons now, he would become a cultured noble like Lucy, wouldn’t he?
I slightly opened my mouth in feigned surprise.
“So, the second daughter of the Yukanadar family, Lucy, is rumored to be so beautiful and intelligent, and you were that girl.”
Lucy smiled as she seemed to like my compliment.
“I don’t know what to do with such an excessive compliment. Your Grace.”
Is this the joy of raising a daughter? Lucy’s words and actions were so cute that I didn’t know what to do. She was so cute and lovable that I really wanted to give her a peck on the cheek.
‘Just like the heroine who has everything.’
“Lucy. I won’t ask how you came to be here alone. But, I can’t leave you alone in this cold weather. We want to take you to the Earl’s house, would you like to get on the carriage if that’s okay?”
Lucy bowed her head slightly, holding her hands together politely.
“Just in time, I needed help. If you would permit me, I know it might be an inconvenience, but allow me to assist you.”
I offered a shawl to Lucy as if to accept.
“Oh, I brought an extra shawl from the carriage. It’s going to be cold, so it’s best to cover yourself with this.”
“Thank you, your grace.”
I covered Lucy’s back with the warm shawl and tightly held her hand.
“Let’s go now.”
Once on the carriage, Lucy also greeted Sicar who was in front.
“Hello. Greetings to your grace. I am Lucy Yukanadar, the daughter of Count Yukanadar.”
“So you’re the daughter of that Leydocks. Get on the carriage.”
Lucy momentarily wore a sullen expression at Sicar’s fierce gaze but soon turned her eyes towards me.
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.”
