Chapter 19 (1/2)

Since the day I cried in my mother’s arms, my family has not gone out beyond necessity from the forest house.

It was because of Ricarda’s opinion that I could be lonely.

In that opinion, my mother declared that she would come home and finish it when she had enough work left to work overtime.

The same was true for Lennox and Ricarda.

My day has not changed much since I woke up. I wake up in the morning and say hello to my family in a friendly way. After receiving Ricarda’s treatment, I eat breakfast, then take my medicine, and at last, see my family off.

I also study hard for the writing that my mom gives me as my homework.

My family doesn’t want to leave me alone.

Mom, Lennox, and Ricarda all took turns to become my guardians of the day one by one.

‘Sometimes it seemed to me that there was a bit of a fight going on with this.’

When I remembered Ricarda’s face complaining that it was his turn to go to work, I laughed out loud.

The trembling corners of my mouth were awkward, but I think my smile has gotten more natural than before.

Looking at the mirror in the Oval Office, I thought to myself, nodded, and focused on my homework again.

It was already past ten p.m.

‘It’s usually my bedtime.’

While scribbling, I thought of today’s day.

The cocoa made by Ricarda and Lennox coffee were side by side, so I was confused and drank the coffee all the way.

And both of them were scolded by mother.

Because Lennox had a cup of coffee next to cocoa, Ricarda couldn’t tell the difference between cocoa and coffee and handed it over.

Both looked upset, but I was immediately surprised to hear that my heart was beating fast.

‘They almost went wild again thinking whether or not they fed me a poison.’

As I recalled these days, everything was fun, so my lips kept shaking.

Naturally, my body, which wasn’t resistant to caffeine, continued to make my heart pound.

Eventually, I couldn’t sleep at night, so I was studying together in my mother’s office until a while ago.

It’s been a while since she went by clock saying that she had to hurry over to the Merchants’ group in the capital.

It’s good to have a pleasant thought, but after looking back at the clock and homework, my neck got a little stiff.

‘Ah, this is confusing. I’ll ask mom when she comes.’

I drew stars next to the confusing letters and then wrote down the next word.

After studying for a long time, the clock suddenly began to shine.

When someone arrived, the magic attached to the watch shone, so I thought that my mom had returned and raised my head.

“You are bac…”

But my words didn’t last long.

It wasn’t Mom that popped out of the clock.

A slender figure dressed in black appeared along with a small figure.

Without knowing the situation at the moment, I realized that I had forgotten what role my place was playing.

Instinct said.

This is the moment when the male protagonist from the second part of the novel appears.

‘But how come there are two?’

Come to think of it, I couldn’t tell who the male lead was because there were few descriptions of his childhood appearance.

‘Which one is it?’

Even the lights in the room were turned off, and only the lamps around the desk were turned on, so I could not see their faces in detail.

‘They used to say that when the protagonist was a boy, his appearance was very peculiar. I think they said he wasn’t human.’

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t remember the details of his appearance.

‘I remember being frustrated because there was no detailed description until the end of the story.’

Wait, isn’t this a dangerous situation?

I could see that the tallest of the two was looking at me then hesitating.

You tried to run without hesitation, but you stopped as soon as you saw me?

‘Clearly the male protagonist… was caught trying to kill his mother….’

I also stared at them blankly, grasping the situation and hardening my expression.

In the meantime, they flew back this way as if they had finished organizing their thoughts.

‘Is this the male lead?’

It seemed that the story was correct seeing him throw his body to attack.

Despite the priority that the attack should be avoided, I couldn’t do anything.

I couldn’t move by myself because I hurt my leg.

If they were determined to kill and attack properly, it would be inevitable.

‘Why is it today of all days?’

Usually, it’s time to sleep. But today was a little different from usual. The day I’m awake.

There were also mistakes by Lennox and Ricarda that they wouldn’t normally do, and mother rushed out unexpectedly.

As if it was trying to force me into the flow of this story.

‘… Isn’t something weird?’

But before I could even think about it, one of the two reached me.

The man who caught me threw me back without giving me time to struggle.

I forced myself down to the floor and fell with a thud.

“Ah!”

When I let out a painful groan after I fell and hit my back, the person who seemed to be a man grabbed my neck and lifted me.

When I was lifted with the weight on my back, the clothes tightened my throat, and I began to choke.

“Who are you? Where’s the Guild Master (1) ?”

“Ugh!”

Of course, I had no intention to answer, but this man seems to have forgotten that he was holding my neck.

I exhaled roughly as if I were forced to squeeze out my narrow breathing hole.

The less I answered, the more nervously the man looked back.

The smaller figure next to the man stood quietly staring at us.

At first glance, he looked like a tall boy.  However, I couldn’t see well because it was dark, and most of all, I couldn’t afford to look at him because the front became blurry.

“Keuc-.”

“Damn it! First I’ll start by killing you!”
