Chapter 13

Rosetta woke up a little after daybreak

Just before the sky turned blue

As she blinked away her drowsiness, she took a pillow and covered her face with it after reht before

‘Just what have I done…’

She cried like a child while clinging onto Alicia

She must have been out of her mind because she was injured

Her body felt too hot and it was like she was drunk, but without the nausea

But instead of alcohol, she had been delirious with a fever No, in the first place, it would have been better if she wasn’t delirious at all

Absorbed in justifying the shaht flashed across hertime since I cried like that in front of so’s for sure—she never cried like that in years

No Perhaps it was her first time

She wasn’t sure what the exact ansas At the very least, it wasn’t in herwell to this new life of hers

It hadn’t been long since she transs that were out of character for her

She didn’t know if this was a green light or a red light

Going down from her bed, she felt less ashaet Just forget it”

As she stretched, she muttered to herself

There was no need to dwell on shameful memories What’s done is done

Besides, the present wasunder waves of shahtly stretching her neck, she went to her desk and sat down

Relying on the original Rosetta’s memories, she took out a clean piece of paper and picked up a quill, which she wetted with ink

Then, she wrote

「 Mob-Alicia Project 」

That was the na fro an e face in front of Alicia, but at least her determination not to let her suffer was sincere

It was the determination not to let that child walk the same path as her

She would need to interfere with the original narrative, but just thinking about it already tired her out and made her feel like there were hives all over her body But it couldn’t be helped

She already made up her mind to save Alicia from the fate of the female lead

She patted the blank space under the title with her quill’s tip, then recalled the original

Just as you’d need to go to a forest to find a tree, you’d need to find a keyword to change the narrative

She closed her eyes, then opened the before she could hear the sound of pages turning

‘Is this the Carter fainal, Leo and Alicia met and talked for the first time at that funeral

It was set to take place around the su an interest in Alicia

‘If I tell her not to attend the funeral…’

No, that wouldn’t work

She wouldn’t be able to change fate just by covering Alicia’s eyes

There were other hunting events and coe banquets where they could meet

noble men and women ere about to reach adulthood were also required to participate in events hosted by the Imperial family

Rosetta took comfort in the fact that there were still a few months left before the funeral

She erased the first method from her mind Then, she dove more into the novel

Leo, who becaradually fall in love with her after a few serendipitous encounters

What began as a subtle attention grew in intensity during the coe ball

Since Leo’s father passed away and he becae, the rest of the novel became an unbridled succession of ‘mad obsession’ without any brakes on it

Alicia was overwhelmed by his callous affection and obsession, but she couldn’t push him away easily

There were two main reasons for that…

First, Alicia’s personality

Katie had abused her for a long period of time, and her older sister, Rosetta, asn’t close to her family, hated Alicia

Her environ her extre people

For Alicia, it was the first time that anyone paid attention to her as reeak to hi able to deal with him at all

Second, Leo’s position

The Duchy of Valentine

The Duchy of Freesia

The Duchy of Carter

These three families served as pillars to the Khaic

These three strong pillars had a relationshi+p with each other to keep each other in check under equal power

Leo was the heir to the Duchy of Carter, and at an early age, beca the fa Duke and the Ducal Princess

It would have been too much for the timid Alicia to reject hi for succession, she could have avoided him However, when he became Duke and put pressure on her, Alicia becaed across the land

Leo was a e of Alicia’s weak mental state

Her trauma, her relationshi+p with her family, and her family’s political position All of it

’What if your faets hurt and your household collapses? What if a war breaks out…’

In fact, these orries that she already had

He was obsessed

Those worries became reality

No matter how much she tried to avoid him, cruel fate did not allow her to be happy

By the end of the novel, Leo wanted to bring down the Valentines just to get his hands on Alicia co one by one That hat happened in this wretched tragedy

The only one left from Valentine was Alicia

Rosetta, Damian, and Duke Valentine

They were all just helpless sacrifices to that cruel fate

At the end of it, Leo took in the female lead as the only one left and kept her in his possession forever

‘What a load of crap’

Hoas she able to stand reading it?

In particular, she didn’t like the fact that ‘Leo’ hadn’t faced any repercussions only because the genre of the novel was like this

…Because she herself had experienced it

’Please stop, please… Don’t touch my family! Just… I’d rather that you… I…’

An empty cry echoed in her mind

It wasn’t Alicia, and it wasn’t Rosetta

It hadn’t been a month yet, but… she didn’t knohy her throat was closed up

“Rita”

She said her nah she was surprised by her own voice
