Episode 2

Episode 2

This is not the name of the male protagonist?

If you count the gloomy names in Loffan's novels, whether Kilian or Carlyle, there will be dozens.

Besides, it's a'princess'. The 1st rank of the South hero Ropan is North Gong, no matter who says it.

'Come! It's a male heroine!'

So the main characters of this novel are Sophia Fraus and Killian Bifrons Rebellon.…

Wouldn't it be hard to remember the contents of this novel if the name of the main character came out?

I scoured the wrinkles in my head and stared intently at the stationery.

But the ingenuous brain seemed reluctant to make a title.

'I read too many novels, so I'm not sure!'

How unhappy. I don't remember it well because I read it regardless of the hit or miss.

In the beginning, Sophia and Killian were common names in Lofan novels.

I was a lot embarrassed because I didn't remember the title, but I found composure.

'It's fine. There is big data based on a huge amount of reading...!'

Even if you don't remember every piece of work, the accumulated experience is alive! If you follow the formula of the Lopan world, there will be no big problem.

I reluctantly opened the letter. And after reading it a few times, I was able to quickly understand the situation of this novel.

[The Imperial decision led to an engagement, but they never saw each other. It seems to avoid me on purpose... ]

[I know my situation will be disappointing compared to the honor of the Duke of the Northern Territory. But I need this engagement. It's okay to get married and divorce...]

Contract marriage.

I shook my head at the apparent unfolding that made me sick.

Engagement arranged by the Imperial Court. Sophia wanted to escape from this old attic because of her engagement to Killian.

Conscious of the Emperor's orders and the Earl's wealth, Killian accepted the engagement.

But he was unmoved by his fiancée.

'It's common.'

The future was drawn as if it were in front of me.

After a gloomy marriage, Sophia decides to divorce him, and Killian will be like a beast.

"You can't go anywhere."

The first unwritten rules of romance novels.

The divorce proposal was the starting point of marriage.

From it, the obsession of a man will sprout, and a woman will find true love!

'Well, North Korea does not tolerate divorce!'

He threw the finished letter into a desk drawer and prophesied like Nostradamus.

However, I am deeply reflecting on these 'hasty generalizations'in the future.

Knock.

There was a loud banging on the attic door.

I hurriedly put the letter in the desk drawer and closed it.

I didn't answer to come in, but the door opened.

When I looked up, a woman stood in front of the open door.

'Is he the first character?'

She was a maid in a black dress, a white apron, and even a ruffle braids on her hair.

"Eat it."

The maid placed the tray on my desk.

I put it down so hard that the contents spilled a little inside.

At the attitude of the rude maid I slightly frowned.

The bowl on the tray was filled with cold, dilute soup, and the bread, hard enough to compete with the rock, was growing a dark blue mould.

and…

'That's not pepper sprinkled in the soup... Is it Paris?'

I rubbed my eyes and looked at the black dots on the soup.

Traces of small wings and legs were sharp.

'Haha, it's disappointingly boring...'

I shook my head.

This is because I have seen so many scenes where the heroine is ignored by the servants in the house.

I sighed and got up from my seat.

First, let's start with the name of the character?

"You, what's your name?"

When I asked, the maid snorted.

"Jenny."

It was a maid who made her name clear.

I could hear the backstory, " What would you do if you asked me my name?"

Jenny's imposing attitude briefly scratched her forehead. Even if it is a common deployment,the maid's attitude is annoying.

"Yeah, Jenny."

I picked up the tray and approached Jenny.

"Did you bring this to eat?"

Jenny shrugged and smiled as I held out the tray and looked at her.

"Confident. It is my job to take care of Mrs.'s meals. Anyway, I lost on the last bet.”

"Bet?"

"The fact that you will be engaged to Duke Rebellon. Oh, just because you're engaged doesn't mean you want to be treated differently, right?"

Jenny chuckled.

Originally, Sophia was engaged to Duke Rivelon, but she never saw his face.

According to her letter, she was engaged to him for about a month, but Killian never visited her.

“If you want to be a master, marry the duke and go there. Oh, well, I don't know if the duke will make you a hostess."

Jenny was sarcastic.

She seemed to think that if Killian married me, there would be another government.

I was much sorrier for Jenny.

'What are you going to do later?'

No matter how you think, it makes no sense to ignore the daughter of the family, even the duke's fiancée.

Of course, Cinderella's persecuted banality tends to dispel that ignorance, but…

"Ask me one thing, Jenny.”

I didn't want to deal with a rude maid, but I had one question.

"Why should I, the daughter of Count Fraus, be humiliated by a man like you?"

Even the letter did not explain why'I' was unhappy.

I was sure housekeeper Jenny would tell me about it.

Because she was the first maid to appear, there will be the most appropriate source of information about the background and situation description.

And she didn't beat my expectations.

"Daughter of Count Fraus?"

Jenny laughed for a while.

"Did you really think so when I called you Lady!"

The longer her smile, the thinner my eyebrows.

"Why laugh?"

"I'm sorry that your master is good-hearted. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here."

Jenny blasted Sophia's background information.

Sophia was originally the daughter of Count Fraus and his ex-wife. However, after the death of his ex-wife, the earl married a young and beautiful new wife and gave birth to a son.

'Cinderella Story'didn't go as far as you'd expect.

The only difference from it is that the stepsister turned into one younger brother.

"You should know. I skipped laundry and cleaning for several days under the excuse of being sick. Did you think you'd get it right here?”

Jenny smiled with thin, bent eyes.

Originally, Sofia seems to have done chores like a real Cinderella.

'Okay.'

He nodded slowly, getting the desired information.

"Yeah, you're right."

I held a bowl of soup in one hand and smiled.

Now that she's done what she's going to do, it's my turn to do the next episode.

"As I said,I should have known."

At the same time, I poured soup on Jenny's head.

"Oh!”

Jenny shuddered and screamed.

Soup fell on Jenny's hair and face.

In the middle of the broth, a black substance the size of a grape egg was visible.

'Oh, it wasn't just Paris, was it?'

I didn't look closely, but it must have been a dead cockroach or spider. Jenny was terrified and tried to get rid of the disgusting worm.

"What is this!"

I didn't know what to say, and I shrugged my shoulders.

"...seasoning?”

"What?"

"The person who owns the book is obliged to give the reader a little spice."

I smiled and tilted the bowl I was holding over her head so that a drop of soup would fall on her.

"I think I've been too quiet so far.”

An empty bowl was placed over Jenny's head like a hat.

Jenny shivered, wiping the broth that covered her face with her apron.

“Is it a good thing to leave your daughter alone because your ex-wife is dead? Is my new wife discriminating against me because I'm my ex-wife's daughter?”

I looked down at Jenny coldly.

She lost what to say.

You will be surprised, because if I had been Sophia, I would never have done this. When I read the letter, Sophia Fraus was an extremely atrophied and passive person.

But now, I, the owner, have come here.

"If you do this again in the future, you won't be able to do it, Jenny."

Don't forget the essential cliché of Ropan!
