Fostering the Male Lead - Chapter 107
“Arghhh, master!”
Eventually, Lumiyan flew out of the cave. Lumiyan, who flew at a high speed, called me pitifully, but there was nothing I could do. I’m sorry, I would have accepted him if he had come as a human. The snake was too much.
“That bastard always shows up when it’s important.”
Sihael, who gritted his teeth, wiped his hands on the cape as if he had touched something dirty.
“Rosetta, can’t we just throw that thing away?”
“What are you talking about to our savior who found us?”
“What do you mean by savior?”
“Shh, wait a minute. Your Highness, do you hear this?”
I blocked Sihael’s mouth as he tried to say something. My ears pricked up at the sound of footsteps outside the cave.
“Rosetta!”
“Your Highness!”
Fortunately, we heard a call from outside. Lumiyan hadn’t come alone.
“I guess my brother and Nanabi are here.”
As my heart swelled with relief, I looked inside the cave. I had confirmed it wasn’t a dream, so I didn’t have to go again. I wonder if I’ll see the grandfather again even if I go.
Looking into the darkness, I turned my head.
At that moment, the wind from the cave pushed my back. As if to go.
‘Tell Lia. I had fun thanks to her company.’
After I find Lia, I’ll come to find the grandfather. As I was adjusting the pendant hanging around my neck, I raised my head to the hand that was out in front of me.
“Let’s go.”
Sihael was beaming, showing his straight teeth. I was filled with anger when I saw his confident face, as if he believed that I would naturally hold his hand.
“Why should I?”
He has teased me a lot so far, but I didn’t hold his hand. I crossed my arms to prevent Sihael from accidentally grabbing my hand.
“I’m so scared. Can you hold my hand?”
Then at least make a scared face. He kept smiling so who would believe him?
“There are a lot of scary things.”
“Yes, it’s scary because the cave is so dark.”
“You have a problem with your eyesight. It is so bright.”
Seeing how stubborn I was, Sihael shrugged his shoulders sullenly.
“That’s too much. I’m hurt.”
Sihael held onto his heart and drooped the corners of his eyes. It was clearly a playful gesture.
“You’re lying.”
“You don’t believe me. Too bad.”
He was so shameless. Turning my head at the obvious trick, I didn’t give him my hand.

“Rosetta!”
“Your Highness!”
When we came out of the cave, Leonard and Nanabi, who found us, ran towards us at a frightening speed.
Both of them were in a mess as if they had been looking for us all night. The skin under their eyes was almost black, someone had blackened them, and there were a lot of blood veins visible in their eyes.
It seemed that anyone would believe that these two people, not me and Sihael, were in distress.
I couldn’t raise my head because I felt sorry.
When I thought of the trouble I caused to many people because of my complacency, I felt ashamed and wanted to hide in a rat hole.
“I’m sorry.”
“What the hell are you…!”
Leonard grabbed my shoulder with a scary face. I closed my eyes tightly when I saw how Leonard was about to burst from anger. My heart was pounding already at how much I would be scolded. However, the voice that I actually heard belonged to Sihael, not to Leonard.
“Leonard, don’t say anything to her. If you do, I will deduct your pay.”
“When I heard that, ”
“Do you want me to put you on probation here for a month?”
After defeating Leonard proudly, he gave me a look, as if asking, ‘I did a good job, right?’
‘Well, I’d rather get scolded and just let him vent his anger here.’
Swallowing a sigh, I pushed Sihael away and grabbed Leonard’s sleeve.
“It’s my fault, brother.”
“…I’ll hear why you did it later. Where did you leave your clothes?”
Leonard, who was angry at my depressed appearance, took off his outer coat and put it on my shoulder. And he even buttoned it up, as if he wasn’t satisfied.
“You, stay away from Rosetta.”
Leonard was very angry and didn’t hesitate to speak informally to Sihael. I rolled my eyes at the intimidating atmosphere.
Nanabi handed the robe to Sihael with a calm face as if nothing had happened. Sihael, who wore the robe, frowned as Leonard continued to stare at him in disbelief.
“I didn’t do anything.”
“If you did, you’ll be dead.”
It was a bit fierce, but I thought it would end well at this point. Only if it wasn’t for Lumiyan, who came down the rock.
“Leonard, Leonard! He’s lying! The doggie, no, His Highness was hugging Master! While naked too!”
‘Idiot, anyone will misunderstand us if you say it like that!’
As if he couldn’t see me silently telling him to shut up, Lumiyan kept shouting loudly, crawled quickly and stood next to Leonard. He was very excited to see he had someone on his side.
Three pairs of eyes, including Lumiyan’s, turned to Sihael.
But who was Sihael? Far from being embarrassed by the eyes of the people who saw him as shameless, he just shrugged and laughed.
“There was a reason for that.”
“What reason?”
Leonard, who added that it would be better to answer well, was already putting his hand on the scabbard. I freaked out when I saw his twitching hand.
“Why should I tell you that? It’s a secret between us. Right, Rosetta?”
“What? Me?”
Then, this time, his eyes turned to me. In the meantime, Sihael, who had slipped away, winked at me as I got surrounded by Nanabi and Leonard.
‘That bastard.’
He dared to sacrifice me? Just wait and see. I’m really going to bust your ass.
I grit my teeth hard.
