I Became the Younger Sister of a Regretful Obsessive Male Lead - Chapter 73

Chapter 73

“Do you dare take Ray?”

“Ah, what does that mean…”

Noah was so embarrassed by the current situation.

Even the sudden loss of his body remained in his memory, though most of the memories of Kylus in possession of his body faded away. Although he did remember some of it, he couldn’t remember it well unless it was very intense.

Obviously, while preparing to go to the salon, he was caught by a colleague who suddenly came over and was unable to do this or that.

But, why was Lucian so angry with himself? And this place was…

Noah, who glanced around while his mind wandered, was unable to breathe, showing how he was strangled.

It was definitely the parlor he had come and seen once—the parlor of Duchy Leon.

“Kuhk, spare me…”

The breath coming into his nose grew fainter.

As time passed, he trembled and wept in fear that he might not be able to breathe. Noah scratched the back of the hand with his fingernails, but Lucian didn’t even move. He was thrown to the floor when he thought he was going to die from suffocation.

“Heuk, kuhuk.”

Noah crouched down his body, opening his mouth wide to catch his breath.

Bum, bum.

When he heard the sound of Lucian approaching, he jumped up and crawled into the corner.

“What the hell do you want?”

Lucian was curious about Noah’s intention, whom he had been accustomed to for a long time. Wasn’t it because he wanted to take advantage of the Duke’s power?

No, wasn’t that why he approached Rachel? To marry her and get her part?

How dare he…!

His eyes heated with anger as he tapped Noah’s back with his knee and pressed it.

“Ugh—!”

He asked Noah, pressing his neck with his hand.

“I ask again. What do you want?”

If the name Rachel came out of Noah’s mouth, he would twist his neck on the spot without any further ado.

Noah was flustered.

Lucian was unfair, and the world was unfair.

Why should he be the only one to be treated like this?

Why did his father run a business he couldn’t afford, leaving him with only a pretentious title of nobility and debts that he couldn’t repay? Why did he have to suffer like this because he couldn’t even do what he wanted with his body…?

Noah suddenly remembered the words Kylus had been talking about.

[ Well, they don’t like people who enjoy men, though there’s nothing they don’t understand. They will definitely like you. I’ve definitely seen it. ]

Most of the prophecies made by Kylus came true. So, despite being the son of a Baron, he could confidently enter the salon and take a seat. He gave his opinion and got everyone to speak up, which allowed him to build deep bonds with the people at the salon.

Noah thought for sure that he could make it like that, so he dreamed that in the future he would be able to soar higher than the Baron.

But, what was this?

Why was the situation different from what Kylus was saying?

He…

‘He can’t do this to me.’

Why is he cold…?

‘In the future that Kylus saw, you…’

While his breathing was tight, Noah managed to get out the words he had been wanting to ask for a while.

“…Why don’t you like me?”

Lucian, who was holding him down, heard his voice. Though it sounded like a small whisper, he understood it like a ghost.

“Why me?”

If the person he loved already occupies the place in his heart, how could he have someone else sit in his place?

Furthermore…

“How dare you take Ray when you like men.”

A rage that had reached its limit obscured his vision. A murderous intention soared.

Unable to overcome the urge for a moment, Lucian tried to twist the neck in his hand. At that, Noah struck him on the thigh with his elbow. It was a weak force, but it was enough to break the balance. After a moment’s hesitation, he pushed Lucian and started running away.

“Ha…”

Lucian, who had come to his senses thanks to that, raised his head with an annoying gesture. He first decided to keep Noah alive. He sensed something suspicious in his words a while ago, so he couldn’t just kill him.

Still, he was not the one to let go of easily though.

—Enzo.

To his call, Enzo answered with a hint of annoyance.

—You only call me for troublesome things like this.

—Put on some tracking magic on him.

—Hmph, what a bother.

—….

When Lucian tried to block Enzo’s words, he spoke hastily.

—Ha, if the person says no, try one more time. In a sad way.

—Are you a person?

—…Right! I’m dead, right? Kukuk.

Enzo summoned a small familiar and attached it to Noah, who hurriedly got into the carriage.

—My familiar will report on his every move.

—Thank you.

—By the way, you only say hello to Rachel. Sheesh, you idiot.

Lucian interrupted Enzo and left the parlor. He hurriedly turned to Rachel with steps that showed his anxious heart. Anxiety that didn’t fade even though they were always together seemed to corrode him.

He exhaled finely as his heart was beating irregularly.

09_The Truth Revealed

As soon as I entered the room, I sat down Oscar and Damian and opened my mouth.

“What did he say earlier?”

“What do you mean?”

“The appearance I usually see was all decorated. Then yes. No matter how…”

“Master?”

“I heard this far. But, I didn’t hear the next word. What did he say?”

At my words, Oscar lifted his chin. With a very proud expression, he imitated Noah, “Hoho, the appearance I usually see was all decorated. Then, that’s right. No matter how low my foresight is, I can’t be mistaken.”

“…Foresight?”

“Yes, he obviously said that, didn’t he, Damian?”

At Oscar’s words, Damian also nodded his head with a careful expression.

“Oscar is right, Master. What he said was definitely foresight.”

“What do you think of him when you see him? No, Damian. I told you to go after Noah before, so how many times have you followed him?”

“Yes, that’s right. The appearance I saw today was different from his appearance I had seen before. Besides, the magic was also different.”

“Ha.”

I grabbed my forehead and flopped down on the sofa. The next moment, Amber came into the room.

“Lady, are you okay?”

“Yes…”

“No, what in the world is he? He just ran out of the parlor earlier and just left without saying a greeting? He came in recklessly when he came in, and it was the same when he left. How the hell does he view Duchy Leon?”

AD
Amber was really angry, so her words were longer than usual. Seeing that, I told her to calm down.

I desperately need it now.

“Bring me some cold tea, Amber. I really need cold tea right now.”

“Okay, lady. Can you wait a minute?”

“You can go slowly. Don’t run.”

“I’ll be back soon…!”

As Amber left the room, I asked as I pondered Damian’s words.

“Is the color of the magic different?”

“Yes, each person has their own magical powers, though it is very rare to find people with the same color of magic.”

“Yes?”

Even though I heard about it roughly before, I had never heard it in detail like this.

“From the moment I saw it in the parlor, I thought it was a little strange, but how dare I… I couldn’t because he was a guest. I’m sorry, Master.”

I shook my head at Damian’s kind words.

“No. I had to talk to him, anyway. You waited patiently for me.”

“Thank you, Master.”

“Master, praise me, too! I listened well and remembered well.”

Oscar, who came by my side, rubbed his face on my shoulder and pleaded with me. He really didn’t mind doing such a shameful thing. Who knew how easy it was to compliment someone who didn’t even look like a fox and yet shows such cuteness in a human form?

“Yes, yes. Oh, our Oscar did a good job.”

At my rare compliment, Oscar’s face turned red as if it was about to explode. It was so amusing that I burst out laughing a little.

It was cute to see him shy away from time to time when he was actively asking for praise. So, I ruffled the white hair. I liked the feeling of the soft touch slipping away, so the feeling of being surprised and upset up until a while ago seemed to disappear.

At that time, the door swung open and I turned my head, surprised by how many times it was already. Then, Lucian came in with a terrifying expression.

“Everyone, get out.”

His voice was very harsh as he was very angry. Although I didn’t do anything wrong, I got a sore throat for nothing.

Oh, I can’t drink iced tea again this time?

“Master.”

“Master, should we go?”

Oscar glanced at me with a pitiful expression on his face, holding his head in the palm of my hand. Oh, this…

Is he heartbroken?

As expected, the sub Oscar…

He was a character that should not be overlooked.

As I was blankly staring at Oscar’s red eyes as beautiful as a ruby, Lucian grabbed my hand. I watched as he pushed Oscar’s head.

“Can’t you hear me telling you to leave?”

“We only listen to the Master.”

Even at Lucian’s words, which were just creepy to hear, Oscar responded well. I hurriedly told Oscar and Damian.

“Get out.”

“…Master.”

“Okay, Master.”

Damian grabbed Oscar’s neck and pushed him out.

“Hey, this ****! I told you not to hold me like this!”

Despite his rebellion, Damian easily pushed him out.

Without Oscar, the air in the room became very heavy. Lucian came and sat down next to me. As the sofa dipped heavily, the air felt heavier.

Even though I wasn’t doing anything wrong, I was somehow worried about seeing him.

I… I think he’s really furious?
