I Accidentally Saved The Male Lead’s Brother

I finally realised !

 

‘Theo is a Rosito!’

 

This assumption alone solves all questions. 

 

The killer, who died without an apparent cause of death. 

 

Theo from the original book who died for no particular cause.

 

Count Routine, who fell from the top of the stairs and suddenly collapsed, for an unknown reason.

 

And the strange pattern drawn on Theo’s back.

 

Rositos

are born with a mark on their bodies from birth.

 

It was because Theo was a

Rosito

, that explains it all. 

 

Theo instinctively used magic when an assassin attacks him.

 

He escaped safely, but the magical effects were great. 

 

The mana that started to get agitated, would have been even more intense, and the fever would have started to rise like yesterday.

 

In the original work, Theo suffered a high fever and wandered through the woods, dying alone.

 

‘How scary it was’

 

Perhaps even if he was found by someone, there would be no cure, so the result was the same.

 

‘Then why would he live this time? Am I really the destined person?’

 

Charlotte looked at her hand again. 

 

Obviously, when I touched Theo’s cheek earlier, and when I grabbed Carcel’s hand, a light appeared.

 

If a wizard is someone who uses magic through mana amplification, then a destined person is someone who can calm and suppress mana.

 

A destined person is not a mage and cannot use magic, so it could be considered a useless ability at first glance.

 

But if you have the fated person by your side, magic could be used more steadily, and mana could be restored a bit faster after using magic.

 

However, it is better to have one, not necessarily for ordinary magicians.

 

‘On the other hand, Rosito, who cannot calm his mana, really needs his destined person.’

 

Mana Control for the rosito was necessary until they were five years old and began to control their mana, and after that, there would be no danger to their life.

 

Assuming that Charlotte was the destined person, it would be understandable that unlike the original Theo survived, who nearly died of a high fever, and the seizure that subsided quickly some time ago.

 

Also, it was logical that Theo was only trying to hold on to Charlotte. That’s because Rositos feel safe with their destined person. 

 

Theo will be comfortable with me. 

 

In the original,Carcel and Penelope were the right people for each other 

 

Since Carcel was a Rosito too, just like Theo. 

 

But for some reason, his parents were able to seal his magical and mana.

 

That’s why, Carcel has lived so far without knowing that he is Rosito and can control magic. 

 

But after Theo’s death, Carcel could no longer control his feelings from that time.

 

Unbearable anger and uncontrollable grief. 

 

The sealed mana, started to turn over little by little due to his build up emotions.

 

The more time Theo’s revenge took, the poorer his physical and mental health became and the more mysteriously he suffered.

 

He couldn’t sleep properly at night, and was always on edge.

 

Then he met Penelope.

 

One day, when he no longer felt alive. 

 

Going to a party hosted by the imperial family, Carcel tries to bring a little bird – which crashed into Penelope – to the nest again, but she loses her foothold and he gets Penelope.

 

The moment Penelope was carried in his arms, Carcel’s headache, which was about to break his head, was completely gone.

 

This was because the mana, which was swaying and fluctuating, once he was with Penelope who was the destined person, calmed down.

 

Carcel instinctively searched for Penelope, not knowing why he was so comfortable with her. 

 

In the end, he confessed this to Penelope and offered her a contract marriage.

 

For a while, until Theo’s revenge is completely over.

 

So it was the novel’s title <the Duke’s contractual wife>

 

The beautiful Penelope took care of Carcel, who suffered the death of his brother.

 

There was nothing special.

 

They shared their daily lives, just eating together, walking etc. 

 

Carcel slowly opened his heart to her and fell in love with her wholeheartedly.

 

‘And his contracted wife became his real wife.’

 

I didn’t read the original novel until the end, so I didn’t know what happened next.

 

But won’t the two unite to avenge Theo, reveal Carcel’s past secrets, and live happily ever after?

 

‘But why are you telling me this? ‘

 

Charlotte, who was recovering her memory, suddenly wondered.

 

The rosito and its guardian were secretive enough that they were known very little in the empire.

 

Of course, very few people know that Theo is a rosito.

 

No matter how convenient Charlotte was, it did not make sense to entrust such a secret to an outsider. 

 

Why the hell? Charlotte looked at Chase with a nervous look.

 

“Mr. Theo is Rosito… Given the circumstances, I think you are a perfect fit. “

 

Chase, who finished the explanation with a smile, suddenly looked serious.

 

At this moment, Charlotte felt a strong urge to flee from here.

 

“So I have a proposal for the little lady.”

 

Gulp

 

Charlotte’s swallow was particularly high.

 

“Young master Theo still can’t take control of his Mana… Can you be the hostess of the Heinst Family to help him take control of?”

 

“Yes?”

 

Charlotte replied in a hoarse voice.

 

What do you mean hostess? Do you mean to be a duchess? 

 

I  expected, at best, to be a teacher or a nanny for Theo. 

 

Although Charlotte, who was not well-educated, wasn’t enough to teach Theo, it was understandable considering his age.

 

Also, Theo follows Charlotte very well.

 

But she cannot be the Duchess.

 

No matter the circumstances, marrying into a noble family was not something that was simply contemplated.

 

Additionally, Carcel’s contract wife is Penelope. 

 

‘This isn’t my place.’

 

If you meet Penelope in half a year, Carcel will take her in and become interested in her.

 

‘Let’s calm down first’

 

Charlotte took a deep breath and tried to judge things as coolly as possible.

 

Then a loophole began to appear in Chase’s proposal

 

.

“Why should I be the Duchess?”

 

“What?!”

 

“I was wondering if the teacher would be enough to commit to Theo. I’m not good enough, but I can teach Theo the Basic manners… It’s easier to be with Theo all day long. “

 

The Duchess could stay with Theo in the same mansion, but she could not spend much time with him compared to the teacher.

 

Of course, this does not mean that Charlotte will become Theo’s teacher.

 

Charlotte was reluctant to become Theo’s teacher, and either way, she was reluctant to part of  the original novel.

 

However, I was purely curious. 

 

The Duke’s assistant would be smarter than me, so he must have thought of the loophole that I noticed quickly.

 

‘There is another reason to be the Duchess’

 

The Reason to why I should sign the Duke’s marriage contract.

 

Sure enough, Chase saved his breath with a somewhat bewildered face. 

 

Instead of being surprised, he was thinking about how to explain it.

 

Chase read Carcel’s face for a while and then nodded his head.

 

“Little Miss’s words make sense. It’s not that we haven’t thought about it, either. If it had been so, we would certainly have offered Miss the position of teacher. However….”

 

Charlotte didn’t rush it and waited for Chase’s words

 

“After the raid, … we felt the need to handle everything related to the young master with care. If Theo is targeted again, you can’t rule out the possibility that the people around him will also be attacked. Teachers  can be dangerous, especially those who are with him all day. If you lose a hard fit…….”

 

“…….”

 

“You cannot accompany him as a tutor or nanny of the Heinst family no matter how closely you follow your family, the nanny is the nanny…. Once the escorts and tutors are brought and treated privately, people outside will wonder. Especially those behind the scenes going after young master Theo would be more careful. “

 

“But is the Duchess any different? “

 

Chase nodded.

 

“ This is correct. There is no doubt about the Duchess with the family’s escorts, or even better.”

 

“But the Duchess does not make any less suspicious. Think about it. To Marry suddenly? Furthermore, a Baroness and a Duke to  get married. Everyone will think it’s weird.”
