I Dislike The Male Lead’s Child

  

“If you don’t mind, can I ask Asellus to guide you?”

 

“Can you do it?”

 

I quickly nodded at the lonely face.

 

“Of course. I think Asellus will like my idea, too.”

 

“I don’t think so.”

 

“Why?”

 

“Wouldn’t you mind if I were taught by your husband?”

 

It didn’t matter.

 

In ordinary cases, it might be scary.

[T/N: scary in the sense of if your spouse became close to the opposite gender in the workplace]

 

But I had a little guilty feeling for the original Avril.

 

I couldn’t honestly tell her how I felt, so I tried to find a good reason.

 

“The princess is talented. Look at the mana flowing from the bracelet.”

 

“Is that really the only reason?” -Andrea

 

“Then, what else? Is there should be another one?” -Avril

 

Even if I thought about it carefully, I couldn’t find it. 

 

So, I said it straightforwardly.

 

“Yes, that’s the main reason, Your Highness.”

 

“Hmm.”

 

The princess’s reaction was lukewarm.

 

When I looked at her, wondering why she was nonchalant, she smiled awkwardly and whispered softly.

 

“You are so pure that led me to think I am committing a sin.”

 

“…Pardon?”

 

“I mean, you’re so lovely. Thank you, Avril. But could you hold this proposition for a moment? I’ll come to find you when I need you.”

 

I nodded.

 

But what I could not grasp was why the princess wanted to meet me.

 

Before I could ask her real purpose, she got up.

 

“Then I’ll just leave. I came out secretly. I’m really sorry for the scandal. I should have dispelled the rumors first.”

 

“Oh, it’s okay.”

 

It was an unpleasant experience to be dragged into a scandal, but it was a lie anyway.

 

And it will vanish soon.

 

Above all, the princess did not yet have the power to end the scandal.

 

‘In the Original, she used Asellus to gain power.’

 

I was the one who took the original female lead’s place.

 

There was no way the princes would hate Asellus.

 

On the contrary, I don’t know if the princess hates me.

 

After immersing myself in thought, I finally came back to reality.

 

I nodded as the princess came towards me.

 

Then he looked at me and smiled.

 

“I heard you’re very kind.”

 

“Really?”

 

“It’s cute to be surprised. The more I look at you, the more I can’t take my eyes off you. Oh my, I have to go.”

 

She left the room straight away. I was curious as I saw her off.

 

‘Then what was her real purpose to meet me?’

 

It felt like something passed by in a flash.

 

As I left the tavern without coming to my senses, the maid asked me a question.

 

“Shall we prepare the carriage for you?”

 

“Yes, please.”

 

Just as I was sighing in relief, thinking that I would finally get some rest, I saw Jovry in the distance.

 

Her curly red hair, burning like a flame, shone brightly under the sun.

 

‘What day is today?’

 

I wanted to avoid Jovry, who had already spotted me and was walking towards me.

 

I had no choice but to approach Jovry. 

 

Jovry looked at me and said with a gloomy expression.

 

“I heard you met your mother, but you don’t look very good, do you?”

 

“I can’t get used to walking around after a long time.”

 

“I guess the strange-looking villa also played a role? Which called

flue

?”

 

I laughed when I saw her frowning after finishing her speech.

 

Curiously, I asked 

 

“How did you know the vila’s name is Flue?”

 

“I went there to hang out with you. The astonishing thing is that this villa looked really unique. I was looking forward to it since I heard you bought private land in the kingdom.”

 

“I was like that too when I first saw it.”

 

Then we lightheartedly started laughing.

 

Flue might have sparked everyone’s curiosity.

 

It’s a shame it’s located far from the center of the capital, as it would have attracted everyone’s attention.

 

Jovry may have belatedly thought that what she said was a bit excessive, so she lowered his eyebrows and said,

 

“I might have said something excessively because it looked like Austell.”

 

“Well, it’s alright.”

 

Jovry was on Avril’s side.

 

Even though the tone was a little harsh, I knew it wasn’t said with malicious intent.

 

As soon as I accepted her silent apology, Jovry held up a fan and let out a grin.

 

“I can’t get used to you being like this. I thought you were going to slap me and tell me not to talk carelessly.”

 

‘Should I act like the original Avril?’

 

After thinking for a moment, Jovry hurriedly spoke.

 

“Anyway! I’m having a party at my villa soon. You’re coming, aren’t you?”

 

She took out an invitation out of her arms.

 

The red eyes, exposed above the fan, twinkled and shined.

 

It was a look of anticipation for the upcoming banquet.

 

I obediently accepted the invitation letter she handed me.

 

A fascinating black rose was decorated on a dark red letter envelope.

 

I was wondering which banquet to attend at the time, but it turned out well.

 

If it was Jovry’s banquet, there was no reason to refuse.

 

‘Also If I attend, I will be able to figure out Avril’s friendship.’

 

I nodded my head gently.

 

“Alright I shall come.”

 

Jovry said with a gleam in her eyes.

 

“Leave your husband behind.”

 

“Asellus? Why?”

 

I don’t know if Asellus will come, but I was curious to know why Jovry wanted to keep him away.

 

Jovry shrugged her shoulders as if it was no big deal.

 

“Because of Chrys.”

 

“And there will be many more knights coming to the banquet.”

 

Jovry added with a helpless expression.

 

“Wouldn’t it be a bit weird if Asellus came?”

 

I was puzzled by the subtle tone of voice.

 

If it was for Chrys, it makes sense.

 

On the day I arrived at Latella, I saw Asellus keeping Chrys in check.

 

But what is the matter with other knights?

 

As I looked at her with a bewildered expression, Jovry looked bleak.
