The Male Lead Is In Charge Of The Successor - Chapter 5

(Eisel’s 3rd PERSON POV)

“There is not much time left before the class starts.”

Gerald, who wiped his hands with a handkerchief, nodded his chin, as if to say that it was unpleasant to be in the same air as them. Beorick clenched his hand tightly, trying to hide his embarrassment with a forced smile on his crumpled face. 

“Haha, I guess we should. Come on, Eisel. I’ll pick you up once the class is over, listen to your teacher, alright?”

Eisel, who was observing the two from the side, looked intently at Gerald instead of acknowledging Beorick’s greeting.

Gerald was looking down at Eisel with an arrogant stance. His eyes were full of contempt, as if looking at a bug that was far shorter than himself while thinking;

‘What is she looking at?’

Even in this situation, Beorick couldn’t help but laugh. Gerald gave Beorick humiliation and shame, then turned away with an unimpressed look on his face. Easel, who was silently staring at Gerald’s back, held Beorick’s hand tightly.

‘Gerald Basquiela….. The man said his son was also taking classes here.’

Eisel smiled at Beorick, who couldn’t stop worrying about her as he slowly turned around to leave.

“I’ll go now.”

Eisel thought that she now had another reason to take her class.

(Eisel’s 3rd PERSON POV)

Contrary to Gerald’s words, class was about to begin. The room on the other hand was so quiet, at the same time, someone caught Eisel’s eyes.

‘What is this? Did I go to the wrong room? Or a prank, just to tease me that the classes were about to start?’

A blonde girl who was sitting in the front seat, turned around to notice Eisel who was looking at the room with a flustered face. As soon as the girl saw Eisel, her pretty big eyes widened from surprise and immediately jumped from her seat and screamed.

“La Rancia, Yeah!”

“Pardon me?”

Eisel flinched in surprise at the girl’s sudden scream that seemed to break a glass.

‘What kind of Dialect is that?’ When Eisel narrowed her brow slightly due to her dialect, the girl hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand as if she realized what she just said.

“Oh, no…. It was a mistake.”

‘She said that it was a mistake?’. But to Eisel’s ears, it wasn’t a mistake but actually a dialect. Eisel then burst into laughter at the thought that it was a very awkward way of speaking, like the tone that was used by the people from Gyeongsang whenever they mimicked Seoul’s dialect.

“Ah…. Ah!”

When Eisel laughed, the girl who had been reddened from embarrassment, eventually sat down and covered her face with her hands.

“Oh my god! I screwed up!”

In the classroom where there were only two people in it, Rancia’s cries were the only thing that could be heard, as it resonated within.

(Eisel’s 3rd PERSON POV)

“My father is Gert… Sniff… and my mother is from Labouheyre. I’m currently living now in Erafox now.”

Rancia wiped her tears with a handkerchief as she calmly introduced herself. It was better than before because she’s no longer nervous but there’s still some mixture of dialects on the way she spoke. Her dialect is similar to a girl in a high-end tea shop wearing a high-class dress in the capital city. Moreover, she’s from Erafox, it was a fairly distant area from here.

“So the dialect…..”

“I’m not using it because I want to! But whenever I got nervous, it would automatically pop out on her own…” 

Both Gert and Labouheyre were known for using a dialect with a slow accent. I grew up between them, so it’s natural to mix dialects.

“My mother said that she only used the standard language in the capital, and she sounded weird. That’s why she encouraged me and I’ve practiced for a year……”

“Well habits can’t be changed that easily, so don’t cry. And what’s wrong with using your own dialect?”

“I heard that people in the capital ignore those who speak with a dialect from a rural area.”

‘Well it’s not exactly wrong. It was natural for them to think that Erafox as a countryside, as it is not near and quite far away.’ Eisel held out another handkerchief to Rancia, who looked like she was about to cry again.

“Not necessarily. There are more things that deserve to be disrespected other than using a dialect.”

“More than the dialect? What is it?”

“A lot.”

‘Whether it’s poverty or a mere aristocratic status.’

Eisel smiled brightly instead of giving a concrete answer. Rancia stared blankly at her, as she clenched her handkerchief, and her eyes twinkled.

“You look like a doll!”

“A doll?”

“Yes! I have never seen such sparkling red eyes in my life. Wow, it’s so beautiful!”

‘…. Her dialect. Her dialect always pops out from time to time.’ Eisel burst into another laughter. After observing Eisel for a moment, Rancia hurriedly said as if she just realized something.

“Ah! I’m Rancia Ermund! The second daughter of Count Ermund. And you are…..”

“Eisel Letania Aspenser. And…..”

“What? So this is where you are?”

As Eisel was introducing herself, the back door suddenly opened and a blunt voice came out. The boy who opened the door looked around the room, as he found Eisel and Rancia, and slowly approached them.

Rancia got up from her seat, shaking her hands as if she was nervous again when the boy approached.

“I am La, Ranci….!”

“Are you Eisel?”

“How did you know me?”

Even before Rancia’s tense self-introduction could come out, the boy spoke Eisel’s name. Eisel tilted her head when the boy she saw for the first time said her name.

The boy said, “Oh, that’s right.” He muttered a little and twisted the corners of his lips. It was a laugh that strangely reminded me of someone.

“I know you. A noble family who has nothing but pride, that’s what I heard from my father as he said; There’s this girl who doesn’t care about her status, so don’t ever involve yourself with her, she’s no good.”

“Ah…. Excuse me….?”

“She doesn’t even know who we are? Besides, why are you talking to her anyways? (He asked Rancia ) Did you think she was noble? Can’t you see? This girl is not worth looking at and she’s ugly as well. Her family is no longer a noble, she’s the same as the commoners rolling down the street.” 

(T/N: This part might be confusing to guys, as I imagine it, like the boy was talking to Rancia as he pointed out to Eisel like referring to the information that she’s no longer a noble.)

Rancia, who was looking between Eisel and the boy alternately with eyes wide open, slowly turned her head. Eisel accepted Rancia’s gaze with a casual smile, she got up from her seat. Her head tilted slightly as she glanced at the boy smaller than his age but remained taller than her.

“How old are you?”

“What?”

“You look bigger than me.”

“Well it’s natural. I’m already ten years old.”

‘So this is the son of that family, the one that he was talking about?’ Eisel looked at the boy silently. Contrary to what he expected there was no reaction coming from her, the boy frowned at the way Eisel looked at him, she even rolled her eyes.

“What’s with those eyes? If you have something to say…..”

“Why are you here?”

“What?”

“Isn’t this the place where you get your education for an eight years old student? What is a 10 years old boy doing here? Are you stupid that’s you’re here?” 

(T/N: Hahaha Eisel the bad-ass queen.)

“Ahh.. Stu…. Stupid?!”

“Besides that, even though we are only two years apart, there doesn’t seem to be much difference in height. Are you really ten years old? Rancia, can you stand up.”

Eisel raised Rancia on her feet. Rancia, who was taller than Eisel and the boy, bowed her head with a reddened face.

“You’re smaller than Rancia? Are you really ten years old?”

“Hey, what are you talking about now? What are you saying!? You dare to insult me now?”

“Why are you so angry? I was just asking.”

The boy then gritted his teeth at Eisel’s attitude, who was simply tilting her head with an innocent face as if she knew nothing. As the saying goes (*)when you plant beans, you get beans, and when you plant red beans, you get beans. And that’s what Eisel thought of the boy who looked a lot like Gerald.

(T/N: (*)Means that children inherit many things from their parents and imitate them. From a biological point of view, it can be said that genetics is precisely defined.)

‘How can he say something and ignore people as he pleases? Thanks to his behavior, I was able to throw at the boy the words and emotions that I couldn’t tell Gerald earlier.’

The boy groaned to himself and shouted at Eisel.

“Apologize!”

“Apologize?”

“Yes! You should apologize to me since you made fun of me. Apologize to me now!”

“Who are you?”

“You don’t know me?”

The boy’s eyes widened at Eisel’s question. Eisel nodded calmly to the boy who looked at her with eyes saying ‘How is it possible for you not to know me?’ 

Well how am I supposed know his identity if he ‘s not gonna introduce himself? Eisel grinned and the boy shouted with an absurd face.

“Don’t you know Raven Basquiela?!”

“I don’t know you. How about you Rancia, do you know him?”

“……..”

Rancia shook her head slowly as if indicating that she didn’t know as well. Eisel then looked at Raven’s face as saying, “We’ve never heard of such a name?”

“How….. How could you not know me… This doesn’t make sense!”

Raven was in shock for the first time in his life. He held disgruntled eyes. 

‘If he lives as a high-ranking aristocrat, does that mean that they all grow up like a person with a single screw missing?’ Eisel thought.

“This is impossible.”

“But, surprisingly, it happened.”

“Noisy! That’s enough! Apologize to me quickly! Apologize for calling me stupid and  for making fun of me!”

What will happen then if I don’t apologize then? Eisel was well aware of the habits of the annoying children. In particular, children who grew up were bound to whine until they got what they wanted as well as the consequences when they didn’t. Eisel, who had suffered from the twins from her past life, had experienced it firsthand. Eisel nodded while looking at Raven, who ran around and shouted for an apology.

“Okay, I apologize.”

“That is not sincere! Bow down and apologize properly!”

‘This is really uncomfortable.’ Eisel then let out a small sigh as she looked at Raven who kept shouting in front of her. The little girl took her stance. ‘Oh, you’re finally doing it. That’s right!’ Raven, who looked at her with that face, overlooked just one thing.

“Sincerely……”

Eisel politely put her hands together, closed her eyes, and quickly bent her waist forward.

“Sorry!”

“Ugh–!!”

The fact that the distance between the two of them was too close.

“My nose!! Aww!! Argh! It hurts!!”

Blood dripped from Raven’s nose like a waterfall, which was hit by Eisel’s forehead.

“Oh my, a- , nosebleed!”

Rancia’s astonished dialect filled the room.
