The Obsessive Male Lead Made Me The Female Lead - Chapter 93

Tears welled up in Alois’ eyes.

Even though it was a nightmare time that she wouldn’t have known well because she was young, it looked painful as if it was a humiliation that she had suffered right away.

‘My mother gave me this handkerchief before she died and told me to find my brother.’

‘That’s why you started your wandering life.’

‘Yes, that’s right. But I guess he’s dead since he hasn’t been found yet.’

Alois smiled bitterly and put the handkerchief back in.

Her figure at that time was a very sad picture.

As I was thinking about the past, someone knocked.

“Miss, it’s Chris.”

“Come in.”

When my permission was granted, Chris entered the room.

Lexion let Chris stay at Sparrow Castle for me before leaving for the expedition.

Originally, I was supposed to go on the expedition together, but he belatedly recognized Alex Beth’s existence and left him by my side.

Of course, there was also the purpose of sending a messenger through him in case of emergency.

I stared at Chris’ left wrist.

It was covered with a sleeve, but it was clearly tied with a handkerchief.

It was so old that it barely remained in shape.

A red hawk could be seen at first glance through the crevice.

‘It’s only natural that Alois couldn’t find him. Because he has become such an amazing person.’

I somehow fell into a sentimental mood.

In the past, Chris had already died before forming the subjugation squad.

So Alois had never met Chris.

As she said, her brother is already dead.

On behalf of Lexion, whom he respects.

Lexion asked me before leaving the expedition.

He asked if Alois Beth had a family.

I was very embarrassed because it was a secret that no one knew except me.

And why he asked such a question was explained by Sir Chris.

‘I never thought he’d be this close.’

Although Chris and Alois were twins, they had no resemblance.

The only similarity is that their hair color is red, but red hair itself is common, making it difficult to relate the two.

It was a situation where the saying “dark under the lamp”* fits perfectly.

TL/N: Neglecting what’s right under their nose.

Chris said.

“What did you call me for?”

“I wanted to send a message to the Duke.”

“A message?”

“Yes.”

I held out a sealed letter with those words.

The high altitude of the Hawk Mountains made using communication devices difficult.

It is also said that if there is an aftermath of the evil dragon, it becomes worse.

So it was better to send a fast-footed messenger. 

The letter said that I had found Alois Beth.

Chris said as he received the letter.

“Yes, I’ll send it soon.”

“Thank you, Sir Chris.”

I grabbed Chris as he was about to go back and stopped him.

He tilted his head with a puzzled look.

“Do you have anything else to say?”

“Oh, it’s nothing… I heard that you had a very difficult time before meeting the Duke.”

He shrugged when I suddenly asked him about his childhood.

“I did, because I was a beggar.”

It was a response that it was not a big deal to live as a beggar.

I asked cautiously.

“Aren’t you curious about the news of your family?”

“Well… why do you ask that all of a sudden?”

“What if the family was looking for Sir Chris? Will you meet them?”

“They are parents who abandoned a child like a blood clot. There’s no way they’ll find me.”

Chris spoke firmly and I moistened my lips.

I couldn’t force him to meet if he didn’t want to.

“There could be a situation.”

“… …”

“I heard it from the Duke. That thing on the wrist might be a family memento.”

“Your Excellency’s mouth was lighter than I thought.”

Chris laughed bitterly, hiding his wrist.

However, unlike the words, there was no sign of anger.

“I found out by chance.”

“Well, I don’t mean to blame you. It’s not even a secret. It’s just a bit of a dirty story.”

“If your family wants to meet Sir Chris, can you meet them?”

It was an important question.

No matter how much Alois was looking for him, Chris’ intentions came first.

Chris had been living as a beggar for a long time and his life itself was threatened.

Surviving life was a miracle.

But that time had a huge impact on Chris’ character.

Even after meeting Lexion and being saved, he still acted like a glutton and was very wary, which was like a habit from a beggar’s life.

Sir Chris didn’t have his parents around to tell him what was going on like Alois.

Because his father sacrificed himself to save Chris.

‘It’s only natural that you think your family has abandoned you. What if you don’t want to see her?’

With that thought in mind, I silently waited for Chris’ answer.

After a while, he said.

“I’m curious. Why did they forsake that little child?”

“… …”

“Your Excellency and Miss Tiarozety are both very interested in my handkerchief.”

“That’s…”

“Did you happen to see someone with half of this handkerchief?”

“!!”

I opened my mouth at Chris’ sharp question.

Chris grinned as if my reaction was enough of an answer.

“As expected.“

“Where is my family?”

Chris’ red eyes stared intently at me.

Just when I was about to open my mouth.

A red bird tapped on the window.

Looking outside, I saw Alois Beth’s alter ego.

“Ah.”

I looked at Chris and the red bird alternately because it was a weird timing.

I couldn’t let them meet yet.

Before that, I had to check Alois Beth’s intentions.

“I’ll tell you when it’s clear. Go back first, Sir Chris.”

“…All right.”

Chris left without urging.

Only after the sound of his footsteps faded did I open the window to greet the red bird.

The red bird said as soon as it entered the room.

“It’s me, Alois Beth.”

“Welcome, Alois.”

Alois, who came in the form of a small red bird, jumped onto my arm.

Black eyes glared at me.

“You’re not surprised to hear the bird speak.”

“Because I thought it was you.”

I smiled softly, stroking her hair a little with my fingers, and brushing it as if not to touch it.

Then she tapped my hand with her beak and asked softly.

“What the hell are you? How much do you know about me?”

“A lot more than you think.”

I was hit even though I could dodge the beak attack.

Alois flinched at my words and left my arm with her wings flapping.

‘A red bird with a strong sense of vigilance… … . cute.’

I grinned at Alois’ sullen attitude.

I remembered the old memories of Alois, the image of a red bird, which was so long ago that I kept laughing.

Alois was so calm that it was doubtful whether she was the same person who had been crying the other day.

She may have come here as an alter ego to hide her feelings.

‘But you must have calmed down a little. I’m glad.’

From the beginning, I had no intention of suddenly bringing up the story of her brother.

I didn’t expect to meet Alois there in the first place, nor did I expect her to point a knife at me.

I just kept an eye on Betty and told her the truth.

If it was me who took Alois, I would track her down, find her, and send her to the Hawks, where Lexion is.

But Alois tried to kill me in Sparrow Castle, and in cooperation with Seirin.

I was a little displeased that the book never said anything about her.

The new character mentioned in the last trailer seemed to be Alois.

‘I should have found Alois from the start. It’s so hectic.’

After returning, everything changed and I didn’t even think about Alois because I was adapting.

Because the order of events in the book had changed in a jumbled way, and Lexion intervened, making it chaotic.

‘But I’m glad I ran into you before things went wrong. It would have been hard to turn back if we had already met after trying.’

I didn’t want Alois to go wrong.

The moment when Alois died at the end was still vivid.

Seeing that it is a painful and painful memory just to recall, I may have depended on her quite a bit.

‘I’m going to save everyone this time. I have the power to do that now.’

Now I was no longer a supporting actor.

The protagonist of this world.

This time I will never be helpless against the tyranny of the book.

I made up my mind and told Alois.

“Have you thought about it?”

“What? Kill you or not?”

“No. Preparing to be happy.”

“……”

The red bird stared intently at me.

I couldn’t tell what was on her mind with the black eyes without whites.

After a while, Alois said.

“Don’t try to persuade me emotionally, Miss Tiarozety.”

“Do I look like I’m just flattering with words?”

“Because you haven’t shown me anything that stands out.”

“Then did the princess show you something?”

“…….”

Alois was at a loss for words and stopped talking.

It was because Seirin also had no other tangible proof to her than an oath.

“At least the princess and I have made an irresistible treaty.”

“So are you going to kill me? To keep the oath?”

“… … I won’t kill you if you tell me where my brother is.”

The red bird clung to its feathers and whispered softly.

‘You’re threatening me.’

I knew Alois Beth well.

The fact that she is good at deceiving others with clever words, and in fact, she is very soft-hearted.

‘Looking at you saying that, I guess you must have written something in your oath with Princess Seirin.’

Alois was very careful.

The imperial family suddenly came and asked her to kill me, so there is no doubt that she did not have a secret plan in place.

‘If you refuse Seirin’s request right away, you will be killed, so you must have pretended to accept it.’

I smiled and spoke.
