The Male Lead’s Fake Sister

simply, he asked why she didn’t make a deal to kill Tidwell.
And it was the only question that Ravia couldn’t answer with the previous explanation.

Just as Herod said, it’d be much easier to kill Tidwell.
Even more so that she got help from a big shot like Herod instead of hiring some petty assassin.

‘I’d sound ridiculous if I say I got information from the novel in the end.’

She couldn’t come up with a feasible answer at that moment.

“Just because….I don’t want to.” That’s all she could say.

I don’t want to.

I don’t want him to disappear completely when I push him out of my range.

As usual, I don’t know the reason.

It’s just that all the time leading up to this moment has piled up, and it’s not even clear which one is the starting point.

Maybe it was the day when Tidwell kissed me.
Maybe before that, when I took Tidwell to my room, or when Tidwell wrapped his coat over me in the carriage.
When he grabbed me by the wrist at the charity party.
When I saw Tidwell who came to the library after receiving my letter…..

Maybe when we locked eyes on the first day he came to the mansion.

Their relationship may have begun to go awry from that point.

In the moment of discord, he pressed his lips against hers.

In a world where no one wanted her, the man who wanted to kill her became her admirer.

‘Tidwell.’

As she walked down the stairs, she caught him at the edge of her gaze.
A man approached Ravia as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Ravia wanted to put this relationship back to square one and ask him again.

Do you still want to kiss me?

Are you still going to look at me with that gaze?

I pricked your eyes and kicked you out, but will you still want to stay next to me?

Tidwell, when that’s happen…..

“Sister.”

….Will you still love me?

As Ravia stopped walking, the man who called her lightly approached slowly.

Despite his weight, the steps he took were light and silent.
The man greeted Ravia from a few steps away.

“I was worried because you were late….did you change your clothes?”

“Yeah, I spilled a drink on my clothes when I went back.”

“I see.
I was worried that something might have happened when I was not around, but I’m glad you’re alright.”

She could only smile lightly, watching the man who had no idea that she was about to kick him out.

When my father returns and you learn what I’ve done to you, will you still look at me the way you do right now?

When Duke Leontine returns, he will have to wake up from his dream.

He will no longer be Tidwell’s prisoner.

‘My father will wake up from hypnosis.’

Duke Leontine, who was already released from hypnosis, will banish Tidwell and had returned to his cold, uncaring self.

As always.

The days when she was showered with warmth and love will disappear like a mirage.

It was like having a sweet dream on a winter night.

In her head, she knew it was nothing but illusion, but secretly she longed for it….

‘How ridiculous.’

Ravia laughed inwardly, taking Tidwell’s hand as she went down the stairs.

Of course, she didn’t forget to check what happened during the time she was away.

“I think I’ve been away quite a long time, is the Marquis here?”

“He was over there a little while ago, but now I’m not sure where he’s gone.”

“Did you talk with him?”

“While I was waiting for you….I talked to him for a moment.”

She could see how Tidwell’s expression slightly hardened upon hearing Marquis Callister’s name.

There seemed to be nothing to worry about.

“…Really? I wish I could see him with you.”

“How about saying hello to him now?”

At Tidwell’s suggestion, Ravia turned her gaze toward the crowd where Marquis Callister might be.

Ravia, staring mindlessly at the crowd, recalled the conversation with Herod before leaving the balcony a little while ago.

Herod accepted Ravia’s offer and added something before she left.

-That’s enough for the deal.
May I ask you something personal.

-Please say it.

-Everything has gone so smoothly up until now, but I feel like we’ve just missed one very important thing.

As Herod said that, he took something out of his sleeve.
It was the earring worn by Herod’s substitute that she had found in Tidwell’s drawer.

-Why don’t you ask about this?
