The Blond Male Lead is Too Much - Chapter 143

“What is it? Do it.”

“that is…….”

I hesitated, unable to continue speaking. Then Carl grabbed a few strands of my hair and tickled my face with them.

“Oh, what are you doing?”

“Just relax your expression. I won’t get mad if you ask me to die instead, so just talk to me. Why are you hesitating so much?”

… … Why does this guy sound so creepy when he gives examples?

But thanks to that, my mind was at ease and I spoke up with courage.

“You know… I would like to exclude the heresy-related charges this time.”

“Because of the priest?”

Carl asked with a blank expression. I answered honestly.

“I’m concerned about Raviello, but there’s really no proper evidence yet. Howard Dempsey cut his own tongue out.”

But for whatever reason, I was trying to remove the main suspicion from the sword’s nemesis, so I watched his reaction.

“I was afraid that if I brought it up too hastily, there would be no room to dig into it further… … .”

“Then do that. Since it’s the information you found out, you can do whatever you want with it.”

Contrary to my worries, the answer I got back was clear. Without hesitation, Carl immediately raised his hand.

From his perspective, he’s the author who killed his parents and took everything, so he’d probably want to punish him a little more.

I was just looking at him with a moved expression because I was so grateful, but Carl met my gaze without avoiding it and slowly moved his lips.

“Shailene.”

“huh?”

He slowly leaned in, his hand resting on my side. I was taken aback by his face, which was getting closer and closer.

What, what? As if you were going to kiss me… … .

‘But why all of a sudden like this? Uh, we don’t have a relationship… … ?’

My mind was in a complicated state. Even in the midst of all this, Carl steadily narrowed the distance between us, and before I knew it, we could feel each other’s breath.

When I looked into her clear and clean eyes like rubies right in front of my nose, my eyes automatically closed tightly.

And then the lips of the sword―.

“What did you ask here?”

“……ok?”

My eyes widened at the touch of a hand stroking my cheek. I wasn’t going to kiss you… … ?

As I looked at him, unable to hide my dazed face, Karl raised his straight lips in a smirk.

“Why are your eyes closed? Were you imagining something wicked?”

“Oh, no?! Not at all!”

The thief denied it, shouting as if his own feet were ticking.

Miss, it’s embarrassing.

I felt the heat rising to the back of my neck and around my ears as the embarrassment surged in.

But he was the one who gave me a romantic look first… …!

“I have something to do, so I have to go.”

“suddenly?”

“Things usually happen suddenly.”

Carl grabbed my hand as I hurriedly cleaned up and stood up and said.

“Shailene, I’m not the kind of guy who would kiss someone without permission.”

“… … Are you an idiot? Who asks permission to kiss? They all do it on purpose.”

“Okay? Okay, I understand. Keep that in mind.”

The nodding face was more serious than I expected, so I swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.

No, it’s like you’re definitely going to kiss me next time.

Just imagining kissing the man who was once my faithful servant―.

‘Shaking.’

My heart was pounding so fast, like I was holding my breath while running a marathon.

This seems to be… … .

After returning to the Duke’s residence, the system window notified me that the mission was completed.

【Mission Clear!

Congratulations, you’ve safely uncovered the truth behind the deaths of the Duke and Duchess.

As a reward, I will tell you the favorability rating of the character you want.

Which person do you want?】

The moment I saw the question in the system window, only one person came to my mind.

knife.

More precisely, Kylan Calciard.

Assuming that the hidden male lead has nothing to do with being blond, honestly, the only person I would feel the most affection for was Karl.

‘If the sword is really a hidden male character and has a high favorability rating towards me, I can achieve the condition right away.’

I swallowed hard. I felt nervous for some reason, so I took a deep breath.

Phew, ha, phew, ha.

‘… … But what if Carl doesn’t like me romantically?’

I’ve never been a person who’s received much love since I was born, but I’ve come to realize that there are many different types of love in this world.

Love as family, love as friends, love as lovers… … .

Of these, no one knows what kind of feelings Karl has for me.

‘If you don’t love me at all… … .’

Hurt.

My chest hurt as if someone had stabbed me in the heart.

When I imagined kissing Karl earlier, it felt like it was going to jump out, but now it was stinging painfully.

‘This way, I don’t even need to check my favorability rating.’

I let out a hollow laugh, then pulled myself together and looked at the sword’s favorability rating.

Please, get over halfway. Get over halfway at least… … !

– Tiring!

【♥Kailan Calciard Favorability♥

100】

“……ah.”

The tension was relieved and the strength left my body as the numbers far exceeded my expectations.

I had an inexplicable feeling.

Feeling happy and good, but also feeling uneasy and nervous?

‘Oh, why are you like this? Are you worried that Carl might not be the male lead?’

Strangely enough, I felt uneasy. Like someone who had received an unwanted result.

In the end, that night, I tossed and turned without being able to sleep a wink.

Now that I think about it, it was much easier to conquer the original male leads.

After completing his investigation within the family, Kylan opened a formal trial for the Howards.

Their trial was attended by a large crowd of onlookers, who could witness the downfall of the arrogant duke and duchess right before their eyes.

Shailene and the Diat family also attended the trial, taking their seats in the first row of the gallery.

When Shailene met eyes with Kyleon, who was sitting at the manuscript table, her lips formed a shape.

‘cheer up!’

I greeted him. Carl smiled and nodded.

A moment later, Mrs. Howard was led into the courtroom by the knights, bound.

Howard looked terrible, having cut out his own tongue, and Johanna also had a pale and haggard complexion.

‘It’s not that pitiful.’

Shailene frowned at their haggard appearance.

I didn’t feel any sympathy because I had vividly seen the way he lived well and ate well by sending Kylan to hell.

As the defendant entered the courtroom, the three judges in charge of the trial also entered.

“We will now begin the trial of Howard Dempsey and Johanna Dempsey.”

The judge sitting in the middle solemnly declared.

The spokesperson for the Kaylan side, who had the first opportunity to speak, stood up and spoke.

“Howard Dempsey murdered the former Duke Henry Calciard and Duchess Catherine Calciard, forcibly usurped the Household from Prince Kaylan Calciard, and attempted to murder him as well.”

The suspicion of the murder of the former duke and duchess was not known to the public, so the gallery, which first encountered it today, was in an uproar.

“What? You didn’t just steal the family crest?”

“Oh my god, I thought you died in a carriage accident… … .”

“How can you do such a thing while wearing human skin? You are truly the devil.”

As the people’s murmuring grew louder, one of the judges struck the gavel to order silence.

The spokesperson, who had deliberately left the audience talking, continued speaking.

“Not only that, but by using Emma, ​​the former head maid of the Duke of Diat, and Viscount August Dawson, they falsely accused the Duke of Diat and Count Charophet of treason.”

At those words, several people glanced at the Shailene family sitting in the front row.

It was hard to imagine that they had been in danger of losing their lives just a short while ago; they were all sitting upright and staring straight ahead.

“I hereby call Emma as a witness on this matter.”

“I permit it.”

As soon as the judge gave the order, the courtroom door opened and Emma appeared.

Deborah turned her head as she saw Emma hesitantly crossing the audience, looking shabby.

Even though I had already sorted her out in my mind, the painful feeling of being betrayed still lingered.

Shailene noticed this and quietly took Deborah’s hand.

Emma stopped before the judge.

“What exactly did Count Howard Dempsey ask you to do?”

The spokesperson came up to her side and asked her a question. Emma swallowed hard and opened her mouth.

“Your Majesty, at first you threatened me by telling me that I once believed in heresy and made me do what you said. Then, through Viscount Dawson, you ordered me to hide heretical items all over the ducal palace.”

“What was the testimony given at the court meeting?”

“That, that too was ordered by the Count! Oh, I regret it now. I shouldn’t have done that… … Sob.”

Emma burst into tears, covering her face. The spokesman, deciding that she had nothing more to ask, asked next.

“I call Viscount August Dawson as a witness.”
