Chapter 1 - Prologue

Chapter 1

Prologue

“Rachel.”

Oh, it was a sad voice. When he spoke in that kind of voice, it made me forget that the former was firm and angry. I agonized for a moment while biting my lips, but soon shook my head.

No matter how much I favor him, I can’t let this go.

I moved away from where I had stopped. Even if I walked fast, I couldn’t get away from him who had longer legs and a bigger stride than mine.

“Please, Rachel.”

He grabbed me by the shoulder after catching up. His expression was on the verge of tears after holding me so eagerly.

“Brother.”

I ended up calling him. I knew this would happen. I didn’t think I’d be able to get mad when looking at him.

His hair, which looks like the absence of stars on a clear night sky, fluttered in the wind.

Underneath his pitch-black hair, I could see glowing eyes that looked like melted gold was poured into them.

I could not look anywhere else when I met his eyes, which were even shinier than the surface of water.

Accurately noticing my slightly resigned facial expression, he carefully opened his mouth.

“It’s my fault. Forgive me.”

No, what are you begging for?

After a small sigh, I looked around and held his hand. I only pulled lightly, but he easily got dragged.

There were no people in the hallway because they were all in the banquet held at the imperial palace, but we still acted carefully.

No one knows when, who, or what they would hear.

Then I whispered with my lips close to his ear.

“Don’t throw gloves at the banquet hall from now on. Okay?”

“…..”

But he didn’t answer. He looked at me desperately as if at any approaching second he was ready to eat me.

My face was going to get pierced with how intensely he was staring. It’s your favorite part of me.

I got goosebumps because I stared at him in silence with his doll-like appearance staring back.

He wanted to caress my arm, so he tried to pull his hand out of my grip, but I gripped it harder.

“Brother.”

I called him again with a stern look on my face.

Only then did Lucian who looked at my face, let go of the hand he held as if he really didn’t want to let go.

He suddenly opened his mouth as he let his arms hang loose at his sides with his wandering hands.

The sorrowful voice he had a while ago had now changed to a cold voice.

“I can’t promise that.”

“……Brother?”

He had never disobeyed what I had said before, so I had no choice but to react one beat slower.

I was surprised and stopped moving while his hand caressed down my arm, he then held my hand again and gently raised the corners of his mouth.

It was his expression that I liked the most. He smiles softly at me with affectionate eyes.

However, contrary to his soft expression, the words coming out of his mouth were as sharp as a blade.

“I’m really offended by people who approach you recklessly. Actually, gloves aren’t enough. I should have continued all the way…”

Looking at him who wanted to say something more, but seemed to swallow the words, I unintentionally defended the young man who asked me for a dance.

You should not throw gloves at the banquet, a life or death duel is too much, and besides, I’m worried about your well being!

“But requesting a dance at a banquet is just a formality. They thought I came without a partner, so they just asked me for a dance. But as soon as I finished dancing, you suddenly threw gloves at them.”

“You’re stupid to think you’re here without a partner, Ray. Your partner is me.”

“……”

I couldn’t refute this part either. Of course I had to come without an official partner.

However, since I came with my family, It could be said that I did have him as my partner and dance as he said.

“You could dance with me.”

Lucian added carefully.

“Sigh…”

I breathed a long sigh.

Yeah. Could I ever win over him, my favorite, in an argument?

Especially if he shows me that kind of look. But that young man didn’t do anything wrong!

While I stared at him with his beautiful eyebrows pulled down in a pitiful look, I pulled his hand.

“Let’s go home, brother.”

Now that I’ve said this, I’m sure you understand that I’m wrapping this outing up.

He didn’t move when I was about to step away. So I tugged my hand slightly.

He needs to come to me if he’s going to behave like this.

But I couldn’t get him to listen this time. Rather, I was yanked back by him because he used a little strength.

At the same time, the heels I was wearing were so unstable that I felt like I was going to hit my face on his chest.

But before I hit my forehead on his hard chest, he naturally wrapped an arm around my waist.

As smooth as a dance.

Lucian put my hand around his neck and looked down at me with a calm gaze.

He looked so handsome no matter how many times I looked at him. I was ashamed that I could feel my cheeks reddening, so I tried to get away from him.

But I couldn’t.

After he put more force on his arm around my waist, I lowered my head. His soft hair tickled my neck.

No wonder I was accompanied by a breezy feeling around my body.

“…Rachel.”

Sometimes his voice sounded like a cold winter. I’m sure his eyes are as warm as spring.

“Yes, brother.”

“Don’t dance with another man again.”

“I’ll think about it.”

Shouldn’t I get married someday? To do that, I should dance with other men.

As if he didn’t hear my answer, he naturally turned the subject around.

“Until when will you call me brother?”

“What would I call you instead brother if I shouldn’t call you that?”

As if he had heard a joke when I answered he let out a small burst of laughter and then I looked up.

He moved his face closer to mine.

His eyes were bright like a brilliant full moon floating in the dark night sky, so I thought I would be possessed without realizing it.

“You and I are not blood related .”

Ah……my favorite. Why are you hitting my sore spot all of a sudden?

I had been adopted by the duke, but Lucian was dissatisfied with that decision.

How nice was this sister to you?

When I looked at him with a very sad look, he asked in a begging voice.

“Call my name.”

I always call you by your first name…

I don’t know why you keep asking me to call you by your name these days.

Well, there’s no one around, so should I just give in?

I purposely called it out in a small voice with a bright expression.

“Lucian?”

“One more time.”

“Lucian.”

While I was still blankly calling him by his first name, he suddenly smiled brightly.

My heart thumped so hard when I saw that expression that I’ve never seen before.

Because I always wanted him to be happy like that.

His arm, which was still wrapped around my waist, pulled me closer. Leaning heavily on his chest, I felt suffocated and tapped him on the back.

Why do you like it so much when I call your name? Do you want me to say it often?

I was delighted by his reaction and thought of doing that often to please him, but I didn’t see what kind of expression he was making.

I didn’t know at this time that he would be lovingly brushing his fingers through my hair while holding me close.

Where on earth did I go wrong?

Chapter 1 – I Possessed an Extra in a Romance Fantasy Story?

There were three major turning points in my life.

At the third turning point, I read web novels and webtoons like crazy.

Like I was running away. Tired of living in reality, my mind has been sent elsewhere and locked myself away from society.

Then one day, I opened my eyes and found myself as a little girl in a cute dress.

My gloomy and dazed spirit gradually faded as I faced a new world.

This is what they called Possession!

Dismissing it as a dream, I enjoyed my life without thinking.

On top of that, I devoured the affection that the sweet parents of my possessed body gave me.

Even if it wasn’t affection meant for me, I wasn’t disappointed.

When I desperately wanted this situation to continue forever, I got the news as suddenly as before.

My parents had passed away. Because I was in a situation similar to my previous life, I returned to isolation again.

In such a short period of time, I never expected my uncle to come over to my family’s estate.

Even if my uncle was Count Narrum and his family, I could not do anything but watch.

Despite my sorrow, I soon came to my senses, but the situation was already out of my control.

I wanted to escape again, and I was already running away from something, but when I was thinking about how to get out of here, someone came for me.

It was the Duke himself, a high aristocrat of the Empire.

The Duke said, while he was looking at me with sorrowful eyes.

“I’m… your godfather.”

I didn’t know about the existence of my godfather. I didn’t know a lot about the world I was now living in, but I didn’t want to miss this chance.

All I wanted was to escape.

After following him I found out which novel I have been living in.

The bright sun briefly hid behind the clouds, and I could see the face of the boy who came out to meet me.

He had long eyebrows, and big eyes, and his irises peeking out below his long eyelashes glowed like gold.

His nose bridge is sleek and high, and his face was pale and white, but his red lips showed that he was alive.

His appearance itself was very colorful and bright, but his expression and eyes were numb.

This contrast made the boy’s aura look mysterious.

Finally, after wiping away the tears right under my eyes, I came to my senses.

I knew the boy in front of me very well.

《There is another doll that lives in the dollhouse》

The BL Webtoon I read just before I was sent here.

It was the only work that I wrote malicious comments on while reading web novels and webtoons for three years.

Nevertheless, the reason why I had to love this novel is because of this boy, someone who would be swallowed up by regret.
