The Blond Male Lead is Too Much - Chapter 20
Only Ran(o)vel dot com
“Oh, meow!”
You shouldn’t run like that when you have a hurt leg!
I chased after the cat in a panic. The kitten was so quick-witted that I lost track of the baby in the maze-like alleyways.
Miss, that won’t work.
Just tying a handkerchief around your leg won’t help your injured leg get better. If anything, running around will probably make the wound worse.
I couldn’t just leave it alone, so I went looking for the cat that had run away.
“Baby, where did you go? Baby!”
It was when I was wandering through remote alleys, checking inside trash cans and rolling bags.
As I happened to turn a corner, I saw two men in priestly attire talking in a secluded place.
‘Huh? That guy… … .’
Even one of them was a blonde priestess who had previously boasted a beautiful appearance and a bright smile.
Another man bowed deeply to the platinum blonde and apologized.
“I’m sorry… … I couldn’t do what you said… in the end.”
Maybe because the distance was a bit far, the conversation was intermittent and interrupted.
The platinum blonde looked down at him with a surprisingly cold face. It made the smile he had seen on the street seem like a lie.
“The work… is lacking. … … I am disappointed ….”
“I’m really embarrassed… … as a person… ashamed.”
“Okay. I’ll take care of the rest… … so go back.”
The man bowed repeatedly and disappeared into the alley.
The blonde haired priest left alone sighed softly and ran his hands through his hair in annoyance.
‘Is there a problem in the temple?’
I don’t know exactly what was discussed, but since they were both priests, it was likely a temple affair.
‘Hmm, if I go and ask if they’ve seen the kitten now, I’ll seem tactless… … ?’
But it might be a chance to kill two birds with one stone: talk to the platinum-haired pretty boy and find out where the cat is.
While I was worrying, I unconsciously pressed my hand against the wall.
But in fact, it wasn’t a wall, but a pile of wooden boxes placed in front of the wall.
Crap.
A pile of unbalanced boxes came crashing down on me.
“Eww!”
Instinctively, I covered my head and crouched down.
Luckily, the board that had been standing up with the boxes fell diagonally over me, blocking the attack of the pile of boxes.
Instead, the problem is that we’re trapped inside this pile of boxes―.
“Excuse me! Help me!”
I screamed at the top of my lungs.
In fact, it was a request for help directed at the platinum-haired priest who was closest.
Thud thud.
Fortunately, I heard footsteps approaching, as if they had heard my voice.
Yeah, even if you’re not blonde, you should save me if you’re a priest.
I looked outside between the stacked boxes. The gaps were bigger than I thought, so I could see very well.
I think my face, from my eyebrows to my nose, can be seen from the outside.
“ah……!”
Soon, a blond-haired priest appeared at the entrance of the alley where I was.
In the backlight, the purple eyes shone clearly on the shadowed face.
The moment their eyes met.
“… … ?!”
He turned around and walked away.
……what?
Are you just going now?
‘This is how it’s going to end? Is this right?’
I was dumbfounded by the reaction that was the exact opposite of what I had hoped for.
I was so shocked that I lost my mind, then I knocked on the box and called the priest, but he never came back.
No, have you ever seen such a bad guy?
In the end, I tried my best to somehow get out on my own.
“There’s someone here! Please save them!”
The boxes wouldn’t budge, and no one came to help me.
Exhausted, I desperately called out to the person wandering in my head from under a pile of dark boxes.
“knife!”
“why.”
Then, as if by a miracle, an indifferent voice was heard.
Suddenly, the boxes piled up around me disappeared and light appeared.
Then, the face I had longed to see appeared. Carl, who had rolled up his arms and pushed the box away, reached out to me.
“Kaaaaaaal!”
I called him happily and stood up, holding his hand. I really felt like crying.
“caution.”
Perhaps because I was crouching, my legs were numb and I was staggering, so Carl quickly helped me up.
A firm chest made of muscles touched my cheek.
Wow, I thought it was a rock.
In the midst of all this, he grabbed my shoulder, who was admiring me, and straightened me up, narrowing his eyes.
“Master, didn’t I clearly tell you to stay still?”
“Huh…?”
“I looked for you.”
“Oh, sorry. Somehow… … .”

As I awkwardly apologized and looked around, Karl sighed, touching his forehead.
“It’s a problem even if I tell you to rest comfortably. From now on, you have to stay right next to me.”
“huh.”
“And now, master’s earrings.”
He took a pair of bright blue butterfly earrings out of his pocket and held them out.
I accepted it with surprise and delight.
“Wow, you really came looking for me! Where did you find me?”
“It was lying at the entrance to the stock exchange. I looked and the hook was a little loose. Go fix it.”
“Okay, thank you. After all, there is no one better than my servant!”
He smiled heartily and gave a thumbs up.
“… … Ahem. Let’s go.”
Carl nodded and cleared his throat, as if it wasn’t too bad to hear.
After that, while I was shopping with him, I kept looking around to see if I saw any injured kittens.
But in the end, I never saw that cheese cat again.
Also, the injured blond man near the square was never found.
Hey, here’s my hint!
In the end, without making much money, he bought a few things from Karl and returned to the duke’s mansion.
Thanks to the minimalist nature of the romance novel, it didn’t cost that much money.

A man appeared in a shady alley in broad daylight.
He was wearing a high-quality black robe and stared intently at Shailene’s back.
Beneath the robe, ash-blond hair and turquoise eyes with a mysterious light could be glimpsed.
‘There was no need to help.’
In fact, he had come because he heard Shailene crying for help.
Just as I was about to help her, a man who looked like an escort appeared.
Thanks to that, I was able to avoid getting involved in troublesome things… … .
‘I couldn’t repay the favor.’
The man looked down at the bloody handkerchief in my hand and then slowly turned around.
His presence naturally disappeared again, melting into the darkness of the alley.

From the next day onwards, I waited with anticipation for the stocks to rise.
Third day of purchase.
My stock returned 20 percent.
To this extent, it is a success, but the problem is… … .
‘Wow, this isn’t even worth 100,000 gold.’
Principal 80,000 gold, profit 16,000 gold. Total 96,000 gold.
The seed was so small that the money was collected in the amount of dust.
The saying that a little goes a long way is a lie. Even if you collect dust, it’s still just dust…
‘So when are you going to save money?’
Suddenly, I felt dizzy and sat down on the sofa, when someone knocked on the window.
I turned my head with difficulty and saw Karl standing on the balcony.
“What, why are you doing that?”
“I’m feeling frustrated because I suddenly feel like I’m a beggar.”
“This is truly refreshing.”
Carl walked over and picked up the newspaper.
He raised an eyebrow after reading an article about the rise in stock prices of Clark Magic Tool Developers.
“The owner bought it.”
“Yeah. But that won’t make you any money. Money. Ha… … .”
I let out a frustrated sigh, because I don’t have the luxury of spending time leisurely and making money in this world.
The knife flinched as he hugged the cushion and sagged weakly.
“Would you like to go now, to feel the sorrow of not having money all by yourself…?”
He hovered around me as if he didn’t know what to do, then eventually he quietly closed the door and left.
When coming in, go through the window. When leaving, go through the front door.
What a peculiar servant he is.
* * *
Carl came out of Shailene’s room and walked down the hallway with a sullen look on his face.
I felt bad because I felt like an incompetent servant who couldn’t help his master who was struggling because of money.
As I was scratching the back of my head for no reason, Paul walked over from the other side.
“Carl, what are you doing here? Are you slacking off again?”
“No, I’m just coming back from my visit to the owner. He told me to just go.”
“What? Did you do something wrong to the young lady?”
Karl frowned and shook his head. It seemed like the butler of this house thought he was a thug.
He is a servant who treats his master well.
“It’s not my fault. I guess you’re sad because you don’t have enough money to invest in stocks.”
“… … Was the young lady interested in investing?”
“Yes, I made a profit. I didn’t make much money though, since the investment amount was less than 100,000 gold.”
“I see… … .”
Paul nodded with a rather serious expression at the unexpected news.
‘There’s a reason why they say blood can’t be thicker than water.’
The Duke of Diat was the most powerful family in the empire.
They say that each of their bloodlines is born with talent, and although she is a collateral branch, she seems to have inherited the blood of the Duke’s family and is also talented.
After much thought, Paul told Bartholomew this fact.
Bartholomew was agitated by the latest news about his granddaughter.
