The Blond Male Lead is Too Much - Chapter 50
Only Ran(o)vel dot com
In an awkward atmosphere, the two people each did their own thing.
Linus’s forehead wrinkled as he couldn’t see the words on the document today.
‘Did I overreact? You probably don’t even know what book it is anyway… … .’
Shailene’s gloomy face continued to linger.
Eventually, Linus, unable to bear his uneasy feelings, turned his head toward her and told her to just rest.
“Charophet Youngae… … .”
But his words were left unfinished and trailing off.
It was because Shailene had fallen asleep while leaning against the bookshelf.
The sunlight streaming through the window brightly illuminated her mysterious hair and white face.
Linus got up from his seat without realizing it and approached her as if possessed.
I smiled faintly as I looked at her calm and peaceful sleeping face.
‘Are you tired already? Well, I’ve been working you quite a bit lately.’
It’s already been a week since I started visiting the market like this.
Linus also realized that he was being quite picky and giving Shaylene a hard time.
Actually, it was somewhat intentional.
I don’t mean to make things difficult, but I secretly find your reaction amusing and I want to be a little more mischievous.
On the other hand, I also felt worried.
‘Are you putting it too close… … .’
His mother’s reaction was like that, and his own situation of having touched the forbidden book was not very good, so if he got involved in the wrong way, it would have caused great harm.
Linus muttered, gently touching her soft cheek with his finger.
“Still, isn’t that too defenseless?”
How can you fall asleep like this when the crown prince is working right next to you?
It’s absurd, funny, and a little cute at the same time…
Before he could even scold himself for thinking such a crazy thing, Linus’ hand found its way to his flowing silver hair.
At the same time, blue eyes flashed open.

To be honest, I had a hard time sleeping last night and was sleep deprived.
What woke me up from a brief sleep while I was organizing the bookshelf?
-Tiring!
It was a cheerful notification sound.
【Your male protagonist is within 1 meter in front of you.】
The system window flashed in the still sleepy field of vision.
What? My male lead?
Instinctively, I reached out and grabbed something.
Soon, the window disappeared and what appeared was… …the crown prince.
What I grabbed was none other than his hands. They were calloused from holding the sword and pen.
“majesty……?!”
Coming to my senses belatedly, I let go of his hand and sat up abruptly.
The crown prince looked down at the hand that was holding me with a strange expression, coughed in vain, and turned around.
“Does Young-ae think my office is her bedroom?”
“I’m sorry, I’m just tired.”
“If you’re that tired, let’s go home early today.”
“Oh, no! I’m not tired!”
I quickly waved my hand and refused. What are you talking about when every second counts right now?
I was anxious because more than half of the two-week mission deadline had passed.
You need to figure out the problem quickly, solve it, and hear people say it’s thanks to you.
I was worried that he might kick me out just because I was asleep, but fortunately, the crown prince didn’t do that.
I asked quietly as I watched him return to his seat.
“Your Majesty, are you not tired?”
“not really.”
“If you have any difficulties or need help, please let me know.”
I made a small appeal and pretended to organize the bookshelf, glancing at him from the corner of my eye.
Didn’t you say earlier that my boyfriend was within 1 meter of me?
There were only the two of us in the office at the moment, and the only person within a meter was the crown prince.
‘Can we consider this as a confirmed male lead? … ?’
It was time for me to come to my own conclusion.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty the Emperor has arrived.”
The attendant who suddenly came in reported.
I froze in surprise at the word emperor, and the crown prince sat up abruptly.
And before I could do anything, the door opened and a middle-aged man appeared.
Dark blond hair with a hint of brown, and golden eyes like the crown prince.
A somewhat nervous impression due to the prominent cheekbones and beaked nose.
‘That man is the emperor… … .’
He was a man who had little in common with the crown prince, to the point that it was hard to believe that they were father and son.
“His Majesty the Emperor.”
Even though he was his own father, the crown prince bowed politely.
I also stood in the corner, observing the situation, and bowed in silence.
The emperor naturally took the seat of honor and nodded.
“Sit down.”
“What brings you here?”
The Crown Prince asked, sitting obediently across from him.
The Emperor’s sharp gaze, with a faint frown, was directed at his son.
“I heard you’re hanging out with Young-ae these days.”
Oh, this is me.
As soon as I flinched at the stab, the Emperor pointed at me with his chin.

“Is that Young-ae?”
“Yes, this is Young-ae Shailene Charophé, who is helping me.”
The crown prince introduced me plainly. But the emperor seemed to have different thoughts.
“You bastard, you kicked out all the ladies I told you to meet. Did you just accept the one I introduced you to at Diat?”
Openly expressing anger by frowning.
It seemed like he thought I had set up a blind date with the crown prince through Dane’s arrangement.
That’s not it… … .
Of course, if you actually set me up on a blind date, I would accept it right away.
“Young Lady Charophe and I have no relationship whatsoever, Your Majesty.”
The crown prince stood firm and cleared up the emperor’s misunderstanding.
“And, so far, I have met every single young lady Your Majesty has helped me with.”
“But why don’t you even have a lover, let alone a fiancée?”
“Well, I guess the other side didn’t like me. They might have been disappointed that I wasn’t as docile as they had thought.”
The tone was subtly cynical. Even the smile on his lips was cold.
The emperor must have sensed this too, because he got up from his seat and shouted in anger.
“This guy is making fun of his father!”
“Fix it, Your Majesty.”
As soon as his face turned red, the man who had come in with the emperor stepped forward.
At first glance, I thought he was the emperor’s attendant, but upon closer inspection, I saw that he was wearing temple clothing.
‘Does that mean he’s not a servant but a priest? … ?’
I looked at the man curiously, wondering why the priest was there.
“Your Majesty, I am sure you have your own thoughts.”
“What are you thinking! You must be ignoring me because you resemble my mother!”
The emperor, unable to calm down even after hearing the man’s words, kicked the desk.
bang!
Something rolled out of the desk, which was vibrating violently.
Bam.
It was a red leather book that the crown prince had become angry at when I tried to touch it.
“What is this?”
The emperor frowned and kicked the book that had suddenly appeared.
At that moment, I witnessed the crown prince’s expression subtly harden.
“It’s nothing.”
Despite his plain answer, even the priest showed interest in the book.
“It looks like a book, but the leather looks quite luxurious. It must be an important book.”
The priest picked up the book, looked it over, and tried to open it.
When I saw that the crown prince was increasingly failing to control his facial expressions, I raised my hand.
Judging from the response, it seemed like a book that should not be revealed to others, so it was intended to help.
“That’s mine!”
Everyone’s eyes turned to me at the sudden shout.
I quickly straightened my posture and bowed my head politely.
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. That’s my diary.”
Then the priest asked back in a tone of disbelief.
“Is this a diary? Something this thick?”
“yes!”
“It doesn’t seem to me like that. Can you check for me?”
“No! Absolutely not!”
When I immediately refused, a look of suspicion appeared on the priest’s face.
“Why?”
“That, that… … .”
I rolled my eyes because I couldn’t think of any excuses right away.
Then, across the hall, his eyes met the crown prince’s.
He’s still handsome even in this situation.
“I’ll check it myself after all―”
“actually!”
I said whatever came to mind, looking at the handsome face that was brimming with inspiration.
“I have a crush on His Highness the Crown Prince, and I am writing down my feelings and making a book out of them. It’s, what is it? It’s like an autobiography. That’s why I’m embarrassed to show you.”
“……yes?”
The priest looked at me with a dumbfounded face.
Sounds like bullshit to you, right? I know, because it really is bullshit.
He approached the priest, pretending to be shy, and snatched the book from his hands.
“If you still doubt it, I will read you a line myself!”
I opened the book at an angle that was invisible to them.
“… … ?”
A strange demon image popped out and he was startled, but he didn’t show it and cleared his throat.
And then he shamelessly made up a story.
“Ah, why is His Highness the Crown Prince so perfect? His Highness’s face is so handsome today. Every time he looks handsome, I hit the wall, and my room became one with the hallway. His Highness has everything—good looks, personality, and wealth—but there’s one thing he doesn’t have. I’m Shailene Charophé, the eldest daughter of the Countess of Charophé.”
“… … What is handsome?”
“Oh, that’s a compliment meaning you’re very handsome.”
A terrible silence fell upon me as I finished answering the Emperor’s question.
I could vividly feel the heat rising up my ears and neck from the overwhelming shame.
Please someone say something… … .
After a while.
“Pfft.”
The crown prince broke the awful silence with a small laugh.
He covered his face with his large hands and shook his shoulders quietly.
It would be better to just laugh it off.
