The Blond Male Lead is Too Much - Chapter 69



Only Ran(o)vel dot com

That was understandable.

My hair was disheveled from galloping on horseback, and the ashes carried by the wind were scattered here and there, making me feel dirty.

“Still, I’m glad you came on time. You were the last one to enter.”

At those words, I took a good look around the lobby. Among the crowd of young ladies my age, there were two people who stood out.

One of them was Princess Calciad, who was staring at me with her arms crossed and a blatant grimace on her face.

‘You really participated this year too.’

I was disappointed, having secretly hoped that she wouldn’t be greedy this year, despite the low odds.

At the same time, her expression was strangely frowning.

‘Just like someone who doesn’t get what he wants… … .’

As I turned my head away from the princess, I saw another person.

Brown hair that flows and wavy with a lustrous sheen, and blue eyes that are full of spite.

‘Why is he here again?’

Janice Charophée, my half-sister, also took her place proudly in the preliminary round.

Unlike the princess, Janice wasn’t much of a challenge, but just being in the same space as her was unpleasant.

Besides, he’s already glaring at me with his eagle eyes.

It was when I let out a short sigh at the feeling of inexplicable annoyance.

“Hello, everyone. I am Garnet, the head maid of the Imperial Palace.”

A middle-aged woman with a stern expression appeared and closed the lobby door.

And after checking the number of people currently gathered in the lobby, he said.

“From now on, the preliminary contestants are asked to go to their respective waiting rooms and prepare.”

“Our room is on the second floor, miss. Let’s go and wash up first.”

“That’s right. Move quickly.”

At Mandy and Lane’s urging, I went up to the waiting room first.

Fortunately, the room had a small bathroom, so I was able to take a quick bath.

After washing my face and washing my dirty hair, I came out feeling refreshed.

“Phew, good. What do I do now?”

“Please sit here and we will dress you up.”

Mandy sat me down in front of the vanity.

And then Rain and I started to work hard to dress me up.

The makeup was completed with delicate touches, and it was decided to style her hair after changing into her dress.

“Excuse me, the dress is over there.”

Rain pointed to a makeshift curtain partition placed near the window.

I tried on the dress two days ago to check the size, so it wasn’t my first time seeing it.

Chook.

Rain, who had half-opened the curtain, froze in place and became speechless.

“Rain? What’s wrong?”

“… Mr. Rain, are you okay?”

Mandy approached Lane, who was frozen like a statue, and put her hand on his shoulder, expressing concern.

Then he followed the rain and looked inside the curtain… … .

“what’s this?!”

Suddenly he screamed.

I also felt ominous at Mandy’s unusually strong reaction, so I got up from my seat and approached the partition.

Chook.

As I opened the curtains, a mannequin wearing a dress appeared.

To be exact, it was a dress that had been torn to shreds by someone.

‘Shit… … .’

An hour ago, in the lobby of the villa.

Johanna burst into laughter at the sight of Shailene’s imminent arrival.

‘How did you get out of all that?’

In order to prevent participation, several traps were set up along the route from the Diat Duke’s residence to the Imperial Palace.

Since it happened while I was off guard, I thought I would never get there in time.

I was annoyed that he showed up so stubbornly.

And there was one more person who felt similarly.

‘Miss, Shailene is in it too!’

It was Janice.

Having recently moved to the capital from her county, she decided to enter this queen contest to establish herself in the capital’s social circles.

Unlike when I was in the territory, I was already feeling discouraged seeing all the dazzling young ladies.

Seeing Shailene change just as much made me feel both annoyed and jealous.

‘I barely managed to get a dress, and now he’s hiring a Blue Moon designer. This is not fair… … .’

That was something that Gwen had to beg her brother to get done.

Janice, who was chewing her lips, followed Shailene without realizing it.

The three of them entered the waiting room, chatting happily, not even realizing that someone was following them.

Janice opened the door slightly and peeked into the room. She saw them going into the bathroom and a bright idea struck her.

‘I have to ruin this dress while I’m at it!’

Since she was little, she couldn’t stand seeing Shailene have anything better than her.

Regardless of the results of the preliminary round, I hated seeing Shailene show up in a prettier dress.

Janice crept inside and removed the partition on one side.

“and…….”

The dress, with its rich and delicate silver embroidery and dozens of diamond dust sprinkled on the hem, was beautiful.

It gave off a pure yet elegant vibe, like a mixture of a clear summer sky and the sparkling Milky Way.

Janice, who was momentarily taken aback by the incomparable sophistication of her dress, soon gritted her teeth and looked around.

She found the scissors that Rain had used and left on the table and picked them up without hesitation.

Sizzle.

The dress quickly became tattered as the sharp edge of the knife mercilessly cut into it.

“Hoo hoo hoo.”

Janice, who was smiling with satisfaction at the results she had created, was startled by the sound of someone coming from the bathroom.

She hurried out of the room before she was caught.

‘Oh, you came out with scissors… … ?’

She looked at the silver object in my hand in confusion, then soon threw it carelessly on the floor.

Teeing.

‘If you leave it like this, how will we know who wrote it?’

As Janice walked along in a hurried manner with that thought in mind, a handkerchief fell out of her pocket.

And the shadow that had been secretly watching her since earlier picked up the scissors and handkerchief scattered on the floor.

“Hmm… … .”

Johanna squinted her eyes and looked back and forth between the things left behind and the spot where Janice had disappeared, and the corners of her lips twitched.

Originally, I came here to try and get my hands on Shailene, but unexpectedly, I ended up witnessing an interesting scene.

“That’s interesting.”

Johanna muttered softly, grabbed her scissors and handkerchief, and left.

* * *

“This… Since when has it been like this? Who did this?”

Just a few days ago, Rain asked, barely holding onto her sanity as she saw the dress she had worked so hard to complete now so terribly ruined.

“I, I don’t know. I was definitely fine until I came out to pick up the young lady… … .”

Mandy shook her head, her face in confusion.

At that moment, Rain muttered blankly.

“My scissors are gone.”

“what?”

“I think someone sneaked in and ruined my dress with my scissors.”

Rain was clutching his head, lamenting his carelessness.

I asked her cautiously, trying to comfort her.

“Isn’t there any way to fix it… …?”

“The clothes are completely tattered, it will take at least a day to fix them… … .”

This is driving me crazy.

Honestly, even I couldn’t see how it could be restored to its original state in an hour, so I closed my eyes tightly and opened them again.

But I can’t just give up like this.

“Then we have to find another way to resolve the situation.”

As I said that and looked around, Mandy suddenly ripped off her maid uniform.

“… … ?!”

“Can’t we do something about this, Mr. Rain?”

Mandy held out the torn hem of her dress to Lane and pleaded earnestly.

“I can give you more if you need.”

“Mandy… … .”

When I saw her offering up her own clothes for me, I was overcome with a heart-pounding emotion.

He made a walnut on his chin and shot Mandy a look of admiration, then suddenly looked at her thoroughly.

At that moment, a good thought crossed my mind.

“Rain, can you make a dress like I said?”

“Um… … Would you like to tell me something?”

As I explained the modern clothing that came to my mind, Rain’s dead eyes gradually came to life.

“Yes, I think it’s possible. But it’s a bit unconventional and might be controversial… … Is that okay?”

“Yeah, don’t worry.”

Rain, who gained confidence from my firm answer, started to repair the dress.

In the meantime, I offered the dress I was wearing as material and had Mandy do my hair while wearing a chemise.

I parted the bangs slightly and used a hot iron to curl only the ends of the hair to make it look more voluminous.

Then, she gave off a mature, noble, and elegant impression, just like when she attended the Duke of Calciard’s party.

“Okay, you’re all done.”

Finally, Mandy smiled brightly as she placed a hairpin decorated with a white flower on the side of my head.

After a while, the repairs to the lane were also completed at the right time.

“I’m done too. Uh, how are you… … ?”
