The Blond Male Lead is Too Much - Chapter 77



Only Ran(o)vel dot com

A pair of hats that looked exactly like each other caught everyone’s attention as they crossed the hall.

“I am grateful and happy to be here with you today. I hope this event will be a happy memory for you all.”

After the Empress’s brief greetings, the court orchestra prepared to play.

Linus, his reddish blond hair neatly slicked back, glanced around the hall and approached Shailene without hesitation.

“Charophée Youngae, your dress suits you very well today.”

Shailene’s gloomy face brightened as soon as she saw him.

“I guess that means I look pretty good right now?”

“… Well, whatever. I just meant that the dress looked good on you.”

Linus shrugged slightly, trying not to look embarrassed.

Shailene smiled brightly, even though it was essentially an excuse.

Linus glanced at her and smiled nervously, lifting one corner of his mouth and reaching out his hand.

“Would you like to dance a song with me?”

It was the first dance request.

“I’m glad. My dancing skills have improved a lot over the years. I might even take the lead in dancing now.”

“Your dreams are big too.”

He snickered and took Shailene’s hand as he walked towards the center of the hall.

Carl felt his stomach turn as he saw his hands wrap around Shailene’s waist.

The way they laughed and whispered the whole time while dancing, as if something was so enjoyable, seemed to set fire to my insides.

‘If I hadn’t been betrayed… … would that place have been mine?’

Carl, who was making such an assumption, covered his mouth and let out a hollow laugh.

It’s not like there’s any grand cause, and I feel so strange and stupid for doing this just to dance with Shailene.

‘This is how it is… … Anyone can see that I’m jealous.’

Carl let out a small sigh, turned around silently, and started walking away.

I was trying to get out of the situation before I could do anything else.

Meanwhile, Shailene, completely unaware of the fact, was busy flirting with Linus, the only male protagonist currently known.

“Looking at it up close, Your Majesty’s eyes look like they are filled with stars.”

“That sounds like a bit of a cliche.”

“But I’m serious. You have really beautiful eyes.”

Shailene lifted her head slightly, stared into his eyes, and smiled bashfully.

It’s not that those eyes were as clear as pure gold, but in some ways they were clearer than the stars.

Linus, who felt embarrassed for no reason, let out a hollow laugh as Shailene smiled brightly while their faces were close together while dancing.

“I really… … .”

Who’s talking? He muttered in a very small voice.

Shailene’s blue eyes looking up at him were shining brightly like stars.

‘You have pretty eyes.’

I thought about that without realizing it and ended up blushing on my own.

“What is it, Your Majesty? Did I perhaps make things too burdensome for you?”

Shailene noticed Linus’s expression, which seemed to be slightly hardened, and asked with a hint of concern.

You can’t go out of your way to increase your favorability only to end up lowering it.

Linus replied with a chuckle.

“Young-ae has been like that since the first time I saw her, so there’s nothing new about it, so don’t worry unnecessarily.”

“… … I’ll take it as a compliment for now.”

Shailene took Linus’ hand and spun him around, then gave him a quick hug.

The faint scent of flowers, a slender body that seems less than half my size, and eyes that hold starlight.

Linus felt a strange sense of regret as he watched all of those things leave him.

But after the two people finished dancing, a system window suddenly appeared before Shailene’s eyes.

-Tiring!

【Special Bonus! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝

We would like to inform you that Prince Linus’ favorability rating has increased by 10 points.

(※Current favorability 68)】

“… … !”

It was good!

Shailene smiled, holding back a scream of joy.

I didn’t find a male protagonist that day who didn’t like grape juice, but I did manage to raise Linus’s favorability rating.

In addition, he once again gave the Empress a thumbs-up.

It wasn’t a bad result.

13. The beginner butler is too much

I’ve been socializing for a while, collecting blonde beauties who hate grape juice.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the number was not that large.

It was at a time when I was sending out a lot of plotting letters to the roughly selected new male lead candidates, pretending to ask how they were doing.

“Miss, Bartholomew is calling.”

At Paul’s words, I put down my pen and went straight to the Duke of Diat’s office.

Gong, who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, greeted me.

“You’re here, Shailene. I called you because I finished reviewing the contract you gave me last time.”

“Oh, yes.”

He quickly sat up straight in his diagonal seat and his eyes sparkled.

A few days ago, I gave Gong a contract regarding the trade of magic stones with the Magic Tower and asked him to take a look at it.

It was something I wrote diligently on my own to keep the promise I made to Matapju as a condition for becoming my dance partner.

“The conditions aren’t too bad. At this level, you and Matap will share half the gains and losses.”

“Is that so? Phew… … .”

“By the way, even though Matap is a good place to do business with magic stones, wouldn’t it be a shame if you have an exclusive deal and can’t sell them anywhere else?”

“Anyway, when a new magic light appears, I’ll be pushed back a step. It’s better to sign a contract with the best opponent on good terms now.”

Gong nodded, saying that that was true, and returned the envelope containing the contract.

I said thank you and went outside to think.

‘Now that the contract is ready, shall we go meet Matapju?’

I contacted the rooftop in advance and got a reply saying I could come tomorrow.

So the next afternoon, I packed up the contract and headed to the tower with my sword.

“What brings you here?”

“I came to see the Lord of the Tower. I made an appointment yesterday.”

“Ah… … I’m sorry. Lord Matap went out this morning and hasn’t come back yet.”

The junior wizard guarding the lobby spoke with a troubled expression.

“Really? Then I guess I can’t help it. I’ll have to wait until you come.”

I swallowed my regret and sat down on the lobby sofa just like when I first came to Matap.

But no matter how long we waited, the magician never came. We were left in the lobby indefinitely, just like before.

“Oh, what? When are you coming?”

As I grumbled softly, Carl whispered loud enough for only I to hear.

“Going out again?”

“Hmm… … . This time, writing with a branch is a bit much. Let’s go for a walk or something.”

I got annoyed because I made an appointment and the timing didn’t match.

Everyone was running around busily, so we were sitting still and waiting, so we got a little bored.

“Wow, the air here is nice.”

Coming outside seemed to relieve some of the stress. Located on the outskirts of the capital, Matap had lots of grass and trees around it.

You could say it’s nature in the city.

I took a leisurely stroll around the tower and enjoyed the sunshine. The breeze was blowing pleasantly, perhaps because autumn was approaching.

“Don’t walk with your eyes closed. You’ll fall.”

“You can catch it before then.”

“What if I accidentally miss it?”

“I don’t think that will happen to you.”

It was while walking behind the tower, exchanging swords and pointless conversations.

Rustle.

I heard something moving in the small bushes.

“Huh? What is it?”

“for a moment.”

Carl, who had stopped me from approaching out of curiosity, checked inside the bushes first.

I peeked my head out from behind him as I saw his expression become mysterious.

In the bushes was a small cat lying helplessly.

Grayish yellow fur and faint jade eyes.

“…uh?!”

That cat was the cheese cat I had met in the alley and on the rooftop before.

“Baby!”

Startled, I quickly pushed through the bushes and picked up the kitten.

I felt the overly hot body temperature and the soft texture of the fur on my palm.

“Why are you like this? Does it hurt?”

“… Meow.”

The cat whined softly and twitched its tail. I patted its back and patted it.

Then the cat curled up in my arms and closed its eyes as if it felt comfortable.

The small body sagged uneasily.

“What should I do? It looks like she’s in a lot of pain. Carl, can you take her back to the duke’s residence first?”

“… … Me? Then what about the owner?”

“I have to go see the Lord of the Tower. I have to make a contract. You go and treat him. If you can’t, ask Mandy.”

The knife took the cat in a half-hearted manner, as if it didn’t look very appealing.

After sending him off in the carriage, I returned to the lobby and paced around anxiously.

Miss, when are you coming! I have to hurry up and sign the contract and go see Yaongi!

At that moment, I was wondering if I should call Deborah and contact Matapju.
