The Male Leads Were Stolen By The Extra [EN]: Chapter 117

The next day,

The Empire, which had been quiet for a while, was in an uproar. The reason was…

“A breakup. I can’t understand what she’s thinking.”

Leyeph, who was reading the newspaper, looked serious.

The newspaper contained an article about Grace Bennett sending a letter of annulment to Duke Ian Cherbil.

The reason why high society was so noisy was that Grace, not Ian, had demanded the annulment first.

“Argh! I’m going to kill her with my own hands!”

McRyan screamed, ruffling his hair roughly as if he was annoyed.

However, when Selonia stared at him silently, McRyan’s mouth shut. Even his pupils, lost and restless like a sinner, were shaking greatly.

Currently, the four were sitting in the Grand Duke’s drawing-room.

Of course, Selonia was sitting side by side with Tan, and McRyan and Leyeph were across from them.

And McRyan had only been free from black magic for a few minutes.

Two hours earlier, she had stopped by Erzel Jewelers, which she had not been able to check yesterday, to find out the price of the limited-edition necklace Grace was wearing.

9 million gold.

The amount was the same as the bill stamped with Galloway’s seal.

She wasn’t very impressed. She was already sure.

As she was about to turn around with Tan, who had accompanied her to confirm the facts, Leyeph came to her with an urgent look.

‘Selonia, we have a big problem.’

Leyeph’s words that followed were so absurd that she was speechless. It was the news that McRyan had been hit by black magic again.

Yesterday, she had been busy discovering the basement in the Bennett baronial residence and finding the real ‘Grace,’ so she had forgotten for a while that McRyan had met Grace to avoid being caught after he had been released from the trick.

It was late, but she thought that he was a noble dragon who kept saying that he would take care of it…

It was a complete misjudgment.

When she promised to meet at the Grand Duke’s residence with Tan’s consideration and brought Leyeph and McRyan, Selonia was able to face McRyan in the same state as before.

He was running wild with the feelings for Grace that had been forcibly injected into him.

The moment Selonia saw that, all the complicated emotions caused by the truths she had learned yesterday and today flew away, leaving only one emotion.

“Haa… Selly, I said I’m sorry. Please stop looking at me like that.”

McRyan, who had been watching her, finally opened his mouth as if he couldn’t stand it.

“What look?”

“You’re saying I’m pathetic. Since a while ago.”

“You know that.”

“I didn’t want to be hit. I can’t do anything if I don’t have a heart.”

“Don’t call yourself a dragon anymore. It’s a sin against your noble dragon ancestors.”

“……”

McRyan, who was making excuses, shut his mouth again.

Looking into her chillingly cold eyes, he couldn’t argue even if he wanted to. He was very ashamed that he had been tricked by Grace not once but twice.

“…How did that woman notice that the trick was broken?”

At that time, Leyeph, who had been watching the two of them, opened his mouth to ease the suffocating atmosphere.

But that was a stupid question. When you think about it, there was no way Grace wouldn’t notice.

Leyeph and McRyan, who had been tricked, were constantly looking for Grace. But if they didn’t come and avoided her from some point on, it was natural to be suspicious.

Besides, seeing that she noticed right away, McRyan’s acting yesterday wasn’t very good.

Anyway. My head is killing me with the truth that came all at once, but it’s not helpful.

The good thing was that Grace asked how the trick was broken, but McRyan didn’t mention his healing magic.

“Damn it… She knew I was going to take my heart back.”

McRyan bit his lip tightly as if he was humiliated, and opened his mouth again, washing his face with both hands.

“That woman is not in her right mind. She’s completely crazy and obsessed with strange delusions. She rationalized the reason for using the trick by saying that she was putting me in the place where I was supposed to be, and that she was just taking back what she deserved!”

As if expressing his anger, McRyan jumped up from his seat as if he was about to break the table in front of him.

“Sit down.”

Selonia coldly said, picking up her teacup without even looking at McRyan.

“…Sorry.”

McRyan, who couldn’t find his original intention and lowered his tail, obediently sat back in his seat. Eventually, even Leyeph next to him looked at McRyan with pity.

‘She’s just taking back what she deserves.’

Selonia thought, sipping the warm tea.

McRyan, who doesn’t know anything, may think Grace looks like a delusional patient, but she knew everything now.

Because she switched souls, Grace herself was the real Selonia, so she said that.

So, when did she use black magic to steal Ian, who was originally Selonia’s man, and now she’s breaking up with him.

Clearly, Grace has decided that Ian is no longer useful. She thought she didn’t need to keep him by her side anymore.

Because now.

‘She’s trying to go back to her place.’

Selonia stayed up all night thinking and thinking.

Why did Galloway pretend to be a kind father to me even though he knew everything?

The conclusion reached when all things were combined was one. To get his real daughter back.

Galloway, who would have participated in the soul-switching, had to keep me by his side until Grace took over this body again.

If I found out the truth before that, I would be able to escape with this body, so he tried to give me trust and faith as much as possible and tie me tightly to his side, pretending to be a kind father.

While deceiving me, a stupid fool who doesn’t know anything, in his hands.

You switched souls as you pleased, and now you’re going to switch souls again as you please?

No way.

Even if I’m not the real Selonia, this wasn’t right.

I didn’t forcibly take this body. Rather, I was forced into this body and suffered all kinds of hardships for half a year.

But now that everything is over and it’s easier, you’re going to turn it back? Are you going to skip the hardships and crises that almost killed you countless times and enjoy only the good things?

‘Who’s going to let you?’

She gritted her teeth to avoid being caught with her lips trembling with injustice and anger.

Grace would have demanded a breakup without undoing the black magic she had cast on Ian.

If she undid the black magic now, it was obvious that Ian, who had learned the truth, would not stand still. Grace, the daughter of Baron Bennett, would not be able to withstand the aftermath.

‘Maybe she can blame all of this on me or the real Grace.’

If that woman switches souls again and takes over Selonia’s body, she could be free even if the fact that she used black magic on the three men was revealed afterwards.

Because that was what ‘Grace Bennett’ did.

So, from now on, I had to get evidence that Grace and Galloway used black magic to switch souls, and that they were trying to switch souls again.

‘I’m never going to be still. Never.’

“Selly, what are you going to do?”

McRyan looked at Selonia, who had been silent for a long time, and cautiously opened his mouth. At this, Selonia’s gaze, which had been looking at the air, reached Leyeph and McRyan.

Now that McRyan was released from the trick again, it was only a matter of time before Grace found out that she could undo the black magic with healing magic.

In addition, she would also know that I knew that the male leads were hit by black magic.

“Haa……”

A deep sigh flowed from Selonia’s mouth.

Now, no one related to the family could be trusted anymore. Not even Ella.

Of course, there was a reliable existence called Tan by her side, but it was impossible for Tan and her to find out all of this.

In the end, she needed these clumsy old colleagues.

“McRyan, tell me more about that man named Gale you saw.”

Soon after, McRyan’s mouth opened and the three began to talk.

Tan was silently watching the three of them, his eyes shining strangely.

* * *

“Hehehe~”

Titania hummed as she was being brushed by the maids.

It was because her mood, which had been falling into the abyss for a while, had soared to the end of the sky.

“Your Highness, His Majesty is said to be preparing a very grand banquet to celebrate your Highness’s twentieth birthday this year.”

The maid, who had always been watching the Princess’s mood, took the opportunity to speak.

To further enhance the Princess’s mood, which seemed to be enjoying herself for the first time in a long time, lest it worsen.

“Of course. Whose birthday is it? My father loves me very much.”

Titania smiled, raising her head as if boasting of her haughty nose.

“That’s right. Not only His Majesty the Emperor, but no one will not love the only treasure of the Empire, Your Highness.”

“That’s right. No one can disobey me. Now, that’s enough brushing, so go out.”

With a satisfied expression, Titania beckoned. It was an eviction order that could not be found at all, as if she was turning away an animal.

But the maids did not show any displeasure and quickly left the room. Because you must not offend the little tyrant, the princess.

Tak.

As the maids closed the door and disappeared, Titania immediately opened the drawer of her dressing table.

Inside was a small fist-sized container. A container containing the tea leaves given by Grace Bennett.

“First of all, it would be nice to make the Grand Duke kneel in front of me and beg.”

Then, she would watch Selonia Besin’s surprised and betrayed face with her own eyes.

Titania raised her head with a sneer, as if she was thrilled just imagining it.

In the mirror in front of her was always her beautiful face.

Her birthday party soon will be grander than ever.

And next to her, who is more beautiful than anyone else, will be Tan Hershbrook, a man worthy of her dignity.
