CHAPTER 29

How The Male Lead Cures The Young Lady Who Has A limited Time

After splitting up with Kerbel.

Yvette went straight back to the party to find Liliana.

But wherever she was hiding, she couldn't even see Liliana's existence.

'I think Noel is still busy.'

Yvette glanced at Noel, who was still surrounded by people.

'If I go now, I will be caught.'

She was not yet familiar with the speech of the nobles.

Rather than interrupting him and making a slip of tongue, she thought it would be better to go out for a while until Noel managed to get out on his own.

On the way, Yvette came out of the party and took a walk around the academy for a while.

To soothe the feeling of being alive, she's planning to visit the places in the original work.

The first place she headed was a small fountain near the party.

She was a little worried that there would be many people, but fortunately, it was quiet around the fountain.

As she approached the fountain, the first thing that caught her eye was the colorful pebbles.

Thanks to this, the water surface reflected in the sunlight shimmered beautifully.

It looked the same as the original work described.

"I came just in case, but it's here."

About half a year later, this fountain was the place where Noel confessed his love to Liliana.

"It's a little strange to see it like this."

Yvette, who was staring blankly at the fountain, murmured.

When she saw this place, she realized that she was once again in a novel.

'...If I hadn't possessed this body, would Noel and Liliana fall in love like the original?'

As she survived, many parts of the original work were changed.

Baron Larishi, who should have been Count Blanche, was chased by gambling debt, and Noel, the male protagonist, became the fiancée of an Extra character.

It is now impossible to even imagine how the future will unfold.

'All of this happened because of that bastard's curse.'

Yvette looked at the fountain and sighed as if the ground was going to sink.

If Kerbel had not cast such an absurd curse, things would not have turned out this way.

'What did Blanche's ancestors do wrong in the first place, so that Kerbel cast such a ridiculous curse?'

The reason he placed a curse on Blanche is not uttered in the original.

I can only vaguely guess that it must have something related to Liliana.

'Because the only person that can move Kerbel's heart is Liliana.'

If his way of thinking is a little ordinary, she would have thought that he was a pure and innocent man.

Unfortunately, in Yvette's head, Kerbel was pictured as a madman.

"As you go, please stumble on a stone, fall, and break your nose."

It was the moment she prayed with all her heart.

"....No way, I hope it's not about me".

A familiar voice was ringing from behind, and there was a shadow over her head.

Yvette looked back in surprise.

Then Noel, who was looking at her with a slight frown on his forehead, caught her eye.

"I was wondering where you went, but you're here."

Yvette got stabbed at the words he spits out.

Originally, she was planning to go and look around for a bit.

Time seems to have passed much faster than expected.

"I'm sorry for leaving without a word. You looked so busy so, I couldn't interrupt you."

Yvette smiled awkwardly and avoided his gaze.

Maybe it's because her hopes of breaking the curse today were trampled on.

Somehow she couldn't look at him in the eye.

"I thought you abandoned me and ran away."

Noel looked at Yvette while muttering in a tone that she couldn't tell if he was joking or serious.

Yvette, who felt guilty again, raised the corners of her lips.

"Hey, No way. I can't be like that…."

"From now on, even if I look busy, tell me. Because I'm worried."

"Yes, I underst…. What?"

Yvette, who had responded subconsciously, raised her head.

Then, Noel, who was smiling with an unknown expression, caught her eye.

'Because you're worried. What do you mean?'

Yvette looked around without realizing it.

'Is there someone around here? Is that why he says that?'

But no matter how much she looked around, there were only two people near the fountain.

'What's this? Then, are you serious, not acting?'

As soon as she thought reached that point, her heart sank.

'....No, can he stop saying things like that with that face?'

'Will he be responsible if I have an arrhythmia?'

Yvette struggled to swallow the words that filled her throat, making eye contact with Noel.

"It's an honor for Duke Aberon to worry about me."

Yvette said more playfully on purpose to hide her embarrassment.

However, contrary to her intention, Noel's reaction was not very good.

".....Not the duke, but Noel."

Noel frowned and corrected his name.

Yvette opened her eyes curiously.

"Why? It was right that you're a duke."

"I don't want to hear that appellation from you either."

Noel said determinedly.

Because his appearance looked so serious, Yvette nodded, wondering.

"Okay, then. I'll call you Noel."

Only after hearing a definite answer from her, Noel regain his smile.

"....Was there anyone who bothered you while I was away?"

"They must have known what kind of trouble they're going to get after touching the Duke of Aberon's fiance."

Most of those who attended the alumni reunion were from noble families.

And even if she wasn't a noble, few people wouldn't know that she was Noel's fiancée.

"Well, that's right."

Noel who gently admitted extended his arm to Yvette.

"How about going back? It's cold."

Yvette took his arm and spoke softly.

"I'm not sure if it's cold. Noel must be sensitive to cold."

Noel, who was slowly keeping pace with her, nodded.

"That's why I don't really like winter."

It was also a cold winter on the day of Aberon's tragedy.

Is that why, when the days got colder, he used to feel on edge than usual.

".....Tell me when it was cold. I'll at least take off my coat."

Yvette, who recalled such a fact, carefully opened her mouth.

She was also aware of Aberon's tragedy.

She couldn't know if she didn't read It. Because it was a big part of the original story.

"Your clothes can not fit me."

Noel, who smiled, threw his eyes at Yvette.

"Why don't you take care of your body first rather than me. Don't faint like last time."

"....Even if you don't say it, I'll take care of my body on my own."

Yvette murmured lightly, glancing at Noel.

How long did we walk?

Finally, someone hurriedly blocked the front of the two of them as they were about to enter the party hall.

"W, Wait a minute!"

'…A Student?'

For a moment, I was surprised by the sudden appearance.

Yvette opened her eyes wide and looked at her opponent.

Then two students in academy uniforms caught her eye.

One was a girl with black eyes and short silver hair that reached her chin, and the other was a boy with dark blonde hair and purple eyes.

As if they had just run, they were both gasping for breath.

"I'm so sorry for talking to you all of a sudden. But I don't think there will be a chance if it's not now."

The silver-haired girl bit her lip and then released it.

Seeing that she was restless, she seemed to be very wary.

".....you were the daughter of Marquis Theron."

Then, Noel casually opened his mouth.

Unlike Yvette, who was surprised, he looked familiar with this kind of situation.

'She's the daughter of Marquis Theron?'

Yvette opened her eyes wide and looked at the girl in front of her.

After hearing Noel's word, she looked back and was sure of many similarities to Marquis Theron.

"Yes, that's right! My name is Syavel Theron. It's an honor to meet the two most famous people in the Empire."

The girl who introduced herself as Syavel smiled broadly and nodded her head.

The dimples that dimpled her cheeks whenever she smiled were quite charming.

"Nice to meet you, Lady Theron."

Yvette, who greeted her belatedly, smiled awkwardly.

Come to think of it. I remember hearing a story from Marquiss Theron.

'Did she say that you were my fan?'

To be precise, She's a true Yvette Blanche fan.

'Looking at the fact that I had fans, it seems that I was famous in the past.'

She didn't know anything about Yvette Blanche's past.

At least, she knew that she was a graduate of Luhen academy through other people's mouths.

'I hope they didn't disappoint when they see me.'

She was a little worried, but fortunately, Syavel seemed to have found nothing strange about her.

"You're a lot older than me, so please talk to me comfortably. It would be better if you could call me Syavel rather than of the Young Lady Marquis of Theron."

As Syavel said with a smile, the male student who was standing beside her snorted.

Unlike the excited Syavel, he had a strangely dissatisfied face.

"You didn't let others call you by your name even if you were dead, but you were shaking because you were in front of your idol."

As he spoke sarcastically, Syavel poked him in the side with all she could with her elbow.

"Terry, don't say anything nonsense in front of The Count."

"What. I didn't say anything wrong."

"Shut up. Just one more word and I'll sew your mouth shut."

Yvette blinked slowly, as she looked at the two of them arguing in a rather fierce tone.

At that time, she pondered for a long time whether she should stop them or not.

"....What is it? Why are we here?"

"Why are we here? We're here to say hi!"

"That's right. It's disrespectful that only you being greeted, Syavel."

Suddenly, a group of students approached and surrounded Yvette and Noel.

They seemed to have gained courage when they saw Syavel, after only looking for opportunities to come.

"Hello, Duke! My name is Anna Lerolian. I heard you a lot from my parents."

"Me too, Duke! You can't tell how excited I am to hear that you're coming to the alumni reunion today!"

Most of the students who approached them were young girls who appeared to be in their early and mid-teens.

Maybe that's why, especially, a lot of people gathered around Noel.

Noel stared at the girls around him with no expression.

His gaze was so cold, that Yvette, who was watching from the side, felt embarrassed.
