I Found a Husband When I Picked Up the Male Lead Compiled by me, 22-YEARS OLD SINGLE- ASIAN GURL. Chapter 1 - wuxia “Do two truly love each other and pledge to be together for the rest of your lives?” “Yes.” “…” He answered without even an ounce of worry. On the should-have-been the happiest day in the world, the bridegroom has a cold face that should not have been there on his wedding. However, there was a satisfied smile on his lips. Something only he can recognize. Werazel*, on the other hand, was just staring at the wall blankly. She had to answer the officiant’s question, but couldn’t answer it. If I say yes, I won’t be able to take back everything. *still considering a name change… coz Werazel???6 ‘Am I really getting married?’ I can’t see this person’s thinking at all. I never dreamed I’d marry him. Of course, all of this was his choice. “Werazel.” Werazel trembled with astonishment at the voice breaking the quiet silence. She slowly raised her head and looked at the man in front of her. The man, wearing a neat black dress, glowed as if the main character of the wedding was the groom. His face seemed to be carved, like the sculptor’s life was devoted to his face. Eyes that are glistening like red diamonds, and lips that are firmly closed under a pointed nose like a well-polished arrowhead. He was perfection itself. Much taller than any adult man and with wide shoulders, he did not neglect his training without fail. Thanks to that, the contours of the muscles that could not be hidden even when dressed were hard and sexy enough to ignite the hearts of many women.1 Moreover, the robe he wore was made using the finest fabrics, one and only suit in the Empire that was born at the fingertips of famous designers. The robes were clean enough not to forgive even the smallest dust, and there were no fine wrinkles. The tendency of the duke to pursue perfection and to keep it intact was revealed. In addition to his robe that smells of money, the dress she wears is the same. She can dare say the designer-made white wedding dress she was wearing was her first expensive dress in this world. The dress made of silk was luxurious with a soft gloss, with the silver lace stitched with pearl and ruby added gorgeousness around her chest line, revealing round shoulders. Hundreds of fine pink diamonds in a mermaid fit wedding dress that clings to her body gave a natural sparkle. It was a luxurious robe of wealth, worthy of the royal family. The ceremony of the two was held in the temple, and the guests were made up of only close relatives. “…” Lizelle looked silently at the person calling her. A smile was pasted on his face. “Would you like to answer me?” He asked in a very sweet tone. Garnering all the women’s excitement and affection. “Does the bride, Werazel Prossier, sincerely loves and vows to be with the groom, Chester Halos?” The officiant asked once more, having hearing no answer. A quiet voice came from the half-empty guest seats with the question. “Lizelle?” Her head turned towards the guest seats and a little child in a tailcoat was staring at her at the front. Now I really cannot go back. With the money I will be receiving, I can play and eat forever. Just one year. In a year, I could live without worrying about money. “Uh… yes.” “I will proceed with the exchange of rings filled with love for each other.” At the end of the wedding, two people took out the rings that were in a box. A ring with a 19-carat pink diamond was fitted in the ring finger on the left hand of Werazel. It fits like a custom shackles. Werazel then put a simple design ring with small diamonds on Chester’s finger. Chester had a pleased expression that only he knew alone. “I hereby declare before Goddess Armikan that the two have come to fruition and become a couple.” The officiant bowed his head in front of the statue of the goddess with a holy heart. Werazel also joined hands along the Chester and bowed their heads before the goddess of the empire and patron Armikan. But there were all sorts of anxiety in Werazel’s face. I feel like I only realize now that I’m really married to Duke of Chase. … “Haaaa…” Werazel lay on the wide bed in the room alone. It’s been a long day. She got up early in the morning, dressed up, and finished her hectic wedding. But that wasn’t the end. After the wedding ceremony, it took about an hour to remove all the accessories she had worn for the ceremony. She had dozens of hairpins, so she had to endure the pain of her scalp being torn apart before she could finally be free. The serenity in the room brought peace to her mind. She had a hard time hearing loud noise all day long. Tok. Tok. A knock on the door was heard. “Come in.” She replied without thinking. She had asked Tia, her maid, to prepare a warm tea earlier. “Are you ready?” However, the voice she heard was deep. Tia’s voice couldn’t be like this….Surprised, Werazel rose up from bed. Her eyes widened. An unexpected person stood in front of her. Werazel’s face quickly blushed to the very comfortable appearance of Chester. “What’s with the clothes?!” She hurriedly turned away, but her cheeks were hot because of the tight muscles that were silhouetted by his thin clothes. “Duke, why are you here????” “It’s time to embrace the bride.” The sly voice of Chester surprised Werazel. “What are you saying?” Hugging a bride. So it means…. “Today is the first night.” Did he just say first night? This wasn’t in the contract? No, why are you talking about this all of a sudden? Werazel shook her head to see if she heard it wrong. “Because we’re married, I have to spend the first night with you, of course. I’m ready, but do you need more time?” However, the person speaking came in more clearly. Werazel’s mouth was wide open as if she had been hit on the head. “Oh no… what is this…” Chester walked slowly towards Werazel. Step by step, the moonlight shone in the dark room, glistening his muscles. The space between the front of the robe was sexy enough for her to swallow as the bed he approached the bed. It seems like his body was elaborately made by the creator, and it’s appetizing. Oh no, that’s not it. Werazel, who came to her senses late, shouted. “Oh, don’t come!” Watching the approaching Chester, Werezel faltered back. Then, the head of the bed touched her back without any corner to escape. “Well, you don’t need to prepare for the first night.” Chester, who was finally on the bed , climbed onto the body of Werazel, who cried. “!!!!” Read latest Chapters at W u xiaWorld.Site Only Werazel was surprised at the face that is nearing hers and stopped breathing. “Don’t even think about falling asleep tonight.” A voice filled the room with strange colors. Chester’s hot breaths headed to the lips of Werazel, his deep red eyes darkening. Chapter 2 - wuxia Two months before the wedding. “So if you borrow money, you have to pay it back!” Crash. A luxurious vase fell to the floor and broke in many pieces. “Hey, hey! Didn’t I ask for a little more time?” The baron made a voice of some harshness toward the bullies who had come to him, but it was no use. They were sweeping all the money and goods they might have been willing to take into a sack. “Look baron, for your title, I’ve given you an extension of the period. Do you have anymore to say? Huh?” Werazel, watching the scene, had a wild thought. ‘You look like a real gangster with such a nasty face that I hate it.’ The well-groomed mansion was in a state of chaos in a flash because of these fleas. Her eyes looked down to the dress she was wearing. It was a dress she bought with a tremendous price from a boutique that she frequented. A dress that looks expensive for everyone. But in front of her, there was a father who was struggling with the ruffians because he could not pay back, and a mother who was crying next to him. This sight is quite a spectacle. This was reality. “That’s why you should have worked on your luxury.” She muttered a little, but no one heard her in this mess. “Give me a little more time. If you give me a little more time, I can pay back the money I borrowed,” said the pitiful and crying Baron Prosier pleading at them. “I’ll take some of the money-worthy stuff as collateral, so I’ll give you two more months. If you don’t pay back by that time, I won’t just look at you then. I’ll take your daughter, too.” The man looked at her from head to foot. Werazel trembled under his uncomfortable glance. She had goosebumps all over her skin and her stomach was aching. “What the hell is that!” “So better pay me back the money.” “All right.” The baron has his tail between his legs. Standing next to him, the baroness held her husband’s arm tightly, as if her legs were weakened. “Let’s go.” In the reception room stood the family of three left devastated. Baron Prosier, his wife and the baron’s daughter, the Werazel Prosier, who created all these four months. “I’m sorry, Lizelle. This father of yours has no shame,” said Baron, looking at the eyes of a daughter who was standing alone. Werazel looked at her father, who had no idea what to do. The baron flinched as she squatted. “No, my father did it to save our family.” The baron was moved to tears as when his daughter, who thought he was going to scold him comforted him. My daughter, she was really mature now. “Lizelle!”2 Werazel patted her father on the back while hugging him. ‘What’s wrong with you. It’s all because of Werazel.’ Werazel Prosier. After turning 20 this year, started enjoying all sorts of luxuries from the moment she entered the social world. Not only did she buy clothes and jewelry that didn’t fit her, she also purchased limited edition items, which was hard to find, and robbed her house of gold. Baron Prosier, who cared for his one and only daughter so much, could not stop his daughter’s luxury. It was because of the parents’ desire to give her better and more expensive things. As a result, the baron’s vault quickly ran out. Although not a high-ranking nobleman, the baron, who had enough money to eat and live, began to hit the rock bottom in no time. When the employees’ salary was pushed back, the Baron belatedly realized something was wrong and borrowed money from the bank. ‘But that money was also used to play with Werazel’s luxuries.’ The Baron took a loan from the bank, and Werazel had luxury, and as this pattern continued to repeat, it reached the point where it was impossible to borrow any more. The bank could no longer lend money to the Baron because he couldn’t pay back the money he had previously borrowed, but even so, Werazel didn’t care how the family’s economic situation turned. She wandered in search of more expensive and valuable items than others, thinking that these would make her appearance even more beautiful and thus asking for money from her father. Eventually, the baron got his hands on the loan shark business when he got stuck with a bank loan. As a result, today’s catastrophe took place. “Lizelle! Don’t worry. I’ll never pass you over to the ruin!” It could be said that her father was thinking his daughter was really touching. She smiled and nodded. “Yes. Father. Let’s work on this together.” “Lizelle… our daughter!” Her face was stiffened with a nice smile, while being held in her father’s wide arms. ‘Wooo. There is no way. “ To be clear, it wasn’t a luxury that she has purchased directly, but a debt that was created by the luxury of the original owner of this body. And damn it, it is me who has to tighten my belt. The timing was amazing.1 Today was the week after she possessed the body Werazel. ‘This is enough to pay off the debt.’ I scanned the bags and accessories that filled the dressing room. The number of them was enormous when I opened the door. So this is why the pillar of the house was pulled out. Werazel clicked her tongue out and checked the resalable items. Some dresses were custom made and it was obvious that she wouldn’t get much money even if it was sold. Therefore, it would be better to resell various accessories such as bags and necklaces. With these limited edition necklaces, earrings, and handbags, there will definitely be money. “Merfin.” “Did you call me Miss?” Merfien, the butler, opened the door as if waiting for Werazel’s call. “These, except for this, refund everything, if there is no refund, sell it back. There will always be someone who is interested in these.” Werazel asked to sell the rest of the jewellery, except for the family ring that matched with her parents and the necklace with emeralds that she couldn’t take my eyes off from. The necklace was a simple and monotonous design with a small emerald so even if it were sold again, it would not be very expensive. ‘I can leave at least one of these.’ I wanted to leave this necklace because I liked it since I first saw it. Werazel put on her family ring on her ring finger and necklace around her neck just in case someone went through her things. “Y-you mean all this?” Merfin made an incredible expression with his eyes wide open. “Yes. There’s a lot, right? I’m sorry, but I’d appreciate your effort.” “Oh, no, not that. Are you sure you’re alright, miss?” Werazel stared at the old butler, Merfin. Merfin looked at her suspiciously of whether this girl was crazy. She answered with a firm look, as if it were not a lie. “Sell them because it’s really all right.” The baron and the butler were both surprised because she changed her attitude in a week. There was a novel that I read because I was bored. I fell asleep after reading the middle part of the book, and when I opened my eyes, I now possess the body of a supporting role that was not even a grain of sand in the novel. 2 Lady Werazel Prosier, who pulled out the pillars of her house* due to being luxurious. *(It means, leading her family to ruin) Only a few days ago did I realize that I now possess a supporting role in the novel because of her minimal exposure in the book. In the middle of the novel, there was a story about the villain who bought the title with money. It was Baron Prosier who sold the title at that time. So, in the end, the baron had no choice but to sell the title because of Werazel. Werazel was a charming woman who would be looked back at once by anyone passing by. The rich and neat light brown hair and green eyes that resemble olives were fresh, and the red lips under the raised nose reminded people of a bunch of roses. She always put investment in herself, and she had so smooth and white skin that even the falling dew could just slide through. Originally, she was pretty, but her beauty beyond that was an effort cultivated with money. “Hmm. Merfin, I’ve been with you for 20 years, and I’ve never been as serious as I am today.” Merfin must have been moved, so he took a handkerchief and wiped around his eyes filled with tears. Werazel smiled awkwardly and quickly walked out of the room, leaving him with words of “please take good care of me.” ‘Merfin’s eyes glistened as if he would hold onto my hand at any moment,’ Werazel lamented. I can’t believe this is the time when the creditors would cause trouble. According to the novel, Baron Prosier will soon be ruined, and his father will sell the title to the villain. ‘Then what about me? What happens to me? Isn’t this where the transition from being noble to a commoner status happens?’2 “No. Absolutely not.” Werazel shook her head with a shiver. Regardless of what the story is about, or who the female and male characters are, it is a priority to raise money to anyone in South Korea. “In two months, I might be dragged into the hands of a loan shark. My father, is absolutely incapable of doing anything using his power, so I have no choice but to roll up my arms and attach them to him.” I didn’t want to live a life struggling with money anymore. Such an experience was enough for me in the past. This time, I wanted to get out of the difficult life. “But where do I get that much money?” Not a little more than 80 million shillings. She wandered aimlessly through the streets with a feeble step. If I were originally Werazel, I would have been riding a carriage for a short distance, saying that dresses resemble each other. Even that was not enough, she always carried extra shoes separated by outdoor and indoor use, saying that expensive shoes would be damaged, but I am different. The bottom of the expensive dress was being dragged to the ground, but I didn’t care at all. Calling a carriage, changing shoes… Rather than doing such annoying work, it was easier to walk on two feet. I was walking thinking, “by the way, how can I raise money?” and the wind was blowing rather strongly. Suddenly, a paper obscured her view, and the surprised Werazel screamed. She quickly removed the paper from her face with nervous hand movements. “Wait… is this real?” Werazel, who earlier thought it was trash and crumpled the paper, quickly spread the paper upon seeing the word ‘shilling’. Then she read the words written on a piece of paper. [Finding a lost child. Name: Rapelion Halos Age: 5 years old Features: Black hair and red eyes. Lost date and time: a month ago. Lost place: The road between Bernie and the capital. ※ If you find a child, please come to Duke of Halos. We will give 100 million shillings in reward to those who come. ※]1 Read latest Chapters at W u xiaWorld.Site Only “The Duke of Halos?” In a moment, a sentence from the novel passes through the head of Werazel. [The Duke of Halos, known as the nation’s richest man, struggled to find the lost child.] “This is it.” Werazel’s green eyes burned with enthusiasm. There was a smile on her red lips. Chapter 3 - wuxia “Is it here? “ Werazel muttered as she looked at the dark alley. When someone reads this rare thought-provoking novel that I am in, somewhere in this slum dumpyard, you will find Rapelion that Duke Halos is looking for. Rapelion Halos. He was the hidden son of Iorn Halos, the former Duke of Halos, known as the Great Father of the Empire, and the male protagonist in the novel. The father of the male lead, Duke of Halos, did not take a wife for a long time even after he inherited the title, because he had a beloved woman and children. Iorn, who was left for a rest alone in a quiet villa six years ago, fell in love with an ordinary country maid, and the woman had a child with him. And anyway… the duke tried to make this woman his wife, but he faced strong opposition from his father, saying she is from a commoner status. Eventually, a few months ago, only after his father died and had a funeral, Iorn was able to call his loving woman and child. However, the duke who left to pick up his beloved wife and children did not return to the estate.2 Unfortunately, he died with his wife in a carriage accident. Leaving Rapelion alone in the world. Rapelion, whose head was severely injured by this incident, lost his memory and wandered around. Then the son of the former Duke of Halos was found by a man and returned home safely. “This is the background story of male lead and……What’s the plot again? “ She only remembered the rough plot. The main story of the novel is the Marquis couple, who had a close relationship with the Halos, and the only daughter of the Marquis, Einsia Heneron, who stayed in the duke’s house for a while and became entangled with the male lead. The male lead suffers from extreme pain because of his lost memories, and every time it happens, Einsia, the heroine who has mysterious healing powers, comes to help. With that opportunity, the two become friends and further developed into a love relationship. And they overcome the crisis together and become adults together. In other words, children’s ‘water for growth’. (Like a plant that grows with nourishment, etc etc.) So, now was the time when Duke Chester Halos was spending money and time looking for his nephew, Lapel. It was a garbage dump, I was certain. In the novel, it was written that Lapel, who had lost his memory, stayed in the trash dump for a while after wandering around aimlessly. He couldn’t be found early on because nobody thought he would have been in the trash. ‘I can’t miss this great opportunity. ‘ The reward is a whopping 100 million shillings. It was an enormous amount of money, with 20 million shillings remaining after paying off all the debts. Werazel tried to control the smile showing on her face. She stepped into a dark alley in bright daylight with high hopes. Every time I walked through the alley, a small amount of trash was crushed under my feet. If it were the original Werazel, she would have gone crazy about the smell of garbage on her shoes, but I didn’t care. ‘Does garbage matter? There are 100 million shillings in front of me’.2 Werazel’s steps, passing through a dark alley and entering into the dump, suddenly stopped. ‘He really lived in a place like this?’ I was so surprised at the unexpected sight. I couldn’t believe it. Can people really live here? … The sight was terrible. All sorts of trash were scattered in the trash yard. From broken furniture to fine waste paper and rotten food. The ground was filled with garbage. She couldn’t find a place to step on. “Ugh!” Werazel quickly covered her nose from the acidic, rotten scent. Her face, while holding her breath, was reddening as if she was going to faint any moment. As she looked around, her gaze was fixed on a hill. ‘It’s just trash… …’ The peaks that looked like hills from a distance were piled up like a mountain of garbage. Around it, flies were swarming, and hungry dogs and cats were digging through a pile of trash looking for food. Rustle. Rustle. At that time, I heard a rustling sound in my ear, which made me so surprised and hardened. It was a sound coming from a pretty close place. “Who is there?” It seemed to be the sound of a beast looking for food but with suspicion that it might be Raphael in there, Werazel moved carefully. “Lapel? “ But all around it was garbage, and she couldn’t find a person’s shape. Werazel turned around, thinking she might be wrong. I wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible. With the blowing wind, a disgusting smell came out. I felt a wave of nausea coming up. I didn’t know if I could really vomit here. This place was an environment where people couldn’t live. No living thing can be here for a month… No, no one would be able to withstand this place less than a week. ‘He’d rather not be here. ‘ It was very fortunate that the child was not in a place like this dirty and gruesome ditch. “M-mom …… . “ But a small sound that came in late had forced her to stop again. “Is there anyone here? Is it Lapel?” I looked around urgently, but all I could see was trash “Mom…. Dad….” Again a faint voice was heard. Werazel moved in a hurry. I don’t care if this dress gets caught by the trash or if the shoes stumble or not. “Huh… . “ Sigh leaked out of her mouth. There was a little child who was laying without strength where she stopped walking. The rough black hair was scattered on the trash, and the red eyes were dull and blurry as if they would soon fade away. Black hair and red eyes. Only the Halos family has those features. The child was obviously Rapelion Halos.1 “Raphelion…” Werazel closed her mouth. The moment she met the eyes of the child who was dying, what she felt was indescribable with any words. The face and limbs of Lapel were scruffy as if rolled in muddy water, and the slender face was almost skeletal. The lips were a lifeless purple color, and the blood was dry and cracked. “……Mother?” A small, trembling hand grabbed the hem of her dress, like a child who met his lost mother. At the moment, the Werazel frowned and her eyes turned red. “No…….I’m not your mother. I’m sorry.” Along with sympathy, a slight guilt slumped in her heart. Ashamed of herself, she was feeling remorse. “Where is my mother…… ? “ At Lapel’s question, Werazel couldn’t say anything. Knowing the answer, she wasn’t so cruel enough to tell this alone child that his parents were not this world anymore, and she wasn’t shameless enough to lie that his parents were coming soon. ” Mom ………Dad …….” Tears ran down Raphelion’s cheeks. Werazel wiped away Lapel’s tears with her hand and sad heart. A small child like this crying looking for a parent who is not in the world… … . My fingertips have been tingling with a sorrowful heart. “Huuuu…..waaa…” Lapel shed tears and exhaled an irregular breath. The face of the Lapel was hot like a red sweet potato. Surprised, she quickly put her hand on his forehead. “It’s a fireball.” The child’s body was hot, too much like being in a fireball, the eyelids were heavy, and the child’s eyes closed after a while and opened again. The sound of the child’s breath was weak as if it was going to stop. “Can you get up?” First of all, I had to take the child to a doctor soon as possible. Werazel put her hands behind the back of Lapel who was lying down. He tried to get up with strength, but the child couldn’t sit properly and fell to the floor without consciousness. “Huck, it’s cold…….” Lapel muttered, staring blankly into the air. Like a half-mindless person. “Cold? Wait a minute, what can I cover… . “ I saw a blanket a little away. However, I couldn’t cover a sick child with garbage with food and dust piled up here and there. Werazel did not hesitate to tear the hem of the dress by hand. The torn dress cloth was carefully wrapped around the body of the kid. Fortunately, it was a three-layered fabric that would help keep the body warm. Werazel took off her shoes she was wearing and threw them towards the unmatched, full-fronted boots nearby. It smelled unpleasant, but it didn’t matter. It would be better than wearing shoes and holding a child and falling over. It’s okay, I’ll get you healed soon.” She raised the upper body of Lapel. She felt like she had to carry him out because he didn’t have the strength to walk. Even though he was malnourished, the child was a child, and she felt a heavy weight in my arms. She held the child and walked out of the trash, ignoring the dress that only reached her knees. On the other hand, the child, in the warm arms of Werazel felt like it was arms of his mother. The first hand I received in this place where no one would listen even if I ask for help. The child felt like a ray of hope for this woman who calls him Lapel. 2 ” Mom … . “ So it was. Lapel lifted up his small hand and grabbed Werazel’s arm tightly. + Read latest Chapters at W u xiaWorld.Site Only I hated to miss it. Lapel captured the scene that was constantly blurring and captured the face of Werazel sweating because of the struggle carrying him as if he had imprinted them in his heart.2 T/N gosh this is so heartbreaking. We now meet Raphelion. Don’t worry, mommy Lizelle is here to save you. As for her name… let’s just leave it as it is. Hahaha.4 Chapter 4 - wuxia “He is sick and undernourished.” The doctor who finished Lapel’s treatment said, staring at Werazel. The expression on his face was judgmental, thinking what did they do to the child to become like this. Malnutrition in this day and age… Even a child in a baron mansion. The physician clicked his tongue. He muttered inwardly, saying that it was the last thing he expected. “Is he going to be okay?” Werazel asked for Lapel, who was lying in bed, with her gaze fixed on him. The child with his small eyes closed and breathing weakly looked sick to anyone. His blue lips were shivering, and the cold sweat that was forming on his forehead was running down his face. “I will prescribe some medicine, but it is very important to feed him well and give him rest. “ Werazel was given a small vial from the doctor. The bottle containing the thin liquid was red like strawberry syrup. “He just needs to take full meals three times a day and give him one tablespoon of this medicine after meals. “ Lizelle nodded. The doctor packed some medical equipment in the room. The woman who couldn’t take her eyes off her child and said to be from a business trip seemed very worried about her child. But the child is malnourished. How hungry is he and neglected…… Again, people are really not what they seem. What a detestable person. The doctor left the room, thinking harshly.1 If she had looked at the doctor’s face at least once, Werazel would have noticed immediately what he was thinking and would have corrected it. However, she was too focused on Raphelion and did not know it. So, she had no choice but to notice belatedly about strange rumors that wandered later. “Lizelle. Who is this child?” The baroness hesitantly came into Werazel’s room after the doctor went out and asked. “I saw him and realized he had lost his parents, I just couldn’t ignore him.” According to Lizelle’s plan, she will go to the duke as soon as she finds Raphelion, seeing him in this condition, the child’s recovery came first so she brought him home. Baroness Rosalie was frightened when she saw her daughter came home looking crazy in a dress torn up to her knees, and even holding a child… I was worried that my daughter had hidden a child from me without knowing it. Rosalie was relieved from Lizelle’s answer. Only then she could breathe properly. It was fortunate it wasn’t something she had to worry about. “I see, so it was like that. Is the child okay?” “Yes, once he eats and rests well, he’ll get better soon,” said Lizelle, removing the dark hair stuck to the cheek of Lapel wet with sweat. “M..mom.” A small sound emanated from his little lips, his voice hoarse. One could see that he was looking for his mother. It was like after his parents died in an accident. Werazel sighed a little. She cannot help but pity him. The child was like herself in the past. At that time, she desperately needed a touch of affection, and so was Lapel. “I’ve cooked some soup so if the child wakes up, give it to him. “ “Yes, thank you mom. “ Rosalie left the room, patting Lizelle on the shoulder, saying it would be okay. Werazel changed the towel on his forehead with a new one. Whether the doctor earlier was good or not, the body temperature of Lapel that was too hot gradually returned to normal. “You’ll see your family soon.” Thinking he would be cold, she meticulously covered him with a blanket up to his chin. His parents might be gone, but his uncle, Duke Chester, depicted as the uncle of the male lead in the novel, will surely cherish Raphelion. “So you have to get better and go see your uncle.” Werazel put her hand on his little chest and patted him. For now, her priority is this child. Once Lapel is all healed, that is the time to think about the reward. The sun rose in the middle of the sky. How long has it been? “Uhh..” Raphelion opened his eyes with difficulty, his thin eye were a bit dry, and after blinking many times, his blurred vision slowly became more and more clear. An unfamiliar place was reflected in his confused eyes. The boy carefully looked around. “Um, are you alright?” When he heard a worried voice right next to him, Lapel’s head turned to the side. The woman he saw before was sitting next to him. Lapel tried to control the tears about to burst in him and swallowed. “I’m glad that your fever has fallen down a lot. “ Werazel placed her hand on his forehead and checked his temperature. It went down a lot more than when she first touched it, and it seemed that he had recovered a lot since she saw him breathing regularly unlike before. “Mom … . “ Lapel reached out with his little hand and grabbed Werazel’s collar. I wanted to feel the warm embrace that I felt before. The soft and cozy cotton blanket. “Lapel, I’m not your mother,” said Werazel firmly. She knows just like a newborn duckling imprinting what it first sees as a mother, and so was the lost Lapel. But she was not. Because she could never be Lapel’s mother. “Hhhh! Mom … … ! “ When he was rejected by Werazel, tears poured out of Lapel’s eyes. Thick, dew-like tears fell on his cheeks and on the sheet. Looking at those tears, Werazel was aching with regret and guilt, but again she really wasn’t his mom. With a firm resolve, she spoke to the boy with a stern expression. “…Lapel.” “Huuuuu! “ She waited until Lapel stopped crying. Lapel stretched out his small, thin arm and clamored for a hug, but she shook his head and ignored it.2 (T/N: Lizelle!!! Why are you doing this to him? Poor kid 😭) In the past, she was particularly weak to children, so she wanted to hug and soothe him, but she held back her twitching hands. The sound of cries that had rang in the room slowly faded, and Lapel looked at Werazel with tearful eyes while drinking a glass of water. “…….” “….Come here Lapel.” Then Werazel stretched out her arms and lifted him up. Lapel cried out as if waiting, burying his face on Werazel’s shoulder. “It’s okay Lapel. Do not cry. “ Werazel gently patted the back of the boy hugging her neck. Her shoulders were wet with his tears. “Umm … Am I Lapel?” Lapel hugged Werazel tightly, not wanting to miss the warm arms he could feel again. As expected, she was cozy like a soft cotton blanket. “Yes. Your name is Raphelion Halos.” Werazel walked around the room, holding him in her arms. “Where are my mom and dad?” Werazel paused for a moment to the open question. She wondered and pondered how best to explain to this child. “You will be able to meet your family soon. They are very, very nice people.” In the end, she chose to answer vaguely. She decided that it would be better to hear this from his family, the Duke, than to hear the deaths of his parents from others. All she could do was return him back to him. “Family?” “Yes, family, They are just waiting for Lapel to come home. “ To be clear, the Duke is waiting very anxiously. He tried to find his nephew by any means and method. So, I had to take him to the duke as soon as possible. “Aren’t you my family?” 😭1 Lapel lifted his head and stared at her. A question mark was drawn on his red eyes that stopped crying. ” Huh. I am just Werazel. “ ” Wer..azel? “2 “Yes.” “Werazel.” Lapel muttered Werazel’s name with a small lip to see if he liked the name of Werazel , with a dimple on his cheek as he smiled. She smiled at that sight too. A small kid like him was calling her name. It was rather cute. Seeing Lapel happy, she stroked his head and a feeling of roughness was struck her hand. As it turned out, it was dirt. As soon as she brought him home, she had no mind to wash him because she thought first of his treatment. Lapel’s hair was covered with dust and was stuck together, and his face was covered with black ashes in several places. “Lapel, let’s go do something fun.” I had to give him a bath because he seemed to have some energy. His body wasn’t all healed yet, but if I left it in such a dirty state, he would only get more sick. Lapel’s eyes twinkled at her voice.+ “Fun?” “Yes, something fun. Let’s go quickly.” “Fun! It’s fun!” Read latest Chapters at W u xiaWorld.Site Only Lapel giggled in the arms of Werazel. He did not know until then that sad tears will fall again. A few minutes later, Lapel’s cry rang loudly in the bathroom when it dawned on him that the fun thing was bathing.2 “Kyaaahh! Nooo! “ Chapter 5 - wuxia “Look at these dark hair and red eyes! It must be the child the Duke is looking for! “ A man with brown hair, looking like a weasel, pushed forward the child standing next to him, showing him proudly. He inflated his chest as if he was confident and did not forget to put on firm expression. “That’s right, black hair and red eyes. It definitely matches the kid I’m looking for.” The spacious parlor was splendidly adorned with expensive ornaments. It might have been decorated like this to intimidate the coming visitors and showcase the magnificence of the duke. In the living room, there was a man elegantly sitting cross-legged on a luxury leather sofa under a large chandelier. Duke Chester Halos, the current Duke of Halos, who inherited the title of Duke after Iorn Halos died. He was wearing a cravat around his neck. In the middle of cravat was a green emerald, like a lush forest, surrounded by a frame made of gold, all real, and is currently the most popular designer made jewelry. It was the one and only jewel of that kind in the world that was made to exist, which would cost a few months of labor for ordinary aristocrats. “It is the child the Duke is looking for! “ The man glanced at the jewel on the Duke’s cravat. The greedy eyes flashed wondering as to whether the precious stone worn by the noble figure is real. “I’m glad you came. “ “…Is that so?” Duke Chester glanced at the boy standing up, crouching. The sharp red eyes glanced past the child. Obviously, as written on the leaflet, he was a boy with dark hair, red eyes, and a small body. However, somehow, the grayish black hair and the red eyes as dim as the eyes of a dead fish to him look artificial. However, it is not yet possible to quickly decide. That kid might have been a real Raphelion. Chester has never seen his nephew. The leaflet with the image of a child was from what he always heard of through his brother’s words. The appearance of a child who is said that his brother’s eyes and hair were the same as him. “Where did you find the child?” After observing the kid, Chester stared at a man who couldn’t take his eyes off his jewelry. “Ah, yes! I found him at the western nursery and brought him. Three months ago, someone brought a child who wandered on the street and took care of him.” The man who was gazing at the jewelry gulped and replied quickly. He began to get excited by the attitude of the duke, who showed interest in the child, thinking that the Duke believed him, and he would take the child soon. The greedy man had the idea of running to the gambling board immediately when he received the 100 shillings, ignoring the threats he kept getting from his pursuers. The Duke, who was watching all this with his sharp eyes, gestured to Lohan, who was standing behind him. “Yes, Master?” “Are you going to let the Raphelion stand still?” At the words of the Duke, a man like a weasel smiled widely. It was obvious that the Duke believed me and accepted the child as Raphelion. Finally, I can get my hands on 100 million shillings! “Sorry, Master Raphelion, does your legs hurt already? Would you like to sit here?” Lohan pulled a little velvet sofa and said to the child. The child hesitated and grabbed the man’s pants, afraid of the unexpected favor and attention he was given. “Ah, father……..ouch!” “Raphelion must have been very nervous!” The man shouted, pinching the child’s arm in a hurry. If I had not cut off the child’s words, everything would have been in vain. No one should know that this kid is my son. It took 10,000 shillings to change the color of his hair and eyes by feeding his son an intermediate magic potion that he obtained while struggling with debt. The money was the living expenses of three families a month. “Lapel, there’s nothing to be nervous about, I’m your uncle.” Chester, catching the man pinching the child, made eye contact with the boy with a subtle smile as if he did not see it. “That… that……” The child staggered at the smile of a stranger and looked up at my father, Then the face of his father, who seemed to be angry at once, was formed in the blurry enemy. “Hahaha. I think the child became shy due to living in an unfamiliar place, and meeting a lot of strangers. ” The man glanced at the child with a threatening expression on his face. Go ahead to that sofa and sit down. “Yes…….” Eventually, the child took a small step from his father’s coercion. Walking the distance of more than a meter, and the child looked at his father countless times in fear. But the father only refused the child with a determined expression. The child sat on a chair with a face that seemed to burst into tears at any moment. “Lapel. It’s okay.” Chester patted the little boy on the shoulder. Lohan left the parlor for a while saying he will bring something to drink. “That, then the money……. ” The man glared at him and opened his speech to the Duke Chester. I wanted to get paid a little sooner and escape this place. When I bought the magic potion, I was told that I would never get caught unless I took the antidote, but I couldn’t help but worry about getting caught. “Oh, yes. I’ll give you a reward.” Tak. The noble flicked his finger and opened the door of the parlor and two big men came in carrying a big chest. Before long, Lohan also came into the parlor with a drink that children often like. “It would be better to be accurate, please confirm your award. “ The men put the chest they brought down in front of the man. A heavy sound rang in the parlor denoting how heavy the chest is. “Oh, no! The duke would never cheat, so I’ll just take it with me.” Even with the man’s dissuasion, the men opened the lid of the chest. Tens of thousands of gold coins were glittered.. “You must be thirsty Master. Please drink this. “ Lohan gave the glass he brought to the child. Chester stared at the boy as he sipped the drink immediately, enjoying the orange taste of the drink. “This, this is really 100 million shillings …….” The man touched the shilling inside the box with his trembling hand. Chester clicked his tongue and stood up, seeing the man distracted by the money. He strides greatly with his long legs and stops in front of the man at once. The face of Chester looked down at the man who smelled the money while drooling. “The child’s father is you. “ “Yes, yes it is. ……yes?!” The man responded thoughtlessly to the low voice and raised his head in surprise. “What do you mean, am I, oh, his father?” … This, no way. ” Lohan appeared in front of the man holding a child sitting on this couch. At that moment, the man’s eyes grew bigger and bigger. “Brown eyes and brown hair just like you. “ The child sipping a drink in Lohan’s arms was smiling at the delicious drink he had tasted for the first time in his life. The child’s dark hair and red eyes soon turned brown. “Spare me Duke!” I’m doomed. Everything was caught. The man quickly knelt in front of Duke Chester and lowered himself. Lohan walked out of the parlor with the child at Chester’s glance. “Did you think were the only one who used this shallow trick?” His eyes glaring so coldly looked at the man. “Please, please, have mercy on me……. “ As the man grasped Chester’s hem with his trembling hand, his knife-shaped pants were wrinkled in the man’s hand. At the moment, Chester’s eyebrows furrowed. He relentlessly kicked the man’s hand with his foot. “Take care of him. ” It was a cold order without a hint of mercy. Like a sharply forged blade, the light of his eyes was bloody as if passing through the man’s heart. At the instruction of the duke, the two large men grabbed the man’s arms and dragged him away. “Duke! Please! Please! Please save me! ” A screaming voice rang in the spacious living room, but there was no mercy. After the man was dragged out, Chester, who was left alone in the parlor, buried himself on the sofa again. He stretched out his long legs and put it on the table. He pressed the crinkle forming in the middle of his brows. (TN: Did you know it’s called glabella? Hehe. Anyway, this is originally translated by manhualyle in wattpad) “Bastards,” he said darkly, like a warning of a beast. It was already the eleventh time he had faced such a scam since he started looking for Raphelion. Iorn hid the woman he loved and Raphelion tightly. Because his father, the former duke, Louis Peter, tried to kill them. It was the logic that a woman from commoner origins will not be welcomed as a partner and duchess of his son, and a child who inherited that blood could not be the successor of the duke, so he had to cut it from the beginning. So, even Chester didn’t know Raphelion’s face. However, somehow, this fact leaked out. No one in the Dukedom has seen the boy in person, so nobody knows what he looks like. Since then, people who are blind to the rewards have come to the duke. Insisting that a child that was brought from a nursery school or an orphan wandering on the street, or his own child is Raphelion like today. Making use of a magic potion, changing hair and eyes together. “For money that he won’t even use for his own family and he’s selling his own son.” Predicting this situation, Chester fed the children with the antidote he had prepared, and soon the original hair and eye color returned. The scapegoats were always children in the fraudulent behavior of those blinded by greed, and these young children who did not know anything were forced by the hands of selfish adults. My head hurts so bad. Chester swept his head roughly and deeply sighed. When Chester responded to the incoming knock, Lohan stood in front of him. “Master.” “The child?” “Fortunately, his mother came crying looking for him, so I sent him back.” “Okay.” Chester rubbed his face and lowered his weary eyelids. Raphelion, who he was looking for day and night, was still in the dark. Even though I was looking everywhere like this, I couldn’t even know he is still alive or not. Chester became increasingly anxious. Please, you must be alive. “Get out. “ “Yes.” Read latest Chapters at W u xiaWorld.Site Only After Lohan went out, the reception room was swept in silence. Chester was exhausted. And he was disillusioned with those who tried to deceive him because of being crazy about money. If there is someone who tries to get money again and engages in such a scam, I will never let him go. 1 A red glow from the setting sun shone behind Chester, who has a reputation for being cold-blooded in the social world. Chapter 6 - wuxia “Hiccup ………. Hiccup.“ With his soft cheeks bulging, Lapel deeply inhales and swallows a cry. Werazel threw away the clothes he was wearing and changed them into comfortable pants and a shirt she used to wear. When she was giving him a bath, he cried so hard as if it was the end of the world and thought her ears were going deaf.2 “Lapel. I’m sorry. I had to wash you thoughly. “ “Scary! Water! No!” Lapel, who had become sulky, turned his little face, ignoring Werazel. His black hair bouncing gently. She felt reluctant to give strangers a bath without calling for the maids, but he was so scruffy that it took 10 minutes to rinse with water. And one hour had passed after I loosened my hair and washed his dirty body. After washing, the original appearance of the male lead was revealed brightly. Even at the age of only 5 years old, his face is already outstanding. Black hair like loose silk threads and intense red eyes in white skin are attractive. His face is still round but with high nose and fair white skin, the handsome face shined even more. ‘That is why he must be the main character. ‘ ‘I was looking forward to Lapel’s future. It was obvious how many women will secretly admire him. However, for Lapel, the male protagonist, there would be only one female protagonist. “I’m really sorry Lapel. I won’t do that anymore. “ As Werazel held the chubby cheeks of Lapel with both hands, that boy that was pouting quietly turned back. “Water… Bad. “ “Yes, Lapel hates water, I’m sorry, I won’t do it anymore.” Werazel’s friendly voice quickly relieved Lapel and he ran to her, asking to be held. Werazel raised the kids holding her leg. Lapel, who had just taken a bath, smelled like a baby. “Water….” Lapel mumbled, rubbing his face on his shoulder against the Werazel. Are you afraid of water because you are young? Or do you have any bad memories related to water? As she was patting his back, she asked carefully. “Lapel. Can I ask why the water is scary?” ” ….” “What are you doing? “ “Huck… “1 Lapel made a sound as if vividly portraying a drowning situation. “Have you ever fallen into the water? Have you ever been drowned?” Raphel struggled in the arms of Werazel. It was a stubborn refusal to broach on the topic. “I’m sorry, I won’t ask you anymore.” As the small, delicate body was trembling, Weregel couldn’t really ask anymore. That’s weird. Was there anything that could make you scared of water?1 Even though she tried to remember the details in the novel, I couldn’t recall it well. I’m worried that his wariness about water would not disappear quickly. Werazel, who was absorbed in thought of the child, bit her lips firmly. I shouldn’t be interested more than this. The Duke will take care of Lapel anyway. I just need to bring him to the duke who is looking for his nephew and come out with a reward. There, the relationship between her and Lapel would be over. So there was nothing good about getting too close. “Lady, I brought the soup.” “Come in. “ Werazel placed Lapel on the bed at the voice of the maid outside the door. Soon after, the person who opened the door walked in with a small table. It was a children’s table that Werazel used as a child. The affectionate parents said that the things their daughter used were memories and kept them. At the request of Werazel, the maid placed a bowl of warm soup on the tiny table from the warehouse “The temperature is right so you can feed it to him right away.” “Yes, thank you.” “Yes, if you need anything Lady, please call me.” Werazel took the spoon on the table and placed it on Lapel’s hand. “You can scoop it up, right? “ She has to give Lapel something in order to fill in the lacking nutrition he needs and give him the medicine the doctor had prescribed. The soup contained chopped carrots and broccoli. Since it has been cooked thoroughly, it has a soft texture so there would be no problem in digesting it. “…” Lapel looked at the soup in front of him and swallowed. When he saw something floating in orange color, he quietly put the spoon down. “Do you hate carrots?” Lapel crumpled his face and pushed the plate in front of him with his small hand as if he didn’t want to see the carrots, but the rumbling sound was ringing in his slim stomach.1 If you haven’t eaten properly, you must be starving, but still, you’re picky about food……. He glanced warrily at her, to see if she might be angry with him. However Werazel was still smiling, her face looked so sweet that Lapel was relieved. “If Raphelion ate this soup well and became healthy, he would be able to play around, don’t you think?” She didn’t get angry or scolded Lapel. She didn’t ask him to eat carrots. If she forced him to eat food he didn’t like to eat, it would become a bad memory for him and would continue to be picky in the future. Werazel is careful about whether her actions and words would leave a trauma to Lapel. “Then shall we eat only three times? “ ” Three….?” “Yes, just three times, can we Lapel?” Lapel clenched his fists and moved his small mouth. The answer came from not wanting to disappoint Lapel, and her hand stroked Lapel’s cheek because his young face was so cute. “Now…ah” “Ah….” The boy opened his small mouth and had a spoonful of the soup, his eyes closed tightly. After tasting it in his mouth several times, he swallowed it. “What do you think? There are two left, can you Lapel?” It’s not bad, Lapel nodded. After three spoons of soup, Werazel will be delighted and praise him. To hear it soon, Lapel opened his mouth again, and the baby bird asked for food from the mother bird. Werezel wanted to do it this time and took a spoonful of soup and fed it to him. Lapel was surprised that it had a larger amount than the first. Only one remained after eating this. I couldn’t give up now. She laughed at the way he was eating the soup with his cheeks bulging like a hamster. If she had a younger brother, would it feel like this? It seemed like she drank freshly made sweet cocoa, feeling soft and warm inside. “Last one.” After finishing the last bite, the soup bowl was more than half empty. She succeeded in feeding the soup as planned. “I’m really proud of you.” I have to give the medicine right away, the last door of the coffin, Werazel who praised Rapel generously, thought firmly. “Lapel, can you eat this too? “ She brought out the vial the doctor had given her and waved it in front of the lapel. Lapel stared at the pinkish liquid with mysterious eyes, but instinctively bit his lip. “Well, it’s very sweet and delicious.” Lapel was intrigued and tempted, but didn’t open his closed lips. She pulled out her last resort. The way her mother did for herself who didn’t eat well when she was young. “Here comes the plane. Whee~~. “ Werazel swished her hand holding the spoon. The spoon then floated in the air and flew smoothly in a curved line direction. “Plane?” Oops, there are no airplanes in this world. She realized the mistake too late, and hastily made an excuse. “It’s like flying in the sky with magic.” “Woah. Can you fly in the sky?” “… Yes. If you eat well, you can fly in the sky someday. “ Lapel sparkled his eyes and moved his head following her hand movements. The figure reminded her of the cat moving its head to catch the fishing rod, and Lizelle laughed inwardly. “Oh oh! The plane is landing. Lapel, ah! ” The spoon that went back and forth to the point where it was difficult for him to follow stopped in front of the mouth of Lapel. ” Ah!” Lapel who looked at the spoon opened his mouth without knowing it. Werazel did not miss this time and put the medicine in his mouth. “Well done! Lapel! “ Werazel smiled with satisfaction and poured out the praises Lapel wanted. “Hehehe.” Read latest Chapters at W u xiaWorld.Site Only Though he took medicine in a daze, Lapel had a fresh summer-like smile on his face. At this moment, Raphelion thought he wished this moment would last forever. The smile, the touch, and the praise of Werzel towards me were all good.+ And so the tragic afterimage of his parents beyond Lapel’s lost memory was forgotten. Chapter 7 - wuxia That night, Werazel put a blanket over Raphelion’s body on the bed. “Let’s not get too cold. Good night, Lapel. See you in the morning. If you feel sick or uncomfortable, you can pull this rope okay?” She tenderly touched the soft hair that fell on his forehead. “Oh, no, no!” Lapel held her hand as she was about to move away. His face looked very anxious as he was about to burst into tears. “Lapel?” Worried, Lizelle approached him. Before she knew it, clear snow water was forming around Lapel’s eyes. “Are you okay? Are you sick?” “D-don’t go…”1 The little hand wriggled and clasped tightly as if he didn’t want to miss the rhythm of Lizelle’s hand. His crying eyes looking up as if hoping for something. Werazel sat down next to Lapel, who lay alone in a spacious bed. “Shall we sleep together?” She smiled softly and wiped away the tears of the sad Lapel. I should have known. I was just trying to get out of the way just in case it would be easier for him to sleep when he’s alone, but it’s only natural for the child to be afraid of being alone after spending the night in the dumps for a long time. “Yes!” Lapel quickly smiled, erasing his melancholy expression. Then, afraid Werazel would leave again, he moved his body to the side quickly and made a space for her. The desperate appearance touched a piece of Lizelle’s heart. I tried to put this kid to sleep alone. Regretful of her own judgment, she quickly laid down next to Raphelion. “Hehehe” Lapel lay down right next to her, smiling from ear to ear. There are no more scary nights spent alone in the trash where I don’t feel any warmth. Every night I trembled with fear and spent all night with tears. Every night I close my eyes tightly and block my ears with my hands in fear that a monster would come swallow me up in the darkness calling for my mom and dad. From now on, Lapel smiled happily at the thought that someone warm could sleep with him, covered in a comfy bed. “I’ll be with you. So you can sleep with peace of mind Lapel. “ Werazel patted him, who turned around to face him. When he felt relieved that he was not alone, Lapel rubbed his eyes with his small fingers. ” It’s okay. I’m not going anywhere…… “
