  CHAPTER 007 "Did you talk today?" "I don't know. I told you no yesterday, how can you ask again after just one day?" Are they talking about me? I stopped at the entrance of the restaurant, not going in. "Do you know how embarrassed I was when you changed your mind yesterday? You said you wouldn’t ask for it, but then you did." "Does it matter? Can't your mother change her mind a bit?" "I don't know." My mother was truly upset. My father's soothing voice continued. "Still, treat her well. If we had known Levi was going to be born, we wouldn’t have adopted her, but that child became friends with the princess, didn’t she?" ...What did I just hear? "Soon, the benefits will come to us too. The princess will shower her with everything if we just stay put." I guess I didn't hear it wrong. My parents' conversation continued. "But not all of it will come to us, right?" "That's why ...

CHAPTER 006 Shortly after, my mother visited my room. If my father had been home, wouldn’t Levi have brought him along as well? "Oh my, what is all this?" Mother was genuinely shocked to see my golden magic wand. Considering we didn't have such a treasure in our mansion, it was understandable. With eyes wide open, she kept touching the wand. "Why didn't you tell us you received something so wonderful?" "Well..." "Were you worried we'd be interested in it?" That's pretty close... But I couldn't answer that way. I had to think of an excuse that wouldn't upset her. What should I say? While I kept silent, my mother squinted at me. "How could you be so unfair? Did you hide it because you thought we'd want it?" "That's not it. I just wanted to keep one thing a secret-" "Secrets among family?" Oh no. My mother was getting more agitated. "If it weren’t for Levi, I wouldn't have known ...

CHAPTER 005 "Here’s a gift." When I went to the Duke’s mansion, Lewis gave me a gift. "What is this?" As soon as I opened the box, my jaw dropped. A magic wand carved out of gold! How much was this? I didn't know for sure, but it looked incredibly expensive with its dazzling shine. It was entirely made of gold, with a large diamond embedded in the center. "You said you’d help me, right? Consider this a token of gratitude." Who knew Lewis was capable of such thoughtfulness! Receiving a reward seemed to have slightly eased my fear of Lewis by about 1%. "Oh my, Lewis gave you something very special!" Even Duke Croft, who was with us, was impressed by the gift. With Michael congratulating me and Bella looking inexplicably strange, Lewis seemed quite proud of himself. "Isn't it an honor? Keep it as a family heirloom." Ah, yes. After holding hands with Lewis briefly and enjoying tea time with Bella, it was time to go home. On my way o...

CHAPTER 004 Since that creepy welcome party, I hadn't met Lewis again. Fortunately. I never want to meet a man who treats me like a test subject. So far, things have been similar to the original story. Lewis returned to the magic tower and took on the scheduled position of Tower Lord, and he received a new title, Marquis of Bloomberg. "He must be really busy right now." Bella easily guessed Lewis's situation. Of course, he'd be busy after taking half a year off. I asked cautiously. "If he went on a half-year-long trip, it'll take quite some time to adjust, right?" "Definitely. He left saying he wanted to play to his heart's content before becoming Tower Lord, so he must be having a hard time now." "Oh, poor thing..." Stay busy. At this moment, I became a person with different outward and inward thoughts. Forget being the second male lead; I just hope Lewis is swamped with work and forgets about me completely! But why did the T...
