NOVEL NEXT I Ran Away And The Reverse Harem Started
Daniel covered his eyes with his forearms and sighed.“Okay. I’ll be there soon, so go down.”“Yes, yes. It has to be like that.”Lucas, who had been bothering him by coming to the bedside, smiled in satisfaction.Daniel also frowned and looked at Lucas without trying to get up.“Wait a minute, you.”“Yes?”“…….”Daniel sniffed and then tilted his head.“No. it’s okay, you can go first.”“Huh? Okay. You have to come soon.”“Yes.”Lucas left, and Daniel narrowed his eyes in the dark room.A familiar scent remained at the tip of his nose, but perhaps because it was so fleeting, it passed in an instant.Daniel sat on the edge of the bed with messy hair.As I lifted my tired eyes up, I saw that the sun had set and the pale moon was floating outside.Has time already passed like this?I had been in the room ever since Rosieta left, a lot of time must have passed.“Rosieta….”Daniel said the name that suddenly occurred to him.In the past, he’d always called her Rose, finding the four-syllable name annoying, but now her name rolled around in his mouth awkwardly.But regardless of the past, he still didn’t want to call her by her nickname today.What’s so good about calling her by her nickname with a smile on his face if she’s going to run away and abandon him anytime soon?If that’s the case, why did you bring her here at all, he thought to himself, though it was ridiculous.He laughed and turned his gaze to the other side of the room.For a moment, I remembered her face when she asked what would be left for me if she attended the party.And then, Daniel gave the dumbest answer he could ever remember.“What’s left for me?”“…….”“I will have at least some of memories to keep to myself. After you leave, I need something left.” A brief memory of dressing up nicely and walking hand in hand under colorful lights with the girl I like.Fun, short memories of dancing together, drinking hard liquor, and returning home late at night.It was such a fun time that I couldn’t even dream of in the 10 years since we parted.Although Daniel answered impulsively, he realized too late that all he had wanted for 10 years was that small amount of happiness.Daniel sighed softly.When I said that, what kind of expression did she make?Daniel shook his head again.I was afraid to recall what kind of expression she made. * * * “Ugh.”The next morning.A time when the bright afternoon sunlight falls gently on your skin.I was staring mercilessly at the leaves that kept falling no matter how many times I swept them.“After cleaning the stairs, now we are cleaning the garden!”That’s what a maid’s job is supposed to be, and it’s part of the job to figure out how to make the daily assignments of menial labor enjoyable.“Well. I don’t do it because it’s fun, I do it because they pay me.”At least the weather is sunny.As I swept the leaves from the garden, I looked up and saw the sky.Contrary to my gloomy mood, the sky was warm and clear, as if I could go on a picnic.Actually, there is no particular reason why I feel depressed. It’s all because of Daniel.Yesterday, I returned to my dorm after receiving a contract from a strangely angry Daniel.A contract that stipulates that 300,000 bills, or 10% of the debt I owe, will be deducted in return for attending a party held at the royal palace as a partner instead of Deborah.300,000 billings was close to my salary for a year.If I sign that contract, my debt will drastically decrease from 3 million to 2.7 million.‘Of course, my goal is to pay off my debt quickly and get away from Daniel and the others.’
Anyway, I suddenly have to attend an event held at the royal palace?I couldn’t give a definite answer on the spot.This is because I had no idea how much my actions would affect the original novel.Of course, before Daniel and Deborah’s arranged marriage, there was no chapter like this event…‘It’s a chapter that never appeared in the original, so wouldn’t it be okay…? If I get paid, it would be the best.’Honestly, I wanted to pay off my debt as quickly as possible.As I was sweeping the garden with a deep sigh, Angela walked quickly towards me from afar.“Rosieta, you are here!”“What’s going on?”I asked formally.Angela has been acting friendly towards me ever since I accepted her apology.‘I think she’s doing it more because she felt guilty. It’s uncomfortable.’Angela must have sensed that I was drawing a line, but she took a breath and spoke with a puzzled expression on her face.“Well, that’s because the head maid ordered you to run an errand. I hear you have something urgent to do other than cleaning the garden?”“Head maid?”“The Count entrusted a luxury watch to a watch repairman in the square, and today is the day to visit.”“Ah yes.”“Well, if you say it’s too much trouble to go out, I thought I’d go out for you… It’s a hassle for the maids to have to go back and forth between the mansion and the square!”I stared at Angela with wide eyes.She really did seem like the kind of person who would want to do the heavy lifting for me.But…“No, no, can you do me a favor besides that?”“Huh? What favor?”I asked innocently and handed Angela the broom I was holding.“Please clean up here for me. I will go to the square.”You can’t miss this great opportunity. * * * I left the garden cleaning to Angela and changed into my going-out clothes.‘It was already a bit complicated. I should go outside and get some fresh air.’I stayed at the count’s residence for over a week and worked as a maid, and going out was not a hassle for me, but something I was very grateful for.Moreover, Deborah came to the Count’s residence and had to return by the weekend.I didn’t miss the opportunity and carefully packed a letter to send to Lynne’s.After changing clothes at the lodgings and going to the entrance of the Count’s residence, I saw a small carriage used by maids waiting.“Hello.”“I haven’t seen you before, have I?”“Yes, it’s been a week.”I smiled brightly at the coachman, greeted him, and got into the carriage.It wasn’t the luxurious carriage I rode in when I came to the count’s residence, but it was reasonably comfortable.‘Huh? What is this?’When I sat down on the carriage seat and looked across, I saw what looked like a large piece of luggage.A luggage wrapped in a huge cloth.‘Someone brought this on an errand,’ I thought.Then it’s better not to touch it, right?As I was looking at the luggage, I heard the sound of horses moving outside and felt the carriage slowly start.The carriage quickly left the Count’s residence.I heard that the nearby square is the largest square in the county.There is also news that after Daniel was granted the Earldom, a large number of stores operated by Holden opened in the square, making it a shopping center.Well, I don’t have any money, so I’ll just go and look around, but where can I go?I was staring out the window in anticipation.Rustle, rustle, rustle.“Huh?”I was startled by a strange noise coming from inside the carriage and turned my head.Could it be that there were bugs or rats riding along?As someone who hates bugs more than ghosts, I felt goosebumps rising on the back of my head.What I heard was a large bag covered with a blanket that was placed on the seat across from me.‘Could it be that it was something alive?’A pet or something? Or something, a bird…?I was clinging to the seat back in horror.“Puh-ha.”Huh?!I stared straight ahead in disbelief.It was Lucas, who had taken off his blanket and stumbled out.“Lucas?!”“Hello, Rosie.”Lucas laughed, shaking his messy blonde hair with his hands.“No… Why are you out there?”I asked in disbelief, as if I’d seen a ghost, and Lucas smirked.“Oh, I heard Rosie going outside, so I followed her.”“What?!”
Chapter 18
Chapter 18 I was genuinely curious about what Daniel would gain by having me as his partner.I knew he wasn’t doing it just to spite me.Daniel studied me for a moment with dark eyes, then looked away.Was it because he didn’t want to see my face, or because he couldn’t make eye contact?“Well, if what you say is true, I will soon become the husband of a saint under the king’s arrangement, and you will return to the village once the inn is built.”“…….”“What is left for me?”Daniel’s pitch black eyes turned to me.His pupils stared at me intently. As if he was taking in every inch of me.
Daniel covered his eyes with his forearms and sighed.“Okay. I’ll be there soon, so go down.”“Yes, yes. It has to be like that.”Lucas, who had been bothering him by coming to the bedside, smiled in satisfaction.Daniel also frowned and looked at Lucas without trying to get up.“Wait a minute, you.”“Yes?”“…….”Daniel sniffed and then tilted his head.“No. it’s okay, you can go first.”“Huh?
