I’m the Sub Male Lead in Romance Fantasy, but I Don’t Like the Female Lead

chapter 39



39 – Cordelia isn’t a big deal – 1

The weekend’s library date ended very successfully. Although there were trivial things, such as when I touched Hestia’s hand all afternoon without letting go of it, and she grumbled that her hand would be sore, or she nodded for a moment from hunger and leaned on her shoulder. It was a date that both she and I were very satisfied with.

On Sunday, I went to the training center and did some self-training, as well as some preparation and review. Even when I was in my senior year of high school, I didn’t study and rested on the weekends, but to come to this world and study. This is why the surrounding environment is important for studying. Wouldn’t I have been able to go to Seoul National University if I had a girlfriend who was the first in the whole school when I was in high school?

And on Monday after the weekend, I was a bit stretched out, but maybe it was because I had a fulfilling weekend, so it wasn’t that hard.

The first class is a basic swordsmanship class with Cordelia. I decided to start the operation to make friends with Cordelia that I had been putting off. Isn’t it a pity that she, who turns her eyes to the female knight in the novel and only brings up the story of her knight, can’t even talk to the people who will be here in front of her eyes.

I gulped at Cordelia as I looked at her. Cordelia also looked into my eyes. Maybe she was very nervous about my promise to make her a friend, but her lips are dry.

“Lady Deneb, are you ready?”

I asked Cordelia, whose nervousness was evident. She took a very serious and solemn attitude, as if she were on the battlefield.

“Sure, I’m ready.”

“What are you so nervous about?”

I was dumbfounded. Anyone who sees you will know that you are going to find a place to die.

“Please relax. Nothing will work out if you stay so stiff.”

“But this is the first time.”

“Don’t say things that others will misunderstand. Isn’t the object of making friends missing?”

Cordelia’s meaningful words caught the attention of the people around her. I hastily picked up her words. Please make sure you specify the subject, object, and predicate when speaking.

“And making friends in the first place isn’t such a big deal.”

“Because it’s a big deal?”

At my words, she opened her ax eye and fought back. She spoke at length about the difficulties of making friends with her. It’s hard to talk to people you don’t know, it’s hard to communicate well if you don’t have interests in each other. For a while she wheezed her breath as she recounted why she had no friends of hers.

“Did you understand now?”

What on earth is such a proud attitude? At best, it would be to talk to students in the same class, but it wouldn’t be something that should be hardened like that. I even do the first talking. I decided to stay by her side and support her until she blended into her group. All she has to do is take the lead and enjoy the table I feed her.

“I think I know why Lady Deneb’s friend is Hestia. How did you become friends with Hestia?”

I don’t know why he hides his face so badly from people he doesn’t know, even though he’s not the kind of person who’s the kindest person, seeing how he usually treats Hestia and me without hesitation. Cordelia, who heard me, touched her chin, and she was troubled.

“Well, that was about 10 years ago. I can’t quite remember how I became friends with Hestia either. We just became friends at some point.”

“That’s it.”

I slap my palm. Okay. How many people in the world say, “We are friends starting today,” And eat friends. The absolute majority of friendships are just friends after playing together.

“What are you talking about?”

“Where in the world are there people who say, ‘Let’s be friends from today’ and become friends? We just talked to each other and played together, so at some point we became friends. So there is no need to feel pressured to make friends today.”

After hearing my explanation, Cordelia’s eyes twinkled. She looks very impressed with my explanation. She nodded in admiration as she shook her head.

“Oh! When I heard it, I thought it was right. Mikhail, it’s not that you really can’t make friends, it’s that you don’t!”

I flinched at the sudden attack. It’s not that I lack magnesium, it’s because I want to hit Cordelia.

“Please keep that mouth still. Since it’s me and Hestia, I’ll just accept it quietly. If I say that to someone I’m seeing for the first time, I’ll fall in love with Lady Deneb in an instant.”

To put it in a good way, he has no faults, and in a bad way, he has no thoughts. That’s right, if I had been saying all the things I could think of on a regular basis, there was no way I could survive the scuffle between the noble ladies with all kinds of slander. Ordinary girls on Earth also fight behind the scenes when three or more gather, but what more can I say about the aristocratic ladies of romance fantasy?

“I don’t say things like this except in front of you and Hestia, right?”

“Well, don’t you talk unless it’s in front of me and Hestia?”

It is not persuasive to claim that you do not say this when you do not speak in the first place. At my point, Cordelia screamed in denial.

“No! Are you talking to Lily now?”

“With Lady Adamas?”

Come to think of it, I didn’t care at all about what happened after the last time the two of us talked on Friday. I asked Cordelia lightly.

“Did you two reconcile well?”

“Well, of course!”

Cordelia stuck out her breasts, and she asserted herself confidently.

“When we talked about it, he also had a lot of circumstances. To be honest, I am rather grateful for taking that bastard away. I want to throw it away, but I can’t, so it feels like someone took away something that was difficult to dispose of. I was embarrassed and a bit angry because I took what I was holding right away, but when I thought about it, I realized that I hadn’t lost anything.”

Should we call this Daehyeop or just Hogu? No matter how much he didn’t like the person, it’s amazing that he could forgive her fiancé so easily, even provoking her fiancé in the ear. Moreover, the treatment of a young lady who had been broken off once could not be as good as before.

“I don’t think it’s that simple. Well, I guess it doesn’t matter if you think so.”

“What is it, are you worrying about my marriage?”

“I am not particularly worried.”

Cordelia smirked. I hated seeing that and turned her head away. She followed my face and smiled again. It’s going to be a honey night

“Never mind. Anyway, if it was me, there were many men who would bow down and take them. There’s nothing wrong with breaking up the engagement.”

Cordelia said as if nothing really mattered. Come to think of it, it was the female protagonist who was divorced or the female protagonist who broke off the marriage that was prevalent in romance fantasy. It might not be a real problem.

“Because I didn’t care in the first place.”

“Okay, okay.”

She still smirked angrily. It’s like she’s not being honest. Do you really want to hit one? I filmed and suppressed the violent desire that boiled over.

“Is that why you decided to reconcile with Lady Adamas and become friends?”

“Right. We met yesterday, ate lunch, and went to a cafe.”

Cordelia boasted as if she had done a great job. She does a great job in that it’s something a criminal won’t do easily. It’s really good to have a good time. No matter how much she reconciles with her, there will still be sediment, hahahaha, hoho, can we eat and drink tea right away?

“Did you like Lady Adamas too?”

“Then of course.”

I’ll have to ask Seol-ah later and listen to her thoughts. I guess she must have been uncomfortable, frankly.

I gave her a sneak peek as she was still raising her nose.

“Then, it must be very easy for Lady Deneb, who has other friends besides Hestia and me, to make new friends.”

“Yes. That much for me… , Huh?”

She boasted that she had made her new friend, with her nose raised, and was suddenly taken by my surprise. Now there is not much time left to take a break, so we need to get it done quickly. I left her bewildered and set her target.

“Good. I will go ahead and talk to you, so please follow me.”

“Wait a minute! My heart is still ready….”

Cordelia grabbed my arm and dragged it along, but she had no strength of her own. I approached the female students who were chatting in groups of two and three with Cordelia hanging from one hand.

“Kuhm. Hello.”

I cleared my throat a few times and then spoke in the softest way possible.

They stopped talking and turned their heads toward me at the same time. It’s very burdensome to have multiple eyes on you at the same time. A female student who seemed to be the representative of the meeting stepped forward.

“What are you doing?”

In her tone, if not even hostility, I could feel her wariness toward me. What did i do I was unhappy.

“What are you doing, come out.”

I whispered to Cordelia, who hid behind my back and poked her head out. She still couldn’t come to her senses, her heart was ready, she said something, so I just gave her strength and dragged her to my side. It’s not like she’s playing some kind of game, and if you want to get close to her, you don’t have to show her face.

“I want to build friendships with them.”

Cordelia still kept her mouth shut beside me, not saying anything. She doesn’t know where the hell the woman who was smirking as her faces shoved earlier went. The women heard me and naturally moved their gaze to Cordelia, as if asking what the person next to you was.

“Tell me you want to be friends.”

I poked Cordelia’s side once more as she lingered beside her. Cordelia stuttered at my urging and opened her mouth.

“With everyone… , that, I want to be her friend.”

I covered my face with my hands and sighed. No, just a moment ago, after hearing the explanation that being friends is something that comes naturally after playing together, what should I do if he suddenly hits me? The preliminary study of the concept of a friend conducted just a few minutes ago was all in vain. Even if it’s like me, a boy who never mixes a word with me suddenly approaches one day and the first thing I said is, “I want to be your friend.”

They took turns scanning Cordelia’s face and me, and then they got together and started a discussion with each other. Open up, open up I began to seriously consider whether I should go back and comfort her Cordelia or give her sharp feedback. After all, it’s better to give comfort right now….

“Okay. Lady Cordelia von Deneb, right? I thought he was deliberately keeping his distance from us because he was alone all the time. I didn’t know, but you have a very cute corner. If you want to be friends, be friends.”

“Really?”

She must have felt the strangeness of her after she said it herself. She, who was almost half dead, suddenly regained her vitality.

“Actually, we’ve been waiting for Lady Deneb….”

“Call me Cordelia!”

“I thought Cordelia was avoiding us.”

One of the other girls in the group came out and started talking. She thought that Cordelia was a cold, aloof, overbearing person who, according to her, kept her mouth shut throughout her class except when she was talking to me normally. .

“But looking at you just now, it doesn’t seem like that. Actually, we also wanted to have a conversation with Miss Cordelia.”

Cordelia was on the verge of shedding tears of emotion at those words. I was dumbfounded. Does this work? I suddenly remembered what Seria had said a few days ago.

‘Women like pretty women too.’

Seeing that no one approaches me favorably just because I am handsome, I don’t think men like handsome men. In any case, it’s all about appearance supremacy.

Because Cordelia is a beauty no matter who sees it. The person she thought was taciturn and overbearing suddenly approached her and blushed and stuttered.

I tried to fall back quietly, leaving the girls who were excitedly chattering away.

“Where are you going, Grand Duke Mikhail? You obviously said you wanted to be friends with us, right? We also have a lot of questions about the Grand Duke.”

I suddenly felt several hands grabbing me. I tried to shake it off, but to no avail. I could have tried one or two, but there was nothing special about three. Their strong forearms caught my eye. It’s definitely because they aspire to be knights, so they’re all strong. The barriers of gender have been overcome long ago. What kind of women are so strong?

“Uh, I guess my role ends here.”

Despite my euphemistic refusal, their hands became even more violent. The sound of them debating what to ask of me came into my ears as they held me.

“First of all, let’s ask about your relationship with the rumored fiancé.”

“No, the love triangle between Miss Lily and Her Highness the Crown Prince….”

“There are rumors that the reason the Crown Prince took a leave of absence was because he was dumped by the Grand Duke?”

Ah, I just want to lose my mind.
