Involuntarily, April took a step back and bumped into Asher. Still, she opened her eyes straight.
I asked what was going on.
Can I take a look at the child for a minute?
Shouldnt you reveal your identity before that? That
At that moment, she spat out the word that and swallowed her saliva. Fortunately, the man didnt overreact because of it.
How can I believe you? Child abductions are common these days.
Ha?
The man burst into laughter.
Kidnapping? Do I look like a kidnapper?
You wouldnt know that!
It was an impulsive act to mention the kidnapper, but it seemed plausible after she said it. Besides, there was nothing she could do if those men rushed all at once and took Asher!
Si-sister.
As Asher gripped the hem of Aprils skirt with a terrified face, the unknown man raised his eyebrows and murmured softly.
He looks like him
Who resembles who?
Before she had time to ask again, the man opened his mouth, straightening his huge body.
Excuse me. Youre right, let me introduce myself.
Then, he smiled slowly.
My name is Claude Winterville.
As soon as April heard the name, she took a sharp breath.
Claude Winterville? Is he really the Duke of Winterville?
He was one of the only dukes in the Empire Nonetheless, it wasnt just that that surprised her like this. It was because
Hes the male lead in the original story!
He was also the male protagonist who mercilessly killed her in the original story.
I even came to this countryside to avoid that man!
April remembered the first time she came here, three months ago.
: * * :
Three months ago, Yoon Min-ah, a college student who worked hard day by day, died. She was so sick that she couldnt even go to school or work part-time at a cafe, and her last memory was that she passed out.
And when she opened her eyes again, she was April Renoen, the villain of the romance fantasy novel she had recently read, Irene in White.
Why April?
Although she was said to be a villainess, in fact, it could say that April was more of a victim than a villainess. Originally, she was an orphan. Living in her orphanage, she was adopted by the Count of Renoen when she was eight years old. Count Renoen wanted to show off his philanthropy to others.
Who would be nice to the adopted daughter in her way of showing off? Of course, Count Renoen and his wife completely neglected April.
Because of that, she lived like a maid.
Her life changed with the arrival of the original villain, Zenon Olsen. Being a wizard, he approached her after learning that April had magical talents.
April had a great talent for white magic.
Among the wizards, there were those who specialized in unique healing abilities. People specially called them white wizards. The ability of this white wizard was similar to that of those with divine power. So, unlike other wizards who could only treat trauma, curses and insanity could also be cured.
Zenon Olsen was a descendant of the Duke of Winterville and a cousin of the main character, Claude Winterville. From an early age, he felt inferior to his immediate siblings, Leonard and Claude.
You were lucky enough to be born as a direct descendant, but youre boasting that youre the heir to the Duke?!
While working under Claude, he eventually decided to kill Claude and ascend to the Dukes throne himself And at that time, it was April who was used as his chess piece.
That was what Zenon had planned.
He tried to cure Claudes chronic insomnia by using April.
To be precise, it was to get rid of the magic accumulated in his body.
With that thought in mind, he taught her healing magic and sent her to Claude. In fact, April indeed cured his insomnia and slowly gained his trust. After that time, when she thought that Claudes heart had completely opened, Zenon Olsen ordered her to assassinate him.
However, the opponent was Claude Winterville.
The plan was discovered beforehand, and April died at his hands. What was even more upsetting here was that Zenon blamed April for her solo act and shoved her on the receiving end.
Not knowing that she was taken advantage of, April had a sweet dream when Zenon Olsen proposed to her. She thought he was the prince who would save her from her terrible family, when she didnt even realize that it was a rotten rope she had taken.
Im going to die at this rate.
Yoon Min-ah was frustrated as she recalled the future of April, whom she possessed.
Fortunately for her, the engagement has only been going on for a month now. And since they werent officially engaged, only a handful of people knew about their engagement. Besides, Zenon had yet to bring out his magic skills to impress April.
So, to avoid an unhappy future, April broke off the engagement to Zenon Olsen.
Lets break off the engagement.
