The Male Lead Is In Charge Of The Successor

The old man crumpled his brows at Eisel’s attitude. The old man’s forehead was stretched and narrowed repeatedly, and then he muttered,

 “I have to finish it by today,” he said, turning his body.

“Yes, what’s going on today? What else do you want me to lend you?”

“It’s not a book today.”

“Then? Are you looking for a friend to play house with?”

Having a friend to play house would make a boring afternoon more enjoyable. But that’s not true. I have more questions than that.”

“What’s that about?”

As the old man remained indifferent, Eisel pointed to the newspaper. To be exact, it was the newspaper name that read “Rock.” The old man muttered, “What’s wrong with that?” and scratched his beard.

“By chance, is that the only big newspaper company publishing in the capital?”

There are three newspapers in the capital that print morning papers every day. However, this is the only newspaper company that publishes evening papers. But why is that?”

“Then, are there any newspapers that have recently started printing morning papers?”

“If you look for something, you’ll find it…”

The old man, who was rubbing his chin and calmly answering Eisel’s question, wrinkled his forehead.

‘No, why am I answering this seriously?’

An eight-year-old wouldn’t even understand the word.

“But why are you asking this?”

“I’m just curious. I was wondering if there was a newspaper called Knox that opened recently.”

“Nox? Let me see…… Come to think of it, that’s the newspaper that started printing the morning paper you asked about a while ago. How did you know that?”

“Really?”

“Yes, indeed. Why? Did your father find a job there? Or maybe you can look around and find a job?”

The old man laughed and joked about the pure delight of Eisel. Instead of answering, Eisel shook her head bowed her head, and turned away.

The old man, who chased Eisel from the bookstore in an instant, laughed and scratched his shaggy head. Again, it was an old man who folded newspapers.

The newspaper that first announced the end of the world. It was Knox Newspaper that printed the news even though the nobles, who were preparing to hide their secrets and run away, suppressed the information. Knox printed the newspaper, causing significant confusion in the capital, and a rebellion broke out in the process.

“There was really a Knox.”

Eisel asked the question, who was half-confident because she couldn’t remember her name, but her memory was not wrong. That gave Eisel more confidence.

“That’s really what it’s about.”

A slight flushed face hardened slowly, as he sighed. He was pulled by an angel, who opened his fist tightly.

“But should I like Knox’s presence or should I be sad?”

‘On the bright side, I could see the future ahead. I didn’t know what would happen tomorrow in detail, but I could see big things.’

This was a green light for Eisel to escape this situation.

However, the world was on the verge of collapsing anyway. Like it or not, the world was destroyed and she could also die. In other words, she was sentenced to death.

What’s more, the more significant thing was that she couldn’t identify the main characters’ names well, unlike knowing the contents. How do you remember the main character’s name in a novel you read years ago? Even when she tried to remember, she was just confused whether was his name or hers.

 Besides, the main characters are probably still young. Eisel bit her lip and pondered for a moment before shaking her head. It was not the time to worry about this. Eisel got up and headed for the house. It was time for him to use what he had learned so far.

·        

 A friendly dinner time. The warm bread and thick soup she had been looking for were set on the table. Lily, who cut the bread with her small knife and served it on her plate, gave Eisel a kiss and walked back to her seat.

 “Now, eat.”

 Beoric, who had prepared a warm meal for the first time in a while, smiled at Eisel with a satisfied face. Eisel also smiled at that smile, sipped the bread, and rolled her eyes.

 How to say… … ?

 Would you believe it if an 8-year-old told you that you have to do this, that and something happens later, so you have to start this business? Haha, she have no jaw to believe. Eisel thought that even if she was in Beoric’s position, it would spill over his ears.

 So, all that’s left is to give you some hints. Eisel rolled her eyes and ate her meal, but her volume did not decrease.

Beoric leaned forward to make eye contact with Lily, curious about Eisel’s uncharacteristically sullen mood today.

“Eisel.”

“It’s …….?”

Eisel replied a beat too slow, and Beoric’s brow furrowed. Something bad had happened, he wondered, putting down his fork and asking a serious question.

“Did something happen to you?”

“Oh, no. Nothing!”

“Well, why aren’t you eating? Doesn’t it taste good?”

“No, it’s delicious. Look at this.”

Aisel gobbled up the bread and scooped up the soup, but her eyes never left his.

“Eisel, are you having any problems with your lessons?…”

Boom!

Beoric had just thrown out a heavy topic. In the middle of the night, someone tried to open the door.

“Who is it?”

“A guest at this hour.”

Unlike Lily, who was surprised, Beoric frowned in displeasure. He didn’t like visitors at this late hour. What’s more, he knocked on the door with such force that he thought he might break it. Maybe the door knocker was made of foam. Beoric picked up the lantern on the wall.

“I’ll go.”

On the way, he picked up a poker, just in case.

Thump thump!!

 When I stepped on the first floor stairs, the door screamed fiercely.

 What a rude man.

 Beoric stood in front of the door and opened it slowly after swallowing a small sigh.

“Who are you?”

 As he was not a welcome guest, Beoric’s voice was sharp. Beoric raised his lantern and illuminated the darkness.

‘A knight?’

 Although he wore his robe inside out, knights could see his sword bulging out.

 What is the knight doing here at this hour?

 As Beoric frowned, the knight in the lead moved closer.

 “Eisel Letania Aspencer’s father, are you Beoric Aspencer?”

“… I am Beoric, but who are you?”

 “You have someone to meet tomorrow.”

 After speaking briefly, the knight handed out a letter. At the Basquiella crest clearly stamped on the envelope, Beoric frowned.

 “Who sent you?”

 “You value appointments on time, so don’t be late.”

 “Why are you looking for me, or Eisel… … .”

 “We will send someone when we arrive, so if you wait… … .”

 “Hey!”

Beoric finally shouted at the knight, who ignored his questions and stuck to his guns. But the knight didn’t respond to Véoric’s shout. They stared at him like dry straw with dry eyes.

“What was I supposed to do? Just show up unannounced and tell them what I want to hear? If someone asked to see me, shouldn’t they tell me who sent you and why? Is that the attitude of a Basquiella knight?”

At Beoric’s pointed, troubling words the knight in the lead closed his mouth. He glared at Beoric from the darkness shadows, then removed his robes.

“You are…….”

“Baron Bramber, direct bodyguard to His Excellency Duke Bahidman Basquiella.”

The unexpected figure left Beoric speechless. Bramber saluted and pointed to the letter.

“Your Excellency wishes to meet Miss Eisel Letania. It may be difficult for your daughter who is still so young. Which is why I asked you to come along with me, Viscount.”

“Your Excellency…… you mean His Excellency the Duke of Basquiella? Why does he suddenly want to see my daughter?…….”

“You’ll find out when you come tomorrow. Just bring the letter and show up and there will be someone to show you around, so don’t be late. And…….”

Brambert’s words slurred, and he glanced around the dark mansion, then pulled his lips. Shaking his short hair, Brambert pulled on the robe he had left off.

“It’s nothing. Well, excuse me. Good night.”

 With those words, Brambert led his knights and disappeared. Beoric stared intently at the letter in his hand before turning away.

 “What happened? Who made you scream like that?”

 Lily spoke cautiously to Beoric who had returned. However, rather than answering, Beoric walked straight to Eisel.

 Why are you looking so scary?

 Eisel, who was drinking water, stared at Beoric, who approached with a stiff face.

 “Is it because of this, Eisel?”

 “This one?”

 Beoric quietly listened to Eisel’s letter. Eisel’s eyes narrowed at the Basquiella family seal letter.

 What is that?

 “What happened there?”

 “I’m fine… … .”

 “Tell me the truth. What happened there? Huh? Eisel.”

 Although Beoric lost all of his money, honor, and power, he protected his precious family. Beoric, eager to protect his precious child more than anything else, grabbed Eisel’s shoulder as he crumpled his letter.

 “Duke Vahidman Basquiela said he wanted to see you.”

The Duke of Basquiella? Eisel was about to reply, “Why me?” when she remembered Raven with a double nosebleed and closed her mouth.

‘Did that idiot call his grandfather, and that’s why he wanted to see me?’

She couldn’t believe the Duke of Basquiella would be moved by a child’s fight. Eisel sighed and looked at Beoric, who stared at her. Seeing the concern in his eyes, she lowered her eyes in frustration and explained.

“Actually…….”

Eisel gritted her teeth, realising that she probably wouldn’t get along with him.
