The Obsessive Male Lead Made Me The Female Lead

“As expected, you tried to do something to me during tea time earlier. That’s not good either.”

“That, that’s…!”

“Looks like you’ve tried it a few times before. Why, did you think it would work in close contact?”

“…….”

Alois closed her mouth like a mute who had eaten honey, as if she had been read.

TL/N: Mute who has eaten honey : I would type it but i think this link explains it better LOL

Her red eyes shook and she couldn’t hide her embarrassment.

The fact that Alois tried to use magic on me means that Seirin’s target was me.

‘Did she try to kill me? By hiding with the magician’s magic?’

There were countless unknown curses in the magician’s magic.

Because there were no traces left, it was easy to disguise it as a sudden or natural death.

Therefore, in ancient times, it was common to use magicians to kill enemies.

Of course, since the materials required to cast are so rare, it wasn’t that we could do everything we wanted.

‘But what should I do? Alois’ magic doesn’t work on me.’

I smiled lightly and recalled my conversation with Alois Beth in my previous life.

‘Rosé, you’re so weird. How can my magic not get caught at all?’

‘I guess I have a unique constitution.’

‘I’m in trouble because there’s no way to check if Esol is special or if you’re special.’

Alois Beth said that magic doesn’t work for me in my previous life.

And I guessed that it wasn’t because of Esol, but because I was a ‘traveler’.

Spells are magic cast on the soul and body.

My soul was not the soul here, and this body was not originally mine, so I thought it would not work.

Now, Alois retreated to the corner and took on a vigilant light now that she was afraid of me because she couldn’t use magic on me.

“What are you going to do with me now? I tried to kill you, so you’re gonna kill me?”

“You tried to kill me. As expected.”

As I said with a relaxed smile, her face turned blue.

Because it was like confessing the crime with her own mouth.

“Well, I mean. This is… .”

“Don’t worry. I don’t think you did it because you wanted it anyway.”

“…….”

“What did the princess promise you? Is it the restoration of the honor of the magician clan?”

Alois pursed her lips at my question.

She hated the imperial family very much.

But I couldn’t believe she was under Seirin.

It was impossible for her to visit the royal family on her own when Lavita had not yet fallen.

‘She must have been threatened or persuaded that the magicians would be recognized by the Empire.’

Alois had always been upset by the social belief that magicians were merely witches.

So, in her previous life, she participated in the subjugation for the purpose of revenge for Lavita and restoration of the magicians’ honor.

Of course, this was an overt purpose.

Because what she really wanted was something else.

The only one who knew this would be me, who was with her until she died.

I said calmly.

“Alois, the imperial family does not change. You will not fulfill your purpose for killing me.”

“Do you think I’m a fool? I won’t be betrayed. Because the Princess and I have made an irresistible ‘oath’.”

It’s the same as before.

When Seirin was the heroine, she had taken an oath under Alois’s terms without the emperor knowing.

The emperor was greatly angry, but what had already happened was irreversible.

Because that’s what the oath is.

The emperor especially loved Seirin, so he could not carelessly take care of Alois, the partner of the oath.

If she dies before the conditions are fulfilled, Seirin will die with her.

It was a tactic to achieve their will by putting each other’s lives as collateral.

‘In the novel, it was definitely a great scene when Seirin herself became a hostage and sided with Alois…… I can’t believe it’s going to turn this way.’

As Lexion said, Seirin was very different from before.

‘I can’t believe you made an oath to kill one person. Do you hate me so much that you’re being so reckless, Seirin?’

My mind was complicated and dizzy.

This relationship, which had no choice but to go wrong with Seirin, was heartbreaking.

Alois had to kill me if she had already sworn an oath.

Because the contract is to make each other hostages.

Of course, there was a vague idea that Alois I knew might have hidden some moves.

At that moment, Alois’ eyes gleamed as she regained her composure.

The eyes of a beast of prey aiming for a chance to hunt.

She pulled out a dagger from her pocket with a nervous expression on her face.

If she couldn’t use magic, it seemed like she was trying to subdue me by force.

“If you know now, please die calmly. If magic doesn’t work, I’ll kill you by force.”

“If I die here, even the Princess will not be able to avoid the charges.”

“I’m just a maid anyway. There’s an infinite number of things that the imperial family can do. It’s not a job* for them to change my identity.”

TL/N: So easy that it’s not work for them.

“Is that really what you want? Changing your status and living in affluence?”

Her steps, approaching cautiously, stopped abruptly.

I went on to say.

“I know why you wander around.” 

“There is always a reason for wandering around. If you’re trying to pass time with nonsensical words… …”

“You are looking for your brother.”

“……!”

“I know where your brother is.”

Chaeng-grang-!

As soon as I finished speaking, Alois dropped the dagger.

Her hands were trembling and her eyes were wide open.

“How do you…”

She contorted her face as if she was about to cry.

Life has long been scattered.

She laughed bitterly.

Because finding her brother was her real purpose.

“Alex Beth is alive.”

“……hul.”

Alois slumped down as if she lost the strength in her legs.

The moment her brother’s name came out of my mouth, she would have judged that I really knew her brother.

After a while, Alois asked in a trembling voice.

“Where… is he?”

She looked up at me with mournful eyes as if she had forgotten the purpose of killing me.

I glanced at the clock.

I’ve been with Alois Beth too long.

When Seirin finishes talking to Gregory, she’ll go find Alois right away.

It was dangerous if the two of us were caught together.

“I have to go back first. I’ve been lingering too long at the villa.”

“Tell me where it is and go! Please…!”

Alois cried softly and begged.

I understand her desperation, but the place is bad.

I slowly got her up and whispered.

“Come to your real home. If it were you, it would be easy to move without the Princess knowing.”

“…You’re trying to use me like a princess, after all. With conditions that I can’t refuse.”

There was resentment in her eyes.

‘Seirin threatened her with her life. Maybe the whole town of Lavita.’

Somehow Alois became sad.

There was no way she, as a supporting character, could handle the darkened Seirin.

Alois seemed to think I was going to put Alec in a tough job as a hostage.

I quickly shook my head.

“No. I don’t intend to make unreasonable demands on you by taking your brother hostage.”

“… … .”

“I just….”

I hesitated and continued.

“I just want you to be happy.”

This was sincere.

Because I really like Alois Beth.

Of course, even if it’s the first time we’ve seen each other in this life.

“… … !”

Alois’ eyes shook wildly.

Thanks to that, the tears that had been piling up were dripping down.

“What the hell are you….”

Alois looked at me as if she didn’t understand me.

I said to her with a smile.

“So come find me. Let me help you.”

* * *

It was the night before the return, before the final battle with the evil dragon.

Alois talked to me while lying down because she couldn’t sleep.

“Rose, are you sleeping?”

‘No, not yet. Can’t you sleep, Alois?’

“Yes, I keep thinking about the past.”

‘The past?’

Ahead of the final battle, Alois looked contemplative.

I think the reason why she confessed to me that day was that she thought we might die tomorrow.

Alois told me a secret she had never told anyone.

‘… … actually I had a younger brother.’

‘Younger brother? You never said such a thing.’

‘Cause I’ve never told anyone.’

‘Ah…’

‘By the time I settled in Lavita, I was almost in a state of giving up. Of course, since there are no clues other than the proof.’

With those words, Alois took out a handkerchief from her bosom and showed it to me.

The handkerchief that was carefully kept looked very clean except for the fact that it was only half.

‘Is that a red hawk?’

Yes, my brother has the other half. It’s a mess because I ripped it in a hurry with a knife, right?’

‘… … .’

‘When Alex and I were just born, the village found out that our family was magicians.’

‘Ah…’

‘At that time, the exclusion of magicians was more severe than it is now. As we tried to run away in a hurry to avoid persecution, my parents dispersed, separating from me and my younger brother. To distract their attention.’

Alois’ face was very distorted.

At that time, the perception of the magician was very fierce.

Therefore, it was not uncommon for the magician to be called a witch and burned at the stake.

Perhaps Alois’ family was also trying to escape from being burned.

“Just in case, I tore up the handkerchief and shared it. So that whatever happens to my parents, my brother and I can recognize each other.’

‘But you haven’t seen each other again?’

‘Yes, my father didn’t come to the place we were supposed to meet. So my mother ventured down to the village and my dad was hanging dead from a tree. It was burnt black too.’

‘… … !’

“There’s a name written on the tree, so I barely found out. Burnt bodies are actually hard to recognize.’

‘Alois…’

‘Fortunately, my brother wasn’t there. Maybe my father hid him somewhere.’
