I Became The Childhood Friend of the Obsessive Second Male Lead Chapter 230

unedited

Rieta would be glancing over the old script between the lines and looking at Hugh McLean.

He said it was his first time doing something like this, but it seemed like he was lying.

'He was skillful.'

From the sounds he makes, to the facial expressions he sometimes shows.

Maybe that's why Rieta fell into the story even more.

The script soon arrived at the passionate confession of affection.

The moment the emotions that have been pressed and held down explode, they inevitably flow out…….

'What. Can Noel do something like this?'

In the first place, Noel was someone who had never experienced first love.

He will learn all of that for the first time through the female lead brought by Princess Gabriella.

So she was wondering if Noel can express such a complex mind.

If he says he can…… What does it feel like?

Rieta tried to imagine Noel in the form of Hugh McLean.

Well, but to no avail. She couldn't think of anything.

Isn't that strange?

She can easily imagine how Noel will react when he wins the vote to star as the lead in the. But none like this…….

“Princess?”

Suddenly, when McLean called her, Rieta raised her head in surprise.

Both of them were looking at Rieta.

Perhaps she stayed still for a while when it was her turn.

“I'm, I'm sorry!”

Rieta hurriedly turned her attention to her script.

“Well, so.”

Where was it? Confused, she looks for lines with the blue underlining, but Everett folds the script until it snaps.

“Shall we end here today? Princess, you seem tired.”

“I'm fine. There's not much left anyway…….”

“We also have to go back to the academy soon. If you are concerned about the remaining script, you can meet with me one more time. Don't you think so?”

Uh. She thought the reason he suggested going this far was to create an excuse to meet Rieta one more time.

Rieta was sorry that she had other thoughts during practice, so she decided to accept his offer.

“Then is it okay if I bring the script? I want to go back and practice at least a little bit.”

“It would be an honor if you would.”

Since he said so, Rieta went back to the mansion with the script.

Everett also sent off Rieta and went straight back to the academy.

Somewhat hastened because he knew that if he ran into his father, he wouldn't hear much good things.

When he returns to the dormitory, he finds Noel slamming his head into the desk, distressed.

“It's a lifelong shame to have to spit out these lines at you.”

Perhaps he was rehearsing the script too.

“Don't do that, think of me as Princess Rieta?”

Noel immediately looked at him seriously, then sighed deeply.

“…… I think I would suit the donkey better than the female lead.”

To Noel's displeasure, Everett grabbed his stomach and laughed.

My God, what to do with this cute donkey couple.

While Rieta was on her fruitful vacation, Duke Mayer was busy.

Even while the Duke's servants went to rest in turn, he had to fill in the vacancy and continue his quiet activity.

Every now and then, whenever the Emperor had free time, he would visit Duke Mayer and comfort him for his hard work.

“Well, that's the position of being the younger brother of the Emperor.”

No, he was kidding.

“Do you mean to accept it as fate?”

“Why are you answering with such religious sense? It doesn't sound that complicated.”

The Emperor laughed as he poured himself a drink prepared in the corner of the office.

“You adapt to the given environment, something like that. For example, if you are placed in an environment of caring for a child for a long time, you will have affection for that child.”

“It's inevitable,” the Emperor said with a slight chuckle.

Then Duke Mayer put down his pen and looked at the Emperor, no, at his brother.

With a bit of 'what do you mean' and a disturbed gaze.

“If it's about Princess Rieta, I have nothing more to answer. I am satisfied with the relationship between guardian and ward.”

“But Princess Rieta became special, unlike the other children. Right?”

“She was born special in the first place. She is the daughter of a royal family.”

The Emperor's lips became slightly pouty at that skillful word escape.

That's an expression he doesn't make in front of the employees.

So the Duke could see that his brother was more serious today.

Of course, that doesn't change anything, though.

“I heard something.”

The Emperor spoke again. Then he poured out some more alcohol.

The Duke sighed and ordered the employee who was waiting in front of the door to bring a light snack.

It was because he thought that he would stay for a long time.

The employee immediately brought out small pieces of cheese and fruit.
