The Obsessive Male Lead Made Me The Female Lead

> 

I held my breath for nothing when I heard the word ‘duke’.

 

Apparently, the previous conversation was about Lexion.

 

It was natural for the story of their boss to come up as gossip while working.

 

'If I get caught hiding here for no reason, it’ll get weird.’

 

I leaned down even more.

 

The maids continued to chime.

 

“I don’t know, because he went straight to the capital with the knights.”

 

“I was surprised that he went in such a hurry and brought a woman with him.
Besides, it's Esol.
What the hell was he thinking?”

 

“Daisy said that the Duke seems to have fallen in love with her.”

 

I took a breath in surprise at the sudden change of topic.

 

Then, the conversation between the maids was cut off.

“Did you just hear something?”

 

“I think I heard it from over there…”

 

The maid murmured and came towards where I am.

 

I became impatient and immediately let out a cat cry.

 

“Meow.”

 

“It seems like a wild cat.”

 

“I was surprised.”

 

The maids sighed and then exhaled, clearing their doubts.

 

Then one of the maids grumbled.

 

“Even though her face was smooth, she didn’t look that special.”

 

“It’s Esol.
She also survived alone.”

 

“Yeah, it’s a minority race.
It is clear that Daisy is spreading rumors that she likes the person she serves.”

 

“But, everyone listens to Daisy and tries to look good to the duke.”

 

“…Honestly, am I not better?”

 

The other person burst into laughter when the maid asked the question as she suddenly took a confident pose.

 

“Puha! Have you still not given up on that dream? Where would you like to see the Duke with a maid?”

 

“I’m interested in women who are not even imperial citizens.” (translator note: she’s mocking the duke and Titi.)

 

“Lizzy, if you talk like that, you’re going to get into big trouble later.”

 

Since then, they have been talking about each other's looks.

 

I stared at the woman named Lizzie.

 

Lizzy was a child who didn't like me even in my previous life.

 

‘You secretly had a crush on Lexion.
That's why it was so extreme.’

 

I laughed at the fact that I found out late.

 

Then it was a little understandable why she reacted so sharply.

 

Of course, it doesn't mean that I will forgive her for bothering me, but I didn't hate that child because of her terrible set value.

 

I slowly escaped from the bushes only after the two of them hung out their laundry.

 

I thought, tapping my numb legs.

 

'Something must have really happened before coming to the South.’

 

I thought I was the only one who thought Lexion had become strange.

 

So, I thought that the setting value of Lexion in this episode was set separately.

 

But the maid also thought that Lexion had changed.

 

Concerns deepened over unexpected situations.

 

The book continued to argue that he was unlikely to return like me.

But the more I talked to him, the more I felt that he seemed to remember what I used to do.

 

'I need to check if it's true.’

 

There was no reason for the book to interfere with me until the next event appeared anyway.

 

In the meantime, I can find out about Lexion.

 

‘First of all, the maids said he had changed since 'That Day', so I should dig into that day.’

 

I rushed to Daisy.

 

* * *

“I don't know.
I don't….”

 

Daisy was reluctant and glossed it over.

 

She seemed embarrassed when I suddenly came and asked what happened before Lexion left for the capital.

 

I've been questioning again and again.

 

“Think about it.
Did you observe anything unusual? The maids said, ‘something was off that day’.”

 

“Who's the maid?”

 

Daisy opened her eyes wide and asked back.

 

I didn't answer with my mouth closed.

 

I was careful that I wouldn’t talk about Lizzy for no reason.

 

Fortunately, Daisy began to comment on the day.

 

“Maybe it's the day before he went down to the capital.”

 

“Before?”

 

When I asked persistently, Daisy frowned and recalled her memory.

 

“It was a snowy day.
It was definitely fine until the morning, but after the Duke left for the mountain to check the security, it snowed all of a sudden.”

 

“Snowed?”

 

“Yes.
So that day, the Duke couldn't come back to the castle and took a day off at the villa.”

 

“I heard that the duke's expression was really bad when he came back to the castle that day…”

 

Daisy made a fuss as I rushed to ask about the villa.

 

“Oh, where did you hear it?”

 

“I heard it by chance.
I'm not used to the faces of the maid yet, so I don't know who they are…”

 

I slipped away from the gaze.

 

Daisy sighed and nodded.

 

“That was right.
I've never seen the duke so impatient.”

 

“The duke looked impatient?”

 

I was even more embarrassed because Lexion rarely changed his expressions.

 

Daisy nodded and replied back.

 

“Yes.
He hurriedly gathered people, saying that he should go to the capital.”
