Chapter 1

I acted as a supporting character

There were no birds were chirping and the air was calm, There was no dazzling sunshine. All I had was a throbbing headache, throbbing insides, and a throat that was parched. "Uh, water... " I opened my eyes painfully, and tried to find water, I was hoping for some nearby, please. Maybe I drank too much champagne yesterday. When I was a freshman, I had a hangover because I didn't know how much booze I could take, but I was probably very excited yesterday.

Fortunately, someone seemed to have heard me, so I had a cup full of water in front of me. I was only trying to lift up my upper body slightly, but someone's arm kindly helped me. Probably Sylvia, my maid I saw yesterday. "Thank you...."

I throwed the water down my throat, the desert like feeling dispersing expressing my heartless gratitude. I gave the waiting hand an empty cup of water and tried to lie back in bed, but something was wrong.

 

Sylvia's hand I saw yesterday... was it this big? I opened my eyes and looked at her hand as I tried to close them again with doubt. This woman's hand was incredibly large. Slowly, slowly, her eyes shifted over the hand. How can a woman have such a muscular forearm? Besides, what's with this dashing shoulder? And the chest...No, but why...are they naked?

"What are you staring at? You touched it so much last night,", Silvia, your voice has gotten a lot deeper. It's not ..! It's a man, not a woman! Besides, I didn't touch anything?...don't tell me? I quickly picked up the sheet and checked my body underneath it. Yes. Correct! I'm naked! "I saw it yesterday, and I don't think there was anything special?"

The man who was trying to put his head in the sheet together gave me a fright and a flinch back into the sheet. And finally I checked the man's face in front of me.

The man in front of me was also blond and blue-eyed, just like the original writer's novel. Now, calm down. The moment I try to understand the situation calmly, a few scenes passing through my head...."No more, no more..." someone said, "What no more? 'You don't like it?" someone else remarked, "Well, I mean...…." person 1 brashly told person 2.

That's not it! I didn't mean to think about that! "Wait a minute... wait a minute." said person 1 "What, Shall we stop?" said person 2 "Oh, no. Don't stop. Please..." said person 1. No! You should have stopped! Whatever it is, you should have stopped! "What are you thinking?" The Male Beside Her Enquired. When I raised my head to the low voice, a handsome, handsome man was looking at me.

 

I have a lot of thoughts. The biggest problem is that I don't even know who the other person is. Now, stay calm. For now, it's important to get out of this situation. To do that, you should know first where you are and who this handsome man is in front of you. "Hey..."The blonde, which just woke up, seemed to have been set up on purpose to make someone look sexy, and too friendly blue eyes were staring at me to say that I was looking at my lover overnight. Now, you're really handsome.

He's too, needlessly, abnormally handsome to just pass by! But please, just an extra! Or at least a minor supporting actor! "Hey, who are you?", The moment I asked the question, the man's face hardened coldly.

 

Anxiety somehow began to creep up from the cold face. "You don't know me, the heir to the only duke family of the Ernel Empire?" That Duke? No WAY, "The House of the Duke of Englid...you mean?" That was the family of the male protagonist.

"and you are...." I swallowed my dry saliva in doubt. A man of Englid family......there was only one Child Who was alive, who happened to be a boy, "Duke Geronis de Inglid?" The smile of the smiling man, with only one mouth raised, meant positivity. Looking at that sexy smile, I thought to myself, you're under the gaze of the one and only Duke Geronis de Inglid.

* * *

When I opened my eyes, I thought that the story of a novel was only from a real novel. Until I get it. "Mrs. Ripley, it's time to get up." Actually, I didn't know it was in a novel. I just thought, Oh, is this a dream?'

Only without a dream could I lie in such a fluffy bed, and in a bed with curtains like a mosquito net, sleeping in a room disguised as a studio. "Miss Ripley, please get up." Besides, he couldn't have called me by a name he didn't even know. "Lady!" said the woman, who had just been so sweet, suddenly shouted, thinking it was a dream, but without my knowledge, she jumped out of her seat." Good job. Shall I wash your face now?" It was a sentence clearly marked with a question mark, but I didn't think to hear the answer, clearly said in a sarcastic manor. 

If you see the washbasin right next to the bed. The moment I put my hand inside the basin thinking, "What if I do anything?" "Well?"  the water was cold. Was it supposed to feel so vivid in your dreams? "What are you doing, Miss? You need to wash up quickly. Today is the day of Lady Ettaire's birthday party. You have to get ready quickly." What are you talking about... wait....that's a familiar name? "Who?" , "It's the day of Baron Ettaire de Hayley's birthday party." Even the Last Name Sounds familiar.

"Hey, are you talking about Mrs Baron Etr de Haley, with deep lake-like blue eyes and bloodier red lips with honey-blonde hair?" Oh, my God! You too. Where did you learn such a romantic expression?" In a romance novel." I don't know if you put honey on your hair or not, but it's the birthday of the girl with blond hair and blue eyes." " Hey wasn't she originally  a poor orphan, who rescued a baron who almost accidentally lost his life and was adopted to the house and became The Baron's etoile?"

"Oh, my God! How can you tell me about Ettaire's situation as if you've read her future and Past?"...because it's the plot of a novel.

In other words, the Baron's Etoile(TN Etoile means star) who was the main character and was the most admired female character who bewitched all the males in the novel , however she ran into the most handsome duke, kept running into him, accidentally locked up in an enclosed space, and accidentally fell in love with him , and, of course, almost died because he was jealous of other males being near her, but the duke married her and lived happily....it twas a common romance fantasy novel. Most of the scenes are coincidental, and probability is that the Duke's handsomeness is the only thing that makes her more handsome.

such a novel made by the goodness of a woman I'm in there now? But who the hell is Ripley? Although it was a mass-produced novel, I was so absorbed in the novel that I had been binge-reading it several times over. But the novel did not have the name Ripley in it for all I can remember, which is practically everything and everyone. "Excuse me..." "Yes, my lady," the maid smiled brightly and offered me a towel after washing my face, I spoke cautiously toward the woman, who was probably my maid....

"By the way, Miss, why are you speaking formally to me today?" stated the maid,  It's the first time I've ever been this girl...but I can't say that..."Have I? I guess I'm not fully awake," she said, covering his face with an Pearly white towel. Let's be careful! If I tell them what happened they might send me to an asylum.

I'll have to find out who I've possessed so that I know how to behave in the future. "Hey, Was I close enough to Mrs be invited to Ettaire's birthday party?"

"Yes, of course. Julia, the brother of your brother, Captain Dmitri Thorne, is Ripley's friend. ".isn't that a normal relationship? Then Ripley would be just an extra standing on the edge of the party. "Come on, if you've washed your face, why don't you pick a dress?" When she beckoned, the maids over there brought something similar to hanger. There was a dress hanging on it that seemed as good as thirty. "What kind of dress would you like today?" Uh well you know.. .”

"Or would you choose a dress for your jewellery? "When she beckoned again, this time she dragged something like a dining-room wheeled tray, where there were about ten things like jewellery boxes. As the maid began to open it one by one , each of them contained jewels made of five coloured jewels. "Is this all mine? "Oh my, miss. You're really weird today. You've always grumbled, "Isn't there too few jewels for Earl?" "I'm the Earl...... Young-ae....?" Oh, my God, you're a pussy, you're not a baron, you're not a countess, you're a countess.

Am I on? The heroine is Baron Young-ae! When I looked at the mirror between the jewels, which were really pretty, I saw a woman with a puzzled look in her face. Red hair similar to carrot colour, blinking green eyes with dazed eyes. I 'm not sure because I'm a foreigner, but it's hard to say that I'm pretty, and I had a cute face to tell you. And that was who I am now. "I'm new to you, too. … Oh, what would you like for breakfast? Would you like cream soup and carrot juice as usual?"

"Uh... …no. I'd like something different today." "Really? Which one?" "Well...a fresh baked bagel with crispy bacon and fresh salad, and a sunny side-up with fried eggs. A cup of coffee in black, too," she looked at me with a look of strangeness at my spell. OH, this isn't work? Is that so? Having a hotel breakfast style in my dream bed, no matter how much I possessed the Earl's love...… .


"Can you eat that much? You usually eat less breakfast." Sylvia questioned, "I'm a little hungry today." I said "Okay. I'll be right back. In the meantime, choose your dress and jewellery."

Thirty minutes later, for the first time in my life, I sat on my bed with a diamond necklace, earrings and rings, ate brunch, and wore a princess-like dress. Hooray! Best of Bing! I want to live here forever!

It's a fun ball. Pretty girls and handsome guys are dancing to the song, "(insert favourite song).".. is all about others.  I can't dance. Isn't that obvious? There's no way a 22-year-old college student in Korea can do social dance.

 

The naughty bencher, who couldn't even dance, was quietly eating delicious things in the corner, only looking back on my situation. I've thought about it a few times and it was a novelty. The novel must have been the one I read the other day, The Flower of Englid.

It took about a year for the wedding of the main character and the duke to occur. Therefore, I could enjoy the life of a Count's daughter, eating delicious things, wearing pretty dresses, and wearing expensive jewellery. If you clap your hands of blessing at their wedding, the novel will be over and I will be back in place. "Mr. Ripley! Thank you so much for coming all the way here.""...Oh, yes! "I was eating the macaron hard, and only after about five seconds did I realize that I was Ripley and quickly answered. And when I turn around, I see...who are you?

I answered quickly, but I didn't know what to say next to the pretty foreign girl smiling brightly. When that happens, um... let's just laugh. "Hahahaha." Thank you for your birthday present. Ripley is really clever. "Oh! If it's a birthday present, she's Etoile? I looked at her anew at the thought of my hostess standing before me, who had wished me to be happy.

As was written in the novel, shiny blonde hair and tender blue eyes were the first to be seen. A shy smile was certainly a beauty. Among the countless blond men and women, Etoile's innocent lily-like smile made me smile after her without even realizing it. "No, it's not a big deal." "I'll use it carefully. I hope you have a good time. "There, there!" said the moment she was about to leave with a beautiful smile, I unwittingly called her up. "What?"

There was a lot to say for the looking Etoile. If Rose, the wicked woman, gives you a cake, tell you not to eat it, or if you have a problem with the wedding dress you've got on the Morrow ramie, don 't go.

Things like that, or don't spare words for him so that the jealous peacock doesn't misunderstand. "Happy birthday, Etoile." "Thank you." But I shouldn't have said anything. You can't twist the original by saying those things. Besides, she'll have to go through all that to make her a happy ending. Before being adopted as Baron's daughter, I sincerely hoped that she would live happily because she knew how hard it had been for her. It's just...

I prefer a friendly light to that obsessive duke," sipping a sip of champagne, I watched her from behind. I'm sure they're meeting for the first time today, and there's a peacock somewhere... "Let's see, the peacock must have blond hair and blue eyes...I can't find it. The original author of the novel was a blonde and blue-eyed maniac. Her hair is blonde and her eyes are blue. The main male lead also has blond hair and blue eyes. The main female lead also  blond hair and blue eyes. The ballroom was covered with blond hair and blue eyes, regardless of gender....

I then looked at the alcohol stationed at the tables that were placed symmetrically throughout the grand hall, it looked amazing, here we go again!
