I Found a Husband When I Picked up the Male Lead

“The stars went here!”

Lapel shouted, pointing to Lizelle’s pupils as if he had made some big discovery. 2

Ahh, my heart hurts.

The boy who pointed to her eyes and said that it is a bright star was really cute enough to hurt her heart. The cheesy lines that men often use to seduce women flow out of  Lapel’s cute mouth and make her feel like it’s the best praise.

How could he just pick these pretty words? I’m dead. 3

“Thank you Lapel.”

The two smiled at each other.

The smile was so warm and friendly that it would be a delight to see if anyone else saw it.

Lapel laughed then and yawned straight into Lizelle’s arms.

“Hah…”

“Hmm. You must have felt tired after a long time in the carriage.”

As she glanced from the window and tried to turn to the bed, something caught her eye.

Dark silhouette over the window. Dark hair that is obscured by the dark, but not covered by the moonlight.

It was the Duke Chester. He was crossing the yard to wherever he was going in the middle of the night.

Does this have anything to do with me or not? 

“Huh, Lapel. Let’s sleep now.”

Lizelle snorted and quickly turned around.

I don’t even want to see his back.

Lapel was already asleep in Lizelle’s arms.

She turned around quietly so that he would not wake up.

Next day. 

Werazel headed to the Baron before dawn and explained to her parents what had happened with the Duke.

“So don’t worry too much,” said Werazel with a small laugh, trying to reassure her parents, but the baron and his wife couldn’t easily let go of their worries.

“It’s still… Wouldn’t it be a little inconvenient for you to stay with the Duke?”

“I think it’s best to be safe for Lapel, for me, and for my mother and father.”

Werazel held her mother’s hand tight.

I haven’t lived apart from my daughter for the past 20 years, but suddenly my daughter said she would stay with the Duke for a month, and of course us parents are worried. 

“Then leave Lapel there and be the only one to come back… “

“What if he does not give me the reward?”

“The Duke shouldn’t do that. “

“If we’re talking about him, he might.” Lizelle said with a determined expression.

The Duke I interacted with yesterday was that kind of man. 

So, I have no choice but to stick to it until the end and cover all bases.

“Are you sure you’re really okay? Is there any mistake on the part of  Duke?

“…”

Rosalie was very worried about her daughter.

I was worried about staying at someone else’s house, but I was most concerned about whether my daughter would do anything stupid for luxury.

It wouldn’t be like the case when you think of these days, but when you think of Lizelle in the past, you’ll still worry about that.

“It’s not like that. I have to help Lapel to adjust to me leaving and with the duke as well, and I have to pay the family debts by receiving the reward.”

Rosalie was a little relieved to hear that she was paying the debt. Still, her concern was something that she was worried about.

While Lizelle and Rosalie continued to talk, the Baron was silently bowing his head.

There was a feeling of guilt on the face of the Baron, who’s wringing his hands.

“I’m sorry. Because of your useless father…”2

It was the first word uttered by the Baron, who was silent the whole time. Werazel raised the other hand holding his mother’s hand and placed it on the back of her father’s hand.

“Father. It’s really okay. It’s something I did, so give me a chance to make up for myself.”

“Lizelle, my daughter, you have changed a lot.”

Looking at Lizelle like seeing a thoughtful angel, the Baron’s eyes reddened.

“Ah, yes. I’m getting matured now too! A-ha-ha.”

The Baron’s words made Lizelle embarrassed and she just made a loud noise.

If you think about it, as someone who is known for her luxury and vanity, the way she is taking care of debts and caring for a child in a blink of an eye now, it would be really strange and foreign to anyone.

She decided to be careful.

“Yes, I see. If you are forced to do anything because of the debt, always come back.”

“Yes. Don’t worry about me.”

“If you have a hard time, come back anytime.”

Lizelle smiled as he saw his father shaking and touching his chin under his tightly closed lips as if holding back tears.

“I’ll come back.”

With her mother and her drooping father behind her, Werazel climbed into the carriage.

She also carried luggage for her stay in the Duke’s home for a month. When she looked back, her father was stamping the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief as if he was finally crying.

It’s not like I’m getting married, it will only be a month.1

😏

As Lizelle left the baron’s residence, she repressed her uncomfortable heart.

The sun was rising and morning had come.

Well Werazel, you are really loved.

That’s the only thought in her mind when she saw her parents. She knows how difficult it was to show affection without expecting a price. Even if it is the affection between parents and children.

She realized once again that Werazel’s parents were really nice people. And somehow she missed her real parents.

There aren’t even pictures left, and I can’t remember their faces anymore. 

Would Lapel wake up? She recalled Lapel, furthering her gloomy expression.

Whenever she thought of her real parents, she naturally thinks of Lapel. Now, Lapel will raised by an uncle, not a parent.

Raphelion, who doesn’t have any parents to give him a warm embrace… perhaps has a similar situation to himself. There is a place in the heart that only parents can fill. So no matter how well his uncle Chester treats Lapel, he will not be able to fill his parents’ seats.

Just like me. 

She couldn’t be ignore Lapel who had been alone at a very young age like herself. I don’t know if that’s why or if it was Lapel that was been bothering her from the beginning. Seeing his small arms that seemed to collapse in weakness, hearing his voice that cried desperately at Mom and Dad, made her feel like she was facing herself.

“Once I get back, I’ll hug you a lot.”

If only she can replace his parents’ affection for a moment.

Lizelle went straight to the Duke’s, vowing to do better while with Lapel.

Even though her parents and Lapel wanted to see each other, she gave up early on yesterday because she remembered Chester’s face when he insisted on leaving his child behind.

I’m sure if Lapel and I were going home together, he would have objected, saying, “How can I let him go when he might not come back.”

“It’s obvious even if I don’t see it,” Werazel’s expression crumbled badly. As if she doesn’t want to think of the petty person.

Besides, it was too early to wake up Lapel. The green of the dawn was gradually fading through the small window.

Maybe by the time the I get to the Duke’s, Lapel will wake up, I have to hurry. 

“Haaah.”

Lizelle yawned and leaned against the seat. She left before down dawn, so a feeling of light fatigue came. Her eyes grew heavy. The carriage was a carriage provided by the duke, so it gave herunshakeable comfort. The quietness and the fluffy sheet, without any disturbance, and the feeling of stability were just the right conditions to fall asleep.

In time, her lazy eyelids were completely closed.

“Wait a minute!” Lizelle opened her eyes and and sat straight. She shouted, and the wagon came to a halt without shaking.

She quickly opened the door and came out of the wagon, “I’ll be right back.”

“Yes.”

“Okay.”

She entered the market.

There must have been a star-shaped object somewhere in this place lined with general merchandise stores, and the market was busy as it was just time to open. 1

Werazel slowly looked around the shops and stalls, and there were a lot of pretty and cute items, all of which Lapel would like.

Well, if there is it’s a star-shaped thing, that would be nice.

Lizelle looked at the objects with a thoughtful eye. There were many things that were made in the shape of a star than expected. From small watches to hairpins, bracelets and necklaces.

Even the plate is star-shaped.

Will he eat well if I put carrots in this bowl? 

When she pictured Lapel eating carrots deliciously in her head, a cute rabbit came to mind. Werazel smiled, bought the plate, and then stepped over to the shopkeeper’s display.

In an instant, her eyes, who were scrutinizing the items to see if there was anything else to buy, were suddenly fixed in one place.

A snow globe with a large, glowing, yellow star in the middle was placed on the shelf.

This is it. It was just what she likes.

Lizelle quickly reached out and tried to grab the snow ball.

Suddenly, a hand popped out from the side. Both hands caught the snowglobe at the same time.

Werazel looked at the owner of the large hand that had covered hers.

Yuck. 16

“What’s with that look?” Chester stood with dissatisfied eyes, narrowing the gap between his eyes.
