The Second Male Lead is Actually a Girl

Enoch was uncomfortable in his suit which was constricting his body, so he was touching the collar for no reason.

Even so, he did not forget to play the role of a noble.

While dealing with the aristocratic women approaching him, he constantly watched Yura.

“I heard that you came as lady Margaret’s partner.”

“We met by chance while I was sitting in a café drinking tea. She even gave me this opportunity, even though I’m just an aristocrat in name only, from the country. She’s such a very kind woman.”

Enoch really looked like a gentleman.

With an aristocratic tone and posture, he continued his conversation with the women around him.

In fact, it was only an act.

Not only was it not fun, but it was also very irritating.

‘If I’d known that she would already have a crush on me as soon as she saw me, I would have used that magical enchantment in moderation. Tsk.’

For a moment, Enoch’s eyes became very ferocious as he looked at the people in front of him.

He quickly tucked those feelings away.

“Oh. I’m so jealous of Lady Margaret.”

“Oh, ignore that.”

“Then, young lord, do you have a title in your province by any chance?”

At that moment, spoke with the blue-haired priest and showed signs of sneaking away.

Enoch, who had been watching her, quickly cut off the conversation to go after her.

“I’m sorry to cut into the conversation, but please excuse me for a moment.”

However, the people who were talking to him didn’t want to let Enoch go.

“Huh?”

“What’s the rush?”

“That’s right. If you want to get some fresh air, I’ll go with you….”

The irritation he’d been holding back began to erupt little by little.

Enoch clenched his teeth and sharply answered.

“I asked you to excuse me.”

Did they glimpse the cruelty in his pale green eyes?

Everyone kept their mouths shut.

The words ‘How could a mere country aristocrat treat us like this!” were on the verge of being screamed, but no one could spit out those words.

For some reason, it seemed that if they spit those words out, that man would strangle them at any moment.

Their bodies trembled as though they were standing before a carnivore.

Enoch looked down and raised one corner of his mouth.

He exited smoothly.

He took a good look in the direction Yura had disappeared in earlier. Enoch opened the banquet hall terrace door and came out.

Once outside, on the terrace, he headed to the gazebo placed in the corner of the small garden.

“Ha. My feet hurt.”

Yura was tapping the soles of her feet with her shoes off.

Then, just in time, Enoch’s eyes met hers as he entered the gazebo.

“Oh.”

With a blushing face, Yura quickly put her shoes back on.

Enoch sat away from Yura to avoid revealing that he followed her.

Then, he stared off at the wall of the gazebo made of lattice-patterned glass.

‘He only told me to keep an eye on her, so there’s no reason to talk to her.’

However, it seemed that Yura had a different idea.

As though she didn’t like silence, she started talking while looking at Enoch.

“My feet hurt. I know it’s not polite, but…. Mmmm.”

Yura hesitated for a moment.

“Could I take off my shoes for a moment?”

Sitting on a hard wooden chair, wiggling her feet, she glanced at Enoch across from her.

Despite asking him questions, Enoch did not look at Yura.

He just nodded his head sullenly.

Seeing Enoch like that, Yura tilted her head and asked, “I… Maybe you don’t know who I am? Ummm, my name is Yura Han!”

‘What do you want me to do about it,’ thought Enoch as he continued to ignore her.

Even so, Yura was not discouraged. She kept talking to him.

“Could you tell me your name?”   

Name.

‘I also have a name. Not just a number or an alias for the son of a prostitute, but a real name.’

But there was only one person that he wanted to call him by that name.

Enoch did not look at Yura, but only looked at the wall and recalled that blue hair and those purple eyes.

The corners of his mouth, which had been tightly closed, began to loosen little by little.

Seeing that, Yura smiled brightly.

“You don’t want to tell me your name? In the book my friend showed me, they gave me names for cases like this.”

Having said that, Yura covered her mouth and burst into laughter as though it were funny.

Yura lightly tucked her hair, which had been hanging along the side of her face, behind her ear.

Come to think of it, don’t you have the same hair color as me? It my first time seeing it here.”

It wasn’t the same.

As Yura said, it was just similar. In contrast to Enoch, Yura’s hair was more of a dark brown than black.

“Ah! This is also a coincidence, but I’ve always wanted to randomly name a nameless person. Like in a novel, you know?

Yura continued to giggle.

Ha. You want to give me a name? Enoch looked straight into Yura’s eyes for the first time with a gaze full of venom.

But he couldn’t say anything. He had a headache.

Perhaps not perceiving his condition, Yura still looked at Enoch with a bright face and opened her mouth.

 “Adrian?”

Soon after, Yura nodded her head.

It seemed that she really liked the name she’d made up.

Once again, she cried out loud, “I’ll call you Adrian!”

‘Adrian’

Upon hearing the name, Enoch felt some sort of illusion, as if the objects before his eyes were spinning.

By the time she’d repeated it once more, he’d gritted his teeth and looked away from her.

Enoch’s expression was terribly distorted because he had strained his hands and face.

Seeing that threatening expression, Yura’s face turned pale, and she started to make excuses.

“Ah… I need something to call you by, a nickname, you know? You can just think of it as such.”

What he had been given for the first time in my life was a name that represented his existence. Not an alias or number.

Even though he had the name, Enoch, he felt a strange emotion when he heard ‘Adrian’.

He could see why Rosenta had asked him to spy on this woman.

“I….”

Even though Yura was looking at him anxiously, Enoch did not look at her.

He bit his lower lip and raised the corners of his eyes fiercely.

The fresh light green eyes flashed ferociously, like a wild beast.

“Oh, Adrian?”

It felt like someone was stirring up his emotions. He felt as though he was overflowing.

He was only able to endure it by rejecting himself.

‘If you accept these feelings….’

“Are you okay? Adrian?”

‘Ah. Stop calling me by that name.’

Enoch curled his upper body like a shrimp.

Then, he closed his eyes tightly, holding back the rising emotions.

He pressed his ears as much as possible and concentrated on his thoughts. When he killed the teacher who was torturing him, he stole his book and left.

Recently, after a long time, he opened the book. It was to study the necessary magic to attend the banquet.

In the end, he used that mental magic on a young lady.

‘This….’

This was similar. But there was no sign of magic at all.

“Adrian! Shall I call someone?”

Enoch got up.

Suddenly, Yura came to him and grabbed his hand before he pushed her, who had begun shaking him.

Yura was pushed back on the sofa that was behind her.

Enoch couldn’t stay any longer.

The duality of emotions this woman caused was disgusting.

The erupted Enoch did not hold back his emotions.

He shouted as he poured them out.

“Shit! You’re so noisy! Can’t you shut that mouth of yours?”

Yura gasped with a pale face.

Even after seeing that pitiful figure, Enoch coldly shouted at Yura without remorse.

“This bastard keeps calling ‘Adrian, Adrian!”

It was like a beast, ready to tear out the enemy’s throat at any moment.

Enoch continued to roar.

“I already have the name Enoch, so don’t call me that name. If you keep calling me that, you won’t enjoy the consequences.”

Then he violently turned.

Leaving behind Yura, who was in shock, Enoch left the gazebo without hesitation.

‘That woman…. You really have a knack for pissing people off enough to make them want to kill you.’
