“Haha! Edith! Now we will be one forever! Forever…!”
“As if!”
A familiar voice growled at Fred. And the next moment, something hit Fred. She thought she heard a popping sound.
“Give me Edith!”
Fred’s luminous voice disappeared again with a ‘pop’ sound. And then a familiar face suddenly appeared above her.
“Edith! Edith, can you see me?”
“Kil… Killian…”
“Ha… Thank you, Hershan…”
It was Killian. Killian saved her again.
‘How did he know about this place?’
Even when she was distracted, she was curious about that. But she didn’t have the strength left to ask that. Killian ordered the knights who came with him to tie up Fred, and Anna, who followed late, looked at her with tears in her eyes.
“Miss!”
“I’m sorry, Anna…”
“No! I was wrong. I am…”
“No… Don’t blame yourself. And I’m sorry… Please take care of my luggage over there.”
She took advantage of Killian’s distraction, tying up Fred to ask Anna to pack up her 19+ romance books. She felt like if Killian found out about that, he would die in shame on the spot. She watched Anna out of the corner of my eye as she packed her things, then straightened up as Killian turned toward her. But he lifted her up as if he wasn’t going to let her feet touch the ground.
“Do you feel dizzy or nauseous?”
“I don’t know.”
It also appears that Fred ran over and hit his head when he fell. But she was out of her mind right now, so it was difficult to objectively understand her own condition.
“What the hell is going on!”
“Me… It was the man they were chasing.”
“This is all your karma for stabbing this man and that man! If men have bad intentions, a weak woman like you can’t handle it! Why on earth would you even mess with such a gloomy man…?”
Although he was pretending to be rational, it seemed like Killian was just as confused and distraught right now. His words were more incoherent than usual and his voice was too loud. Even though he was pounding her, the moment she felt his body and body temperature, she relaxed.
“Killian… thank you…”
The moment she realized that the tension was gone, her whole body lost strength so quickly that it was funny, and she could barely utter a single word of thanks to Killian before she lost consciousness.
‘When I read the roman novel, I wondered why the female protagonists always fell down like that, but the romance world characters themselves have extreme jobs.’
Even with her clouded mind, she continued to complain. It’s unfair that she was so sick that she almost died after taking poison, but she almost died after the yacht accident, and she almost died from some crazy stalker… Wasn’t this really too much? And when she was half conscious in this unconscious state, the announcer’s voice came out…
[Some of the original work’s flow was broken due to the original author’s excessive intervention. The original was further damaged. The control of the original author is being seriously weakened.]
It’s a voice that told her that she hasn’t died in this world yet, so she was even glad to see it now. However, the guidance that came out this time was different from the previous guidance in one way.
‘The original author’s control is being weakened in every way?’
‘Haha! Shame on you!’
Perhaps the original author thought he could kill her this time. ast time, she fell into the water right in front of Killian, but this time, she was dragged in without Killian knowing.
‘I don’t know how Killian knew and came to save me, but it must have been an unforeseen interruption to the original author. If the original author’s control has been seriously weakened, it would be difficult to do something like this again.’
As each day passed, Killian became more and more distant from the original character, and had now almost given up on his feelings for Lise. Perhaps other characters may also be breaking away from the control of the original author.
‘It’s not long until the episode where my head falls off, so… Even the original author wouldn’t do anything more than this.’
Rather than overdoing things, she was more likely to make an effort to prevent herself from meeting the level 3 exception conditions.
‘I’m at a disadvantage because I still have to catch a mouse while the cow is backing up. However, considering that the author tried to kill me even though he knew that, the range of conditions that the author can put forward is becoming increasingly narrow.’
It wasn’t a 100% clear idea, but that’s how she had defined the author and her game, and it’s mostly been correct. Moreover, since she couldn’t know the exact thing from her perspective, she had to guess this way and move forward. Yes, moving forward without stopping. That was the only way she could beat the original in this game.

An inorganic yet friendly voice kindly guided me through the current situation. Of course, K knew all of this.
‘How can this be? Nonsense. ow can you live in that situation!’
K never thought that this project would fail. She was in a corner, so she created a situation by squeezing out every possibility she could. She drew Edith in without Duke Ludwig suspecting her, and also cleverly designated the location of <Millane Bookstore>. The character Fred was also given the setting of being one of the men who were obsessed with Edith, and was given the new setting of being a blind man who admired her haughty attitude.
The reason why he didn’t appear during that time was because he was recuperating at the estate, and the reason he came back was because he lied to his father with the intention of dying with Edith. Because the character was suddenly brought out, she felt like the original story was being distorted, but in this situation where she didn’t know when and how the level 3 exception condition would be met, she had to somehow kill Edith and get back on track with the original story.
‘Judging by the fact that Killian showed up there, he is now becoming the male lead for Edith!’
The original story was being damaged day by day, and now the story was being divided into Lise Sinclair’s story and Edith Ludwig’s story. That was a situation that only the original author, K, could know, but that made K even more fearful.
‘I can’t believe Killian is becoming the male lead for Edith! Who the hell made up this story?’
It was his first time experiencing a story she created that was out of her control. The biggest change was that Killian, who was supposed to be the sub-male lead, was gradually becoming the male lead for the 13th Edith. He instinctively sensed that Edith was in danger, and ran at all costs to save her.
‘Now it’s too late to change Killian back into Lise’s sub-male lead. He has no choice but to be a supporting character who is swayed by Edith and becomes devastated after Edith dies.’
It was a character she had affection for, but if Lise, the female protagonist, was a character that would shake the world, she had to hold back tears and turn away. But the problem was that to create such a situation, Edith must first die.
‘I never thought Edith would persuade Fred there with words.’
She thought she was going to die just screaming out of embarrassment, but it was an unexpected action. Her calm response persuaded ‘probability’, the most powerful force that keeps this world going, and thanks to this, her death was postponed for a while.
‘I had no idea that in those few minutes Killian would find Edith. I was complacent.’
When Killian heard that Edith had decided to go to Le Belle Marie Street with Lise, he was reluctant about it. And today, he came to Le Belle Marie Street without Edith and Lise secretly looking for them.
“Lise? Why are you alone? What about Edith?”
K was also surprised by Killian, who suddenly appeared and asked Lise about Edith’s whereabouts. However, she believed that he could not change the ending of Edith’s death.
“I was looking for Edith too. Edith suddenly disappeared…”
K, who had made Lise say that line, had no intention of telling him where Edith had gone missing. So it was relaxing. This was after being informed that Edith would die within 3 minutes.
‘How can he cover this wide street of Le Belle Marie in 3 minutes? Oh, there’s less than two minutes left now.’
While K was grinning to herself, Anna suddenly jumped out, grabbed Killian, and appealed to him.
“The ladies went to the bookstore in the alley, but Miss Lise came out alone! We heard that Edith disappeared. We were standing near here, but she never came out of that alley!”
After hearing that, Killian searched the alley with two knights and found Edith in less than 10 minutes. In the end, it was Anna who saved Edith’s life. Because she narrowed down the scope of her Edith tremendously.
‘I let my guard down!’
It was hard to know when Anna became such a loyal maid to Edith. She couldn’t help but notice how much the extras, who didn’t even have names in the original, were influenced by Edith. That was today’s defeat.
‘Furthermore, it is because Edith’s narrative ignored the fact that she had already become a female protagonist.’
The fact that the male lead appears at a critical moment and saves the female lead makes no sense in reality, but in the world of romance, it was an acceptable cliche. However, this was a fortune that was only available to female protagonists.

Thanks RJR <3
Yeeeees! Killian I wasn’t expecting less from him. Now I hope Edith will not be stupid and think it was just a coincidence. Fred told her clearly that someone let him know about her going on the same day she was invited.
Hahaha so (not) sorry K, you and Lizard are the villainess in this story, not the protagonists 😘
Good for Edith, good for Killian and Anna. I am really looking forward to read what Killian thinks after this event
Thank you RJR💗
Yay we love you Anna! Dear, smart, loyal Anna! 🥰💝
Anna, Linon/Renan and the food were definitely the best part of this life to Edith ❤️🩹🥰
Anna for the SAVE!!!!
Thank you RJR
I’m in a dilemma. I love how this chapter turned out but I also feel like it’s a bit short. It’s satisfying and frustrating both at the same time but I’m really happy for what happened, really !!! Thank you again for another great chapter
Someone else cannot see the images? Or there’s no images?
The images should be at the bottom (Ko-fi/Patreon image and link). If you can’t see it, try refreshing your browser or seeing if malware/antivirus is blocking the site.
I’m still in awe for Anna’s loyalty to Edith now. Hope Killian will make up his mind to be SUPERRRR suspicious towards Lizard. Haysssss… Fighting Edith!!!😍
When will Edith unlock the third exception!!!! I love Anna and Killian in their heroic did in this chapter!
I’m soooo curious what is the 3 condition! I hope Edith unlockes it fast)
Love you Anna thank you for your loyalty!
Killian I hope now you know all the details…
At this rate, Lise will be the one who Killian will strangle 😝 Go on Lise, show your true color more and more. Cant wait for you to suffer 100x than what you did to Edith 😏
Ooo so Edith’s a damsel in distress female protagonist now. Damn that’s gotta be rough.
How ironic that it’s K who’s making Edith a Female Protagonist. Why don’t she just let them be together? She’s still the protagonist of the story. Because she’s a narcissist.
Thank you RJR!
