My Lover Isn’t Interested With The Female lead!
✽ CHAPTER 02✽
❁.｡.:*:.｡.✽.｡.:*:.｡.❁.｡.:*:.｡.✽.｡.:*:.｡.❁.｡.
‘Since being a villainess or getting isekai’d is a trend, am I also a villainess or an extra? I really don’t want that.’
I didn’t want to breathe in a world filled with people who proudly label themselves as “dotards” and read “real fanatics.”
Finally accepting my reincarnation, I resolved to live my second life properly.
In a world where people, despite having status, power, and money, lacked common sense and decency, how could I survive after being isekai’d, feeling miserable?
‘There seems to be… no way to avoid getting involved.’
When Ariette becomes an adult, the debut scene in the capital becomes the backdrop.
Sharon Count’s mansion is in the capital, and they even deal in jewelry.
It’s not like they depend on income from rural territories and live in seclusion; being a household that deals with people in business, avoiding entanglements is impossible.
‘… Let’s gather information first. I need to know anything to start thinking… But how do I gather it?’
Presently, Letticia is just 6 years old. While her mental age has slightly increased due to the reincarnation buff, her language abilities are no different from other children her age.
‘Usually, when you get reincarnated, you get a language buff, right?’
Unfortunately, Letticia was betrayed by the language buff cliché.
Understanding the difficult words used by her parents, gathering information didn’t seem easy for Letticia.
After pondering for a while, the food on Letticia’s plate remained untouched.
After a few bites, she just held the fork and stared blankly.
Mother, who occasionally glanced at her daughter’s plate, looked at her with concern.
“Letty, are you not in the mood to eat? Why aren’t you having more?”
“… Oh! I’ll eat now. I was just lost in thought.”
Letticia, almost skipping her meal due to her thoughts, quickly moved the fork and spoon to have her meal.
Grandfather, observing the slight noise before formal etiquette training, made a contemplative groan before speaking.
“Come to think of it, Letty is already six? Time really flies.”
“Yes. The little one who just took her first steps and ended up turning the whole house upside down by venturing to the garden out of curiosity seems like it was just the other day. She’s grown so much already.”
When the oldest aunt among her parents’ generation chimed in, everyone burst into laughter.
Unlike her more reserved and lazy siblings, Letticia, who was dynamic from an early age, used to cause various incidents around the house.
Of course, they were minor incidents, not extraordinary, just on par with ordinary children.
For instance, lying on top of her brothers’ books, declaring she won’t give them back until they play with her, and eventually falling asleep.
Getting caught trying to feed a rabbit doll instead of eating her carrots, claiming the rabbit doll doesn’t like it either because it tastes terrible.
“Yes, quite lively and energetic, our Letty. Um….”
Grandfather nodded, then suddenly made a bombshell announcement from Letticia’s perspective.
“Well then, it’s about time we call for a private tutor.”
‘A private tutor?!!’
Letticia almost dropped her fork at her grandfather’s shocking declaration.
The happy days of just playing every day seemed to be coming to an end.
From the joy of always being played with by her siblings, now, with the arrival of a private tutor, it felt like the end of carefree days.
“A private tutor? I can barely read the letters. I can only read picture books.”
“Right. Letty doesn’t know anything about history, geography, or anything.”
“She’s always playing, so she probably hasn’t studied anything.”
Letticia’s expression twisted at the unintentional teasing from her twin and older brother.
Unable to refute the truth, she became even more annoyed.
“Then, until the private tutor arrives, you guys should teach Letty for a while. Letty needs to start reading books and studying with her siblings.”
With a smile, her aunt suggested, and internally, Leticia muttered, “Aunt, I hate you,” and reluctantly replied, “Yes.”
Whether it’s a reincarnation or something else, the carefree days of playing were now over.
***
After finishing breakfast, Victoria and Lenard sat Letticia down and began a simple lesson.
Well, calling it a lesson was an exaggeration; it was more like sitting in the library, with snacks in front of them, having a discussion.
“Let’s start with reading. Letty, can you read an entire picture book?”
“I can read Thorny Flower Princess! I memorized it when the governess read it to me.”
Letticia, thinking that being able to read at the age of 6 was something to be proud of, confidently said so. However, Victoria’s expression darkened.
“I was reading that when I was 3…. Mari probably read it by the time she was 4.”
“But sister’s can’t climb trees! I can climb up by myself!”
“Why would nobles climb trees… Anyway, there’s a lot to teach. Let’s start with reading diligently.”
“Sister Tori, how about we focus on history or geography? Even if she can’t read the words, she can memorize them if I explain her verbally.”
Victoria’s face brightened at Lenard’s suggestion.
“Right. Shall we start with the name of our country? Letty, do you know the name of our country?”
“Pontéon!”
As soon as she heard the term “our country,” the name came to Letticia’s mind, and she shouted it out, causing the two to raise their eyebrows.
It seemed to be the right answer, somehow.
“How did you know that? You can’t even read books properly, and you know this?”
“Of course, I know! Do you think I’m a fool?”
“Then what about His Imperial Majesty?”
“What’s His Majesty?”
At the age of only 6, Letticia didn’t understand difficult words in this country’s language. Victoria explained it again using simpler words.
“His Majesty means the name. We address His Imperial Majesty and noble persons with their names like this.”
“Ah. Philip… d? Fon? Anyway, Pontéon!”
After learning the meaning of “majesty,” Letticia tried to recall her original knowledge. However, the name was too long, and she didn’t remember the middle name, so she just added the imperial name.
‘Anyway, in these fantasy novels, the names of imperial family members end up being the empire’s names.’
Letticia was confident. With a suitable country name added to the end of the name, it would undoubtedly be imperial.
“If you go outside and call him like that, you might get dragged away.”
“To be precise, it’s His Imperial Majesty Philip Aston Johannes. Pontéon is the name of the empire, so don’t use it carelessly.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes. And the other nobles…”
Victoria began to recite the titles of the nobles one by one.
Letticia was impressed that Victoria could pronounce those long names without stumbling over her words.
“Oh, come to think of it, how does the Crown Prince look?”
“You should say Crown Prince His Highness. And according to our uncle, they say he has black hair and red eyes.”
This matched the original setting.
Crown Prince Matthias.
Half of the male leads in fantasy novels seem to have that damn pitch-black hair and crimson eyes.
‘But isn’t that a characteristic of the Northern Duke? Crown Prince’s usually had blond hair, if I remember correctly.’
Letticia didn’t know every novel, but clichés were vaguely remembered.
Among male leads, there was usually one with black hair and one with blond hair, and the Crown Prince and the Northern Duke were often rivals.
However, the Northern Duke did not appear in the original, and Matthias was the only male lead.
“But why are you asking about the Crown Prince? Are you interested in him too?”
“Me? Why? I’ve never seen him.”
“Others are interested even if they haven’t seen him. Many girls at the academy talk about him a lot.”
“…. How old is His Highness?”
“He’s the same age as Ren.”
‘Crazy.’
Letticia’s older brother, Lenard, is 10 years old this year. And Victoria is 13 years old this year.
Letticia’s expression soured at the thought of 13-year-old girls cheering for a 10-year-old boy.
“Well, prince’s are always objects of admiration. No matter what the reality is, they always look cool.”
“But he’s only 10?”
“Even if he’s 10. And since people say he’s handsome, that’s how it goes. If he wasn’t, there wouldn’t be this much interest.”
“Well, I guess so.”
Letticia immediately understood.
The decisive factor that distinguishes a bad guy from a bad boy is their face.
No matter how messed up their personality is, if they have a handsome face, they become a romantic stalker, or a possessive male lead in this world.
‘Anyway, I got some useful information.’
The male lead Crown Prince has the appearance and name as per the setting, and the female lead also exists according to the setting.
In other words, this world seems to be similar to the “original” that Letticia remembers.
There’s really no place like this bizarre world.
***
While Victoria and Lenard’s memorable and polite lectures continued, Letticia diligently organized her knowledge from the original work as it came to her.
Writing was not yet familiar to her, but no one tried to inspect when she used the excuse of writing a diary.
It was indeed a wonderful house that even respected the private life of a child.
‘But this is really hard. Even if I remember the original knowledge, it’s useless.’
Letticia was just a 6-year-old noble lady. Even if she had knowledge, there was no way to use it, and she was not in a position to persuade the adults.
Even Lenard, who was now 10 years old, had no speaking rights in this situation, let alone the even younger Letticia.
‘Besides, what can I do with the Duke? Even if I say, “What should I do with the Duke?”…’
In the original work, until Ariette became an adult, Duke Averil rarely came to the capital. He devoted most of the year to managing the territory, and he only visited the capital for about a month a year.
With such a Duke, whether you ask or don’t ask to do something, there is no contact in the first place.
Still, just in case, Letticia summarized all the information she had gathered so far.
‘Firstly, I don’t remember if my name appeared in the original work. So, I’m probably not the villainess, but an extra. Our jewelry appeared.’
