The Fake Wants to Leave

Charlize was in a better mood.

 

Whether Eugene, Tia or Jeremy comes.

 

She had a line tailored to every situation for everyone.

 

Charlize had a better memory than she thought.

 

She was a young lady who could memorise everything she once watched and listened to.

 

That’s why she picked up everything Lena said and used it like this.

 

To be the only villain.

 

Jeremy told her that Eugene was going to hold a celebration party soon because they couldn’t celebrate Tia’s birthday properly.

 

She was glad that Eugene was showing affection for Tia.

 

In the morning, Charlize took her time enjoying her tea.

 

The celebration party is the best part of the novel.

 

“Miss Charlize, isn’t it too peaceful?”

 

“Peace is good.”

 

“But I’m worried that the Great Devil of Miss Charlize suddenly disappeared.”

 

“He’ll be back. Lua would not betray me.”

 

“How can you be so sure?”

 

“Just. My keen sense?”

 

Charlize had not seen Lua since she came to Duke Rebecca from the island of the sick.

 

There is only the feeling of the contractual relationship, but Lua did not appear in front of Charlize.

 

Charlize could understand Lua’s behaviour.

 

He was probably wandering around enjoying the moment of freedom.

 

“What does Miss Charlize think of the Great Devil?”

 

When asked out of the blue by Lena, Charlize stopped sipping the black tea.

 

“My saviour.”

 

“Since he’s your saviour, you must like him a lot, right? Are you two going to get married?”

 

“I haven’t really thought about marriage. I just want him next to me for the peace of my heart.”

 

“What about Tia? Do you not like the Saintess?”

 

“Tia is annoying. But if I want to keep the balance between good and evil, I must also pay attention to Tia. Of course, when this dog-like scenario is over.”

 

“It’s great that the Master is quick witted and doesn’t run away from responsibility.”

 

Lena said, stretching her arms up.

 

“Because there’s only one place to go now. Where would I run away? I want to leave this world but can’t.”

 

“Don’t overdo it, Miss Charlize. You’re doing enough. If you’re tired, you would want to run away.”

 

Thinking of Grace in the past, Lena gave Charlize rough advice.

 

She knew Charlize would heed her advice.

 

Knock, knock.

 

Someone knocked on Charlize’s door.

 

Recently, Tia had tried to come to Charlize’s room, but she had not let her into the room.

 

It was for to let the female protagonist follow the plot.

 

But it was annoying that the characters didn’t want to follow the plot.

 

Charlize rose from her seat and opened the door roughly.

 

But whom she saw wasn’t whom she was expecting.

 

Eugene Rebecca.

 

It was her eldest brother, the Duke.

 

“Why did Brother Eugene come to my room?”

 

“I’m here to invite you to Tia’s birthday banquet by myself.”

 

“Did you have to do it by yourself? You could ask the maids.”

 

“I came to tell you something.”

 

“What is it? Oh, I’m sorry. We’re not close enough to bring Brother into the room, so please say it here.”

 

“Alright.”

 

After Tia returned, Eugene observed Charlize’s behaviour.

 

He couldn’t see the Great Devil with her and she was quietly staying in her room. Eugene didn’t wish her to start making trouble again since it’s better this way, so he also let her be.

 

However, something happened today.

 

The delirious Jeremy completely blew up all the information about Charlize.

 

What, possessed?

 

Really? Fake?

 

Eugene didn’t believe Jeremy.

 

Who would listen to a madman?

 

However, seeing that Tia was depressed because she couldn’t visit Charlize recently, more like Charlize didn’t let her, he thought about Jeremy’s words and recklessly came to visit Charlize.

 

At the sight of Tia desperately wanting to meet her tormentor, Eugene decided that the root of all this evil was Charlize.

 

Before it was Tia, now Jeremy too.

 

They were his precious family.

 

Unlike someone.

 

“Jeremy told me.”

 

“What did he say?”

 

Charlize’s expression was relaxed even though Jeremy’s name popped out of Eugene’s mouth.

 

Who believes what Jeremy, that crazy guy says.

 

“You’re a fake. You possessed the body of Charlize and the real Charlize is dead.”

 

“Brother Jeremy has been a big fan of novels since a long time ago. And they’re all crazy novels, too. It seems to have quite an influence on him. I’m Charlize Rebecca. How can someone else get into my body? And I’m alive and breathing well. How could I be dead?”

 

“But Jeremy said so. You’re already dead.”

 

“Please take care of Brother Jeremy. Not only has he gone crazy he’s also driving everyone crazy.”

 

“I also don’t believe what a crazy person says. However, I have no choice but to deliver the invitation myself because you seem to have no care for your family.”

 

“Oh, my god. Since when did I say I have no care for the family anymore? I care for the dukedom a lot.”

 

“So who are you?”

 

“What are you talking about, Brother Eugene?”

 

“Charlize is so afraid of demons that she runs away if Jeremy pretends to be a demon. I have seen it happening a few times. I’ve seen you running around crying and saying, ‘Big Brother help me. The demon is too scary’.”

 

“What did you say?”

 

“You’ve been afraid of demons since a young age. That’s why I locked you underground with a scary demon. But you signed a contract with the demon. Now that I think about it, it’s a little strange.”

 

“What was scary in the past might not be scary to me now. People change. Are you out of excuses now?”

 

“What do you mean people change? I just said it because it reminded me of the old days.”

 

In fact, Eugene agonised for quite a long time after hearing Jeremy’s deranged words.

 

He wondered if Jeremy had really gone crazy.

 

As Jeremy says, if Charlize was a fake.

 

How did she know where Tia was? There’s also this question why she kept trying to commit suicide.

 

The more he thought about Charlize the more questions rose.

 

So instead of directly asking her, he wanted to have a smooth conversation as if the water was flowing.

 

“I’m tired. Since I received the invitation myself, would you like to go back? You must want to be with Tia rather than me right now. I’ll behave myself at the banquet.”

 

“Oh, at the mention of Tia, she’s dying to see you.”

 

“Please tell her that she can see me at the banquet.”

 

“Tell her yourself. You’re good at things like that. Especially when it comes to Tia.”

 

“What are you talking about? I can’t think of anything to say to her.”

 

“In the old days, Charlize couldn’t stand Tia smiling. If Tia was happy, you would want to kill her. It’s a little strange that you’re so calm right now.”

 

“Do you want me to behave like the old days? Then I’ll become a villainess again. Just as Brother Eugene wants.”

 

Wait, what did Jeremy say?

 

A villainess.

 

Yeah, a villainess.

 

And she even ordered him to love Tia.

 

“You know Charlize, do you think Tia and I look good together?”

 

“Of course you do. Why do you ask?”

 

“Should I love Tia too?”

 

“If that’s what Brother wants. Why are you asking me that?”

 

“Jeremy told me something similar. He said you ordered him to love Tia with his eyes wide open as if he was having a seizure.”

 

F***ing Jeremy.

 

Charlize’s golden eyes sank coldly.

 

Did he say everything?

 

Haa, life.

 

I shouldn’t have trusted Jeremy.

 

‘It’s my fault that I trusted a man with such an unstable mind. Who do I have to blame?’

 

Eugene, who quickly found out that Charlize’s atmosphere had darkened rapidly, caught her off guard.

 

“Then will you also give me orders to love Tia?”

 

“You and Tia were separated from each other for a long time. So it depends on you if you want to love her or not. Do whatever you want.”

 

Charlize was smiling, but it didn’t reach her eyes.

 

The dim smile lingered at the corner of her lips for a moment and then disappeared.

 

“Ha, is it your goal to bring down our family?”

 

Eugene asked Charlize with his usual cold face.

 

Charlize shrugged. Eugene couldn’t understand if she was showing agreement to his statement or not.

 

“Let me ask you again. Are you really Charlize?”

 

“I’m really Charlize. Why do you keep insisting that I’m fake? I’ll start laughing if you continue to insist that.”

 

“But why are you so calm? Have you thought of turning into a good person?”

 

“I’m going to be past me again if the situation asks for it. I’m resting now.”

 

With a cheeky smile, Charlize tried to close the door since she didn’t want to speak to Eugene anymore.

 

But Eugene’s response was quicker.

 

He grabbed the handle of the door.

 

Charlize’s eyebrows went up.

 

“What’s wrong with you now? Weren’t you someone who wasn’t even interested in me before? Stop bothering me and go to Tia. Behave like you used to behave Brother Eugene. Stop paying attention to me.”

 

“No, you’re also a part of my family in your own way, so I have to pay attention. From now on, I will pay more attention.”

 

At Eugene’s provocation, Charlize lost her composure.

 

What’s wrong with the male protagonist #1 all of a sudden?

 

I just want them to leave me alone.
