69.

As Violet’s heavenly smile spread across her face, Finn’s mouth fell wide open.

Like a broken nutcracker doll.

“Huhhh…”

Fifty million hearts instantly bloomed in his eyes.

‘He’s completely lost it…’

Following Heaven, he too had fallen.

Soon Finn cleared his throat and spoke.

“Ahem. Well, please take care of us, young lady.”

“Me too. And please just call me Violet.”

“Is, is that really okay…?”

“Yes, I’m an employee here, not a noble family’s daughter.”

Violet tucked her long brown hair behind her ear as she added.

“So please treat me comfortably, Senior Finn.”

Her gentle voice resonated softly.

Now even Heaven’s mouth was hanging wide open.

A fly could have flown in and set up house without him noticing.

‘These guys have completely lost their minds, completely…’

I shook my head slightly.

Then I noticed Isadora.

“…?”

For some reason, she was glaring at Violet.

‘Hmm…?’

For a moment I thought I might be seeing things wrong.

But no matter how I looked, Isadora’s eyes were cold.

‘Why? It’s not like Violet did anything wrong.’

I briefly suspected something.

Maybe Isadora was wary of pretty women…

‘But that’s not Dora’s personality at all.’

Finn and Heaven, oblivious to everything, looked blissfully happy.

“I’m Heaven Delgado! Please call me Heaven.”

“Yes, Senior Heaven. I remembered your name because it’s so pretty.”

“Nghhh…”

“Oh, what about my name? What do you think of my name?”

“Senior Finn’s name really suits you too.”

Isadora was like thin ice, while over there it was spring with flowers blooming.

‘So it’s possible to have an ice kingdom on one side and a flower garden on the other in the middle of summer…’

In short, a very strange atmosphere was being created.

Just then, a bell rang from the Center entrance.

Ding.

“Center Director?”

A low voice echoed from behind.

‘…He’s finally here.’

Today’s male protagonist, Lian, had appeared.

Violet, the employees, and I turned toward the entrance.

Lian was walking with the sunlight behind him.

Today too, his gait was leisurely, and his long, well-proportioned figure stood out.

‘Really… it’s amazing no matter how many times I see it.’

His face and body, no matter how much I look, are stunning every time.

‘I still don’t know whose male lead you are, but your visuals are absolutely incredible.’

Lian’s red eyes pointed toward me.

“Center Director, why are you only coming now?”

His eyes curved gently.

However, while facing Lian, I suddenly noticed something strange.

‘…What’s that.’

Because something black was perched on his shoulder.

Soon I recognized what it was.

“…Butterfly?”

It was the black hawk, Butterfly.

‘Wait, what?’

I definitely took him to the Imperial Palace Knights, so why is he here?

‘And with Lian too…’

I asked Lian.

“Lian, why are you carrying a hawk…? I took him home last time.”

I pointed at Butterfly with my index finger.

Then Lian glanced sideways at Butterfly perched on his shoulder.

“Ah…”

“…”

“Don’t know?”

His broad shoulders shrugged annoyingly.

My eyes became a straight line.

‘Excuse me, Lian.’

What do you mean you don’t know.

‘The hawk is sitting on your shoulder, not anywhere else.’

I narrowed my eyes and interrogated Butterfly.

“You… did you secretly escape? That’s it, right.”

Then Butterfly tilted his head.

“Screech?”

…That was habitual acting cute.

‘You understand everything I’m saying but pretend not to.’

With that fierce-looking face.

The problem was that I’d apparently grown attached to Butterfly, because now his cute act actually looked really cute to me.

Actually, I was quite sad when I sent Butterfly away.

‘Maybe because we were together every day for a while, it felt empty without him.’

So I was secretly happy to see him again like this.

Butterfly flew to my shoulder.

“Krik.”

Then he rubbed his beak against my cheek.

Meeting Butterfly suddenly reminded me of the knights’ hideout in the Imperial Palace Forest.

And the scene by the back gate where countless hawks were trapped in cages.

“Never let this hawk loose.”

That’s right.

‘Lian knew about the environment Butterfly was trapped in, and felt sorry for him.’

He must have felt bad that Butterfly got caged again because of me, so he secretly brought him out.

“Don’t know?”

And then he played dumb like this.

‘Is he pretending not to know because he’s embarrassed?’

I subtly looked Lian over.

He looks like someone who wouldn’t care about animals or any living things at all.

‘…But he’s actually pure and kind-hearted.’

I smacked my lips as if feeling somewhat bitter.

Thump, thump.

I could feel the sound of my heart beating beneath my chest.

“Ahem.”

I cleared my throat and pulled myself together.

Violet’s gaze had been fixed on exactly one spot since earlier.

‘She’s looking at Lian.’

Her light purple eyes rippled like the surface of water.

‘Come to think of it, I haven’t introduced Violet to Lian yet.’

I opened my mouth.

“Mr. Lian, this person is starting today…”

“Hello, Sir Lian.”

That’s when it happened.

Suddenly Violet spoke up.

“I’m Violet Bringer.”

“…”

“I’ll be working as an employee at the Center starting today. Please treat me well.”

She grasped the hem of her dress and gently bent her knees.

Certainly… it was a different greeting from what she had given the other employees.

‘She’s incredibly proactive.’

Her eyes were sparkling with life, and her voice was much louder than before.

The image of Violet I had seen during Johan’s love manipulation flashed through my mind.

“Me too. I didn’t expect to see the Marquis here today…”

I thought she was just a kind and shy person.

‘I didn’t know she could be this proactive.’

I realized once again.

‘Violet really likes Lian a lot.’

Then a corner of my heart felt sour.

Suddenly, all the events up until now passed through my mind like a panorama.

‘I’m getting a little sad.’

Why do I always have to connect the men I like with other women?

“I need to raise Johan!”

I simply started the game to see my favorite character, then got forcibly possessed.

Lost my memories.

“May I… make a request?”

Finally found my memories after 19 years…

But had Johan, the character I chose, taken away so futilely.

“…I don’t dislike it.”

Just when I was starting to think Lian was nice, he’s being taken away too.

“I saw Sir Lian at the ball and fell in love with him at first sight.”

Everything, to Violet Bringer.

Following my sinking mood, my shoulders drooped.

‘…No, let’s not engage in pointless jealousy.’

Actually, nothing was taken away from me.

‘Johan and Lian, I was never in a special relationship with either of them.’

Everything was just jealousy and delusion I had created myself.

I tried to act nonchalant.

“Mr. Lian, you’ll be working with Lady Bringer starting today.”

“…”

“So… Mr. Lian, you’re no longer the youngest.”

While speaking, I suddenly realized.

‘…That’s right.’

Lian is no longer the youngest.

With Violet’s arrival, I could no longer call him the youngest.

‘Something… feels really strange.’

Until recently, I thought of Lian as the weird youngest employee.

‘I was worried about how to make this weird youngest employee resign.’

But… now that this strange Lian was no longer the youngest, I felt empty.

A hollow feeling, I suppose.

It felt vacant, as if I had lost something important.

‘I guess I got used to it.’

I must have grown attached to this strange youngest employee while complaining about him.

After pausing for a moment, I slowly added.

“…Congratulations on getting a direct subordinate.”

Lian didn’t answer.

He just quietly stared at me in that state.

Even though Violet had introduced herself to him, even though I had been rambling.

After maintaining his silence for a while, Lian suddenly took a step toward me.

“Center Director.”

He had an unusually serious expression.

As if he had something important to say.
