79.

Before possessing 【Male Lead Maker】, I was a heavy web novel reader.

[VIP Johan-love, who purchased over 3,000 episodes this month! We’ll give you 5,000 points.]

I really read enough novels to deserve the VIP title.

And I had sampled even more novels than that.

So I knew the characteristics of web novel male leads well.

‘Usually male leads tend to be more serious and cold than female leads.’

As such, they all possessed ‘narratives’ that inevitably made their personalities turn out that way.

The so-called ‘dark past’.

Most of them were things like this.

Mental and physical abuse that occurred from childhood.

The absence of parents who should have shaped their character.

‘Repeated threats to their life or obsessions due to an unstable future, etc…’

Through various incidents, the male leads became devastated and prickly.

Even if they were #innocent guys, they would transform into #prickly guys, #bad boys, etc. in the process of becoming adults.

‘This is what you call a ‘cliché’.’

But Castillian was different.

‘Because he didn’t have the commonly assigned gloomy narrative.’

That bastard was a male lead who pushed forward with only one unique setting of not being able to feel pain.

He had no past of being abused, and his parents were alive and well.

‘Rather, he grew up comfortably in the wealthy Imperial Palace, receiving everyone’s attention.’

Castillian simply had a severe complex about being different from others.

That’s what made him collapse and despair.

I had never seen such a male lead before 【The Prince’s Sleeping Quarters】 came out.

‘That’s why that bastard was so special…’

But what is this.

“You don’t know how to feel pain.”

“…”

“Since I was young… No, since I was born.”

Lian has the exact same setting as Castillian?

‘They’re both million-seller male leads…’

Not only are their names similar, but this overlaps too?

I quickly recalled the million-seller list in my head.

Of course, I didn’t remember every single novel.

‘…I’m certain.’

Castillian was the only male lead with the characteristic of congenital analgesia.

Once again, the suspicion I had buried in a corner of my heart surfaced.

‘…Could Lian be…’

Could he possibly be Castillian?

“…”

I stared at Lian blankly.

His handsome features, blood-red eyes.

The events with him began passing by like a panorama.

“What’s with someone like The Prince?”

When everyone called Castillian ‘Your Highness The Prince’ with respect, Lian didn’t.

‘Back then I thought Lian was a foreigner so he didn’t know better…’

Was that… because it would be awkward to address himself with honorifics.

Also, Lian revealed that he was ‘The Prince’s friend’.

“I’m The Prince’s friend, you know.”

And he had the staff allowed into the Imperial Palace by asking The Prince.

‘That process itself was too smooth.’

I just assumed Lian must be very close with The Prince.

‘But if the reason was actually because he himself was The Prince…?’

I also recalled what happened on the Imperial Palace Terrace.

“You were the prettiest at the ball. I couldn’t take my eyes off you because I could only see you.”

“…”

“Not for a single moment.”

At that moment, Lian’s words felt so sincere.

‘It was strange.’

He hadn’t come to the ball, yet he spoke as if he had seen me himself.

The reason I felt that way was…

“…is what The Prince asked me to tell you.”

If it was because Lian, who was The Prince, was directly telling me his own thoughts.

‘No… not Lian.’

Castillian.

“…”

Come to think of it… there had been quite a few suspicions I’d harbored all along.

And when I considered Lian to be Castillian, they all resolved as if finding the last puzzle piece.

‘Castillian deliberately wearing a mask when making his first official public appearance.’

Taking me to his own room instead of the guest room.

Him even calling the doctor for me.

‘I found it strange that such a selfish bastard would take care of me whom he met for the first time that day…’

And never letting me hear his real voice in the end.

When I asked about Lian’s whereabouts, he suddenly stormed out of the room…

‘At the time I thought he went to tell Lian about the ball incident.’

But if that wasn’t it… if he had changed clothes and come back during that time.

‘If that’s why he looked disheveled as if he had rushed out in a hurry.’

Then… it would make sense.

“I overslept.”

Lian didn’t oversleep on the ball day, but couldn’t participate in the operation because he had entered as ‘Castillian’.

‘He actually did attend the ball.’

That’s why he spoke as if he had been watching me.

“Why are you out here? Well, that’s not my room.”

“What does that matter? I told you to rest comfortably.”

“Still. Either way, I have to return to the banquet hall, and I’m not really hurt so I got up…”

“I clearly told you to rest. But what if you’re already walking around.”

Now I understood why Lian had suddenly gotten angry at me.

Also, I thought of Roderick.

“Chase hyung, me, Rosi hyung, Lian hyung. The four of us were really close.”

He alternated between talking about Lian and Castillian.

Making it confusing to tell who he was talking about.

Now I understand why he did that…

“Is The Prince’s nickname Lian…?”

“Huh? You didn’t know?”

“No.”

“Why don’t you know?”

It wasn’t because Roderick was scattered…

‘He was talking about one person from the beginning.’

I was just confused because I didn’t know Lian and Castillian were the same person.

Realizing too many things at once made me feel dizzy.

“….”

I studied Lian’s face.

‘That bastard in front of me right now… is Castillian?’

Then I unconsciously shook my head.

“…No.”

There’s no way that could be true.

Though countless circumstantial evidence existed, it was hard to believe outright.

‘Their personalities are too different.’

The Castillian I know is someone who doesn’t have even an ant’s eye booger worth of Chase’s temperament.

He was a person who could absolutely never become like that, no matter what happened.

“Siena, look at me.”

Moreover, lately Lian keeps acting cute….

I briefly tried to imagine Castillian acting cute.

‘…Has my brain turned to stone.’

I couldn’t think of anything.

Anyway, the conclusion I reached was this.

‘That Castillian bastard with an atmosphere and presence weighing about 1 ton could never act like Lian.’

To emphasize, I wasn’t doing this because I was unnecessarily suspicious.

『”Cry. Just like you did clinging to me last night.”

“….”

“A hoarse voice suits you.”』

This crazy obsessive maniac from the novel.

“Oh my, oh my, Center Director….”

“….”

“Looking at my face like that every day, do you want to see it again now?”

And this airheaded idiot are the same person?

‘It would be stranger to believe this easily…!’

Besides, the idea of Castillian acting like Chase was ridiculous.

‘Why would he imitate my brother…?’

There’s no reason he’d need to do that.

‘He’s absolutely not the type to do that either.’

And…the biggest reason I couldn’t rashly be certain.

‘Hair color.’

It was the fact that Lian has black hair while Castillian has blonde hair.

Lian’s hair was definitely not a wig.

‘Then is it dyed…?’

No…, that doesn’t make sense either.

Whatever the case, it couldn’t be possible to change hair color back and forth in such a short time.

Also, isn’t Castillian The Prince.

‘Can royalty freely roam around outside the Imperial Palace like this…?’

Lian comes to work punctually at exactly 9 o’clock every day.

“Hah….”

I let out a small sigh.

‘Clearly, thinking about everything that’s happened, Lian should be Castillian….’

Between the hair color and personality, there wasn’t just one or two things that didn’t add up.

‘What exactly should I think of this bastard in front of me….’

That’s when it happened.

“Siena.”

Suddenly a heavy voice reached me.

That voice that sometimes made me think ‘why does he sound so much like Castillian.’

“…Am I strange?”
