J'ai trouvé un mari quand j'ai pris le rôle masculin - Chapitre 21

There was one book that caught Werazel’s attention among the books on the high shelf.

[Make 10 billion shillings with 10,000 shillings]

A book like this can be found in the bookshelf of Duke Halos, the richest man in the Empire?

Maybe this book helped the duke’s wealth to build up, droite?

She forgot she was playing hide-and-seek for a moment and dragged the ladder at the end of the bookshelf.

She climbed the ladder. When she reached the place it was located, she pulled out the book and a cloud of dust fluttered. It had been a while since anyone read it so it accumulated a lot of dust. She looked at the book in her hand.

[You can get rich too!]

It was a powerful one-liner phrase describing the book.

Let’s take a look inside.

Once I pay off the debt by receiving the reward money, j'aurai 20 million shillings left, so if I could increase that money, I might be able to play and eat forever.

It was at that moment when Lizelle laughed greedily and opened the book. She did not notice the old ladder she was standing on was shaking and was leaning back.

Craquer.

"Hein? Hein?!" Surpris, Werazel hurriedly tried to keep her balance, but her body was going backwards with the ladder.

She closed her eyes in fright.

"Ahhh!"

The moment she was about to fall, she felt a hard arm wrapped around her back and knees.

An ‘arm’?

She opened her eyes dazedly.

"Attendre! Quoi?!"

Quand elle est venue, she saw Chester holding her. Their faces close enough to feel each other’s breath.

The moment she was conscious of it, the embarrassed Lizelle struggled to stay away.

“Get me down! Get me down!"

Chester dropped Lizelle on the floor without a frown, even though she might be heavy and was struggling earlier.

Standing on both feet, Lizelle straightened her crumpled dress with her hands several times.

"Je suis désolé. I didn’t mean to come in, but I was wondering if Lapel was hiding here.”

Dans tous les cas, she was the one who came in without permission, so Lizelle quickly assessed the situation and apologized to him.

“The child has never entered.”

Chester was looking at Lizelle with an unsettled expression.

He was looking for a book at the far end of the bookshelf. Puis, he suddenly heard some movement, and when he saw her standing on the ladder, she was already falling backwards.

He cannot leave her alone because she could have been seriously hurt, so he immediately caught her from behind..

"Oh, I see… Thanks anyway. Merci à toi, I didn’t get hurt.”

"..."

Une bonne a sorti une paire de ciseaux pointus d'un tiroir et les a placés sur la table devant le canapé, I’ll go out.”

Lizelle hurriedly turned to get out of this terribly awkward position. She did not intend that to happen and it was pretty embarrassing to be held in his arms.

It was even a princess carry!

Encore une fois, the scene came to her mind, and she trembled. There were goose bumps on her arms.

Lizelle, who was almost running away to get out of the library, suddenly turned around as if she had remembered something.

“Is your wound healed now?” She looked at Chester’s hands and smiled.

Oh, looks like the wound on his hand had healed before I knew it. I guess it was helpful that I brought him the medicine kit.

À ce moment là, the expression on Chester’s face became unreadable. Because Werazel remembered the wound that he dressed for about a few times and forgot.

“The next time you got hurt, better disinfect it right away. You might really get tetanus next time if you don’t,” said Werazel as she was leaving the library.

Chester looked at his hand.

son corps nerveux sursauta à ce moment, treated as she had instructed him, were unblemished and without a scratch.

He did not even know what a tetanus is, but he didn’t hate her attention to it.

je ne sais pas pourquoi, but maybe because she cared.

Chester, finally left alone, picked up the book that had fallen to the floor.

[Make 10 billion shillings with 10,000 shillings]

It was a book with a fairly captivating title. It was a book he was unfamiliar with and made him wonder how such book was on the shelf.

Did she climb the ladder to see this book?

You’re not into luxury anymore but interested in investment?

He chuckled because he felt bewildered and amazed by her choice among many books.

***

“Lapel!"

Lizelle came down to the first floor to find Lapel again.

I had forgotten that I was playing hide-and-seek because of that book.

Lapel must be eagerly waiting for her to find him…

“Hihihihi!"

Lizelle, who was looking around desperately, turned to the sound of Lapel’s laughter.

It seemed to be coming from the dining area.

He went to the dining area alone to hide?

His skill in hiding is getting better day by day.

Lizelle stepped into the dining room while complimenting Lapel in her mind.

"Il neige!"

She heard gleeful shouts from the kitchen side.

“Lapel, êtes-vous ici?"

When Lizelle went into the kitchen looking for Lapel, there was a little boy smiling happily while covered in flour.

“Lizelle!"

His fine black hair was covered with flour turning it white and only clear, gros, red eyes were floating and seen on his powdery white face.

“What is this…”

The kitchen was a mess. The floor was scattered with flour, and there were two people in front of Lapel while he was playing around with flour.

They were also covered with flour just like him.

”Mister butler? “Lizelle recognized Lohan and opened her eyes wide.

"Ah, young miss” Lohan quickly stood up, embarrassé.

Molly, qui était à côté de lui, also stood up in a hurry.

“Lizelle! It’s snow, it’s snow!"

Only Lapel was left sitting on the floor, holding a handful of flour and sprinkling it in the air.

She only then understood why the kitchen had become this way. It seemed that Lapel mistook the pure white flour as snow from the snowglobe she had given him.

You’ve had a hard time. Je suis désolé…

Looking at the two people with pitiful eyes, Lizelle approached Lapel.

“Lapel, je vous ai trouvé,” Lizelle said, poking the boy’s cute cheek with her finger.

« Héhé, allons-y!” Lapel, who already played as much as he wanted, stretched out his arms towards Lizelle.

Lizelle carried him, shook off the flour off his clothes, and hugged his little body.

ce mariage a été décidé avant ta naissance, as soon as he was hugged by Lizelle, Lapel yawned with his mouth wide open.

"Je suis désolé. It seems like you have to clean up.”

"Ne t'inquiète pas, we will clean up here, Mademoiselle."

Lizelle thanked them and left the kitchen with Lapel.

The “naughty” Lapel blinked his heavy eyelids while in Lizelle’s cozy arms.

“Did Lapel have fun?"

"Oui….. Let’s do it again tomorrow…” his little lips mumbled. It sounded like whisper.

Lizelle gently smiled and stroked his hair.

It was a very pleasant day today, Lapel thought before he fell asleep.

And the child soon slept in the arms of the soft Lizelle.

***

Cette nuit.

Something moved leisurely in the dark night. The creature arrived in front of the ducal residence and with a quick movement, jumped high.

The creature that stood on top of the wall looked around and then jumped back down to the ground.

“Don’t fall asleep.”

"Oui, oui."

The knights who were closely guarding the gates of the Duke to make sure there were no intruders knew nothing.

It had a small body that cannot be caught by strict security, and its soft hair fluttered when it leapt with its four feet.

Après avoir couru longtemps, the creature finally reached in front of the mansion, and looked around thoroughly. Even if he had run for a long time, he did not feel tired, let alone look like one.

As the creature was wandering around, it found a window that was slightly open, and his long pupils expanded.

The gap was very small, mais c'était bien.

The creature poked its face through the window. Its front paws and button nose went in first, followed by both its ears. Puis, the very flexible body came in smoothly even when it was pressed tightly into the narrow gap like a boneless octopus.

When the body and the hind feet passed through, his long swishing tail followed.

The creature gently came down from the window with its long tail. It quickly entered the mansion and slowly approached the person walking from far away.

“I’m going to be late.” Kay, who had stopped by his home, was walking quickly to return to work.

"Miaou."

Kay lowered the magic lantern when he heard a sudden cry.

A cat was standing in the hallway, its eyes reflecting the glow from the lantern

“A cat?"

"Miaou."

"Comment êtes-vous arrivés ici?"

The cat slowly approached Kay and rubbed his face on his leg.

"Miaou."

“I’m sorry but I have to go.”

With its cute act, Kay was helpless. He gently held the cat with both hands.

Upon close inspection, he discerned that it was a white cat with odd eyes.

It seemed to have an owner because it wore a collar around its neck. The collar was studded with a ruby-like jewel.

"Je suis désolé. I’ll let you out so you can find your master.”

"Miaou."

Kay was about to step toward the window in the hallway however…

“Nya!"

The jewel on the collar and the cat’s odd eyes flashed together.

Dans un instant, Kay was sucked into the jewel.

Alors.

The magic lantern that Kay was holding fell to the floor. When the knight disappeared, the cat gently landed on the ground.

It touched the jewel on the collar with his paw.

Comme par magie, the cat turned into a person in the blink of an eye.

"Ouf."

The cat who is now Kay exhaled. His odd eyes flashed in the dark.

Soudainement, his eyes turned black, unlike the usual.

Bientôt, he picked up the magic lantern that fell on the floor and walked leisurely down the hall as if nothing had happened.
