The Male Lead isn't Following the Script!
Adeline didn't expect she would transmigrate into the trashy novel she read years ago. The plot was so cliched that she couldn't bring herself to finish it. Years later, she found that very book on her bed, the page was open to the villainess' execution and before she knew it she found herself in the very novel she hated. The evil villainess who couldn't stand her two childhood friends become completely enamoured by the female lead, she decided to take care of the matter herself and thus became the public enemy. She now became the villainess of the story! "I do not accept this!" Adeline yelled at the top of her lungs. "I will change the plot." The Crown Prince she rejected won't leave her alone. The cold Northern Duke clung to her and wouldn't let go. The Arch Mage wants to abandon his duties and serve as her personal knight, and the Head Priest is obsessed with her! The Male leads she wished to avoid won't leave her alone! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Obsessive male lead- check. Funny but strong female lead- check. Amazing family- check. Annoying Goddess- also check.
My Fight
How dare an insolent child like her try to challenge him? Hiding behind her father's name... He scoffed, he wasn't here, how was he going to protect her?!
Losing control over his child, having to eliminate Alice, the damned assassin who dared to cross him, his own wife who pushed him to the brink, and those children... Those damned children who came as guests but slowly tore down everything he worked hard to build.
The room felt heavy even after the Duke stormed out, slamming the door in a final act of defiance. The silence that followed was deafening. It was awkward and sad.
They were uncertain about where to go from here. They looked at each other, the one who felt most out of place was the assassin.
Everett was the first to break the silence. His gaze fell upon the assassin- his eyes a mixture of anger, sadness, and helplessness. He wanted to scream, he wanted to cry, and he knew that his father was the one behind all of this.
