02. Find my male lead!!

백작

Welcome, Duke. How have you been?

홍지수

Yes, I hope you have been well, Count.

백작

I'm like

백작

Oh, this is my daughter, Yeo Ju-eun.

홍지수

I know

홍지수

The sole successor of the Yeo family of the Carat Empire,

홍지수

Because it was rumored to be the most beautiful.

여주은

… ‘What is this again..? ‘

여주은

‘The most beautiful person in the Carat Empire is not me, but the heroine of this world..?’

백작

Well, I'll excuse myself now. Let's talk comfortably.

홍지수

thank you,

여주은

… ‘Father… I’m dying from awkwardness…’

홍지수

I think this is the first time we've met like this

홍지수

Nice to meet you, Joo Eun-yang. My name is Hong Ji-soo, the Duke of the Seven Empires.

홍지수

I hope you're not surprised by my sudden arrival.

여주은

Oh, it's okay

여주은

‘Wow, really.. her personality and face are both pretty..’

여주은

Oh, but Duke..!

홍지수

yes,?

여주은

Well... I'm of a lower rank...

여주은

Why are you speaking formally?

홍지수

I don't want to be treated like that, speaking informally to people just because they are of a lower class, and speaking politely to people of a higher class.

여주은

‘Father, I think I found my spouse.’

여주은

..Then why have you come, Duke..?

홍지수

I've heard from the Count to some extent, so let me get to the point.

홍지수

We would like to invite Joo Eun-yang as our family's Duchess.

여주은

..yes..??

홍지수

Literally, Joo Eun Yang will be my bride.

홍지수

Of course, the Count gave his permission.

여주은

Ugh..

홍지수

..haha I know it's sudden

홍지수

I didn't come here to hear an answer right away.

홍지수

Please think carefully before sending me a letter.

여주은

Yes... Take care...

여주은

Ah.., I shouldn't be doing this right now.. I need to check if this is right..

서 윤

Hey, Miss!! You can't run in the mansion!!

여주은

Sorry! I'm in a bit of a hurry!!

서 윤

Miss, you too...

여주은

Sigh... Where are you?

여주은

… found it…!

여주은

… Huh… ?? Why… did the content change… ??

여주은

What the Duke said... and what I said... are exactly as they are...

여주은

What is this...?

여주은

Isn't this already complete..?

여주은

Can it change..??

여주은

What the heck is going on?

여주은

No, so... I... will accept it..??

여주은

I can't let this go on like this, I'm starting in earnest from today.

여주은

Yooni...

dripping

Miss, may I come in?

여주은

…! You came just in time! Come in!

서 윤

Miss, a letter has arrived from the palace.

여주은

Huh? What is it?

서 윤

A letter has arrived informing all noble ladies of the Carat Empire that they must attend the ball to be held tomorrow.

여주은

Huh?? Really?

서 윤

Yes, my lady,

서 윤

At that ball, everyone from the Baron's wife to the Count's wife gathers.

여주은

But why is it opening?

서 윤

This ball is said to be a ball to find a bride for the Prince of the Carat Empire.

서 윤

So I guess the duke of the neighboring empire is coming too.

여주은

Oh.. this is it…!!

서 윤

yes..?

여주은

Ah.. no!

서 윤

Well then, rest well, miss.

여주은

Good.. This time I'm going to find my male lead..!!

The next day

서 윤

Miss, the sun is high in the sky. You should get up.

여주은

Okay.. I understand..

서 윤

Miss, what time did you go to bed last night?

여주은

Uhm... around 6 o'clock..?

서 윤

Oh my, Miss, it's five hours until the ball. We need to move quickly.

여주은

okay…

서 윤

Then I'll get some bath water.

여주은

Ohhh... It's warm...

서 윤

Is the water temperature right?

여주은

Yeah, that's perfect

서 윤

Okay, then I'll go out and get the dress ready.

여주은

Yuni... said the count from the neighboring country was coming too, right..?

여주은

Well then… I guess I should make it as pretty as possible.

여주은

But who is the prince? I'm curious because he's not mentioned in the book.

서 윤

Miss, you know today is an important day, right?

여주은

Yeah, of course

여주은

So what dress should I wear today?

서 윤

I've prepared it

여주은

Is this it?

서 윤

Yes, this is the most expensive dress in the Carat Empire.

여주은

Hmm... So you used the highest quality fabric.

서 윤

Do you...not like it?

여주은

Huh? No, I like it

여주은

Can I wear it now?

서 윤

Yes, my lady

여주은

okay

서 윤

As expected, you are so pretty

여주은

Ahaha.. I see..

서 윤

Time... Oh my! You have to hurry, miss!! There's only 30 minutes left!

서 윤

Go quickly!!

여주은

..I'm here now..

여주은

..Why don't you have any friends... Ugh..

여주은

No one's paying attention. I guess I should go look around.

여주은

Wow… the study is bigger than a mansion

여주은

There's nothing that isn't there here.

?

Take a slow look around

여주은

Ah.., yes, thank you..

여주은

…? ‘Who is it… Who could it be…’

?

I can tell from your expression that you're curious about who I am.

여주은

..is it Tina..??

?

A little bit

이석민

Hey! Yeo Ju-eun!

여주은

Huh? Lee Seok-min? Why are you here?

이석민

Of course I was invited too~

여주은

Oh, by any chance, you are the Viscount who is close to the prince...

이석민

Yeah, that's right~

여주은

That's ridiculous... How did you become friends with him?

이석민

Hmm... I'll let you know when I catch you~

여주은

Oh, that..!

?

I guess you're close with Seokmin.

여주은

Yeah... a little...

여주은

..? How do you know that he is Lee Seok-min..?

?

I'm also close with Seokmin.

여주은

No.. Seriously, who are you..

?

If you come and hear from Seokmin first,

?

I'll let you know.

여주은

You must let me know!!

?

Okay, I'll let you know.

Romance novels... It's so hard to find backgrounds... The serialization is a bit delayed because I'm looking for pictures...
