Chapter 132: Volume 9 - CH 6

I Will Avoid the Male Lead and Make a Harem

Surprised by his calm response, I stopped my hands.

Don’t tell me……

‘Is there a kid he raised secretly somewhere?’

Considering Selina’s biological father, who sowed seeds here and there, I couldn’t help but doubt him.

“I have you.”

“M-me… you mean me?”

“Yes.”

Cedric, smiling, grabbed me by the shoulder as if he were a very trustworthy man.

“You can lead our family.”

But I don’t want to!

“I would never marry, even for your sake.”

“……”

Feeling ridiculous, I stared blankly at Cedric.

So he meant that even if my name has changed from Crawford, he still would give me this county.

For example, if I marry Valhail, I will become Selina Castaquez.

But when Cedric, the lord, dies without children, the county eventually comes to me.

But I don’t want to spend my life in the West!

‘But then the Count of Crawford will change to Count of Castaquez.’

Are you going to accept that?

I am grateful that he handed over his honor and all his property to me, who is not even his biological child, but I don’t want it.

“You don’t have to do that.”

I calmly lowered my gaze and put the cuffs on again.

“Try to make use of this banquet and make friends with the noble ladies. Just ask them to go boating to Aina together or whatever it is.”

I heard that there is a big lake in Aina.

In the first place, a farm was created there because it could be irrigated.

“So women like that kind of thing.”

“Because the scenery is nice.”

Since then, I haven’t really said anything about what was on my mind.

Cedric looked back at me just before he went to the banquet hall and clapped his lips with difficulty.

“You…… Do you want to go boating, too?”

I was wondering what the hell he was going to say.

As if he was sorry that he never played with me when I was young, Cedric would sometimes present me with things like candy and stuffed toys that kids liked.

Looking at that, it was obvious that he regarded me as a very young kid.

“Have a good time.”

I laughed awkwardly and pushed him into the banquet hall.

“Oh, that portrait belongs to Lady of Crawford.”

“So beautiful.”

The banquet had a noble atmosphere, with a painting in the middle, sharing each other’s impressions.

It was crowded with noble ladies who had come to see Cedric for the first time in a long time.

And there Camilla was completely heartbroken.

Cedric should have held her hand and entered the banquet hall, but he didn’t.

“Lord Crawford, have you heard yet? We are leaving for the capital tomorrow.”

“The Countess will also go with us.”

He was surrounded by ladies who were trying to talk to him at all costs.

“I hope you have a wonderful trip.”

Cedric was busy answering awkwardly among the women who came near his shoulder.

“Oh, you are very gentlemanly.”

“How can you be so polite?”

The other ladies approached Camilla, who was sitting with a chewed-up face.

“Countess, Adrian, that boy resembles Lord Crawford a lot in his calm and quiet nature.”

“Oh, should I address him as Lord Berry now?”

“There are many Lord Berry in the West, so we must address him completely.”

They were being sarcastic about Adrian’s origin.

Camilla glared sharply, and the lady quickly turned around.

“Didn’t Lady Crawford attend today’s banquet?”

“Unfortunately, she’s not feeling well.”

“I really wanted to see her, but it’s a shame. Because the portrait is really beautiful.”

“Her birthday is coming soon, so we might be able to see her then, right? She will be an adult this birthday.”

“Sure.”

Camilla didn’t hide her discomfort and responded with a cold voice.

“Lady Shannon also has grown beyond recognition.”

This time it was Viscountess Fitzroy.

“How can you be so beautiful even after giving birth to twins?”

She crept up to Camilla like a venomous snake and sat down to talk to her.

“The more I see it, the more fascinating it is.”

“I was born with it. You must be amazed, Viscountess.”

Flick!

Camilla shamelessly retorted, then flicked her finger.

“Lord Valhail!”

At the same time, everyone’s eyes were gathered in one place.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a man with a huge halo appeared next to Camilla.

The Viscountess of Fitzroy was almost at a loss. It was because of his face.

“I can’t believe such a handsome man exists in the world……”

The thoughts in her head naturally came out of her mouth.

Raising her chin, Camilla said with a confident face, as if she wanted everyone to hear.

“My shoes are uncomfortable, can you help me?”
