Celebrity Lady

Molga said with glimmering eyes.

“Of course.
Who gave birth to you both?”

There were a lot of people who made contracts with low-level spirits.
She needed a spirit that could wield a little more power.

‘As long as there’s a spirit that grants wishes…’

The days of living with the hard-to-remove stigma of being a mistress and spying on the duke’s family will come to an end.

There is no wish that the spirit could not grant…

Molga’s children would be all above the duke.
The emperor would be envious.

“Mom believes in my babies.”

“Yes!”

“Yes, yes!”

Molga smiled and hugged the twins, who answered vigorously.

In her eyes, as always, a fierce desire flashed.

A flash of light opened my eyes.

I said to Wisht, who was looking down at me with a worried expression.

“Why do I dream like this?”

“What dream did you have?”

“I had a dream that I was going on an outing to Jeju Island with my dad.
I’m on a diet, but I went to a restaurant and ordered a lamb steak course, right? I emptied it all without leaving any dessert.
It was so good that I even licked the bowl.”

“It was a good dream.”

“What? I’m getting goosebumps thinking about how I ate so much.
I’m glad it was just a dream.”

After having a face-to-face meal with my dad, we went flower viewing and watched a play together.

I think he said something, but the dad in my dream had a friendly expression that he would never have made in real life, and he smiled the whole time saying he liked anything.

I was flustered, but…

“But it must have been the reality that Rubette wanted.
It’s ridiculous, but I feel much better now after seeing that.”

“That’s a good thing.”

“And I’m sorry.”

As soon as I apologized, Wisht’s eyes widened.

“What?”

“You told me not to worry, but I showed you my weakness.
I didn’t expect it.
I didn’t know my body would react to her name.
”

“……..”

Wisht paused, and with a sigh, placed its hand from its chin on top of my head.

“It’s something I expected from the moment you absorbed Rubette’s memories.
Take good care of your heart.
Do not apologize for this.”

“Come to think of it, I did something rude to my dad too.”

I was rebelling against my indifferent dad, who would not pay attention to me.

‘Is it true that you begged for a hug? I’m so embarrassed.’

I shook my head.

Bump–!

“Surprise!”

The door opened without notice and a familiar face appeared.

‘Dad?’

Dad seemed to have returned to his childhood in that short bob…

‘Will you go back?’

…Not going.

‘Why is Brother in my room?’

It was the first brother, Viego Diollus, who was the first person I saw after I woke up as Rubette.

Viego, who was on par with his father, was breathing heavily with a disheveled look as if he had run in a hurry.

“Brother.”

“……..”

Viego, standing still by the door, stared at me, and then,

“You look fine.”

After saying that one sentence, he closed the door and left.

“No, I…”

My hand, which was hesitating in the air to catch him, fell.

“Ugh, that jerk.”

I let out a sigh at the brief meeting that lasted less than 10 seconds.

“The young master came out carrying you, who had fallen, and called the doctor, and made a scene, so he must have come because he was worried.”

“So what was he doing?”

I laid down and clicked my tongue.

Viego Diollus.

Neither good nor bad.
My eldest brother, who I have no memories of being kind or friendly to me.

If I had to describe him in one word, he is deeply grateful to Molga, who raised his three siblings on behalf of his mother who died when he was a child.

‘Stupid.’

Viego believed in Molga’s gentle face all his life, listened to everything she said and cherished the twins.

Because I thought that while taking care of us three siblings, the twins, who were her real children, grew up sharing the love from Molga.

It was kind of a debt.

‘You have no wits, you idiot.’

For him, his priority was always Ricky and Lilia, not his younger siblings Nana and Victor.

‘A foolish ally is sometimes more dangerous than a smart foe.’

I sighed as I looked at the door Viego had closed and left.

Even though Rubette had been tormented by Molga for the rest of her life, she was unable to speak up about the abuse, thanks to the foolish ally Viego.

Viego, the 9th Duke of Diollus, who will officially become the head 3 years later… He became known as the most powerful person in his lifetime and a strong shield for Molga.

***

It has been two days since Molga returned.

I knew that she would come to me to look into the situation at any moment, but there was no news.

‘Careful and quick-witted.
She’s a crafty woman.’

Molga must have noticed that I had changed.

She’s like a fox so she’ll be observing the atmosphere of the duke’s residence under the water.
Now that her right-hand butler has been fired, she’ll be focusing on managing the employees alone.

TL/N: Under the water meaning secretly

‘There’s nothing wrong with me.
It’s hard to keep this body in its right mind when it encounters Molga because of its trauma.’

It’s the night before the storm, but now’s the time to work hard.

If I remain as 15-year-old Rubette, who is young, naive, and has no awareness or connections, it is useless to try to expose Molga’s side to the family.

Because no one will listen to the foolish princess whose greatest achievement in her life is being the daughter of the Duke of Diollus.

‘Let’s work.
I’m going to start model casting without delay today.’

I bit half of the apple with determination.

I was having breakfast with my dad again today.
The rest of the apple, cut in half, was in my dad’s hand.

“Eating an entire apple doesn’t make you gain weight, so I don’t know why you only eat half a day.”

“I want to share it with my dad.”

Also, when I blocked the source of nagging from my diet, who said that mice would eat more than this, my dad made a strange expression.

Soon, my dad, who took the apple to his mouth without saying anything, took a bite after me.

‘You’re not asking me anything.
Well, I appreciate it.’

Dad didn’t really ask about what happened yesterday when I had a seizure and lost consciousness due to my trauma.

If he asked, I would have to talk about Molga, and that would cause trouble for me.

Right now, everyone in this family is on the sidelines, so I’ll be at a disadvantage if I hit them in any way.

“Dad, you have to eat lunch alone today.”

“Why?”

“Don’t drink secretly because I’m not here.
I’ll ask the kitchen.”

“So why are you eating separately?”

“I’m going downtown today.
Maybe I should have lunch outside.”

“Why are you leaving?”

“I’m going to see a play.”

“What play?”

“……..”

The endless questions left me speechless.

‘Are you a question mark killer?’

I didn’t know that the conversation to have lunch separately would be so long since I’m going out.

My dad thought he showed too much interest, so he slowly avoided my eyes.

“Well…”

Thinking about it, I grabbed the magazine I brought and moved to the seat right next to my dad, and sat down.

“Would you like to take a look at this?”

It was an entertainment magazine published by the town.

When I opened a few pages, there was a beautiful woman in one place.

Left and right, when I turned over a few pages, there was a beautiful woman in one place.

“Sara Hugo is the most popular actress in town these days, and I’m a fan of her.”

Currently, the best female celebrity is actress Sara Hugo.

When I saw her beautiful appearance, I ate like a greedy merchant.

Dad, who was looking through the magazine with unimpressed eyes, asked,

“When are you leaving?”

“Now.”

Dad paused as he looked up at me as I got up.

“Don’t skip lunch and make sure to eat.”

“Wait.”

Dad looked hesitant as he grabbed me as I was about to leave.

“Why?”

Dad’s eyes looked out the dazzling window.

“……..”

My dad, who had a staring contest with the window like a vampire who was afraid to go out and see the sun, looked at me and said,

PR/N: ngl, i feel the same way…. 

“Let’s go out together.”

“What? You’re going out?”

I was surprised.
Wasn’t my dad someone who lived in his room almost like a mole after my mom died?

“Why? You don’t like it?”

“No, it’s not like that…”

Dad decided to go out, not anyone else?

Of course, my dad’s company wasn’t bad for me either.
It helps my plan and it would be a good first step for my dad to live a decent life.

I nodded quickly, fearing that my dad would change his mind.

“Good!”

“Instead, I will decide the lunch menu.”

“I was thinking of going to the salad restaurant on Debian Street.
It’s fine there.”

“No grass.”

“Um, I have to lose weight, so I need to get a different menu…”

Dad, who had been staring at me as I was thinking, suddenly got up.

“Ugh!”

The next moment I was surprised.
My dad was suddenly holding me up.

Dad said I’m still chubby but I’m not struggling yet.

“It’s been half a week, haven’t you felt it? You’re not heavy at all, so stop losing weight.”

“That’s not it!”

“…….”

My dad, who had narrowed his forehead as if dissatisfied, took a step back at my uncompromising eyes.

“Then at least don’t eat grass today.”

“Well…”

Well, I’ve been on a harsh diet for a week, so let’s enjoy a cheat day today.

I shrugged my shoulders as I was held by my dad and said,

“All right, then.
Please buy me something delicious.”
