I’ll Become the Female Lead in this Trashy Webnovel

ot that I hate you, Hugh.
Some people might think that what you’re doing is bad.
I’m saying this because I’m worried about you.”

The heartfelt statement made him smile in relief.

“Thank you for your concern.”

Why did he have to be so nice to her?

It felt like receiving fan service from her crush.

Soaked in romantic bliss,  she almost forgot about her current reality so she decided to continue the conversation.

“So what’s this good news you were talking about?”

’

“Oh.
I wanted to tell you that I passed the Royal Knighthood examination.
I am now a Knight under the crown prince’s order!”

She found his response strange at first.

Chagrin was the emotion that followed.

“What? The Crown Prince? Joshua?”

Hugh nodded proudly.

“Yes.
Now, I can see you often.
As soon as they told me I got accepted this morning, I moved my residence into Imperial City.
I’m just happy to see you from afar.”

As Hugh drowned in his jovial mood, So-hee fell into deep thought.

Was this just a coincidence?

How scary~

“Is this fate or what?”

Joshua’s character was too annoying for her to consider this a coincidence.

There must be some gruesome detail she hadn’t known of yet.

But if Joshua just wanted to check Hugh’s background, he didn’t have to pick him as his knight and keep him close, right?

So-hee rationalized Joshua’s decision even if it might disappoint Hugh.

This couldn’t be a coincidence.

Not when the crown prince had smiled at her sweetly before this.

“I didn’t make any mistakes, right?”

“I don’t think you made any mistake.”

However, the strange discomfort remained.

“What is it? Am I missing something?” She muttered in contemplation.

Hugh tilted his head and looked at So-hee.

“What?” He whispered in a deep voice.

She shook her head to shake the sense of foreboding in her mind.

“No.
I’m glad I can see you often as well.”

If both of them only had a ‘talking’ relationship, Joshua wouldn’t harm him, right?

She just wanted to enjoy his company without unnecessary concerns.

And since they’re dealing with the crown prince here, their problems were realistic.

“Hugh, can I ask you a favor since I’ll see you often?”

She needed information about Bandelli’s trial tomorrow.

“Yes, anything.
I’ll do anything for you.
Helping you is a great pleasure.”

It wasn’t like it’ll be challenging, so Hugh would be alright.

So-hee managed to pull out a wild card, but the plot development was still too vague for her to make out.
