I Unintentionally Cured The Grand Duke’s Insomnia - Chapter 59

30. — XXX-Rated Romance Novel (1)

Cain was imminently closer to the sofa in the center of the office where I was standing.

Naturally, I sat down on the other side of the sofa and just stared blankly at him as I still remained frozen in the same posture as when I was checking the titles of the books. Carrying a book from his desk in the office, he placed it on the table and opened his mouth in a low voice.

“You don’t have to read a lot today. You can just read 20 pages each.”

“…20 pages?”

Even though I did not want to read it even if I died, if it was twenty pages… Yes, maybe I could finish it before the embarrassing scene comes out. In any case, it was necessary to have a storyline for books like this—

With that thought, I settled down on one side of the sofa with desperate hopes. Among the ten books that were piled up, I chose the title that seemed the most ordinary and swallowed dry saliva.

“Ahngg…”

“….?”

Crazy, crazy… The author is really crazy, are they not?!

The book that had been opened was shut with a loud sound. No, it was not right to do this from the first page…! The book was so plain from the beginning that it was humorous that I opened with such little hope like that. I then glanced at Cain, throwing the book I could never possibly read in front of him on the table.

“How, how about I read the book I read last time?”

“What are you talking about?”

“The books that I thought would put me to sleep just by opening them last time! What was the title? How to organize Pythagoras? I’d rather read that again!”

“The book has already been checked.”

“No, what confirmation? If there’s something you’re looking for in the book, I’d rather read it myself and come back to tell you about it.”

“I’m grateful for the Young Lady’s kindness, though that’s not possible.”

“….”

“I have to hear it myself and check it out.”

“No, then why did you have to check it out at the stables!”

I could not stand the novel, which started with moans even in the first chapter, and eventually erupted into screams. Meanwhile, Cain stared at me as I rolled my feet and spoke with an incomprehensible look.

“I don’t know why you’re so flustered.”

He does not know why I am so flustered…? I really do not know why he is so confident!

“Isn’t this the kind of book that the Young Lady wrote about me?”

“…Yes?”

“These books were recommended by the bookstore, saying they were the most similar to the books Young Lady wrote.”

I was surprised by Cain’s inconsequential words and asked back with my mouth wide open.

“The, the bookstore owner said that these books were the most similar to the book I wrote…?”

His head nodded as an answer. Seeing his reaction like that, I clenched my fists tightly.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

…These are similar to my novel?

Cain, who was quietly watching me sharpen my teeth, narrowed his brow and questioned.

“Are you saying it’s not?”

“Of course not!”

“….”

“I wrote a romance novel, and this is rated-19… No, I mean XXX-rated* erotic novels!”
[ T/N: The author actually wrote ‘R-29’ for here and the title, although since there’s no such thing, I decided to adjust it a little to make the context make sense! ]

I immediately retorted to his words with fury. They said that they were the owner of a bookstore, yet they could not even tell the difference between a romance novel and adult literature?

Knock, knock.

While I was touching my forehead, which was burning, at that moment, Roan came in with a knock.

“I’ve prepared some tea.”

“Oh, thank you. Mr. Roan.”

“No, it’s all right. It’s the ginger tea that Young Lady asked for a while ago—keuh-cough.”

Roan’s gaze, who had put the teacup down in front of me, naturally flowed to the book lying on the table. There was a little embarrassment in his professional voice, along with his noticeably awkward hands. At the same time, his eyes, which glanced at the book and me alternately, rolled busily as if in bewilderment.

…Oh, I am so ashamed that I want to die.

“Gin-ginger tea. Yes, of course!”

I hastily moved the ginger tea that was in a large glass bottle in front of me and covered my face while Roan retreated as if he were running away. As I swept my face in the rush of surging shame and confusion, I heard a rattling sound as if Cain was holding a teacup.

Ominous speculation suddenly came to mind at Roan’s bewildered look, and I cautiously asked him.

“Your Highness, may I ask you a question?”

“….?”

“Who went and bought these books?”

I asked, feeling perturbed. At the beginning, I implicitly thought that these books might have been prepared by Roan, the butler, but judging by his bewildered appearance, it seemed that he was seeing these books for the first time as well.

…So please, please, do not say that he went and bought it himself!

Cain, who had narrowed his eyebrows at the sudden question, placed down his teacup and asked.

“Is that important?”

“It’s important.”

“….”

“Extremely.”
