I Will Avoid the Male Lead and Make a Harem
Vol. 8: Madam Devil
Chapter 11

“Even if Mother apologizes, it’s only words. Nothing is going to change.”

The same could be said if Camilla truly repented and apologized to Selina for everything that had happened in the past.

“What has already happened will not be erased from my memory.”

Selina would not want an apology from her stepmother either.

Though I’m not sure Selina ever wanted Camilla to be crushed.

Cedric pursed his lips, unsure what he wanted to say to me, who was already determined.

“Selina, do you happen to……”

It was back then.

The calmly settled curtains on the balcony started to flutter.

“Wait just a minute, Uncle.”

I quickly drew up the blanket, stood up, and went to the balcony.

The silhouette of the stout man shone dimly through the curtain.

It was Valhail.

I shut the bedroom door so the other people in the bedroom couldn’t see us. “Selina.”

Looking back, he approached me in a single step.

Looking at his worried expression, he seemed to have heard that I had collapsed.

“How is your body……?”

“As you can see, I am fine. You seemed to have something urgent earlier, what was it?”

He looked at me with serious eyes from head to toe, but when he realized I wasn’t hurt, he immediately raised his head.

“There is nothing serious.”

“Just tell me. What is it?”

“There was a problem with the Crawford family’s hunting grounds.”

“The hunting ground?”

When I wondered, he answered with sincerity.

“There is a crazy woman who lives there and has seizures on a regular basis. I was told to catch her because she had run away.”

“That…… Is that important enough to summon you from the drawing room?”

Valhail raised his brows.

“She was no ordinary woman.”

“Why?”

“She possesses magic. She knows how to handle magic.” Maybe this is a problem I don’t have to worry about.

But my intuition told me otherwise.

‘Something isn’t right.’

Camilla probably brought Valhail into the drawing room in the first place to blackmail Isaac.

‘She announced that he was the winner of the martial arts competition was all calculated in advance.’

But to send Valhail out of nowhere? Was it really necessary to bring back a runaway girl?

‘That woman has to mean a lot to her.’

But why is she important? Who is she?

“So, did you manage to catch her?”

“I had no trouble catching her. Because she was limping, she couldn’t go very far.”

Perhaps it was the same person Cedric had met before.

“What’s her name? Do you know who is she?”

Valhail shook his head and looked behind me at the same time.

“Your sister.”

“…… “Huh?”

I quickly turned my head to see Shannon squinting at us through the curtains.

‘How did she get here this time?’

She now comes in and out of my room as if it were her own.

I opened the door and whispered to Shannon, who looked out at Valhail with a curious expression.

“Could you get away?”

“…… Humph!”

Shannon walked away with a pout.

‘She has absolutely no manners.’

Adrian is aware that what he is doing is rude, but Shannon is completely unaware that what she is doing is rude.

The two twins were strikingly similar yet different.

I turned around and shut the door.

Valhail, on the other hand, couldn’t take her gaze away from Shannon’s disappearance. His gaze was odd in some ways.

‘What? Did he finally fall for Shannon?’

Is he tempted to take her away right now because her swollen cheeks are so pitiful?

Unexpected words popped out of him as I was thinking about the story from the original work and spreading the wings of my imagination.

“I think she looked like your sister.”

“You mean me?”

When I asked Valhail what he was talking about, he looked at me, frowned slightly, and replied softly.

“The woman on the hunting ground.”

“……”

“They look alike.”

An absurd thought flashed through my mind as I listened to his calm response.

“Her age…… how old is she?”

“Thirty? Or maybe forty? I’m not sure.”

He certainly appeared to be inept at determining a person’s age.

There was a ten-year gap between thirty and forty.

But how could he put it all together?

“How large is the hunting ground?”

“It was quite large.”

It is not a large forest, but the trees are said to be dense because it is not managed. Because Camilla doesn’t use the hunting ground to hunt.

“If someone had already decided to hide there, it would have been extremely difficult to find them.”

Oh, that’s good.

A good idea came up. I took his hand in mine.

“Help me.”
