The Tyrant Mistook Me For A Companion - Chapter 11
“Yes, almost everyone would want you.”
I answered right away. Leon’s eyes twitched at the answer that came straight out without hesitation.
However, there was another person who will win Leon’s heart.
Even if I said that, it was just a wish.
“But why doesn’t Elle want to have me?”
Leon’s words put a bitter smile on my face.
‘It’s because I can’t have you even if I want to.’
What would you do if you were greedy for something that wasn’t yours?
His fate had already been set
“Lion, hide it before anyone else comes.”
“Why, because it’s only for your eyes to see?”
Leon laughed back at my words.
The eyes that were red quickly became dark.
‘Even if you’re like this now, you have a fated partner. She’s the only one who can save you.’
I sat next to Leon and closed my eyes feeling the wind.
Leon is the only person who couldn’t even recognize his face.
I don’t know if I can say it because it’s been released, but for him, who didn’t recognize people, the presence of the female lead can be the said as light for him.
Leon recognized Janice Abel Bonita, her companion and female lead
.
“Really…Elle, you’re not afraid of me?”
“Yes, not at all.”
I smiled broadly at Leon.
Everyone bullied and avoided him with fear. But I knew what he was like, so I could treat him casually.
Because I read the novel where he is the main character.
This world is the world in the novel, and I live in it.
Otherwise, I would have avoided him in fear.
I wasn’t meant to be with his companion in the novel or with him until the end.
So what I said to Leon means nothing.
“Leon, I’m the one who brings you here.”
Leon nodded at my words.
A small hand grabbed my wrist even more as if he didn’t want to let go.
Unlike Leon’s sharp eyes, his pitiful eyes were enough to attract people.
Smaller than his age.
Of course, even so, he was bigger than me.
He will be a man much taller than I am now after his growth.
I can’t even imagine how much it would be.
He didn’t forget the female lead’s face, which no one recognized.
I don’t know if it was firmly imprinted or whether it was driven by the power of the female lead.
Uniquely, all people in this world have patterns, and their companions share the same patterns.
Even if you don’t want each other, your heart is attracted to your fated companion and you will fall in love.
The people of the Empire have the patterns of the moon. There are various colors such as gold, silver, red, and blue.
Among them, red was regarded as death by people.
Bloody love towards each other. That was the end of those with red patterns.
What the main characters of the novel, Leon and Janice, had was a rare golden light.
Most people had silver or blue moon patterns.
When both of the companions unite, the moon has a complete appearance and turns into their own mark.
It was a fate that was determined by the pattern, so there was nothing strange about it.
It didn’t matter to me.
Now I was a brief protector and a friend of Leon’s who was only passing by.
Taking care of him was also just an act I took to live.
Well, it may seem like a hypocrite, but everyone is looking for a way to live.
There’s a lot of time left for Leon to wake up to his magic properly.
There was only one pair of patterns unconditionally. In other words, there is no overlap between the partners.
However, if there is an exception, the pattern that appears in the heroine shows two companions for some reason.
One is Leon Davis. The other was Delter Cabezer, who would become emperor in the future.
If you ask who is the male lead here, isn’t it obvious?
Looking at who I was picking up and looking after, the answer was clear. The heroine chooses Leon at the end.
Blonde hair and black hair is representative of the appearance of all male lead.
It came out so many times that I was confused about what novel I read when I see it.
Above all, it didn’t take long to realize that this place was in a novel.
“Elle.”
I took a deep breath when I saw Leon tilt his head slightly while calling my name.
‘It’s unrealistic.’
How can I believe this is real?
There’s no way this ridiculous looking man in front of me would exist in real life.
“My world has changed because of you.”
I tilted my head at Leon’s words.
“So I will protect my little world.”
“Leon, your world is not small.”
You’ll have a lot of people to protect.
Now for a moment I hid him from people’s eyes.
I’m protecting him. But later on, we’ll go our separate ways.
“Yeah, it’s never small.”
Leon quickly smiled and nodded.
‘Stupid, you don’t even know what you’re talking about.”
Leon’s gaze shifted to my tight lips.
“Elle, do you want me to….. Are you going to throw me away?”
He said with a sudden look of uneasiness.
“I’m not throwing you away.”
“Then…?”
“When you become an adult, everyone should be able to take responsibility for themselves”
“Elle will become an adult, too?”
“Of course. You and I have to leave when we become adults.”
In my case, I will leave differently from Leon.
Wouldn’t it be possible to fall in love with someone and get married, or maybe get married to a suitable family?
I never really thought about marriage.
Leon will meet the female lead by then anyway, and I can live my life no matter what happens to them.
I just wanted to benefit from the male lead when something happened to me later.
“Elle, then when we become adults, we can’t see each other?”
“Well, I don’t know, maybe I’ll see you.”
I don’t know how we’ll meet.
You are likely to remain the main character, and I will remain one of the people around you who supports your happiness.
“Elle, do you want to be separated from me?”
“Rather than that….”
“I can’t live without Elle.”
Leon’s words were quite desperate.
I turned my head to the reflection of myself in desperate eyes.
“It’s not true. Leon, you will live well without me.”
I tried to stand firm, even though my heart ached.
It was because he vaguely knew how much pain he would have to carry until he met the female lead.
Leon lowered his eyes as if he had given up.
No matter how many times he said it, my answer was the same.
“You’ll find out later when you grow up.”
I turned the subject of the unfinished conversation.
The snack prepared today was Leon’s favorite.
“Let’s go inside. I’m cold.”
I couldn’t look him in the eye.
Because Leon, who was looking at me like he was about to get hurt.
‘You’ll understand what I’m saying later.’
The world is wide, and there are many people besides me who will love you. And the female lead that will appear in front of you will understand and love you better than anyone else.
‘Do you feel sad? Now I feel guilty.’
“Elle, what’s wrong?”
Leon grabbed my red cheeks in surprise.
I gulped down as his face got closer..
“……Nothing.”
“Your cheeks are red.”
His kindness won’t be mine later. It wasn’t originally mine.
“Elle, I can’t live without you.”
He grabbed me again even though I rejected him.
I shook my head with a low smile.
“No, you’ll live well.”
Leon’s long lashes trembled.
The corners of my mouth went up naturally as he looked anxious like an abandoned dog.
A sense of satisfaction spread when I saw him whose emotions were plummeting due to me.
That’s why this is not going to work.
Because when I’m by your side, I really don’t know what I’ll do to have you.
I can’t stay by his side forever.
My plan was fixed.
It was clear to me now that I would leave even if I caught his feelings. So I won’t give him my heart.
I didn’t want to get hurt.
In the end, Leon couldn’t hold me anymore.
His hand that pulled on my collar fell off.
“Mr. Elle, Mr. Leon! The count called!”
Just in time I heard a call for us.
Why is he calling me so much these days? I twisted my expression and waved.
“Lion, let’s go. He might get mad if I’m late.”
I pulled Leon’s hand immediately.
Leon’s lips twitched, but soon he followed my hand and moved.
