The Male Leads Were Stolen by the Extra Chapter 38

 

“It’s my first time meeting you. I’m Flower of the Count of Blanc. May I know the gentleman’s name?”

 

At that time, a young lady approached Tan.

 

“Excuse mee, Sir Tan…”

 

Ella carefully called out to Tan, who wasn’t even paying attention to the beautiful-looking count lady.

 

He doesn’t know what time it is now.

 

After Tan entered the birthday party, all the ladies glanced at him as if they were in unison.

 

It would have been nice if it had ended there, but some of the ladies, at the risk of hurting their pride, introduced themselves to Tan and asked his name.

 

Everyone had a shy blush on their cheeks.

 

Ella knew that in aristocratic society, it hurts women’s pride to introduce themselves to men first and ask their names.

 

After all, introducing oneself and expressing one’s interest was something men should do to women.

 

However, since Tan didn’t come forward, the ladies gathered their courage and took the first step.

 

Ella fully knew why.

 

Just leaning against the pillar with his arms crossed, Tan looked unreal, like a character from a famous painting.

 

His handsome appearance was so dazzling that even her striking black hair and red eyes were completely attractive.

 

Moreover, although he attended the party as an escort knight of the Basin family, he was wearing clothes he received from Verondi Boutique, so anyone could see that he looked like a noble gentleman.

 

Anyway, as Tan didn’t even look at her or respond, the count lady’s face, who was standing in front of him, became increasingly red from embarrassment.

 

Ella, who couldn’t bear to see it, carefully pulled on Tan’s sleeve to give a signal, yet the answer that came out was extremely careless.

 

“No business.”

 

“Ha! “You’re really rude.”

 

In the end, what he said to the other ladies earlier also came out to the count lady.

 

The count lady, who glared at Tan as hard as she could with a bright red face, turned around and walked away so loudly that one could hear the wind.

 

She must have been so angry that her dress fluttered wildly as she walked roughly.

 

“Sir Tan… If you’re too heartless, something bad might happen.”

 

Ella let out a sigh, expressing her concern.

 

Since nobles are people who beat commoners just for looking at them, she was worried that they might get angry at Tan.

 

But Tan paid no attention and continued to look at one place. He was just glad that the woman with the terrible smell was gone.

 

Sellonia was standing where his red eyes were directed.

 

She was having a conversation with a girl of short stature.

 

Wearing a dress that was different from the ones he saw of her in the boutique, she looked stunning at this glamorous party.

 

In particular, like the huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling, she was shining so dazzlingly that he wondered if she was the same person.

 

He couldn’t take his eyes off her, as if she was the main character in a book he read yesterday.

 

The main character attending a fancy party was a scene that only appeared once.

 

Tan realized that the world that existed only in print was real after seeing Sellonia.

 

Then the desire to stand next to her stirred within him. Just like the male leads in the book.

 

‘Why?’

 

Tan himself was unfamiliar with this strange desire.

 

However, he didn’t hate it. Everything he experienced for the first time due to Sellonia was new and good.

 

Because his empty heart and memories were piled up one by one because of her.

 

He glanced at her again.

 

What was so enjoyable was that the smile on her face never ceased.

 

Tan smiled unconsciously as he saw the corners of her lips rising slightly.

 

Pretty.

 

He felt like he, who didn’t like it because of the terrible smell and the crowds of people, was being revitalized by her smile.

 

It was then.

 

Sellonia, who was talking to the girl, looked over and approached him with a frown.

 

Tan lifted his body from where it was leaning against the pillar.

 

As she was approaching him to see if her business was over, a man suddenly appeared and spoke to her.

 

Then he lifted her hand and placed his lips on the back of her hand.

 

At that moment, a hot lump bubbled up in his chest.

 

“Sir Tan, that’s some kind of greeting…!”

 

Ella, who saw the scene together, was shocked and quickly tried to explain to Tan, yet it was already too late.

 

His eyes turned back, emitting a vicious energy, and Tan was about to kill that man.

 

“Who is this?”

 

Ian, who had just attended a birthday party, spotted Tan and started talking to him sarcastically.

 

This huge body was noticeable even from a distance.

 

Next to him was Grace, smiling brightly with her arms crossed around Ian.

 

“It was him back then. The Beast of Night, they said?”

 

“Oh my. See you here again.”

 

When Ian, who had already finished investigating Tan, stood in front of him with a confident face, Grace opened her eyes round and covered her mouth.

 

 

“Grace, do you know this guy?”

 

Ian looked at his lover with dissatisfied eyes. Why does she know this guy?

 

“I saw him some time ago when he was with the Princess. Your name was Tan, right? Sir Tan.”

 

Grace responded with a mischievous smile.

 

“What Sir. There is no need to speak formally. He’s the one walking around on the street.”

 

Ian snorted and looked at Tan again.

 

Feeling strange, he frowned and looked at Tan from head to toe.

 

Now that he thinks about it, Tan’s appearance today is quite different from the sloppy look he had when he first met him.

 

Neat clothes and well-groomed hair style. He dressed up to the fullest and looked like he was trying to act like a nobleman.

 

Even if he covers it with clothes, the smell of cloth can’t be erased.

 

“Did you think that even if you dressed up, your origins would be hidden?”

 

Ian frowned, his blue eyes filled with contempt.

 

Sellonia said he was her guest, so he thought he had a noble status, but the Beast of Night?

 

He was so angry as soon as he found out that something he didn’t even know where it came from had dared to attack him.

 

Ian thought Sellonia had brought this man in to use jealousy tactics against him.

 

So he thought he could do anything, yet he turned out to be a bastard with no roots. How dare he see him as something.

 

“Did you become mute in the meantime? Why is your loud mouth so quiet?”

 

Ian laughed at the quiet Tan, finding it funny.

 

He’s sure now that he knows who he is, he won’t be able to be as cocky as he was back then.

 

Yet soon, Ian’s mouth hardened.

 

For Tan didn’t even lower his head, just like back then, and was looking down on him arrogantly.

 

That jerk’s eyes…

 

Tan’s eyes were still very cold.

 

His eyes, which burned even redder than the flames, looked as if flames were going to fly.

 

Ian couldn’t suppress his anger and opened his mouth.

 

“How dare you do that.”

 

“Screw off.”

 

Tan easily pushed aside Ian, who was blocking his path, and walked straight to Sellonia.

 

“Not there…!”

 

“Ooh! Duke, you came.”

 

When Ian, angry at the mounting insult, raised his voice and tried to grab Tan’s shoulder, Marquis Denroha smiled and spoke to him.

 

“…Marquis Denroha.”

 

Ian bowed his head to Marquis Denroha. He couldn’t contain his anger, his cheeks were twitching.

 

But he couldn’t show the Marquis like that. The Marquis was a close friend of his father and a family with as much power and wealth as any other duchy.

 

“Long time… Ah, nice to meet you. I’m Grace Bennett. It’s an honor to be able to attend such a happy day.”

 

Grace corrected her words and bowed politely to Marquis Denroha with a bitter expression.

 

An expression of great joy was evident on her face as she faced him.

 

“I guess you’re here to do some work. You must have been busy, but thank you for coming. My daughter will be very happy. She likes the saviors very much.”

 

However, unlike Grace, who was pleased, Marquis Denroha only paid attention to Ian, who was wearing the uniform of the Imperial Knights, and smiled heartily.

 

Grace had obviously greeted him, yet he had ignored her.

 

He had a closer relationship with Duke Basin than with Duke Cherville.

 

“…”

 

Although Grace was smiling carelessly, she couldn’t control the corners of her mouth that were quivering.

 

The corners of her eyes twitched at the humiliation blooming inside her.

 

“I would be honored if your daughter is happy.”

 

Ian clenched his hands tightly and bit his teeth, then slowly raised his lowered head.

 

Before he knew it, he was wearing a divine smile, just like the people singing the hymn.

 

Since his relationship with the Basin family was cut off due to the breakup of the engagement, he couldn’t be hated by Marquis Denroha.

 

Marquis Denroha wasn’t as good as the Basin family, but he still had a strong reputation and was one of the most wealthy men in the Empire.

 

Moreover, the current marquis was a man of considerable political standing.

 

He wasn’t foolish enough to offend the Marquis Denroha by raising his voice at the party because he couldn’t control his personal feelings.

 

However, Ian didn’t even realize that his lover was being ignored by the Marquis because of his seething emotions due to the ignoring and excessive Tan.

 

“Haha. How is your father these days?”

 

Soon, Marquis Denroha and Ian talked about the previous Duke of Cherville.

 

Although Grace was definitely by their side, she was treated as if she didn’t exist.

 

Grace pursed her lips and quickly turned her head. Naturally, her eyes followed her shot.

 

And when she saw someone standing where her shot was headed, she smiled, saying she would excuse herself, and started walking.
