The Male Leads Were Stolen by the Extra – Chapter 67

“Tan?”

“…”

Despite Sellonia’s call, He looked around the carriage. A certain energy was chasing the carriage.

Thinking that he had sensed it wrong, he concentrated his mind and felt it even more clearly. The suspicious energy was chasing the group nearby.

Tan, his expression hardened, pulled the rope attached to the carriage.

The carriage, which had been running smoothly, received a signal and stopped outside.

“What’s wrong?”

She suddenly looked at Tan, who had stopped the carriage, in bewilderment.

“I’ll be going first.”

However, without answering her question, he opened the carriage door and got out, closing it immediately.

“Pardon? Where are you going!”

Despite her voice being heard from beyond the door, Tan ordered the coachman to start the carriage.

The brisk sound of horse hooves rang out on the road again. As soon as Tan confirmed that the carriage that Sellonia was riding was going well, he disappeared from the road in an instant.

“Are we going to keep chasing him? I told you to just show ourselves.”

As Kelvin continued to whine, Ius grabbed his throbbing head.

“Idiot brat.”

He clicked his tongue at the ignorant Kelvin.

After meeting the Master today and following him around, he was with Princess Basin all day.

What kind of combination is this? Why are the two of them together?

Since nothing was confirmed, he couldn’t act rashly.

For now, he had to wait for the Master to be alone and secretly ask to meet him.

If there was a plan in the Master’s mind, they couldn’t reveal their presence and ruin that plan.

“What? This brat, really!”

The moment when Kelvin, exhausted by the continued stalking and unable to hold back his sharp temper, raised his fist high.

“Neiiiiigh!”

The carriage jerked to a sudden stop with a loud horse sound.

Kelvin, who lost his balance and fell into the opposite seat as if he had crashed, got up from his seat with a tantrum.

“Damn. What the heck!”

“This energy…”

When Kelvin swore, Ius muttered with a blank face.

“What?”

“EUAAAGH!”

It was then. Kelvin and Ius looked out the carriage window at the screams they heard outside.

Then they could clearly see their coachman flying away like a light bundle.

“No way…”

The moment Kelvin noticed everything with a shiver running down his spine, the closed carriage door swung open.

“What are you guys.”

A pair of icy red eyes appeared under the dark night sky, glaring at both of them.

They had to swallow their saliva, knowing that eerie gaze so well.

***

The next day.

[The arsonist of the Wicklander shopping district is revealed to be the vice guild leader of Finnest.]

Gillian, the vice guild leader of Finnest, admitted that he set fire to the Wicklander store located in the Magic District and killed its owner, Wicklander.

He still hasn’t revealed the reason for the arson.

Sellonia checked the newspaper article published today and closed it. It seemed that the palace knights Ella had called in yesterday had done a good job.

“Whew. How could Gillian.”

Galloway sighed heavily, clutching his throbbing head.

Sellonia was sitting in the living room with her father.

Since the misdeeds of the vice guild leader of Finnest were widely reported, the Basin family wouldn’t be exempted from responsibility, so she understood her father’s worries.

Although she felt very sorry for having tarnished the honor of her father and her family, she didn’t regret this choice.

Henrik’s face, sadly and sorrowfully shedding tears over Wicklander’s death, was still vivid in her heart.

That was why she deliberately chose to make it public.

Henrik also had the right to know the truth. If one has committed a crime, they should receive the appropriate punishment.

“Father. The tea smells good.”

Sellonia picked up the teapot on the table and poured warm tea to comfort her father, who was sitting at the head of the table.

“Selly, I feel sorry to you.”

“No. Who thought Gillian would do something like that… Both Father and I were fooled.”

When Galloway lifted his teacup with a bitter expression, Sellonia naturally pretended not to know.

She deliberately didn’t tell her father that she was the one who helped Gillian get caught.

For the sake of their public image, her father had allowed Tan, who had saved her, to stay at the duke’s residence.

If he had known that she was involved in this, he would have been upset, saying that she should have told the family first.

So it was right to just end the situation as Gillian deceiving everyone and becoming a criminal.

“I’ve known him for a long time, how could he do something like that… Selly, I’ll assign you a trustworthy person again.”

“It’s fine. You must be busy with this, so you don’t have to worry about me.”

“As expected, my daughter. You’re thoughtful.”

Galloway smiled happily, impressed by her words.

“Hahaha…”

Sellonia laughed awkwardly, her conscience aching at that kind smile. I’m sorry, Father.

“By the way, Selly, I heard you came home late yesterday.”

“I went to the central library and didn’t even realize that the sun was setting.”

She didn’t panic at her father’s question and blurted out the excuses she had been thinking of.

“Is there something you want to study? Then you should tell this father.”

Galloway frowned as if he was disappointed.

“I’m just curious about this and that. I’ll definitely tell you, Father.”

“Yes, yes. You need to definitely tell me. Now that I think about it, your celebration party is in a few days. I heard His Imperial Majesty is taking special care to prepare it.”

“Really? I’m really looking forward to it.”

Sellonia smiled happily and talked to her father a little more before leaving the living room.

She couldn’t take up any more of her father’s time, who was very busy with Gillian and the guild.

“Miss, Sir Tan is waiting for you in the dining room.”

At that moment, Ella, who was waiting at the door, spoke.

“I’ll be right there.”

Sellonia headed straight to the dining room.

Tan, who had suddenly gotten off the carriage yesterday, didn’t return until almost midnight.

She kept waiting, wondering what was going on, yet she ended up dozing off as she was exhausted.

The moment she opened her eyes, it was already dawn. There was no way to know if he had been there at midnight.

When on earth did he come back? Why did he suddenly get off the carriage?

With so many things to ask, Sellonia arrived at the dining room very quickly.

Tan was sitting on a chair.

“Then I’ll prepare a meal for you.”

At her appearance, the servants headed to the kitchen, saying they would bring breakfast.

She sat at the head table next to him.

The dining room was just the two of them. This was because when the two of them ate together, they usually dismissed all the servants unless it was necessary.

In case Tan would witness her talking nonsense or using her powerr.

“When did you come back yesterday?”

Sellonia asked Tan, who seemed unaware of her presence.

His eyes, who had been staring blankly into space, turned to her.

“When did you come in?”

“Just now. I’m asking, when did you come back yesterday?”

“At midnight. I didn’t wake you up because you were sleeping.”

“Why did you suddenly get out of the carriage?”

“…Just because.”

Tan momentarily failed to meet Sellonia’s eyes and trailed off.

“Did something happen?”

“Nothing.”
