The Male Leads Were Stolen by the Extra Chapter 74

 

“No. Lady Bennett isn’t at fault. Just as nothing in this world lasts forever, it’s not wrong for people’s hearts to change.”

 

“Miss… What if you collapse again…”

 

Ella sympathized with Sellonia, who was ruminating with a self-deprecating tone.

 

Hmm? Have I ever collapsed from the pain of a breakup?

 

Sellonia glanced at Ella. She winked, as if she’d noticed everything.

 

Sellonia held back a burst of laughter at the sight, but finally decided to make a final statement.

 

“I don’t blame you, Lady Bennett. So, since you’re here, I hope you enjoy it. And all of you too.”

 

With a generous, gentle smile, Sellonia headed toward the terrace, her head tilted in a daze.

 

And even that shocked everyone around her.

 

She seemed to be unable to control herself from the blow.

 

“Hmph.”

 

Pellaine and Abel glared at Grace intently before following Sellonia.

 

As she moved away, the gathered people began murmuring about Grace.

 

“It seems the rumors that the Princess had changed were true.”

 

“She’s so wounded that she’s bound to change. Let’s go somewhere else and talk. I don’t want to be in the same room with someone so shameless.”

 

“Tsk, tsk. No matter how good youth is, there are things you shouldn’t do.”

 

“Ladies, let’s move on. This is degrading.”

 

The nobles all glared at Grace and the Saviors and began to leave.

 

“…”

 

Grace’s lips trembled.

 

The bright smile vanished, her expression frozen. She was caught off guard by the counterpunch she received, and she was left speechless.

 

“Lady Basin, let’s have a talk.”

 

Meanwhile, Ian, who had been standing next to her, followed Sellonia.

 

Grace bit her lip, watching Ian turn away in vain.

 

His fiancée is being criticized, and instead of protecting her, he’s pulling away, telling her she’ll live alone. And not only that, he’s leaving her alone to go with that woman?

 

She glared at the fading Sellonia, Ian, and Pellain and Abel, who were playing friends, with his venomous green eyes.

 

“She didn’t even break even.”

 

“That’s what I’m saying.”

 

The nobles sneered at Grace and passed by, their eyes sullen and scornful.

 

Grace clenched her fists.

 

Her hands trembled. This was completely unexpected.

 

“Miss Grace.”

 

“Grace.”

 

Reyev and McLion, standing behind her, called out to Grace.

 

They frowned, as if they’d known this would happen. They had been the ones who had opposed Grace’s participation in the wedding party ever since she’d said she would.

 

Finally, she had attended and witnessed this cruel scene.

 

“Sir Reyev, McLion.”

 

Grace, who had been gritting her teeth, quickly relaxed her expression and called out to them.

She had received a signal from the green hair in the distance.

 

“Speak.”

 

“Please speak.”

 

The two men studied Grace’s expression and replied.

 

“I’m so thirsty. Could you bring me a glass of champagne? Both of you.”

 

“Just a moment.”

 

“Got it.”

 

Reading Grace’s desire for a moment of solitude, Reyev and McLion moved forward.

 

As soon as the two disappeared from sight, Grace left the hall with a furious expression.

“Why are you following me?”

 

Sellonia snapped at Ian, who had followed her to the terrace.

 

His constant pursuit forced her to temporarily pull back Pellaine, Abel, and Ella.

 

“Let’s talk.”

 

“I have nothing to talk to you about.”

 

It had been a long time since the tragic heroine mode was over.

 

“Haa. Don’t do that, just for a while.”

 

Ian swept his bangs up with an annoyed expression.

 

He then glanced at the small children loitering in front of the terrace door as if they were annoying, and closed the curtains.

 

“Ha.”

 

Is this the attitude of someone who wants to talk?

 

Sellonia didn’t want to let Ian escape Grace’s tricks.

 

They got along so well together that it was better for everyone if they just lived happily together.

 

“Speak quickly. It’s annoying to even see each other face to face.”

 

“Let’s start over again.”

 

Sellonia, who hadn’t even looked at him, turned her head at those words.

 

What was this brat talking about?

 

But the words she heard afterward were even more shocking.

 

“I can’t give up Grace. So I’m planning to take her as my second wife.”

 

Sellonia looked at Ian, who seemed to be losing his mind.

 

The brazen and vicious statement of taking his current fiancée as his second wife was chilling.

 

“I made this decision with your status in mind. Still, shouldn’t the Princess become a duchess?”

 

Ian spoke with an arrogant smile, speaking fluently of his decision after careful consideration.

 

He still loved Grace.

 

He still had only Grace in his heart. But he couldn’t let go of Sellonia.

 

Especially because they were the couple of the century, the envy of all.

 

And yet another man, a commoner who was even more disrespectful than himself, was sitting next to her, and people were whispering about how well they matched?

 

That was the only compliment he could receive when he was by Sellonia’s side. Ian felt sorry for Grace, but objectively, Sellonia was a flawless woman.

 

To the point where he could accept without complaint even if she were the star of this world.

 

It was the same for Ian. He was the image of the prince everyone longed for, straight out of a fairy tale. In a way, Sellonia and he were like a couple.

 

Moreover, Sellonia and I were a duke and princess.

 

With a status that no one dared to ignore, and with a beauty that no one could deny, there was no other couple who could surpass them.

 

Ian studied Sellonia from head to toe with a sinister gaze.

 

She was beautiful. As expected, she was the woman who suited him best.

 

Although Grace was beautiful, Sellonia had a different aura. She made him shine even brighter when she was around.

 

This feeling had become firm ever since that day at the Marquis of Denroha’s residence.

 

A cup of tea used to calm her down, yet that wasn’t the case anymore.

 

“What are you talking about? Who wants to be your wife?”

 

Sellonia glared at Ian with a crumpled expression, as if she were looking at a human scum.

 

“Haa. Now relax. Haven’t you ever considered how I must have struggled during those three months, when you were unconscious, not knowing when you’d wake up?”

 

Ian frowned and stroked his forehead, as if asking her to understand his feelings.

 

“Are you kidding me?”

 

Sellonia faced Ian with a cold expression.

 

Her mind went cold.

 

She knew his sudden change of heart was due to Grace’s trickery, but now he was blaming her, the victim.

 

‘My cheating was justified. Didn’t your collapse provide the excuse? I couldn’t just wait for you, who might die at any moment.’ Isn’t that what he meant?

 

She didn’t think Grace’s trickery encouraged such ridiculous justifications. This is just human nature.

 

“Lady, put yourself in my shoes. If I had collapsed and not woken up for three months, are you sure you wouldn’t have done the same?”

 

“That’s enough. That’s why we had a clean break up. You didn’t make an issue of it.”

 

“Of course. But Lady still has feelings for me. So, didn’t you try to make me jealous?”

 

“I never did. Does Lady Bennett know what you’re doing? That vile idea that you’re thinking of making her your second wife?”

 

“Was Grace the problem? I’ll explain it clearly. So don’t worry, and you…!”

 

“Ah, you don’t understand what I’m saying. Seriously.”

 

A chillingly low voice flowed from her plump, red lips.

 

Sellonia roughly ran her hair, as if annoyed, and her eyes burned with hatred like blue flames.

 

“Don’t get me wrong. I never had any intention of opening up to you in the first place. I’ve never loved you, what the hell is that.”
