Tale 7
The Supposed Male Lead
My name is Indigo Crimson.
I’m the heir of the Dukedom of the Northern Lands.
My parents died when I was seven years old.
And it was my fault.
Because I was born with massive amount of fire mana, I couldn’t fully control my magic.
A fire broke out on our home, and my parents died.
Everyone called me a monster for killing my own parents.
And I agree.
It’s my fault.
I’m a monster.
“How could she be like that?” Titus whined one night
Here we go again.
It’s already been a year since school started, and Titus, the Crown Prince and my only friend, started to become obsessed with a girl.
“Why do you even care?” I asked
“How can I not care? She’s been ignoring me for a year! Even when I try to talk to her, she always ran away!” he complained
“And that’s a problem because?”
“Because—”
He suddenly froze.
As if a sudden realization dawned on him.
“Because?” I kept asking
“.......nevermind.”
This idiot must have finally realized it.
He likes the girl.
It’s already been a year. How slow can he be?
Speaking of which, I think it’s already been a year since she started to ignore me too.
I guess that’s a good thing.
It was really annoying when she keeps on pestering me just because she’s my fiancée.
She suddenly changed after we entered the academy.
Well, I don’t care.
And I shouldn’t.

“You will officially become a Duke once you come of age, right?” Titus
I simply nod.
“That means you will get married too.” Titus
“Not necessarily. As long as Lady Larkin remained my fiancée, I can inherit the dukedom even if we don’t get married immediately.”
“Don’t you like her?” Titus asked
“I don’t hate her. But I don’t like her either.” I answered honestly
“Are you sure you have a burning heart? Not a frozen one?” Titus asked curiously
“Stop talking like an idiot.”
“Who are you calling an idiot? I’m still the Crown Prin—huh? Isn’t that Primrose Grace? Why is she with your fiancée?” Titus
“Can’t they be friends? Just let them be.” I said to shut him up
“Are you insane? My Prim—Ehem.. I mean, Primrose Grace is not someone who will be friends with Savannah Larkin.” Titus
He was about to say “My Primrose” didn’t he? Well, I’ll just pretend I didn’t noticed.
