Then Elisha's expression darkened.

I stared at her with a puzzled look. After a while she replied softly.

"Lucky for you. Living with Evelyn."

"Huh?"

I tilted my head at Elisha, who suddenly envied Cassis.

Then I shook my head, remembering that children were especially obsessed with friends of their age.

I began to soothe the sullen Elisha.

"It's all right, Elisha."

"Huh? What?"

"Even if the guest comes, Elisha will be my best friend."

Yes, indeed.

There's nothing good about getting close to the male lead.

Then you'll make the two misunderstand and get dealt with by the male lead.

Elisha's eyes widened at my words.

Her green eyes shone in the sunlight. She was overjoyed.

"Yes! I like Evelyn best too!"

(T/N: she's saying "웅" which is a cuter way of saying yes/okay)

The next day, my mother and I went in a carriage to meet Cassis.

I was told that he was coming from the capital to the estate by train.

Trains were powered by mana, and they looked similar to old-fashioned trains that were only seen in books in my previous life.

There was still some time left for Cassis to get on the train.

"Are you happy to have a new friend, Evelyn?"

"Yes!"

I answered vigorously. Actually, I'm not very happy.

Then I sat close to my mother like a gentle child and waited for Cassis.

In "First Love", Cassis was described as very handsome.

His silky, shimmering silver hair was like an angel in the deep sea, but his personality was far from an angel.

I fumbled back to the novel that I could hardly remember now.

Perhaps because Cassis was very sick when he was young, he often cried out for Elisha because he was lethargic and sensitive.

But after he's grown up and became an adult?

Oh, man.

In the novel, I thought of the chapter in which Cassis revealed himself recklessly to Elisha.

The sick man came back as a beast.

"Oh, we must be here."

My mother's voice struck me, and I shifted my gaze to the stopped train.

***

I stared at the silver hair, which clearly showed its presence in the crowd.

Blue eyes filled with melancholy.

Pale skin.

But why do your lips have such a good color?

I was mesmerized by the handsome Cassis more than I thought.

I see why Evelyn fell in love. How can you not fall for him when he's so handsome?
