I wasn't surprised because I expected the other person to know about themselves and my identity.
I must have forgotten to say that Dietrich was an idiot, and Yuno must have said so.
But my heart was a little shaken by the subsequent display of genuine greed.
“You said I was the main character.”
An attitude that seems to think that one should be the center.
Titiana's eyes widened. Her smile was quite charming, but I still stared at her expressionlessly.
"You say all men praise and follow me? Thank you for making me that way."
Unlike me, who denied that this was my world, the other person seemed to have adapted very well.
"How thrilling it was to find out this fact. Well, even without it, I'd be the center of the world."
That too well.
“I’m the main character. This is a truly perfect novel.”
The heroine takes it for granted that this place is a novel. This is different from what I thought. She seems to want to live here.
Yeah, that's good.
Because the male protagonists who want you don't have to live without you.
"Thank god."
I said it with all my heart.
"I'm glad you readily acknowledged my identity as the protagonist. When we met last time, I thought you were trying to antagonize me."
Titiana, who was still smiling, felt unfamiliar.
“You didn’t know I was the main character back then, did you?”
I nodded.
“I didn’t write the heroine as a woman who pours other people’s wine on her dress for no reason.”
I replied in a light tone. Titiana must have thought I was joking, judging by the way she smiled back at me.
“Lady Hayley!”
Lady Roald, who had noticed the situation, approached, but when Yuno gently waved his hand, he flew away with a whoosh.
“Lady Roald!”
“What is going on!”
Soon, screams filled the courtyard, and Lady Roald seemed to be carried away in a hurry. The gazes that had been watching us also dispersed.
I couldn't help but frown at the sight.
More than Yuno's actions, the sight of the heroine casually ordering someone to harm someone is unfamiliar to me.
“Don’t worry about such trivial things.”
Titianna moved my chin with the end of the fan she was holding, making me look at her.
One day, I remembered Shish gently pushing my cheek with the back of his hand, even though he was angry.
“Because what’s important is ‘me.’”
The black eyes, similar to mine but different, twinkled like those of a locust.
“I’m the main character, so shouldn’t I have everything, author?”
I remained motionless at the sight of Titiana, still smiling brightly. A hint of embarrassment flashed across her eyes, but soon her smile returned.
And then she spoke to me as if declaring war.
“So give me what you have too.”
“What are you going to do with them?”
“What should I do? I have to take everything as originally planned.”
“I shall take it, I shall take it...”
I must have forgotten to say that Dietrich was an idiot, and Yuno must have said so.
But my heart was a little shaken by the subsequent display of genuine greed.
“You said I was the main character.”
An attitude that seems to think that one should be the center.

“So give me what you have too.”
“What are you going to do with them?”
“What should I do? I have to take everything as originally planned.”
“I shall take it, I shall take it...”
I muttered to myself what Titiana had said several times.
I've always considered the protagonists as characters, but never as objects. Even now, after witnessing Dietrich and Yuno, who were captivated by the heroine according to established rules, I still remain.
If I didn't respect their feelings, I wouldn't want them to be happy.
“Yes, I must have it. The Crown Prince and the Prime Minister were very envious of it.”
“What are you going to do with it?”
"What am I supposed to do? Shouldn't I just exist, breathing? Admired by men who have it all."
Until the very end, I had high expectations.
If the female protagonist cherished the male protagonists even a little, I'd gladly leave Shish behind. If that meant his happiness, I was determined to tear out my growing heart.
Just once, I wanted to hold on to someone with all my might, but I was willing to give it up for the sake of their happiness.
I thought I could be unhappy and live my whole life wearing a mask.
But I don't like you being around someone like this, Shish.
I will make you happy.
I spoke clearly to Titiana, who looked full of anticipation.
“I can’t give it to you.”
"...What?"
“They are not something I can give to you.”
Titiana's face becomes increasingly distorted and unpleasant.
"It's up to them whether they go to you or not. If they don't want to go, I can't force them."
Perhaps because I said it with a big smile, Titiana seemed to know that this was a lie.
“If you don’t want to give it to me, just say so! Don’t keep talking nonsense like that.”
“If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do.”
“I can’t help it. You have to die.”
Titiana recited lines like a third-rate villain. I'll never write another novel, but if I do, I'll definitely describe the heroine's personality.
At least she doesn't seem like a third-rate villain.
“If I kill you, those who have nowhere to go will come to me.”
“Hahaha, is that really true?”
I laughed out loud.
“Kill me.”
When I came out confidently, it was Titiana who was embarrassed.
Actually, my heart was pounding too.
Yuno's magic doesn't work on me, but his physical attacks do. What if he destroys that building over there and drops the debris on me?
Will that be invalidated or not?
I couldn't figure it out.
But I, who was good at playing calmly, deliberately looked straight at the Tower Master.
“Yuno, you know. That I have a special body.”
“You mean, magic doesn’t work?”
"Yes. Actually, I tried to keep it a secret, but I have no choice but to tell you. It's because I'm connected to this world that such things happen."
No.
“Even if you pour magic power into me, it appears to pass through my body because the magic power returns to nature.”
“So that means the bowl is that big?”
Even in the midst of all this, Yuno's eyes sparkled at the newfound knowledge. Who would call him a knowledge aesthete?
"Yes."
I almost burst out laughing, but I held it in and answered with a mysterious tone.
“Because I am this world itself.”
Not at all.
I turned my head and saw Titiana trembling.
“If you kill me, this world where you are the main character will also collapse.”
I smiled, my lips twisted.
“So try it.”
Titiana's lips trembled. Wasn't there something like this in your scenario?
“Yes. If I can’t kill you, then I can change my plans.”
There was poison in his black eyes.
“You have no choice but to give them to me, no.”
Red lips sting venomously.
“I’ll make it so they have no choice but to come to me.”
After finishing speaking, Titiana and Yuno teleported away.
People who had been watching from afar approached hesitantly.
“There will be no danger now.”
As I approached with a smile, everyone looked around in disbelief.
“Lady Flan, I’m sorry I ruined tonight’s party.”
First, I greeted the host.
“No, what could be wrong with Lady Hayley?”
The other person was a good person and quickly accepted my apology.
“I don’t know if we can have a tea party this season, but if you invite me later, please come.”
"Sure."
After greeting the cheerful Lady Flan, I asked for the understanding of those around me and went home.
I wanted to see him.
“Still, this won’t work.”
I carry the palace pass my senior made for me. I use it to ride in Marquis Hayley's carriage.
It's nothing special, as everyone, including high-ranking nobles and those working in the palace, has it.
But it would be strange if a woman with no official position, recently adopted by the Marquis family, were to be hanging around the Ministry of the Interior, where the Prime Minister works, holding this!
I was so shocked by Titiana that I was overly emotional.
As I was quietly hiding in the bushes and heading towards the Rose Palace, someone called out to me.
“What are you doing here, junior?”
"Senior."
I was relieved that he was someone I knew and motioned for him to come over.
“I didn’t mean to come here.”
“Did you take the wrong road?”
"Yes."
When I nodded hurriedly, my senior, perhaps because I found his words persuasive, hid himself in the bushes without saying a word.
“But why are you hiding here, senior?”
“Because you’re here?”
"It'll be easy to stand out if you're here, senior. Let's go."
“Do you know where this is?”
“No. Where is it?”
I already knew, but I kept pretending not to know.
“Where the main departments are gathered.”
I frowned at my senior, who was observing my reaction.
Tiyongtiyongtiyongtiyong.
The red alert sounds.
“Then, you have to be even more careful not to get caught.”
"Why?"
“Why? Of course...!”
I was so angry that I couldn't continue speaking as I looked at the silver-gray eyes that were staring at me calmly.
That's right, my senior said he liked me. How should I reject him in this situation?
You'd have to have been in a relationship to know. No, this seems like a special situation, but is common sense really applicable?
"Anyway, I'll be going. Right, I have something to talk about later, so please come to the Rose Palace. Got it?"
“It’s my first time being invited by a junior.”
"This is your house, senior. Of course, there's no reason for me to invite you."
The senior smiled strangely and nodded.
“Yes, I’ll go after work.”
I hurriedly rolled up my skirt and left. Fortunately, I arrived at the Rose Palace without running into anyone.
“Wow, it’s been a really crazy day.”
Perhaps what happened at Count Flan's residence would soon reach not only my senior and Lily, but also Shish.
“If I tell Lily that Titiana threatened me... will there be a fight?”
That's true, but given Lily's personality, I don't think she'll stay still. But I don't think Titiana will stay still either.
Luckily, Lily didn't come until dinnertime, and I lay in bed trying to come up with an excuse to make to her.
It was that evening that I heard that Dietrich, that is, the Commander of the Knights, had resigned.
“Even if you pour magic power into me, it appears to pass through my body because the magic power returns to nature.”
“So that means the bowl is that big?”
Even in the midst of all this, Yuno's eyes sparkled at the newfound knowledge. Who would call him a knowledge aesthete?
