The Male Lead I Raised Is Obsessed With Me — Chapter 5

madam, you're such a lucky charm!

Lucky charm..?

it's true, though!

no matter how hard i searched, i couldn't find a single coin,

but you found treasure in the castle almost as soon as you set foot inside!

Found it! Money!!

Oh, my~!!

THAT WAS...

JUST DUMB LUCK...

Basically cheating...

MORE LIKE A CHEAT CODE FROM KNOWING THE ORIGINAL STORY.

i hope you find another treasure, madam!

then we could buy more meat,

fix the fireplace,

and buy more firewood, too!

and then we could—

...BELLA, I GET IT. JUST FIND LUCE FOR NOW.

HE SAID HE WAS GOING OUT FOR SOME FRESH AIR, BUT HE LEFT WITHOUT A SCARF.

OH, RIGHT! I NEARLY FORGOT. Haha...

NOW, WHERE COULD THE YOUNG MASTER BE—

there he is!

THERE YOU ARE!

Weren't you cold?

...CAN I HUG YOU?

IN THE NOVEL "TAMING THE BEASTLY MAN,"

THE MALE LEAD HAD GROWN UP WITHOUT PROPER CARE SINCE CHILDHOOD

AND BECAME KNOWN AS THE "IRON-BLOODED DUKE," WHO HAD NEVER SMILED UNTIL HE MET THE FEMALE LEAD.

FOR 15 YEARS, HE AND FELIA WERE HUSBAND AND WIFE IN NAME ONLY.

HE'D HARDLY EVER LAID EYES ON HER,

AND HE WAS ESPECIALLY COLD TOWARD HER.

BUT THE MALE LEAD NOW—

...CAN I HUG YOU?

of course you can!!!

you can hug me anytime~!!

He's too adorable!!!

G-GOOD HEAVENS!!

THE ORIGINAL MALE LEAD, THE IRON-BLOODED DUKE WHO WAS COLD TO EVERYONE...

Except the female lead!

HE'S SO ADORABLE NOW I CAN BARELY STAND IT! SO PRECIOUS!

HE'S AN ACTUAL ANGEL!

TO THINK SUCH AN ANGELIC CHILD WOULD GROW UP TO BE SUCH A COLD MAN...

PUBERTY... COULD IT BE BECAUSE OF PUBERTY?!

Puberty really is terrifying!

WHENEVER YOU WANT A HUG, YOU CAN COME STRAIGHT TO ME!

You must've been cold.

UM... BUT...

IF I CAME RUNNING AND BUMPED INTO YOU, YOU MIGHT GET HURT, FELIA.

WERE YOU WORRIED ABOUT HURTING ME?

Seriously, where DID this little angel come from?!

SEEMS YOU'VE RECOVERED FROM YOUR ILLNESS, THEN?

HOW DARE HE INTERRUPT MY TIME WITH LUCE!

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

ARE YOU UPSET THAT LUCE GOT BETTER?

NO, NOT AT ALL. WHY WOULD I BE?

Well,

IT WAS JUST A COLD. IT WOULD'VE GONE AWAY ON ITS OWN.

WAS THERE REALLY ANY NEED TO WASTE SO MUCH MONEY ON A DOCTOR?

...IS ALL I'M SAYING.

AND NOW THAT WE'VE GOT OURSELVES A DUCHESS WHO THROWS MONEY AROUND WITHOUT KNOWING ITS VALUE,

I'M GENUINELY WORRIED ABOUT THE FUTURE OF HOUSE WALPURGA.

I'M MERELY OFFERING ADVICE AS A LOYAL SERVANT.

AAAAGH! THAT PIG!

I'LL MAKE HIM PAY!

MADAM! I'LL HELP YOU!

What a jerk!!

YEAH. WE WON'T LET HIM GET AWAY WITH THIS.

LUCE! CAN I REALLY THROW THAT MAN OUT?

YOU'RE NOT CLOSE TO HIM, ARE YOU?

NO, WE'RE NOT CLOSE.

AND EVEN IF WE WERE, IT WOULDN'T MATTER.

BECAUSE IF ANYONE DARE MAKES YOU UPSET,

I'LL TEAR THEM APART. I WON'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT...

HUH..?

DID I HEAR THAT WRONG?

I COULD'VE SWORN LUCE JUST SAID SOMETHING TERRIFYIG..?

BECAUSE YOU'RE MY...

...WIFE.

my luce is the best!!

FELIAA... YOU'RE SQUISHING ME...

HOW ADORABLE.

HOW CAN HE BE THIS LOVABLE?!

SOMEDAY, LUCE WILL UNDOUBTEDLY MARRY THE ORIGINAL FEMALE LEAD.

BUT I'M NOT JEALOUS AT ALL.

AFTER ALL, SHE'LL NEVER GET TO SEE THIS ADORABLE SIDE OF LUCE!

THE LUCE OF HIS CHILDHOOD...

IS MINE ALONE!

OH MY.

LOOKS LIKE THEY FELL ASLEEP READING TOGETHER.

They rode the sled in the garden.

WELL,

THEY MUST BE TIRED AFTER SLEDDING ALL DAY.

MADAM, YOU SHOULD GO SLEEP IN YOUR ROOM-

Y-

YOUNG MASTER LUCIUS...

DON'T TOUCH HER.
