The Male Lead I Raised Is Obsessed With Me — Chapter 8

WHITE HAIR...

VERTICAL SLIT PUPILS...

JUST LIKE...

THE EYES OF A REPTILE—

...WAIT, DON'T TELL ME...

YOU'RE THAT WHITE DRAGON?!

THAT'S CORRECT.

BUT HOW DID YOU FIND YOUR WAY HERE?

I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU THE SAME THING!

I WAS JUST AT THE CASTLE...

THE CASTLE? YOU MEAN WALPURGA CASTLE?

YEAH!

DID YOU BRING ME HERE?

I WAS RIGHT NEXT TO LUCE!!

PERHAPS I DID. PERHAPS I DIDN'T.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

...FELIA FOLDBISCH.

WAIT, I'M MARRIED NOW, SO MY NAME IS WALPURGA...

NO, NOT THAT.

SURELY YOU HAVE ANOTHER NAME?

FELIA...

YOU HAVEN'T BEEN CALLED THAT FOR VERY LONG.

DON'T YOU HAVE A NAME YOU'VE GONE BY FOR MUCH LONGER?

DOES HE KNOW I POSSESSED SOMEONE?

JUST WHAT ON EARTH IS HE?

WELL, NEVER MIND.

IF THAT'S THE NAME YOU WISH TO GO BY FROM NOW ON, THEN SO BE IT.

MORE IMPORTANTLY...

GIVE ME A NAME.

A NAME...?

ME?

..WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?

QUICKLY.

WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.

UH...

W-WELL, THEN...

BLACKIE?

BL-

BLACKIE...?!

THIS IS...

MY ROOM...?

FELIA!

YOU'RE FINALLY AWAKE!

YOU SUDDENLY COLLAPSED. I WAS SO WORRIED...

YOU DIDN'T OPEN YOUR EYES ALL DAY...

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, MY LADY?!

I'M SO RELIEVED YOU'RE AWAKE AND SAFE.

THE MASTER WAS SO WORRIED THAT HE STAYED BY YOUR SIDE THE ENTIRE TIME.

...SO WHAT WAS THAT DRAGON, ANYWAY?

SOME MYSTERIOUS BEING SLEEPING BENEATH THE CASTLE?

CHECK THE PLACE WHERE YOU LOST CONSCIOUSNESS...

WHATEVER IT WAS, I'M SO GLAD IT GAVE ME A HINT ABOUT WHERE FROG HAD HIDDEN THE STASH...!

YOU'RE REALLY FEELING ALL RIGHT NOW, AREN'T YOU?

of course! i feel great!

i slept like a log, so my head is completely clear.

and i have some good news.

i found it!

W-WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS...?

CAN'T PRETEND YOU DON'T KNOW ANYMORE, CAN YOU, FROG?

THERE'S NO POINT MAKING EXCUSES, MR. FROG!

HOW ON EARTH DID THEY FIND THE TREASURE I HID?!

THIS RING BEARS THE CREST OF HOUSE WALPURGA.

IT'S A RING PASSED DOWN FROM ONE HEAD OF THE DUCAL FAMILY TO THE NEXT.

WHY DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS?

DON'T TELL ME THE FORMER DUKE LEFT EVEN THIS TO YOU AS A KEEPSAKE?

TO A MERE SERVANT INSTEAD OF HIS OWN HEIR?

TH-THAT'S...

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!

GUARDS! SEIZE HIM! DON'T LET HIM ESCAPE!

YES, MY LADY!

YOU INSO- LENT FOOLS!!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?!

YOU TWO ARE THE STABLE BOY AND THE GARDENER...?!

I-I WAS WRONG!

PLEASE, SPARE ME!!!

WELL, NOW.

FROM EMBEZZLING THE FAMILY'S FORTUNE TO STEALING THE HEIRLOOMS THE LATE DUKE LEFT TO LUCE,

EVERY SINGLE OFFENSE HAS BEEN PROVEN.

YOU DESPICABLE MAN!

YOU EMBEZZLED OUR FORTUNE WHILE WATCHING THE YOUNG MASTER SUFFER FROM ILLNESS AND LEAVING THE REST OF US TO STARVE?!

THIS IS PUNISHMENT ON BEHALF OF THE MADAM AND THE DUKE!

OOH, GET HIM, BELLA!

EVERYTHING WENT SMOOTHLY AFTER THAT.

NO MATTER HOW TRUSTED AN AIDE FROG HAD BEEN TO THE FORMER DUKE,

EMBEZZLEMENT WAS A CRIME THAT COULD NEVER BE OVERLOOKED.

AFTER A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION, ALL OF FROG'S MISDEEDS CAME TO LIGHT,

AND HE WAS STRIPPED OF EVERYTHING AND BANISHED, SPARED ONLY FROM EXECUTION.

what a relief!!

we finally got rid of that headache!

now we can relax for a while!!

i knew it, my lady!!! you really are our family's lucky charm!!

OH, STOP~

how about we go for an evening stroll together?

WE'D LOVE TO~!

...OR SO I THOUGHT, IF ONLY FOR A FLEETING MOMENT.

WHAT.?

R-REPAY A DEBT OF ONE BILLION MARK?!

THE HARDSHIPS WE'D ENDURED SO FAR WERE ONLY THE BEGINNING.
