Chapter 36

“You must be sleepy,” Alexa said in a voice mixed with laughter. It must be tiring for him to destroy the big doll like that. 

Alexa clicked her tongue and brushed Ysildus’ fur.
Then Terrun buried his head on her table and showed it to her.
Alexa smiled and patted Terrun’s head as well.

It was in the evenings that wolves howled in the night.
The Head Maid who was taking care of Alexa, Terrun, and Ysildus’ dinner, came and smiled.
Terrun and Alexa fell asleep on the table, while Ysildus was rolled up on Alexa’s lap.
It was a scene where one couldn’t help but smile. 

The Head Maid glanced at Selina, who was following after her. 

“Clean up the room.” 

“Yes, Head Maid.” Selina bowed her head. 

Selina stooped her body under the Head Maid’s watch.
As she picked up the scattered cotton and put them inside her apron, the sound of breathing that was ringing in her ears was annoying her. 

Alexa was just as despicable, pretending to be innocent.
She obviously did it while telling her that she could be close to Terrun and Ysildus, then asking them to be ‘friends’.
A deep sense of inferiority and defeat took root in Selina. 

So, there’s no need for me to feel guilty – about her driving out Alexa and taking that place.
Selina gritted her teeth.
The cotton that stuck to her hands due to static electricity was also annoying. 

Selina proudly lifted her body and headed out of the room – without knowing that the Head Maid was clicking her tongue as she watched the whole thing. 

“What should we do if the toy doesn’t do its job, Butler?” 

The Head Maid asked the butler, who came directly to find the children when they didn’t even come when the dinner was ready.
The butler’s blue eyes flashed. 

“What are you worried about? All you have to do is kill it and buy a new toy.” 

“Miss Alexa is going to be sad.
We’d better wait and see.
Until we have an excuse to kick out that kid.” 

The butler and the Head Maid nodded with a faint smile on their faces.
A conspiracy was blooming, not only in Selina’s head but also inside the butler’s and Head Maid’s minds. 

“But I’m glad that Miss Alexa seems happy.
Hmm, I think it would be a good idea to arrange a meeting with other Young Ladies after Young Master Ysildus’ second growth*.” 

(T/N: *After Ysildus turned into a human body.)

“We’d better ask for permission and proceed when the Grand Duke and the Grand Duchess return.” 

What can you do for Alexa’s pleasure? If Selina stays here until the end and helped Alexa make more friends, then when Alexa is no longer interested in Selina, then they can secretly get rid of her.
There were infinitely many ways to deal with Selina without hurting Alexa’s feelings. 

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

Selina spared no effort to get close to Ysildus in the original story.
That was why she won the favor of the Grand Duke’s people, and Terrun followed her.
As described in the novel, Selina was an adorable, kind, and cheerful child. 

But the Selina Alexa meeting in person was different.
She invited Selina to a tea party for her and Ysildus to have time together.
In fact, even without the tea party, it was time for Ysildus and Terrun to eat refreshments.
It was the time the Thersion Castle’s dietitian recommended for Alexa’s health. I invited Selina at that time…. 

 

‘Is it because she’s the female lead?’

Aside from the fact that she kept feeling chilly for some reason, she was naturally asking Alexa what she wanted. 

“Your bracelet is really pretty, Miss Alexa.”

“Ah, this…”

Then, she smiled without saying anything.
Alexa knew what that gesture meant.
Alexa, who had lived in Korean society, it wasn’t difficult for her to recognize such a sly move. 

Alexa took off her bracelet from her wrist.
Giving her something like this isn’t that hard.
It is something that would soon belong to Selina. 

“I’ll give it to Selina.”

“I didn’t mean it this way, but… I appreciate it.” 

Selina smiled and wrapped the bracelet in her hand.
Her hand was quick to snatch the bracelet while her mouth was saying no. 

Terrun and Ysildus bared their teeth at her at the same time, but nothing was a threat to Selina when Alexa was in front of her.
That’s because they are kind and weak in front of Alexa’s eyes.
The wolves knew how to not be hated by Alexa. 

Alexa looked at Selina with a puzzled look on her face.
She was afraid of something else. 

‘The character settings have changed.’ 

After having them together like this and watching them a few times, she noticed something.
Selina, Terrun, and Ysildus – they were quite different from what Alexa read and felt in the 《The Puppy Grand Duke’s Succession Class》.
This wasn’t what Alexa expected. 

Alexa was able to live fearlessly because she had an understanding of the overall plot and characters of the novel – because she had confidence that she can predict and act on every situation.
However, it was subtly changing from what Alexa knew – from the time when Selina’s appearance was delayed. 

‘I don’t know…’

Alexa sipped on her tea to hide her unfamiliar feelings toward them. 

‘Is it because of me?’

Much has changed since Alexa entered the novel.
The character Alexa wasn’t killed, and the Grand Duke and his wife lived.
And the biggest change is that Alexa was now in Selina’s place. 

‘Is that so?’

Selina’s settings might have been transferred to Alexa. 

Alexa’s trembling eyes turned to Selina.
Her eyes were sparkling with hidden greed as she stared at the bracelet on her wrist.
Selina’s settings were now given to Alexa, and Selina now was given a new set of settings.
That’s probably why Alexa was feeling bitter about Selina. 

‘Is it… completely different?’ 

Alexa’s heart was pounding. 

‘So, does that mean I don’t have to give it back to Selina?’ 

Alexa felt greedy for this position she initially thought was Selina’s.
Greet took hold of her heart.
It was the desire to not let go and give back the affection and goodwill she received. 

Of course, she had no intention of completely turning away from Selina.
Now, she has really stolen what was Selina’s.
If Selina, who had a change in her setting, wants wealth, then she would give her as much as she took from her – if Thersion’s favor would be left to Alexa as it is. 

Alexa suppressed her joy and asked Selina, “How about tea? Is the cake to your liking?”

“Yes, Miss Alexa.
Nothing is missing.” 

Selina ran her fingers on the flowers that decorated the silverware. 

The story that the Head Maid bought a collection of cute tea sets that would suit Alexa was famous among the maids.
Though it seems like she was using it without much thought. 

Selina scooped the cake with a fork and imitated the image of high-ranking nobles.
She learned it from Ruella. 

“I’m glad it suits your taste.” 

Alexa pushed the cake a little more to Selina’s. 

“What about me?” 

Terrun suddenly held out a plate.
Alexa put some cake on it. 

“You don’t even eat sweets.
Is this delicious?” 

“Yeah, everything is delicious.”

Terrun nodded and shoved the cake into his mouth.
Meanwhile, he did not hide any hostility towards Selina.
He doesn’t like Alexa being nice to Selina.
Terrun ate the cake with a glum look.
Of course, jealousy played a part as well. 

Ysildus, who was calmly sleeping with his lower belly exposed after Alexa gave him a snack, sensed a bad feeling and raised his head.
Raising his head with a pair of sleepy eyes, Ysildus hit Alexa’s leg with his front paw. 

“Huh?”

Alexa lowered her head.
Ysildus, who had been sleeping with his pink belly exposed and crouched on his front paws, woke up and was still looking at Alexa in that position. 

“Kiiing…”

“Why are you crying? Ysu, did you have a bad dream?” 

Alexa got down from her chair and sat down on the rug.
Thanks to Ysildus, Alexa could sit anywhere on the floor as the whole mansion was covered with thick carpets and rugs.
The people of Thersion Castle thought that the world would collapse if Alexa caught a cold. 

Alexa gently rubbed Ysildus’s belly.
Ysildus gently closed his sleepy eyes again. 

‘Anyway, it’s only a seed of interest.’ 

It was only natural for dogs to like and follow people, but Ysildus seemed to have gone far.
When Alexa sits down, he would make sure his whole body was clinging to her or pushing his head to the side.
And just like now, he was asking her to adore him. 

‘Cute…’

She gently rubbed Ysildus’ stomach, who fell asleep again, as if she was frozen in her position. He’s soft and fluffy.
In addition, he was full as he ate too much. Alexa unconsciously smiled. 

(T/N: I am glad Alexa was also greedy and noticed the difference between the original and the place she is living now.
She was not as naive as I initially thought happy bunny)
