2024-10-29 19:42:56Seraphine sat on the couch in Kayden's office, watching the man work. She wasn't particularly bored as various matters went through her mind.
Honestly, she was being treated too generously by Kayden. This could be due to the fact that he recognized her.
But then, she brushed that thought away, believing it to be too far-fetched.
This was because the her right now was too different from the Seraphine Kayden once used to know.
Even Seraphine sometimes doubted she was actually a Vougeious once, judging from her state.
Seraphine right now didn't even feel like a woman, let alone a noble lady. Even if Seraphine acted wildly, she still had the mannerisms of a noble lady.
Probably if she continued with this act, one of these days, she would start doubting her own gender and consider herself to be a true man.
Seraphine sighed at that though

One of the thing Seraphine was extremely sensitive to was hate, and she could feel it being directed towards her, mostly by the males, while she followed Kayden the entire day.Maybe because she had been with Kayden, the intensity was lowered, and the most they did was only glower at her. Without his presence, she would most likely be tortured by them physically.Just the thought of that was enough to make her shudder.The fact that she was patronized by others for the crime of harassing her own body would be funny to her if her life wasn't on the line.At least, praises of 'Seraphine' didn't reach back home or else she would be worried about a place to go back to. Of course, this didn't imply she was safe from the clutches of this fervent fanboys.They could totally follow her back home, and they had the backing of money.A sigh escaped from Se

Seraphine did feel extremely restless when she was kept beside Kayden, not doing anything. Therefore, pushing down her fear, she decided to question the man when she was taken with him for inspection."Commander Clementis, I appreciate the energy you are putting in this, but do you know how long will it be taking for the charges to be cleared?"Seraphine truthfully didn't understand what the man was looking for or was trying to prove. He knows in his heart, Seraphine had been falsely accused yet he is continuing with this.Of course, Seraphine knows this is for the greater plans he is attempting to come up with. But at this point, Seraphine was starting to get curious on what that is.No matter how hard she tried, she wasn't able to get her mind off it. That's why, she decided to bite the bullet and break off whatever was between Kayden and her.Kayden remained silent. This

"You're refusing?" The man seemed to be pretty taken aback."You're not going to tell me that I am obliged to follow through, Commander Clementis," Seraphine pointed out.She almost groaned at the thought of those strenuous exercise that came with strict routines and a frightening teacher. This is not what she wanted; she wanted real task.However, she doubted she would have the privilege to that for a long time."No," he curtly answered.Noticing his change of mood, Seraphine wondered whether or not his pride had been hurt by how quick she was to refuse. Then again, Kayden was far from seeming that petty.Catching up to the man and standing beside him, Seraphine chimed, "I would prefer to be beside you at all times without working. It would make it easier for me to admire you."°°°

Seraphine stared at the shabby couch in the room. The furniture didn't look like it would provide comfort to Seraphine, and she was contemplating whether to rest on it or the bed.Of course, matters would have been better if Kayden was considerate enough to book another room for her. However, it was him paying, not her, so she didn't have much space for complaints."It's fine. You can manage," Seraphine mumbled before going over to the couch. At the end, although the couch was small, at least it seemed softer than the floor.The entire trip caused the muscles in her body to ache, and hitting the couch, she was ready to fall asleep with a smile on her face when her name was called."Blair."Instantly, on reflex, she straightened up and sat on the couch. Her eyes fell on Kayden who now stepped out of the shower, and his chest was fully on display.For a second

"This path seems familiar. Are you going to the North?" Seraphine questioned. A sparkle settled in her eyes due to recognizing the place."Hmm," Kayden answered.Cheerfully, Seraphine stated, "I came here once before with Hamilton. Back then, we were too frightened to experience. Let me tell you, I have great courage, but it's Hamilton's fear that ended up affecting me.""Is that so?""Yes! There's absolutely nothing that I fear, well, except for pain I suppose. But these days, I feel like I have pretty much become resistant to that," Seraphine said.Maybe because of the mood she was in, Seraphine carried on, "In the beginning, I thought you were to torture me and was petrified.But it turned out that Commander Clementis is an extremely generous man! I am fond of how you uphold your principles and don't harm the innocents even for th

"No, ordinary people can't visit the Temple. Among us, only Commander and few other Nobles can," the man answered.At that, Seraphine had the urge to roll her eyes. Even the Temple sought after the influential. No wonder the religion wasn't widespread across the country.Seraphine did read about how the Temple wants to keep it's surroundings pure and all that. However, if that were to be the case, the person selected wouldn't be based on status.Status has nothing to do with how darkened one might be.Nonetheless, Seraphine made no comment on how power hungry the Temple was and spoke out, "What name do you go by, Sir Knight? Of course, if you aren't displeased to answer that.""Certainly not." The Knight chuckled. "You can call me Daniel Chizer. My rank isn't that high among other personal knights of Commander Clementis.Nonetheless, I am

"Repay the favour?" Seraphine questioned raising one of her eyebrows. "Ah! Your land, so your snow. Is that how it works here?"She received no reply from Kayden and carried on, "Commander Clementis, my life belongs to you. How about it? I will do anything you like.""Keep that in mind," he stated.With that, Kayden began to step forward, and a wide grin formed on Seraphine's face before she questioned, "So, am I allowed to play or not?""Do as you wish."Hearing that from him caused Seraphine's eyes to sparkle, and as for the promise made to Kayden, she didn't worry much about it, trusting the man to not do anything unjust to her.There's nothing of use Kayden can take from her, and moreover, she was grateful to him. Being under his presence worked as protection for her. She was well aware how she would be long dead if it wasn't for him taking

This was the second time she was meeting Noah after changing bodies. Conflicting emotions rose in her while she observed the man. Last time, she wasn't able to properly watch him.Despite his age, the man was still attractive. In fact, it felt as if the time added more charm to him. Given that now she was Seraphine, she would've praised on his everlasting handsome face.Just as Seraphine felt Noah's eyes on her, she instantly turned away her gaze. It was mostly instinctive on her part.When she finally looked back to him, he no longer paid attention to her and exchanged greetings with Kayden prior to sitting beside him.The two of them started to discuss matters. Everything was strictly business, and only few parts of it was something Seraphine was able to understand.The condition at the North was terrible after the recent war, and Kayden came here to distribute th

Both Jiyeon and Taeyang was on the cleaning duty for the class. As Jiyeon was arranging the table, she noticed that Taeyang was staring at her with a mildly amused smile on his face.That aggravated her, and she expressed, “What? What are you looking at?”Without saying anything, he made his way over to her. Then, extending his hand, he touched her face and stroked it before voicing out, “You don’t have to do anything to make me jealous.”Her eyes widened at his words, and she stepped back, feeling totally exposed under that gaze of his.She then stuttered, “W-What do you mean?”Clearing her throat, she spoke with more confidence: “What sort of nonsense are you uttering now? Me making you jealous? Why would I do something so absurd?”She scoffed.He chuckled and stated, “Is that so? I know you well, Seraphine. You can’t hide from me.”“What? How can y

“Hold on, hold on, he actually said that to you!?” Aera exclaimed in disbelief. “Whoa! He is seriously a player.”Sitting on her bed, Jiyeon took a sip from her strawberry milk and stared down. The events of the other day still heated up her cheeks. Taeyang simply looked too dashing.“How did he know I was there though?” Jiyeon questioned. “Could it be a coincidence?”“About that,” Aera voiced out, “I might have spilled out your location to him.”Jiyeon raised an eyebrow.“Well, he called me, asking where you are as your phone was shut off, and I told him you’re on a date. Then, he questioned me about the location, and he is too scary. I wasn’t able to hide it.”Jiyeon could see where Aera was coming from. After the confrontation she had with Taeyang the other day, he really had a fierce side to him. Maybe because she w

Just as she was about to hug Yejoon, Jiyeon felt herself being dragged back by a large force, and this caused her eyes to widen. She turned her head to look at the one behind it and was shocked to see Taeyang standing there.What was he doing here?His eyes fiercely stared at her, causing her to be shaken up, and it appeared that he was only slightly away from bursting off at her. This was the first time she had faced this side of hers, making her wonder on how she had possibly offended him.“Who are you? It’s too impolite to pull someone this way,” Yejoon voiced out.Jiyeon smiled at him and expressed, “It’s fine. I know him. You can leave now.”Yejoon seemed a little hesitant. Nonetheless, he nodded before leaving. Before she could wave her hand at him, her face was gripped by Taeyang, and he forced her to meet his eyes.“Who is he?” Taeyang questioned, and his tone held immense intensity&mda

Jiyeon totally erased from her mind about asking Taeyang about why he stayed with her that night. This was surely done out of friendship, and there was no need to make the matters awkward by probing into this topic. This is how Jiyeon managed to convince herself.But when Taeyang came for the tutoring session on the next day, Jiyeon felt pained upon seeing him, and it was hard for her to keep on behaving normally as if nothing had happened. Taeyang surely had noticed something due to how silent she had been. That’s why, she appreciated him not asking anything about it.As Jiyeon was going through the book in her hand, Taeyang’s phone rang, and a picture popped up on the screen. It was the image of the woman she had seen with him yesterday; she was called Jihye.“Excuse me for a second.”With that said, he stood up and received the call. Jiyeon observed his expressions. His eyes widened for a second— probably shocked by what h
Help! I don't want to be the female lead Heartbroken
Jiyeon’s breathing for that instant stopped, and her heart clenched painfully. A nauseating feeling arose in her stomach. That’s why, holding her mouth, she stood up and rushed towards the washroom. At the same time, her eyes were flooded with tears.Seeing Jiyeon’s reaction caused a frown to form upon Taeyang’s features, and he did call after her. But she paid no mind to his words. He wanted to go after her, but that’s when his attention fell on her phone. It seemed that she saw something on the device.Picking the device up, his eyes fell on the screen, and that’s when he understood why she had shown such an intense reaction. This was due to a certain name she had seen— Kayden.He shut her phone and let out a sigh.°°°After washing her face, Jiyeon came out of the washroom and then said, “I am sorry. I suddenly felt sick.”Taeyang stood up and made his way over to Jiyeon. H

Taeyang shot her a quizzical look, not clearly expecting her to mention this right now, before that changed to amusement, and he voiced out, “Why are you so curious about that?”Jiyeon believed that she had decent acting skills when she smiled and said, “Am I not your friend? This simply is an enough reason for me to know about it. Now, quick, quick, tell me who is it that managed to steal that heart of yours.”“Because you are my friend?” The boy stated.There was a certain amount of amusement present in his tone, and this caused her to feel nervous. Certainly, he didn’t notice her intentions, right? Although she did feel very much exposed under his gaze, she tried to convince herself that the boy wasn’t capable of reading minds.Jiyeon nodded.“Can I not ask as your friend about the girl you like?”“Of course, you can ask,” Taeyang said, “And as for who the perso

“Of course not. What are you talking about? You can feel comfortable at here. You have done a lot for Jiyeon, and we are thankful to you for that,” her mother voiced out.Hearing how gently her mother was speaking made Jiyeon scoff and say, “I didn’t know that you are able to talk in this manner, Mother; I thought you were only capable of shouting.”This caused her mother to glare at Jiyeon and state, “Shut up! Make yourself useful for once, and set up the table.”Although Jiyeon rolled her eyes at her mother, she did as the woman ordered as she made her way over to the kitchen. Tilting her head from the kitchen, she could see that small conversation went on between her mother and Taeyang. This caused her to wonder what the content was.Nevertheless, Jiyeon was quick to her feet and arranged the table without causing much accidents. Once done with that, she took her seat and called for

Jiyeon had to admit that Taeyang was great at explaining her. It was as if he understood her and knew how to keep her concentration on the subject. No matter how much she wanted to distract him or ask him unnecessary questions, he didn’t let that happen.And as for the last part of the session, he gave her few problems to solve, saying, “After you are able to solve them all and get half of them correct, you can go home.”Jiyeon was dumbfounded by the expectations he held on her. Even on the subject she found the easiest, getting half correct was hard for her.“Can’t we lower the bar a little? Today is the first day after all. Let’s settle for forty percent.”He shook his head and voiced out, “If you get more than fifty percent, I will reward you.”That did sound appealing to her, and knowing that there was no place for argument, she attempted the questions I hopes of attaining that reward.

It didn’t take Taeyang long to finish making the breakfast, and even though Jiyeon had a large intake of sugar now, that didn’t take away from her appetite when she smelled the pancakes. This caused her to feel sudden hunger.Taeyang placed the glass of orange juice in front of her before serving her pancakes and covering those up with syrup. Yurie’s mouth watered as she held her fork and voiced out, “Thank you.”After that, given how delicious the pancakes were, it didn’t take her long to finish eating them, and once done with that, she stared at Taeyang with impressed eyes.“Whoa! This is seriously good,” Jiyeon voiced out, “You really have a way to lower my self-esteem.”“Don’t worry about that. Collectively, you are way better than me.”This made Jiyeon scrunch up her nose and vocalize, “We both know that is not the case. I am far from being half as good as you.
