All Chapters of Help! I don't want to be the female lead: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Seraphine was guided to the parlor. Apparently, the guests haven't arrived yet, so it was fine for the family to be gathered there.A nonchalant expression sat on Seraphine's face while she attempted to hide her feelings. No matter what happened, she acted as if it had no relation with her.Before the maid before them opened the door, Lyle placed her hand on Seraphine's hand and softly said, "Happy birthday."Seraphine's eyes widened due to his words, and she wondered whether or not she had misheard it. She raised her head to see his face, and seeing nothing on it, she shook her head subtly.Even if he wished him, it was not a big deal to him; it was most likely a courtesy, rather than a sincere wish. After all, this was common.Seraphine entered into the room and was met with the bubbly face of her mother. The only one in the room with a visibly bright expression was Evangeline.As

Maeryn was dumbfounded as if not expecting that from Seraphine before chuckling to brush off that awkwardness and speaking up, "Ah! Yes, Lady Seraphine. I am sorry; I must have forgotten."Seraphine pulled her hands back.Someone as dense as Maeryn was able to notice the unfriendliness and coldness in Seraphine's tone, and therefore, she didn't dare refute despite her displeasure.Seraphine nodded.This wasn't enough to put down Maeryn's mood for the girl became excited again and rushed to tell, "I heard that you managed to invite the Crown Prince! I heard gossips on how handsome he looked and talented he was! Due to this, I have been looking forward to see him!"Most of the people on the invite list was decided on by Lyle, and as the contents of the novels were getting blurry too, Seraphine didn't remember a small detail as the Crown Prince coming over to her fifth birthday.Nothin

Seraphine kept a close eye on Sharon as the little girl ate pastries, treating them akin to a treasure, and once again that ache travelled through her heart.At times, she used her handkerchief to wipe off the crumbs on Sharon's face, and following that, Sharon continued eating in a bright mood.Her eyes then fell on Kayden. She could easily pamper Sharon for to her, the girl was cute and easily resembled a child in her behaviour.Same couldn't be said for Kayden who was much mature, and that's why, although Seraphine was mentally older, she treated the boy as someone of her age."Do you not like these?" Seraphine questioned, indicating the snacks placed before them.Other than drinking tea, Kayden hadn't touched the cookies neither did he go after the cakes. As a child, she didn't believe he wouldn't be tempted unless he wasn't fond of them.He responded, "It's not that I am fond o

No matter how much she desired to have this serious conversation with him, seeing him sit in front of her made her feel awkward, and she didn't know how to start the words.As Lyle was concentrated on his tea, Seraphine picked up the plate with slice of cake on it and absentmindedly, stuck her fork into it."What was it that you wanted to talk about?" Lyle questioned. "You even softened your attitude for it."Seraphine raised her head and said, "That, Brother, were you hurt by my rude attitude?"The instant those words left her mouth she noticed Lyle had grimaced, and his expression seemed to ask her whether or not she was talking nonsense.Seraphine chuckled. This was after all what she had expected from her brother."In the beginning, Brother, I tried to get along with everyone and do whatever you wanted me to. You noticed that as well, right?But overtime, I hate

Prior to attending the classes, she made sure to check with Clayton and recorded what was taught to beginners in sword training.After that, Lyle informed her, on subjects only required for female, she will be taught along with Sharon. As for the gender neutral subjects, the classes will be attended with Eli Weiton and the twins.The sword training classes will be done with Eli and Kayden, and with that, her schedule was all packed. Nonetheless, Seraphine felt satisfied.Eli wasn't fond of her neither was she of that egoistical, cold brat. As long as they kept away from each of their paths, it would be alright.With all that settled, she waited for Kayden and Sharon to arrive, so that they can go shopping together. Shopping would be able to energize her before the classes were able to start.As Seraphine tapped her fingers on the table, she counted time before twins arrived, and hearing their voices
