All Chapters of The tragic supporting actress in the Duke's household: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Unexpectedly, my bruise-prone body helped a lot. After the incident ended satisfactorily, I moved in next door to my sister Claire. My new room was many times larger than before. The head maid was fired, and no one dared bully Sharon anymore. Everything was perfect.That's what I thought until I opened the door the next morning and saw Elio's face.I slowly closed the door, smiling.Why does he have to live right across the street from me?There was a knock at the door. What had to be, would be. I decided to greet my fate with a smile."Good morning, Master Arios!"Arios still had the same half-smile. He didn't have the innocence of a child. He was obviously only thirteen years old, but he was really old for his age."Inette, the tailor will be here this afternoon to make some formal dresses for you. Stay in your room and wait for me at noon."A formal occasion?In the original story, Inette never attended a social occasion before the age of sixteen. I seem to have taken a different p

The bandits from the circus were all lying on the ground in a mess, unconscious. The magician took a crumpled piece of paper from his chest, unfolded it, and placed it next to me, comparing it back and forth.After a while, as if he had confirmed it, he smiled and patted my head."Yes! You're the one! Miss Inette, right?"He knows me?"It's me! Thank you for saving me, but how do you know my name?"He handed me the paper in his hand, and I unfolded it to look at it....What is this drawing?"Your portrait is all over the streets, and your family has offered a large reward for your capture."The word "reward" sounded strange, as if I were a fugitive...Huh?Wait, this is a picture of me? I'm not even sure if there's a person in this picture! I could never look like that!"Brother, is this the picture you used to recognize me?"I was so shocked that I couldn't even look away from the painting. The young mage nodded with a smile. I could hear the sound of my own heart breaking as a youn

After nearly a month of studying magic day and night, I can proudly say that I have made no progress in my journey as a magician!On the one hand, this is because the amount of magic I can use is really limited. The magic contract consumes my output like a bottomless pit, and what little remains can't be mobilized at all.On the other hand, it's Gray! He's a terrible teacher!"You have to turn your magic into cool silk threads, then wrap them around your hands and imagine them turning into birds that fly to the wound, and then you can use the healing spell."What? What does that mean? Can you teach me in a way that humans can understand?"Fireball" is very simple! You need to warm your palms first, then feel the heat flow from the center of your palms, gradually merging into a ball of flames, and then throw it hard."After trying for a long time, my palms did not get warmer, but my forehead did. My mind was racing and I felt like it was about to burst into flames.Gray touched my fore

The next afternoon, after my nap, I was awakened to wash up and change into my dress with Sharon's help.I have to say, Claire's taste is really top notch. This gold dress is so vibrant and light, it seems to make my eyes even brighter.Looking at myself in the mirror, I carefully put on the topaz hairpin.It's a waste not to use it!Claire and Elio were waiting for me outside the door.Ario... He is beyond beautiful. He's so beautiful today, I can't take my eyes off him. His soft, jet-black hair is shiny and well-groomed, his ruby-red eyes are crystal clear, and the black tuxedo he is wearing, decorated with gorgeous silver threads, makes him look like a prince out of a fairy tale.Suddenly I understand why Katrina was fooled by this guy.After a few seconds of being stunned, I came to my senses. Damn, I almost let my mind get confused by beauty again. I quickly turned my eyes to look at Claire, but this side was no place to rest my eyes either.Claire's deep red evening gown matched

Ario placed the elf in the greenhouse. The golden cage blended in with the flowers and became a beautiful sight.According to him, the elf was so weak because it had been kept indoors and could not absorb nutrients."Can't it eat?""Elves cannot absorb the energy in food. Their staple food is magic, and this greenhouse is full of plants, so it can provide it with enough."The kitten curled up defensively in the middle of the cage. After sleeping all night in the greenhouse, it was obviously much more alive and had the energy to hiss at me.I opened the cage door and reached in to grab it, but the wily little black cat immediately hid in the corner of the cage, out of my reach."Be careful, don't get bitten."Ario leaned back in a rocking chair and watched me flail about, almost crawling halfway into the cage himself."But the collar around his neck looks uncomfortable, I want to take it off..."The leather collar had some sharp metal points, and it was clamped tightly around the littl
