Fostering the Male Lead

“Yes My Lady, just trust me.”

After bidding farewell to Marina, who quickly regained her strength, I climbed into the carriage with Leonard.

Rumble, rumble.

As I watched the mansion slowly moving away, I felt strangely uneasy.

‘I think Lumiyan is going to get in an accident.’

These ominous forebodings usually came true most of the time.
I tried to get rid of my anxiety, but the uneasy feeling didn’t go away even when I arrived at the villa.

“What’s wrong?”

“There’s something that bothers me.”

As I was frowning from the beginning until now, Leonard misunderstood my apprehension and gently stroked my hair.

“Relax.
The Eempress doesn’t know you are here.”

No, that’s not what I’m worried about.
 It’s Lumiyan that’s bothering me.

“Let’s go.”

“Oh, yes.”

I followed Leonard, who led the way with my luggage.
As soon as I opened the ugly door and entered, a neat interior unfolded before my eyes.

It could be seen how old the villa was, but thanks to the well-maintained space, it did not give the impression of being worn down at all.
The odd thing was that it was too quiet.

There must have been one or two people waiting on Sihael, but I couldn’t see a single mouse, let alone a person.

“It’s like a haunted cabin, right?”

“It’s very quiet here.”

“My Lady, to be honest, I was surprised when you said you were coming here.
There’s really nothing here.”

Nanabi was right.
There really wasn’t anything here.
There were no furnishings, just a few things and furniture.

Also there were no people.

The only people staying in the villa were me, Leonard, Nanabi, the villa manager and chef.

“May I help you?”

“It’s all right.”

So here, I had to take care of everything on my own except for meals.
Of course, I had to unpack my luggage by myself as I came in with only a small amount of luggage.

‘I’ve lived a very comfortable life so far.’

It was awkward to unpack by myself as I had gotten used to people doing things for me since these two months.
But only my mind found it awkward as my body naturally unpacked the things.
After sorting out my clothes, I reached for the last bag and frowned when I found something strange.

‘Why is it open?’

With Marina’s meticulous personality, there was no way she would have put it like this on the carriage.
Did it get open in the carriage?

When I looked inside the bag, something wriggled.
Startled, I picked up the bag and quickly threw it against the wall.

Bang.

The bag hit the wall and fell to the floor, spilling its contents.

“What the hell… ?”

A doll wriggled out of the bag.

In an instant, I got goosebumps all over my body and Nanabi’s words about this place seeming like a haunted lodge flashed into my mind.

‘People say that ghosts appear here.’

Wasn’t that a joke?! I jumped onto the bed and gripped the pillow tightly.

‘Since it’s a doll, I should be able to kill it easily.’
