Celebrity Lady

Chapter 15

Molga said with bright eyes.

“Sure, of course. Who gave birth to you?”

There were many contractors who signed with low-rank spirits, but she needed a more powerful one.

‘As long as we have the spirit that grants wishes…’

The days of being labeled as the former mistress and being self-conscious in the duchy will be over.

There’s no wish that the spirit won’t grant…

Molga’s children, the Duchy. And even the seat of the emperor.

“Mom believes in my babies.”

“Mm!”

“Mm-hmm!”

The twins responded vigorously, Molga smiled and embraced them.

Her eyes, as always, flashed with disgust.

***

When I opened my eyes, there was a flash of light.

I said to Wishit, who was looking down at me with a worried expression.

“Why did I dream about this?”

“What dream did you have?”

“I had a dream that I was going on an outing on Jeju Island with my dad. I’m on a diet, but I went to a restaurant and ordered a lamb steak course. I even emptied it without leaving any dessert. Not licking the bowl was being tolerant already.”

“That’s a good dream.”

“What did you say? I’m getting goosebumps thinking about the amount I ate. I’m glad it was a dream.”

After having a face-to-face meal with Dad, we went to see flowers and watched a play together.

It seems like he said something, but the dad in my dream had a friendly expression that he would never make in real life, and he smiled the whole time saying he liked anything.

I was flustered, but…

“But it must have been the reality that Rubette wanted. It’s ridiculous, but I do feel so much better right now.”

“That’s a good thing.”

“And I’m sorry.”

As soon as I apologized, Wishit’s eyes widened.

“Why?”

“I told you not to worry, but I showed you my weakness. I didn’t expect it. I didn’t know that even hearing her name would make this body react first.”

“…”

Wishit paused, and with a sigh, placed his hand on top of my head.

“It’s something I expected from the moment you absorbed Rubette’s memories. Take care of your mind. Do not apologize for this.”

“Come to think of it, I’ve made a fool of myself in front of my dad.”

I was in the middle of a small rebellion against my dad, who was indifferent to me.

‘Did I really hang on to him to give me a hug? I’m so embarrassed.’

I’m shaking my head wildly.

Bump—!

“T-That surprises me!”

The door opened without notice and a familiar face appeared.

‘Dad?’

My dad seems to have returned to his childhood…

‘Did he turn back time?’

…Nope.

‘Why is my brother in my room?’

This was the first time I saw the first brother, Viego Diollus, since I opened my eyes as Rubette.

Viego, who looked similar to his father, was breathing heavily with a disheveled look as if he had run in a hurry.

“Brother.”

“…”

Viego, standing still by the door, stared at me, and then.

“You look fine.”

He left that one sentence and slammed the door again.

“No, I…”

My hand, which was hesitating in mid-air to catch him, fell.

“Ugh, that jerk.”

I let out a sigh at the brief meeting that lasted less than 10 seconds.

“The duke came out carrying you, who had fallen, and called the doctor, so it must have been because he was worried.”

“Then what is he doing?”

I lay flat on my back and clicked my tongue.

Viego Diollus.

He was neither good nor bad. I had no memories of being friendly with my eldest brother.

He felt great gratitude to Molga for raising him and his siblings sincerely on behalf of his mother who died when they were still a child. If I were to describe him in one word…

‘He’s an idiot.”

Viego trusted Molga’s gentle face all his life, listened to everything she said and cherished the twins.

Because he thought that the twins, Molga’s own children, grew up sharing her affection because she was taking care of the three siblings.

It was a kind of debt.

‘An idiot with zero wits.’

His priorities were always Ricky and Lillia, not even his own brother, Victor.

‘A stupid friend is sometimes more dangerous than a smart enemy.’

I sighed as I looked at the door Viego had closed.

The ‘stupid friend’ Viego contributed a lot to Rubette’s lifelong suffering from Molga because she couldn’t even tell him the truth of the abuse.

Virgo, who would officially become the head of the house, Duke Diollus IX, three years later…was known as one of the most powerful men during his life, and became a strong shield for Molga.

***

Two days have passed since Molga returned.

I had predicted that she would come to me to look into the situation right away, but so far, there was no news.

‘Careful and quick-witted. A dirty enemy.’

Molga must have noticed that I had changed.

Like a fox, she must be observing the atmosphere of the duke’s residence under the water. The butler, who was her assistant, had been fired, so I guessed she would be focusing on managing her employees right now.

‘This is good for me. Because this body is traumatized, it’s difficult to hold onto my sanity if I run into Molga.’

It’s the night before the storm, but now’s the time to work hard.

If I continued to remain as 15-year-old Rubette, who was young and knew nothing, who had neither a position nor connections, I wouldn’t be able to expose Molga.

Because no one would listen to the foolish princess whose greatest achievement in her life was the ‘daughter of Duke Diollus’.

‘Let’s work. Today, without delay, we start with the model casting.’

I bit half of the apple with determination.

Today, as always, I was having breakfast with my dad. Half the apple was in my dad’s hand.

“Eating an entire apple doesn’t make you gain weight, so I don’t know why you only eat half a day.”

“I want to share it with my dad.”

In addition, it was to block his nagging in advance, because he kept saying that even mice eat more than this.

Soon after, my dad took the apple to his mouth without saying a word and took a bite after me.

‘I appreciate you’re not asking me anything.”

Dad didn’t really ask about what happened yesterday when I had a seizure and lost consciousness due to trauma.

If he asked, I couldn’t help but talk about Molga, and that would definitely put me in trouble.

Right now, everyone in this family was on the sidelines, so I would be at a disadvantage if I hit the good defense in any way.

“Dad, you have to eat lunch alone today.”

“Why?”

“Don’t drink secretly because I’m not here. I’ll ask the kitchen.”

“Then why are you eating separately?”

“I am going to town today. Maybe I’ll have lunch outside.”

“Why are you leaving?”

“I’m going to see a play.”

“What play?”

“…”

I was at a loss for words at the never-ending question.

‘Is he a question mark-killer?’

I didn’t know that the conversation to have lunch separately would be so long because I would be going out.

I thought my dad was too interested, so I quietly avoided his eyes.

“Well…”

Thinking about it, I took the magazine I brought and moved to the seat right next to my dad, and sat down.

“Do you want to take a look at this?”

It was an entertainment magazine published by the capital.

Shrak! When I turned over a few pages and unfolded it, there was a beautiful woman in one place.

“Sarah Hugo is the most popular actress in the capital these days, and I’m a fan of her.”

Currently, the best female celebrity in the capital, Actress Sarah Hugo.

Seeing her beautiful appearance, I licked her lips like a greedy merchant.

Dad, who was looking through the magazines with unimpressed eyes, asked.

“When are you leaving?”

“Now.”

Dad stopped as he looked up at me as I jumped up.

“Don’t skip lunch and make sure to eat it.”

“Wait a minute.”

My dad looked hesitant as he grabbed me when I was about to leave.

“What is it?”

Dad’s eyes were looking out of the dazzling window.

“…”

My dad, who had a snowball fight for a long time like a vampire who was afraid to go out and see the sun, looked at me and said.

“Let’s go out together.”

“Pardon? You’re going outside?”

I was surprised. Wasn’t my dad someone who lived in the room almost like a mole after my mom died?

“Why? You don’t like it?”

“No, it’s not like that…”

Dad, and no one else, decided to go out?

Of course, my dad’s company wouldn’t hurt me either. It’s a good first step for my plan and for me to live a decent life.

I nodded quickly, lest Dad changes his mind.

“Alright!”

“Instead, I’ll choose the lunch menu.”

“I was thinking of going to a salad restaurant on Debian Street. That place looks okay.”

“We can’t eat grass.”

“Umm, I have to lose weight, so other menus…”

Dad, who had been staring at me in trouble, suddenly woke up.

“Ikh!”

I was surprised the next moment. Because my dad suddenly held me up.

“It’s been over a week, why can’t I feel it? You’re not heavy at all, so stop losing weight.”

“I can’t do that!”

“…”

My dad, who had narrowed his eyes as if dissatisfied, took a step back in my uncompromising eyes.

“Then at least don’t eat grass today.”

“Well…”

Well, I’ve endured a harsh diet for a week, so let’s enjoy the cheating day today.

I shrugged and said grudgingly while hugging my dad.

“Alright, then. Please buy me something delicious.”
