I Will Avoid the Male Lead and Make a Harem

Not long after turning off the lights and lying down, Penny suddenly got up in the quiet bedroom and shouted.

“Oh, I’m hungry! Let’s go into the kitchen and eat some delicious corn!”

Penny’s bed was about twenty steps away from mine.

When I was wondering what was wrong with her at night, I noticed the curtains fluttering.

It indicated that Valhail had arrived.

“I believe I’ll eat for an hour or two. Because I, too, need to sleep!”

It was something she said specifically for us to hear.

I was wrapping a blanket around myself and holding my breath.

Thump thump thump!

Bang!

Thump thump thump!

Penny purposefully left the bedroom with a loud noise.

I got out of bed slowly and turned on the light.

It was because I knew he’d just go back if I didn’t tell him to come in like this, despite the fact that I was wearing thin pajamas.

He didn’t want to disturb my sleep.

‘He has really good manners.’

The day we had our first kiss.

I felt it at the time, but Valhail reacted delicately because he was afraid he would hurt my feelings.

Rather than being considerate…… he seemed to be observing my reaction.

“Hello.”

On his broad back, I greeted him.

He always looked out the balcony like this when he came into my bedroom at night.

This, too, was clearly a deliberate attempt to avoid offending me.

“What are you doing there?”

As he slowly returned my gaze, I sensed an unknown tension in his body.

“How come you didn’t come in?”

I said it pitifully, but next time, and the time after that.

I know that he will never step into this bedroom without my permission.

“Your things…… It came.”

“Oh, a box of apples?”

He addressed me as if he had something important to say to me.

“Please keep it well.”

“I get it.”

“You don’t think there’d be any thieves in your house, do you?”

“Is it important?”

“Have you opened it?”

Valhail held his head slightly back, as if it were natural. I’m guessing he didn’t open it because it belongs to me.

“It’s not a very important item, but…… more like something I need?”

Even if I say this much, he will lock down his house.

For a brief moment, a cold wind blew in. I frowned as I stood in front of the balcony.

‘It’s cold! I’m freezing to death.’

He hurriedly let me in after I crouched down and shivered.

“The business is done. Good night, Selina.”

At the push on my back, I looked back at him obliquely over my shoulder.

“Are you sure you’re not going to come in?”

When we made eye contact, Valhail paused, unable to respond immediately, as if in agony.

“Are you just going to leave? Just like that?”

Oh my goodness, that’s unbelievable.

I nodded casually, as if I had no regrets.

“Okay, bye then.”

And as soon as I turned around, he called to me as if he were holding me.

“Selina.”

Despite the fact that we ran into each other almost every day in Count Castle, we couldn’t even talk and had to pass each other by.

This was the only time we could be together without anyone else.

“Can I…… can I go in?”

“Hmmm.”

He held his breath and waited for my permission when I pretended to be in agony.

“Come in.”

Valhail, who was clearly relieved, followed me inside when I winked.

‘Is there another tyrant who listens as well as this one?’

I walked slowly across the bedroom on purpose, smiling inwardly.

The silhouette of my slender limb was revealed whenever my thin pajamas fluttered.

Thud.

I tilted my head up at him as I sat on the bed.

“What are you going to do now with me?”

Valhail’s eyes, which gave off a cool impression, narrowed slightly.

He would make this expression whenever he had an uncontrollable desire.
