Leonard suddenly rubbed his fingers through his ears as if he were bored.

You were brought here as an substitute of Yvonne.I thought youd be good at mimicking.

I prayed with all my heart.

youve made a rumor about crossbow chimpanzee, and youve brought in a slave boy who dont know his origin of, and youve already lost your reputation

It was always the back of prudence and disregard.

I dont know how long youre going to make a chisel in this mansion.

Someones face overlapped with Leonards face, which he scoffed at by twisting the corners of his mouth.

-Why do I have to come all the way here and see the beggar walking around?

An auditory voice rang out in my ears. Ive never said I didnt want to see anything like that. Im afraid Ill be kicked out.

a substitute?

But why did it make me think of what happened earlier that I managed to calm down?

Have you ever treated me as a substitute?

My mouth chattered on its own, as if The Crossbow Shooting Chimpanzee had become my switch. Leonard, who didnt even listen, growled straight at my question.

Then you dont even know the root of it. I picked you up and made you a princess. How much better do I have to treat you? Or should I treat you like a queen?

Yes. Be nice to me at least once.

what?

You know what? If I feel good, Ill give you a copy of your missing sister.

I clenched my teeth, sarcastic, and laughed with a messy face. On the other hand, the sarcastic corners of Leonards mouth slowly went down.

I felt the temperature in the room getting colder every minute. If it was just such a quarrel a little while ago, the present-day Leonard was ferocious enough to tear me apart and kill me right away.

Hey

He called me in a subdued voice. And

Favorability -2%

Something that I was worried about happened.

Be careful of what you say, dont be so rude. How dare you.

Why? Because were on this on topic, just better to speak up.

You.

You think youre the only one who hates me, right?

Twelve-year-old Penelope was pictured in front of my eyes. I knew I couldnt do this anymore, but I couldnt stop myself.

So am I. If I had known Id starve with a great Duke, I should never have come no matter how much you asked me to come with you.

Penelope Eckart,

How did I seduce him? Its nothing, just like you said to me, its just a bunch of crap.

Stop right there

Leonard warned grimly.

Favorability-1%

The favorability has fallen again.

He looked angry but inwardly embarrassed. Its always been their privilege to look scornfully at and sarcasm.

Penelope would be surprised to see him like this, because when he got angry, he rushed in with a groan. Perhaps I was surprised by the sudden change in my apology for not going against my feelings as much as I could.

Either way, I felt sick and tired of it.

Ive been starving for days and days without my mothers funeral because I dont have any money, and one day your father called me a daughter and said to go with him.

Have you ever tried the rainwater falling next to a decaying corpse?

The 12-year-old Penelope, painted before my eyes, gradually turned into a 14-year-old myself.

What about the leftovers of someones? Have you ever mixed up what you put together to buy food that tastes like trash? Youve never had one, have you?

you

Why did I wish your sister would never come back?

Favorability-1%

[Favorite 4%]

Leonards favorability dropped in an instantaneously. If I didnt want to die, I had to shut up immediately and at least boil his knees.

Im afraid Ill go back to that time.

But instead of praying that I was wrong, I chose to reveal the fear and desperation that I hid desperately.

Because Penelope would have done that at that time, and I would have prayed to God that the real princess wouldnt come back.

Im afraid Im going to go back to my life, looking on the streets all day, begging someone to drop some food.

Penelope.

Say it, Im listening.

Leonard called me in a stifling voice. My still cry is over. I faced him, breathing heavily.

The fear that favorability would fall and die has disappeared.

Even if I die right away, I wont regret it. For Penelope, who grew up in lost anger and disgust. And

Im..

It was just a moment of silence and quietly waiting for the end to come. His head flashed like a flash.

[7% likability]

I, uh, thought you were

Leonard was speechless with a stiff, frozen face. He deserved it. Its a story of those low-down lives that hes never heard of before.

After a long pause, he managed to broach a word.

I didnt know you had such a hard time.

In an instant, things turned around. I felt indescribable when I saw Leonard puzzled, who had no idea what to do, just like me who was sweating and choosing what to say.

You must havent know

Penelope.

You think that I, youve always thought I was, in fact, so clever that I twisted the Duke of Eckart and took your sisters place.

Thats

If so, I hope you know now.

I stared at him with cold eyes and I felt a prick of my brain

When you accused me of being a necklace thief, I was a 12-year-old commoner who couldnt even write properly.

Leonards mouth, which was opened to answer something, was as sweet as a lie. I could see the blue pupil slowly being colored by shock, but none of it was refreshing.

It was then.

Piyu Woo Yong-Pyong!

Beyond Leonards back, a loud roar rang through the sky out of the open window. During the meaningless war of attrition with him, dark darkness lay outside, even with the sunset.

Piyu Wu, Phuong-Pyong!

Fireworks have begun. Leaving behind the beautiful sight of colorful fireworks embroidered in the black sky, we both looked at each other silently.

Every time the firecracker exploded, the colorful shadow of light shone on Leonards face and repeated that it would disappear.

Maybe thats why. His expression staring at me, I thought, seemed a little bit nervous. At that moment, the top of the pink hair glistened once again.

[14% likability]

The favorability has risen sharply. It was almost at the same time that a white window appeared before my eyes.

[Festival View] Quest success with [Leonard]!

Would you like to receive a reward for quest?

[Yes. / No.]

ha.

I smiled disheartened at the quest window, which suddenly appeared in a situation that should not have appeared.

Whether or not the favorability is broken, will you succeed if you meet the requirements of the quest?

But in the end, [Yes] .This situation, which had to press Yes , made me shudder.

reward [Favorite +3%] and [Crosboww] of [Leonard] for has received

Looking at the sensitivity of rising straight away, I felt the steam ahead just subsided like a dying embers.

Poof! Piyu, Phuong-!

Unlike me, a brilliant fireworks display was still in full swing outside the window.

Even if I get kicked out of this house, Im just going back to being a poor commoner. Its weird.

I muttered to myself through the loud firecrackers.

You always make me miserable, like a beggar worse than a slave.

Leonards wobbly face was completely distorted by my voice. Perhaps, it was from this point on. What I began to imagine after I left the Dukedom.

I looked at him for a moment with my burning eyes like ashes and turned around.

Penelope!

Leonard called me and tried to catch me with an urgent gesture. But I left the attic without even pretending to look back.

Coming down the dark stone steps alone, I alternated with Leonards likes and impulsively non-talking conversation.

[Favorite 17%]

It was a really generous result for a person determined to die. Of course, the past of Penelope I poured out was all a great lie.

I dont know her past that didnt even come out of the game.

He said he ate rainwater next to the dead body, and that he ate leftovers and leftovers. All those nasty, nasty stories, He must have been like this. Its just an assumption I want to make.

not my story.

******

Other rewards earned by completing the Leonard and the Festival quest were paid shortly after that.
