She thought she should repay them for giving her free food and a place to sleep.

She told the second male lead about this and that. All so that he could win the heart of the female lead later.

“And most importantly.”

Rieta looked around and whispered in Noel’s ear.

“Only be polite and friendly to your most special person.”

But now, Noel wouldn’t be called the unlucky second lead anymore. Maybe he would really push the male lead away and take the female lead to his side.

Rieta grinned as she thought of a different future from the original.

Then Noel swept up her hair down and said,

“You’re pretty, Rieta Liz.”

“?”

“…You asked me to say you were pretty right?”

My wicked mother brought a girl one day.... more>>

She was the Duke’s hidden daughter, Loretta, the heroine of [Duke’s Four Children].

I am Melody, the villainess who was punished with my mother for harassing her.

I don’t want to die like that, so I have to treat her well now.

I fed Loretta, put her to sleep, and played with her.
