Chereads / The Imperfect Second Male Lead (English) / Chapter 23 - 23. The Charm of the Male Lead

Chapter 23 - 23. The Charm of the Male Lead

Oliver is actually surprised to hear that his destination is Ghost town. Why would an immodest young Grand Duke like Morgan send a letter to the address of Ghost town? What was the content of the letter that had to be sent in secret in an unexpected place?!

Even though there were many questions in his mind, Oliver kept a smiling face as if he was not curious about the letter. "I will send a letter to the address requested. Then, the letter will arrive in 3 days. Next, you know what to do, right?"

Morgan snorted at Oliver's widening smile. Morgan's hand took a small pouch containing gold coins to pay the price for the services he needed. "Just one letter, why are you so calculating?"

Oliver burst out laughing as he covered part of his face with the fan. "I'm so sorry, sir, but our place doesn't provide free services. After all, we deliver your letter at the risk of our lives. Who knows if something happens on the way to your destination? It's a very risky job."

Oliver was about to reach for the letter lying on the table, but Morgan's hand grabbed it. Morgan's eyes narrowed sharply, he hissed menacingly. "Hey, what are you going to do with my letter?"

Oliver found it amusing with the young Grand Duke in front of him. The beautiful man lowered the fan that partially covered his face. A smirk was painted on his face which added to the impression of an evil, beautiful man. "Of course, I'll read it first."

"You... want to read it?" Morgan asked hesitantly, which made Oliver raise an eyebrow.

"Yes, why not? Is this letter really not allowed to be read by anyone besides the recipient?"

Morgan was silent for a moment, then he withdrew his hand to let Oliver take his letter. "Well, just read it. Besides, you won't understand the meaning of what is written in the letter."

Seeing Morgan so confident, Oliver became even more curious to read the contents of the letter. The man decided to read the letter, but nothing seemed suspicious.

"Okay. Requests will be processed after payment." Oliver put Morgan's letter in a brown box with the same thing inside. They seemed to be letters from other customers with the same purpose as Morgan, which was to send letters in secret.

Morgan turned and walked away towards the door where he had entered earlier. "Then I'll go. I'll come when there's a reply."

Oliver smiled kindly. "Goodbye, sir."

After Morgan was out of sight, Oliver's smile faded. The face that previously looked friendly and friendly, now turned cold with a stiff expression. Oliver turned to the table at the brown box with the letters in it. Oliver's brows knit together tightly. "Should I report this to him?"

Ursilla moaned as her eyelids slowly opened. It was so hard just to open my eyes. Maybe this was the effect of Ursilla sleeping after crying. It seemed like Ursilla's eyes were swollen, somehow she looked now.

"Am I in... a room?" Ursilla surveyed the interior of the room and realized that she was in her room. It seemed that Windy had brought Ursilla to the room obediently following Victor's orders.

Speaking of Victor, Ursilla couldn't help but smile wryly. She was forced to use a Deceptive Cry so that Victor's chances of agreeing to her wish were greater.

"Well, for that, my conscience must be sacrificed." Ursilla had to pretend she was unaware that the way she was doing it was wrong by playing with a father's affection. What else can we do? Her life was worth more now, even if Ursilla wanted to change the storyline.

Ursilla will complete the novel Love to Ursilla by reducing the death rate. Then, if she could, Ursilla would change the story, and she could return to her world. Staying alive is the most important thing if you want to return to the real world.

Oh, she didn't know. Now it felt like Ursilla couldn't even tell the difference between the real world and the fantasy world.

Ursilla blinked when she realized that her side felt heavy, as if someone was lying down with her. Ursilla's hot pink eyes rolled to the side. Ursilla's eyeballs almost popped out when she realized the presence of someone, who turned out to be Victor!

"Father? Why are you here?" Ursilla immediately shifted away from Victor who was still asleep. The man's eye bags had slightly reduced, making Ursilla heave a sigh of relief.

Looks like Victor won't wake up for now. Ursilla noticed that it was already dark, the hallway outside her room was also quiet. It seemed that Ursilla had slept for quite a while and woke up in the middle of the night when the sky was pitch black.

Ursilla bit her lower lip. "How is it? I actually want to meet Antares."

Seeing Victor sleeping right beside her, Ursilla felt even more guilty. But, for now, Ursilla already has its schedule. She would meet Antares every night at least once every two days so that the merman would not be lonely.

Ursilla also wants to show you a trick that Antares doesn't know. Making Antares turn into a human, Ursilla wanted to see that transformation. Antares probably didn't realize that he could easily swap his tail into legs without having to meet a magician like the other merman and mermaids.

"It's a mess. Should I put my plans back?" Ursilla massaged her temples, feeling indecisive. Now her only choices were that she continue sleeping beside Victor or meet Antares when Victor was in her room and could wake up and realize that Ursilla had disappeared from the room.

[ Warning! ]

[ Be careful! There is someone watching from behind the bedroom window! ]

[ There is no killing intent or threat to players, but players still have to be careful. You are being watched! ]

Hearing the warning from the system, Ursilla's body momentarily stiffened. Then, she took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "Relax. I'm just being watched and have no killing intent. My life is safe for now."

"System, who's watching over me?" Ursilla asked the system through her mind.

[ Morgan Winter Knight. ]

Gone was the calm that Ursilla had been trying to maintain. The terror that came just by mentioning Morgan's name made Ursilla's heart feel like it was being squeezed hard.

Ursilla held her left chest which didn't hurt. However, the pain stems from her fear of Morgan.

A wry smile appeared on Ursilla's face. "Why is that bastard here?!"

Ursilla couldn't help but turn her head towards the bedroom window. Ursilla's hot pink eyes met with a pair of red eyes that glowed under the moonlight. Jet black hair blown by the night breeze combined with bright red beaded eyes thrilled Ursilla's heart.

Now, Ursilla knows the reason Ursilla in the novel Love to Ursilla fell in love with Morgan. The charm of the male lead can't be ignored. Look, how amazing is Morgan's handsome face accompanied by a crooked smile, giving the impression of being naughty and not easy to control.

Ursilla covered her face with her palms. Her eyes widened, and she couldn't keep from staring at the beauty that was exposed in front of her. "Crazy! I can't ignore his charm!"
