As Rihana sat up and opened her mouth, the girl shouted, "Daddy!"Immediately, a young man entered the room.Looking into his eyes, Rihana knew.This wasn't a long-term human trafficking organization or a den of thieves.There was one reason for her conviction.'That man's face... I've seen it in another webtoon!''He's the "father" of a popular childcare webtoon's protagonist!'Rihana's eyes shifted towards the girl.She had curly orange hair tied up on both sides of her head and sparkling eyes, like the cross-section of a juicy orange.The protagonist, who defied the family's tradition that only men could inherit the title and eventually became the feudal lord, smiled brightly at her.In response, Rihana also smiled sweetly.Internally, however, she screamed.'Is this also a story setting?'Just when she had barely managed to escape, it happened again.'This is crazy!'Before she could calm her confusion, a second astonishing realization struck her mind.She remembered a highlight scene from the webtoon.["You are a criminal who made yourself a feudal lord through lies and witchcraft. Let's see if you can lie even with your severed neck."]Following the male lead's line, there was a rolling head scene.Short hair like ordinary men and a pale face without makeup.It was the last appearance of the villainess, who disguised herself as a man to infiltrate the feudal lord's residence.After reminiscing, Rihana saw her reflection in the large, orange-colored pupils.Her hair was still covered by a hat.A guilty look on her face.Men's clothing.It seemed like she was set to be a flag.'Am I an antagonist even here?'Before she could realize it, tears burst forth.Rihana wiped away her tears and threw off the tight hat, allowing her wavy pink hair to cascade over her shoulders.Forced to smile, Rihana waved her hand toward the bewildered protagonist."Hello? I'm a girl, clearly a girl."In the introduction, she added information beyond her name.That was more important than her name.Then, she turned to the father and mustered all her strength to give a polite bow."Hello! Thank you for helping me, who is undeniably a girl!"It would be troublesome if she were mistaken for a prepubescent boy.Fortunately, the protagonist of the childcare webtoon quickly dispelled the misunderstanding.Her shaky eyes were the evidence."Sorry... I didn't know..."As the child trembled and started to shiver, her father stepped in.He put his arm around his daughter's shoulders and gently said, "Rihana.""For now, take a rest. Let's go, Cecilia."The two left the room. Finally alone, Rihana abruptly got up from her seat.'Now's the time. Let's run away!'She had no intention of staying any longer in this unfortunate place.But before that, she had something to find.Rihana looked around, pressing her hat down.'Where's my bag?'She was certain she had been holding it close until just before she passed out.Then she heard a rustling sound from somewhere.At first, she thought it was the wind coming through the open window, but upon listening carefully, it wasn't.Crunch, Crunch.Rihana knew this sound very well.It was the sound of someone chewing on the sugar-coated surface of a heart-shaped pie.'My food!'Rihana dashed toward the source of the noise.Opening the closet, Rihana discovered someone unexpected.Staring back at her was a boy as small and petite as her.His legs were as thin as Rihana's forearms, and his long black hair seemed to pierce into her gaze.Creak.Rihana closed the closet door."Eat a lot."Her body trembled as she mumbled through the crack in the door.'Sure. He's the male lead.'The duke's illegitimate child, the very person driven out of the family and raised as a servant in the feudal lord's residence!He looked like someone who would become the strongest man in the world and seize the duke's title in the future.One of his great accomplishments was...["Let's see if you can lie even with your severed neck."]She was an antagonist destined to be executed.Thinking that next time, it might not be the sound of chewing on a heart-shaped pie but the sound of her own neck being offered, a chill ran down her spine.She had to pull out the villainess flag.'For real, let's definitely run away.'Feeling impatient, Rihana looked around.Looking out the window, she saw it was the first floor.Lucky for her.She gave up any attachment to her bag and simply jumped out the window, crossing the window frame.Because of her beggar-like appearance, it was only a matter of time before she was discovered and chased away by the guards."Get lost, you beggar! How dare you come here...."The guard grabbed her shoulder and escorted her outside the gate.'A kind person.'Thanks to him, Rihana managed to escape unharmed.Back at the market, Rihana grabbed a passerby and asked for directions to the neighboring village."Even the closest route would take around two hours by carriage. Ah, there's a shortcut. If you walk through that forest for 30 minutes, you'll reach the neighboring village.""Thank you!"She had planned to find a suitable church for help and to connect with the orphanage.There might be a church here as well, but she didn't want to get involved with childcare stories unnecessarily.After a few hours, the sound of a distressed young girl's crying echoed through the forest."He said it was only a 30-minute walk!"She had been walking for two hours, and all she saw was a dense forest.Maybe it would have been manageable if she hadn't been a tired and hungry 10-year-old, but at this point, she couldn't go on any longer."Even if that jerk hadn't taken away my food, I could have managed!"Rihana used the last of her strength to direct her anger toward the male lead.She had struggled so hard to break free from the villainess' role, but in the end, she was going to die because of the male lead!In the midst of grinding her teeth, something sparkled.A glimmer of light entered her vision.Rihana noticed there was an open space not far away.No, upon closer inspection, it wasn't an empty space.'There's a hut.'With half-hearted suspicion, Rihana headed toward it.She couldn't guarantee her safety, but she had no other choice.The thick raindrops falling made the walls and roof of the hut seem quite appealing.Knock, knock.Nervously knocking on the door, she soon heard footsteps from inside.Then, as the door cracked open, warm light and a savory smell poured out.A man appeared from within."Rosanac? Are you Rosanac?" he hesitated and asked.Rihana looked at the man.Red hair, gold-rimmed glasses, pupils torn like a beast's...That was the face of the male lead in a popular webtoon about an immortal protagonist.She could recall the scene vividly.The male lead tore apart the person who falsely claimed to be the reincarnation of his past lover until their very soul was in tatters.It brought tears to her eyes.'Why does the male lead always appear wherever I go?'They weren't living in a Disney Princess world! Was there nowhere in this world that wasn't part of a story setting?Despairing, Rihana buried her face in her hands and sobbed loudly.But then, feeling the need to survive, she burst out."I'm Rihana! I'm definitely not Rosanac! Absolutely not!""But only Rosanac would know this place.""It's a coincidence!""Really?"Fortunately, the man seemed to have no intention of tearing Rihana apart.He willingly let her into the hut, provided a fireplace and blankets to dry her wet clothes, and served her potato soup.The potato soup was surprisingly delicious, perfectly catering to Rihana's taste buds.'How can it be this delicious?'Rihana quickly emptied her bowl. As she had a few more bowls, the man kept talking."The Yevnock Waterfall on the Crescent Peninsula 200 years ago... does it ring a bell?""I don't know about that.""It was where Rosanac first whispered love to me."He kept looking at Rihana with a look of hopelessness."Ten months later, a child was born.""Inappropriate topic. I'm only 10 years old!""Ah, I see."Not finding anything else to say, the man shrugged, seemingly disappointed.Yet, the subtle interrogation continued.Rihana lay on the bed while the man lay on the floor, still talking even after he blew out the candle."Rosanac used to be quite sensitive to the cold. Even in the summer, she would shiver as soon as the sun set.""Excuse me. Can I get some sleep?""Sure.""Rosanac used to sleep a lot too."After flipping the blanket over her head, Rihana was finally able to fall asleep.
