The Male Lead Knelt Before Me - Chapter 0

Prologue

I looked at the man sitting in front of me.

“So you said you want to talk to me about something?”

“Yeah.”

“And what is it about………..”

“I think it would be better if I identify myself before talking about the topic. Enosh Le Elphida. That’s my name. And I’m ……..”

The man opened the collar of his shirt and pulled out the necklace that he was hiding under the robe.

“The Crown Prince of this Empire.”

A necklace shaped of a combination of two stars and the moon hung in the air.

It is the crest representing the Empire Family at the empire I’m living at.

‘Why did the Crown Prince come to me?’

There was nothing in my surroundings and my status to be entangled with the Crown Prince. But that idea didn’t last long.

“Lena Oreu.”

Because I’m so distracted by the man’s voice that penetrated my ears.

“How did you know…..….”

“I already told you who I am. So it’s easy for me, the Crown Prince, to identify your real name.”

The Crown Prince laughed, as he arrogantly called my name.

“I’d like to offer a proposition to you.”

“A proposition?”

“That’s right.”

The Crown Prince nodded, took a rolled paper out of his arms and put it on the table.

“Open it.”

I opened the rolled paper carefully. Soon, a portrait of a man came into my sight.

“Well, who is this guy?”

“Caleb Egon.”

My body trembled at the overly familiar name.

“All Imperial citizens would know about him.”

The Crown Prince added. As if there’s a way I couldn’t have known about him.

Just like when he confidently said he knew my name.

Caleb Egon was the male protagonist of the novel, <The Flower of Elphida>, which I had possessed.

I took my eyes off the portrait and asked.

“Why are you showing me his portrait?”

“I already told you.”

The Crown Prince glanced at the portrait I was holding and added.

“I’d like to offer you a proposal.”

Don’t tell me the offer is……….

He’s not asking me to seduce the male lead, right?

It’s not possible at all.

“Seduce the Duke.”

“What do you mean……”

“I’ve heard rumours that you’re a great femme fatale.”

There was an awkward smile shaping around my lips.

I was wondering why the Crown prince came to find me, so was it because of that rumour?

I tried to say it was a false rumour, but the Crown Prince didn’t even give me time to protest.

“You’ve made a lot of men kneel under your feet with that body of yours, right?”

Well, it’s true that I usually make men kneel under my feet……. although by force, it’s true anyway.

“I heard even from a single hand gesture, there’s no man who wouldn’t fall for you.”

That’s right, but the actual hand gesture and rumour’s hand gesture have different meanings……….

“And when you smile, no one could even make eye contact with you.”

It’s because they are scared of me……..

“You don’t have to use any special means and methods. Just make the Duke fall for you.”

Ummm, excuse me, Your Highness.

I think you came to the wrong person for this proposal.
