THE HERO PROPOSED TO ME

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

“I didn’t expect Clara to have that talent. That’s amazing.”

“Thank you, Mother.”

Only two months after we changed the garden, our new garden was transformed into a stunningly beautiful one.

After the garden incident, Clara became interested in herbology by looking after the seedlings. She was, in fact, well versed in plants.

It is the typical professional male lead who supports the female lead in the future when she walks the path towards a pharmaceutical company.

“My sister is really amazing. The last time Louis had an upset stomach, Clara found him a good herb, so he got better in no time.”

“Did that happen?”

“Yes, Mom. Sister is really great!”

I climbed on my mother’s lap and rested my head on her before turning to my sister and continued to praise her.

Meanwhile, my lovely mother, Duchess Valentine, was still young and beautiful despite having four children.

The description in the novel said that jewels seemed to fall from my eye every time I blinked my lashes with such alluring beauty was true.

Well maybe that’s because I inherited it from my mother too.

My mother smiled happily, stroking my head on her lap. “That’s why my princess was in a good mood.”

In the original book, the wife was shocked to see her beloved daughter’s execution and lost her sight.

I felt sorry for my mom who was disappointed because I always followed my sister. So today I was willing to be in my mother’s arms and act like a typical lovable child.

“My mom smells good. You should come and take a whiff of her too!” I invited Clara but she was hesitant.

“But I…..”

“Come here.” The Duchess told Clara with a smile.

Clara was relatively unenthusiastic, the Duke and his wife are by no means bad parents.

The Duchess calls Clara, her foster daughter, and Clara finally sits next to mother, who gave her a tight yet affectionate hug.

“If there’s anything you want to do, feel free to tell me. Clara, you’re my daughter.”

“Mother.”

Looking at Clara who was blushing shyly, I felt somewhat proud.

You must be upset seeing me loved for nothing.

Clara didn’t express that kind of thing, but matched the rhythm. “I love my mom and my sister too.”

Sitting on my mother’s lap, I slipped into her arms.

Even if we have no blood ties whatsoever, we’re a family. Mom smiled at me and Clara sitting side by side.

“Come to think of it, it’s already time for the season to come. Clara, you have to prepare for your social debut now, so you need to get measurements for your new dress.”

“Me?”

“Yes, Fourteen is old enough.”

What?

Something is weird. At the age of 14, Clara made her social debut. There was no such thing in the original.

Unbelievable. I made her realize her talent too early, and the original started to twist rapidly.

* * *

Oh, our mother, the Duchess of Valentine, is the most beautiful woman in the Empire.

I don’t know if you’re too good looking to be around, or if you’re too much of a nobleman in the society.

It’s a pretty good way to get into trouble with other nobles in the social world.

God was fair though. In addition to her appearance, her objective ability itself was rather ordinary, and mother was always tired of excessive duchess work.

It was Mrs. Lisbon who helped such a mother and played one of the pillars of the Valentine’s family.

Although it’s despicable, excessive loyalty is a problem, though it’s not bad.

The problem is that Clara’s quality of life changes completely depending on how Mrs. Lisbon plays tricks in the middle.

‘My head hurts.’ I laid in bed early, but I couldn’t fall asleep.

According to the original story, after the birthday party in question, Clara quickly becomes a householder and it is forgotten for a while.

Even she couldn’t prevent Siel’s corruption, so she has forgotten about her existence, and didn’t even let alone go to the the social world.

Clara made her social debut at the age of sixteen, four years later. In other words, the beginning of the novel was when Clara realized her talent by growing herbs in an abandoned garden.

Realizing her talent, Clara will sell herbs to become independent from the Duke of Valentine, and the villains who seek it will present Clara with a political marriage.

Despite Siel’s opposition, the Duke and Duchess of Valentine rush to debut in society.

It was Alex, who met Clara at Siel’s eighth birthday party a few years ago, saved her just before she was sold into the hands of the bad guys.

Maybe it was because I broke a flag in the middle that what had to happen later happened sooner than I thought. Does it mean that if I move, the future will change? And I don’t know what the changed future is like.

Then what should we do from now on?

I couldn’t sleep, so I got out of bed and turned on the magic lamp. When I woke up, rubbing my sleepy eyes, I wrote down the original story in my notebook as I remember it so that I wouldn’t forget it.

For now, it is certain that the event that will take place in the original work has been advanced. While decorating the flower bed, Clara has a natural talent for dealing with herbs.

The problem is that what I meant by herbs, herbs that also includes hallucinogenic drugs.

Villains will try to kidnap Clara and urge her to grow drugs that are tricky to raise. Alex, who was investigating the drug problem, finds out about the villain’s plot and saves Clara in style.

Of course, I’m not sure when that will happen or whether it will happen. Still, since the two of them have opened up their acquaintances, we need to think about how to make a good relationship between them.

My head hurts. God, why are you giving me this ordeal? After staying up all night like that, I didn’t fall asleep until dawn. What brings me to oversleep and as soon as I woke up, I briefed on Mrs Lisbon’s condition.

“How’s your preparation going?”

“Of course, miss,” I nodded at Mrs Lisbon’s polite attitude. According to the original, the Duchess naturally reduces the opportunity to meet Clara after Clara and Siel’s relationship has deteriorated.

Lady Lisbon, who takes care of the children instead of the Duchess, avoids the Duchess’ eyes and torments Clara. If it’s something that can really change the future, let’s start with a minor change.

I’ll survive if I save the main character.

“I’ll go to the glass garden.”

The Duke of Valentine praised his daughters’ new hobbies and built a huge glass greenhouse in the newly overturned garden.

Since then, abandoned gardens have been called glass greenhouse gardens.

“What are you doing there?”

Just in time, I ran into Theo while taking a walk in the garden. I’ve changed my mind a little since my last birthday. In the meantime, I’ll play with big brother.

Batters are addicted to the fun, but after destroying all the death flags in the future, the only person who can guarantee my position is the next runner, not anyone else.

(T/N : She’s referring to baseball.)

To do that, you have to open a common front with Theo. I approached Brother Theo and said hello.

“Theo. What are you doing here?”

“I need to see you for a minute.”

What’s your business? I guess you were looking for Clara. Even if you don’t show it on your face, you can see the heart of the coy Theo.

“Don’t run around for no reason. If you get hurt, everyone will be worried.”

It’s hateful to say the same thing, but I just wasn’t honest, so I pretended not to know anything and asked Theo.

“Oh, brother, I have a question. If Clara makes her debut in society, who will escort her?”

If the original version goes on, the Duke of Valentine, who went to another area to do business on the day Clara debuted, will be stranded in heavy rain.

So, of course, Theo’s the escort.

But the villainess strikes again, Siel fails to see that Theo wants to escort Clara and forces her eldest brother to choose.

“It’s me, that adoptee!”

Under pressure from the family, Theo escorts Siel instead and Clara is forced to go to the ball without a proper escort.

And just then, the male lead appears splendidly and escorts Clara.

“If there is anything with my father, it’s up to me, the eldest son.”

Yep, here’s again the original twist: In the original, Siel was a wicked woman who was overcome with jealousy, harassed her sister Clara.

It is said that debuting in society is a precious memory only once in a lifetime. In fact, during Siel’s debut party the following year, she had the appearance of a queen with her father and brothers in both hands.

Those were the things that made Clara sad. No matter how active the male lead is, he cannot fulfill her family’s affection. What if I give Clara a good memory here?

My death or another flag will disappear.

Clara will be happy to have happy memories, and I am happy to have a life. I like my sister, I like my brother, I like my dog, I eat ping, I eat eggs. In that sense, I mobilized my brothers to propose a surprise for Clara.

“It will be the best if it’s father, but you don’t know if something bad happens. If that does truly happen, I want Theo brother to escort sister.”

“Me?”

“Yeah. Brother Theo himself! It’s better if brother Isaac is also there. That way, sister’s position will be stronger.”

I was surprised out of the blue, but Theo, who was quick-witted, seemed to have roughly noticed why I was saying that.

“Siel, did you happen to know?”

“Know what?”

“Clara’s not our real sibling.”

The fact that Clara was an adopted child was an open secret to the Duke of Valentine. Especially for Siel.

The Duke and Duchess of Valentine were not discriminating against their children just because they were adoptees. Compared to other sons except me, I took care of her more, not less.

In addition, loyal employees secretly ignored the precious princess, me, who was only born in the first 100 years of the Duchal bloodline, but never made it clear in front of them.

But Theo seemed very curious about how I found out. I was willing to tell the truth without much trouble.

“Brother Louis said sister Clara said is an adoptee, are you talking about that?”

I told him as if he was tactless, and Theo frowned. I knew it, sooner or later Louis will be called in by Theo and scolded.

Then he’ll come to his senses. In fact, Theo became a firm side of Clara from the moment he first saw her suddenly getting adopted as a sister until the last moment of his unconfessable love.

Theo is the only complete ally of Clara. I’ve decided to tackle that point.

“My brother. I do know that I hate my sister being ignored by other people.”

“That’s of course.” Theo nodded. I deliberately held my brother’s hand tightly and emphasized it once more.

“So, whether she’s adopted or whatever, I’m never going to let anyone bully her.” My thoughts now remain the same as when I first opened my eyes here or now.

And to be honest, I didn’t quite understand why the original Siel is so mean. In fact, even if there were no blood ties, there were many siblings who were worse than others.

By comparison, my house is simply peaceful. When I readily said this, Theo, who had originally been Clara’s side, nodded with a seemingly delighted face.

It seems like I succeeded
