The Male Leads Were Stolen by the Extra

Sellonia was startled and grabbed Tan’s arm without realizing it.

 

Goosebumps appeared on her arm. If she had been alone, she would have fainted.

 

Inside the store with the lights off. In the pitch-black darkness where she couldn’t see anything, the locked doorknob suddenly rattled.

 

How reassuring it was to have Tan by her side at a time like this.

 

Just a few months ago, they had been trying to kill each other, so it was really funny.

 

“…”

 

Tan couldn’t see well because it was dark, yet he could picture Sellonia holding onto his arm tightly like a scared squirrel, and he chuckled.

 

It seemed like she had forgotten that she had told him not to grab her.

 

Of course, it was fine.

 

For Tan, it was just a good feeling when she moved first and reached out to him, no matter what.

 

Rattle, rattle, rattle.

 

Click.

 

The doorknob rattled a few more times and the lock came loose with a light sound.

 

Creak.

 

Soon, the sound of the store door opening very carefully was heard.

 

A black silhouette of a person entered the store, turning its head everywhere as if looking around.

 

“Damn…”

 

A low curse flowed out from the silhouette, as if it was really annoyed by this situation.

 

Sellonia’s lips lifted when she heard that voice. The familiar voice was, as expected, Gillian’s.

 

So you rummaged through.

 

“Whew…”

 

Gillian sighed and searched around in the darkness.

 

His hands, clanking and looking here and there, looked very urgent.

 

It was certain. He was looking for the book.

 

Although she had expected everything, when she saw with her own eyes that it was Gillian, her blood rushed to her head.

 

She gave up, thinking that the male leads’ hearts had changed, believing only the information about Grace that guy had given her.

 

It’s because she didn’t show it, but it took quite some time for her to give up and heal her hurt feelings.

 

The male leads were not just characters from the original story, but friends, with whom she had been together for half a year.

 

The shock of losing all of those friends in an instant was indescribable.

 

Yet it was all a lie. It was all fabricated.

 

Even if her feelings for the male leads had cooled down now, it was natural to be angry now that she knew the truth.

 

He made a fool of a person, then covered his eyes, pretending not to know.

 

She was shaking with anger boiling over by herself when Tan, who was next to her, tapped her arm as if to bring her back to her senses.

 

“Ha, where the hell is it?”

 

Gillian, who couldn’t find the book, made an anxious voice.

 

Look for it for a hundred days. There’s no way you’ll find it.

 

Sellonia gritted her teeth, nodded to Tan, and got up from her seat.

 

At the same time, Tan turned on the magic light switch on the warehouse wall.

 

Clack.

In an instant, the store, which had been dark everywhere, brightened up.

 

“W-What is it!”

 

“Gillian, it seems that you’re looking for a book.”

 

Gillian’s body froze at the low, creepy voice.

 

He forced his head, which was frozen stiffly and wouldn’t turn, to look straight ahead.

 

“P-Princess…”

 

Then he saw Sellonia coming out of the warehouse with a cold, almost chilling expression.

 

“H-How did you…”

 

Gillian’s complexion instantly turned ashen. An alarm was ringing in his head. He was screwed.

 

“Geez. What should we do, Gillian? The book is already in my hands.”

 

Sellonia taunted and walked toward him.

 

She saw Gillian, who was hiding behind his robe, trembling.

 

It was the first time she had seen such an appearance.

 

Every time they met, she only saw him as stiff and businesslike. It was incredibly ridiculous.

 

“P-Princess, that’s not it. You misunderstood.”

 

“The vice guild leader of Finnest was Grace’s puppet. How funny.”

 

Sellonia sneered, roughly sweeping her bangs.

 

Ah, she was so angry that her hands were trembling.

 

“What is that… No! You really misunderstood. I can explain everything.”

 

Gillian stumbled back with a shocked face. His lips were so dry that he kept running his tongue over them.

 

“What explanation? Oh, are you going to explain that you set fire to Wicklander’s store and killed Wicklander?”

 

“How can you…”

 

Sellonia was shocked by Gillian’s reaction.

 

He set fire to kill innocent people just to avoid being caught as Grace’s puppet.

 

Whether he was fooled by Grace or not, this was a serious crime.

 

“Are you crazy, you?”

 

“…”

“Don’t think you can get away with it. I won’t let you.”

 

Gillian’s eyes quickly turned to the warning-like voice.

 

In the brightly lit store, all she could see was Sellonia. A cornered mouse would bite a cat.

 

Before he was a member of the Basin family, he was Grace’s. He would do anything for Grace.

 

“Princess, are you alone?”

 

“There’s no need to use several people to catch one of you. It’s a waste of manpower.”

 

“Ha. You don’t think I’ll believe that, do you? I know you’re hiding.”

 

Gillian laughed at Sellonia.

 

Even if she was a savior, there was no way a woman could defeat a grown man. So she must have hidden her manpower somewhere.

 

But who was he? He was the vice guild leader of Finnest, the best information guild in the Empire.

 

Though it would be a headache if the Princess got hurt, the first priority was to get out of this place.

 

Gillian moved his hand very secretly. He did so as not to be noticed, and it went into the wide sleeve.

 

The busy hand grabbed something inside the sleeve and quickly threw it at Sellonia. Something sharp flew towards her very quickly, cutting through the air.

 

Gillian quickly ran towards the door.

 

The knights would obviously rush to save the Princess, so he took advantage of that gap.

 

“M-Miss!”

 

Hearing Ella’s surprised voice, Sellonia tightly closed her eyes.

 

This was such an unexpected and sudden action that she had no time to avoid it. Even if he was Grace’s person, she didn’t know that the vice guild leader of Finnest would throw a weapon at her, a princess.

 

“Ugh!”

 

It was then.

 

Gillian’s scream was heard along with the sound of rolling.

 

Sellonia’s closed eyes opened wide.

 

There was no pain as expected. For someone had caught the dagger flying from far away. Tan quickly grabbed the dagger that was flying towards her and immediately grabbed Gillian.

 

He slammed Gillian’s head to the floor and slammed his knee into her back, and soon he threw the dagger in his hand far away.

 

“Ugh! Don’t let go!”

 

Gillian, who was pinned to the floor like a criminal, struggled.

 

How could he…!

 

Tan pulled out the rope he had prepared in advance without wavering even as an adult man struggled below.

 

Then he immediately tied Gillian’s hands and feet. He couldn’t escape at all.

 

“Let go!”

 

Gillian, who was tied up helplessly, struggled to escape, but Tan grabbed the back of his neck and lifted him up.

 

He was dragged away like a trash bag by Tan’s hands.

 

Gillian’s face, which was revealed by the robe being torn off in humiliation, was flushed red.

 

Tan stopped in front of Sellonia and pulled a chair that was placed next to the counter. He threw Gillian onto the chair with one hand.

 

Looking good for interrogation.

 

“Huh…”

 

Sellonia blinked at what happened in an instant.

 

What just happened?

 

In that short time, not only did he block the dagger, he even captured and bound Gillian.

 

She really didn’t need multiple knights, Tan was a one-man army. He was infinitely fearful when he was on someone else’s side, yet incredibly reliable when he was on his own side.

 

“Are you okay?”

 

Tan immediately looked around Sellonia’s body and asked.

 

When Sellonia nodded with a blank expression, Gillian, who had been biting his lip, raised his voice without knowing the subject.

 

“Ha. The Princess, you’ll regret doing this to me.”

 

“Regret? I’ll make you regret it.”

 

Sellonia glared at Gillian with cold eyes.
