When I first realized I had possessed a character in a novel, I thought I was lucky.
When I thought I would die in a car accident, another chance was given to me.
Besides, the work that I possessed was the novel 《Walking on the Flower Path》, which I enjoyed reading.
The story of Liena, an orphan who died after a miserable life, returns to the past and is adopted by a duke.
After that, Liena grew up with a lot of love from the duke–her father, and her two older brothers.
A scary father who only cares for his daughter, as well as two older brothers who become friendly whenever they see their younger sister.
The three men from the duke family that made the world shake only raised their hands in front of the baby bunny.
Their scene of making a fuss, teasing, and comforting Liena is one of the greatest pleasures of the novel.
I also really like the childish plot.
‘Only when reading the book……’
So here’s the problem!
What is my role in this world?
A villain destined for destruction? A supporting character destined to die?
Both guesses are wrong.
It was Edel Wallace, Liena’s sister-in-law and the wife of her first brother, Liandro.
In fact, I knew only after possessed that the owner of the body was Edel. Also, the fact that she has light pink hair and jade-colored eyes.
Liandro’s wife was a minor role mentioned only occasionally in the novel.
Liandro chose to marry her purely for the benefit of his family. Like most nobles, it was an arranged marriage without love.
That’s why Edel doesn’t appear much in the scene where the Cassius family gathers, and even though she appears like a bean in the drought, she doesn’t get any attention at all. In contrast to Liandro, who often appears to meet his younger sister even after marriage.
However, I was quite satisfied with this dim character.
‘Because I’m the wife of my favorite character!’
The little duke, Liandro Cassius, with blond hair brighter than the sun, and blue eyes more than a deep lake.
A perfect man who resembles his father, the duke, from his abilities to his appearance.
His charm is that he’s conscientious, serious, and cold in every way but only melts in front of Liena.
Even though it doesn’t mean I love him……
Why? Because I don’t have a deep feeling for the character in a novel.
It has been my long-held theory that a married couple can work well as long as there is trust and respect.
In addition, Edel is less likely to get involved in troublesome work due to her small number of appearances–though she is also a member of the Cassius family, which is guaranteed to prosper from generation to generation.
Is there a better audience seat to watch the development of the novel than this?
It’s a decent life considering that I’ve fallen into an unfamiliar world.
Let’s take a sneak peek on the flower path that the female lead will walk!
……looking back, I was overly optimistic back then.
It didn’t take long for my hopes and anticipations for my second life to start creaking.

“……what did you just say?”
At Liandro’s question, my consciousness returned to the present.
Oh no. I was drenched in emotion for a moment.
The moment I said I would end this relationship, I only looked back at the past.
“Wife, answer me.”
I faced the man who asked me in a suppressed voice.
He looked angry and shocked.
Except for things related to his younger sister, Liandro never expresses his emotions above a certain level.
Such a man looks at me and shows an attitude that he cannot control his emotions.
A man who strangely avoided me after marriage and never had any rational contact with me.
I deliberately pronounced the following words over and over again.
“I said we have to get a divorce.”
“……divorce?”
Seeing my husband’s poorly wrinkled face aroused a strange pleasure in my chest.
At the same time, I felt so relieved as if the weight I had carried for ten years had been reduced.
I realized it again.
I wanted a divorce.
I didn’t clearly realize it, but in fact, I kept hoping for the end of this relationship.
Anyway, I know that Liandro loves his younger sister very much.
I’m not really sincere either. If I endure it for a bit, my life will be comfortable.
All the dozens of reasons to prevent this breakup were meaningless.
“Let’s divorce. As soon as possible.”
There was even a hint of excitement in my tone of voice when it came to talking about the divorce.
“……”
“……”
“……”
I already said what I wanted, and the atmosphere on the table was indescribably cold.
The Duke of Cassius took turns looking at me and Leandro, speechless.
Even Duke Cassius, whom the emperor respected, looked quite uncomfortable. The servants who had served the food held their breath.
Liena was the first to break the heavy silence.
“Divorce? That makes no sense!”
She got up so quickly that her chair was pushed back.
Stimulated by Liena’s words, Leheim said, “That’s right, sister-in-law! Of course, he was wrong, but divorce is absurd.”
On the other hand, Liandro looked dazed after hearing the word ‘divorce’, but his younger siblings were more upset.
I calmly folded the napkin I had placed on my lap.
“I didn’t make a hasty decision. It was a decision I came to after long consideration.”
Sometimes a lie is necessary.
The duke, who had been silent until then, said, “Edel, in this world, nothing can be done with just your will—”
“I had a good meal. It didn’t taste very good, though.”
