“……Is Vivian the one with golden hands or am I the one with a golden face!”
Her little head arrogantly lifted. In reality, her neck was so short that it didn’t make much of a difference.
The brothers who boasted that she was the prettiest baby in the world were absolutely not ashamed of her appearance.
“Kyaaauuu!”
“Judging by the high tone of ‘Kyaa,’ it seems you are pleased. Your Highness, our young lady is ready.”
Arkan, who was patiently waiting on the baby bed, gazed at his younger sister, who had become even more radiant through Vivian’s hands.
‘I may have to devote more to sword training. I suspect I’ll have to duel with many men in the future.’
Even until Arkan, holding Evelia, descended to the first floor, no one in the mansion could have guessed.
That Evelia’s birthday party would outdo the Arthina family’s festival and become a festival across the capital.

As Arkan descended the stairs with Evelia, Cedric dashed over and grasped Evelia’s hand, exclaiming,
“Wow…! Our Eve is so sparkling!”
“Our baby, you are really beautiful today. You’ve done a lot of work, Vivian.”
Elysia also complimented Vivian, pressing her lips to Evelia’s forehead.
In fact, Hugo was so moved by his daughter’s appearance that he couldn’t say anything until he quickly recovered and said,
“Our baby, our daughter, happy birthday. Am I the first?”
Hugo, confident that he was the first to wish her a happy birthday, asked.
“Euheung.”
Evelia shook her head and pointed to Vivian.
Deja vu…? Arkan thought.
“So… I’m the second?”
“Euheung.”
Evelia shook her head again and pointed at Arkan.
Hugo, who had been robbed of both the first and second birthday congratulations for his precious daughter, glared fiercely at the innocent Vivian and Arkan.
“Woong… go…?”
When Evelia tilted her head and mumbled something like ‘where to?’, her wise mother, Elysia, understood immediately and answered as she picked her up.
“Our baby, it’s your first birthday. We’re going to the palace.”
…Why are we going to the palace to celebrate my birthday? Dad? Mom?
Evelia looked around, pleading for someone to stop them at the word ‘palace.’
‘Our parents and brothers are hopeless! Stop them, Hadel!’
If the butler Hadel, who had served the Arthina family for a long time, spoke, her parents would definitely reconsider.
But Hadel, being the butler of the Arthina family, only made things worse.
“My lord, the ballroom is decorated with the birth flower ‘Fluners’ for the young lady. The seat for the young lady is made of her birthstone, ‘Estelle’.”
“That’s quite capable.”
‘Oh no, there’s no hope for this household.’
Overwhelmed by the authority of the palace, or rather the emperor’s house, Evelia thought it would be better to lose all her memory quickly and naturally enjoy these things. She nestled against Elysia as she was transferred to the carriage.
“Ah, this is the new carriage you ordered.”
“Yes, it’s packed with all kinds of magic.”
The golden dragonpainted carriage, the symbol of the Arthina family, was Hugo’s work.
Since Evelia’s birth, Hugo had insisted that his precious daughter could not be transported in any old carriage. As a result, he asked the magicians of the Magic Tower to apply all sorts of unnecessary magic, such as shock absorption and pest control.
In fact, there is no such magic as pest control. The magicians of the Magic Tower, who received preferential treatment wherever they went in the empire, could not refuse the duke’s request and had to develop such a spell.
The duke of Arthina, who could buy several city houses with the gold he had generously spent, and his drive, wealth, and output became an enduring story among all the magicians of the Magic Tower.
‘Heoeng… it’s comfortable….’
Evelia, who sat in the Arthina’s carriage feeling no shaking at all, pressed her cheek against the window to watch the scenery outside, thinking that giving up was good for her mental health.
There is no human who does not worship the hero that rarely appears in the long history of mankind.
As the carriage of the Arthina family, decorated with a golden dragon, crossed the city, the citizens who were working in their professions all took off their hats and bowed in respect towards the carriage of the heroic family.
“We have arrived, my lord.”
Edin, the leader of the Artina Knight Order, announced their arrival by opening the carriage door. Immediately, Arkan reached out his arms to Evelia.
“Come, our child, snuggle into your brother and get down.”
When Arkan volunteered to be Evelia’s first escort,
“Brother, that’s cheap!”
Cedric, who had been greedily eyeing Evelia’s first escort, protested.
Yes, it’s cheap, my son, who is not even half of my half. Hugo’s expression crumpled, too childish to utter.
“Cedric is too small, and father is too big, so I will be the escort.”
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
