I Will Avoid The Male Lead and Make My Harem

Vol. 2 Chapter 11 - Face is The Scary Thing

“Are you still awake, my Lady?

“I’ll be heading to bed soon. Don’t be worried, sleep first.”

Penny yawned and walked out of the room, saying she was going to sleep with her feet stretched out today.

I gave a secret command to William. I wanted to make sure he took care of it properly.

I sat in front of the window, waiting for something. Early in the morning, at dusk.

I could see people starting to work at a glance in this wonderfully comfortable bedroom.

‘I am slowly getting sleepy.’

It was then.

I was utterly relieved when I saw someone dressed in a black robe.

It wasn’t William, though.

Because that person’s figure is much smaller than William…… And the fast walking pace was very familiar to me.

‘Who is that?’

There’s one more suspicious person there.

With a lantern in hand, I stormed out of my seat and down the stairs.

And.

“Stop right there.”

That woman stopped opening Shannon’s bedroom door and raised her robe at my command.

I marched up to the woman, raising the lantern.

The identity was quickly exposed when the hood was tilted back.

“…… Shannon?”

Shannon’s swollen eyes glowed as she looked at me. She seems to have sobbed a lot.

“Where do you go alone at this late hour?”

I said this, but I already knew the answer to Shannon’s whereabouts.

“Did you say your goodbyes to Emma?”

“……”

Shannon didn’t answer, and bit her lower lip. Instead, her trembling eyes told all.

“Hurry up and go in. I’ll pretend as if I never see you. If you’re afraid of being alone,……”

Bang! The door slammed shut in my face.

‘That jerk.’

I felt like an idiot for being concerned about her for so a while.

I’m sure her grief over the loss of her sole friend was severe, but…… It was much better for Shannon not to have Emma next to her.

‘Now she’ll behave like a dead rat.’

Shannon will keep chasing and harassing me if she has Emma by her side like she did before. It would be really troublesome.

I’m delighted I was able to take care of her so quickly.

On my way back to my room, I came across a man dressed in a black robe on the stairwell.

“My Lady.”

He came to a halt and knelt on one knee as the chilly dawn air blew out of him.

It was William.

“How did it turn out?”

“I took care of everything you said.”

“Did anything else happen?”
