Protect Male Lead [Dropped]

Iris has two extraordinary siblings.

People love her eldest brother because he's a genius, and the youngest because she's the loveliest.

Of course, there's no Iris in that love.

A humble, middle child who is neither a genius nor a lovely woman.

Even when Iris fixes her brother's mistake or endure her sister's scourge, no one bothers to notice.

If her siblings are the sun, then Iris's the abandoned, lonely star.

However, one person knows.

.

"I heard you're a genius knight. It seems the rumors are always exaggerated."

Says the man who presses a dagger at her older brother's throat.

Cedric Leontheim, a northern duke who has an eccentric personality, is rumored to have insomnia. The only way he could sleep is to cut a person's throat.

"You don't have to laugh, try, live desperately for someone, or swallow your tears every night."

He says to Iris, who's crouching in the corner.

.

"Cry in my arms, Iris."

While he's dying, he says this.

Iris, who's crying in the arms of her beloved decides as she felt his body turning cold.

I'll protect you. I'll protect you for saving my life.

So Iris returns.
