My Fiance Is The 2nd Male Lead
Nightingale Parlor

Suiren always met Serena at the Nightingale Parlor. Many girls gather in this place to just mingle with each other while accompanied by a cup of tea and cakes that are appetizing.

When he arrived at the Nightingale Parlor, Suiren could feel the gazes of the people fixed on him. Stare silently until he blatantly felt all. The whispers also sounded clear as if they were intentionally wanting to be heard by him.

They must have read the newspaper today or maybe someone read it and spread the news out of mouth. Whatever it is, it certainly seems that at this time the issue of his engagement became a hot issue.

“Do you think he has done ‘itu’ with Duke Wisteria?”

“My brother said that he was pregnant with Duke's child Wisteria.”

“Really? my aunt said she just wanted to attract the attention of the Crown Prince.”

“Look at her stomach looks more bloated than usual!”

“Hey don't speak too loudly, he looks uncomfortable.”

“Always the quiet ones that have the biggest scandals.”

All these words entered Suiren's ears and made them feel hot.

‘It should stop,’ thought,

He then walked towards the two short-haired and braid-haired girls who were whispering while looking at him cynically. “Are you not curious about the answers to these questions?” ask her while smiling.

The faces of the two girls turned red and they looked like a kitten caught stealing food from someone's kitchen.

“Listen to me! If you have any questions for me to answer, please ask me directly.” Suiren said in a loud voice amidst the people who were talking about it. Even so, he tried hard to keep his legs standing. “That question is intended to be asked not to be saved, right?”

After saying that Suiren again walked towards the private room where Suiren usually met Serena.

She was relieved to find Serena sitting in her chair as usual and waving to Suiren. The smile from his face removed all the mischief in Suiren's head. There is indeed a reason for the author to make Serena as the main character.

“You can tell me when it's ready, I'll be ready to hear you anytime.” Serena said in her soft voice.

He did not know if he could tell everything or not but he was very relieved that there was someone who did not judge him without trying to know the facts first.

“But there's nothing I need to tell you. I am engaged to Duke Wisteria.” Suiren replied while leaning his chin on the table.

Then he quickly added. “Except the part where we do insult to imperial family.”

Serena looked at Suiren with her green eyeballs. “You never told me you were close to Duke Wisteria. Same with Kyrie.”

This news must have confused Serena, because she and Kyrie are very close childhood friends. Serena already considers Kyrie to be an older brother, though Kyrie clearly considers Serena more than that.

“It just happened.” Suiren tried to dodge.

“Omong-by the way, I was right when I said you would meet again with the Crown Prince.” Suiren tried to shift the topic.

Serena's face flushed red and she tried hard to look unmistakable. That made Suiren even more eager to tease her.

“You must have captivated the Crown Prince at that time.”

“Stop! Don't tease me Suiren.” Whimpering. Her shy face was so sweet that Suiren wanted to pinch her cheeks.

“I was very happy when I found out we would be competent together, but it looks like it won't happen.” Suiren twisted her golden hair. “I'm afraid I won't get friends.”

Based on the knowledge of the ‘Serena’ novel he has, Suiren remembers that later Serena will get a lot of haling stars, both from her competitors and from Kyrie Wisteria.

“You don't need to worry, Serena. I'm sure you'll be fine.” Said with a smile.

“What makes you think?”

“My intuition is.” Reply with a secret smile.
