The Sickly Grand Duke is Obsessed with Me

Chapter 1.
Who Are…
All Of You?

 

“I-It’s cold.”

Suyeon tried to open her eyes while trembling.
As if it was the aftermath of hard labor, her body didn’t move as she wanted, as if her eyelids were glued.
But before she could open her eyes, the tumultuous voice clung to her ears, making her dizzy.

“Lady, Lady! Are you awake?”

“Oh my God.
Finally, our lady opened her eyes.”

“B-Baby.
My baby, Lusi.”

After finishing her last part-time job, Suyeon could finally lie down in the boarding house.
The boarding house was cold enough that you couldn’t tell the difference between the temperature inside and outside.
However, it was still a comforting house, as it could block the wind.

By the way, she was sure it should have been like that—

What is this fluffy bed and soft pajamas that feel so nice?

‘What’s going on here?’

…is this a dream?

Suyeon forcibly opened her eyes, which were hard to open, and could see the group of people gathered near her, one by one.
Her eyes lit up for a moment as if her sleepiness had gone away.

‘Gasp.’

Various different colors of eyes were sparkling around her.
Suyeon stiffened her body as she met their sparkling eyes.

‘Who are…all of you?’

Viscount Waieos.

Simon Ron Waieos, the current head of the family, who was the closest relative of the emperor and had wealth comparable to the imperial family, was the minister of the Silven Empire.
He could be said to be the central axis of power in name and reality.

In particular, in the early days of his work, he eradicated incompetent officials by hiring talented people based on his cool-headed, quick and accurate judgment.
Since then, nobles have called him ‘Iron-Blooded Minister’ because of his relentless disposition.

Of course, in Suyeon’s eyes, it was just ‘rumors’ spread by people who liked to gossip about others.
Simon, seen in her eyes, was just a typical idiot father who would do everything for his daughter, even die.
It could be seen just by the fact that he had resigned from that great and prestigious position a few days ago, without much thought because his daughter was sick.

It was the same for the servants of this family because the young lady they served had fainted for a long time due to disease and only recently opened her eyes.

“Sigh, I’m all good.
But how long do I have to stay in the room?”

Suyeon, who swept down her tired face, sighed loudly, unlike a child.

She possessed this eight-year-old lady about a month ago.

‘No matter how long I lie sick on the bed, isn’t it a bit too much to not let leave the room?’

A small hand caught my eye.
Fingers that used to look like dry wood sticks, now look like human fingers.

“It’s not like I’m being raised.”

Looking at this, it was hard to understand.
It had only been a while since she slept in the small room of the boarding house, but now she couldn’t believe she was complaining about such luxury.

Suyeon rolled her body once, lying on the wide bed.
Perhaps she had completely forgotten her grunts.
The corners of Suyeon’s lips rose up, drawing a long arc.

“I have become the only daughter of a really wealthy family.”

That fact alone was just like a gentle breeze on one side of her chest.
It was as comfortable as walking on fluffy fur.

“And I don’t have to worry about money anymore.
Hehe… Good things are good.”

Suyeon hummed, feeling happy with the soft touch.

A soft canopy bed with white and thin fabric hanging.  The soft texture of the blanket wrapped around her body every time she moved.

The family she had now, their warm eyes worried about her, and the spacious and comfortable room, including the expensive accessories and other toys that flowed out like water.

Just raising her fingertips, one glance, or one gesture, everyone listened and reacted to her.

Everything she had only seen in her imagination was now her.
She was no longer Han Suyeon, the lonely orphan.

“Elusiana Loti Waieos.”

Mumbling her name, which she was quite used to, Elusiana rolled over the bed as wide as the Atlantic Ocean.

“Lady Elusiana! Lady, where are you?”

“You will be in trouble at this rate.
What are you going to do if you get sick again?”

“Lady, please! Please tell me where you are.
If the Viscount finds out about this, we are going to die.”

Elusiana, who managed to escape from the eyes of servants, quickly hid behind a tree.
She felt a bit sorry for the servants running around searching for her, but she was determined to do what she had in her mind.

‘I’m sorry.
Just suffer a little more.’

She didn’t mean to do this from the beginn
