I Ran Away And The Reverse Harem Started

Chapter 2



Chapter 2 Daniel Leandro, the new rich man loved by the Emperor.He was the owner of ‘Holden’, a caravan company with great wealth, and the main male lead in a reverse harem novel.R15 reverse harem novel “The Mistaken Saintess” was a novel about the heartwarming events that occur when the male protagonist from an orphanage enters into an arranged marriage with the most virtuous saint in the kingdom.The three male leads were all from the same orphanage, and the three of them who developed a strong friendship through shared hardships from the orphanage were set to stay and live in the same mansion even after they became adults and rich.Meanwhile, Deborah, the female protagonist, marries Daniel under pressure from the Emperor, who is wary of the temple, but Daniel dislikes the arranged marriage and mistreats Deborah.He tells her that he was forced to marry her, so she shouldn’t dream of being treated like a wife!And while Deborah and Daniel continue to have misunderstandings, other male leads approach Deborah…The plot is that Deborah develops misunderstanding, love, and something intense with three men.‘And I was kind of jealous of Deborah’s situation.’It’s an embarrassing taste, but still, being a married woman living in a mansion with three men and having a relationship with them was the best thing that could have happened to a R15 novel.However, I was unable to possess Deborah, which I should have envied.The person I possessed was simply Extra 1, who was in the same orphanage as the male leads. * * * Rosieta Jensen was an unremarkable-looking extra, with dirty red hair and a slightly lean face.Although the fact that her eyes were a deep purple like lavender was a plus, there was no disagreement that she had an ordinary appearance.Since she was an extra and not a supporting role, is there any way her appearance would be special?Rosieta, no, I was sent to an orphanage with male protagonists when I was eight years old.‘… Daniel, Lucas, Colin? Where have I heard these names before?’It turned out that the orphanage was the one where the three male leads of the original story spent their childhood together.That doesn’t mean I regret becoming friends with them. Thanks to meeting these three people, I was able to have a little more fun during my unfortunate childhood.Well, of course, I ran away alone in the end, so I guess it’s all for nothing. * * *  “I’ve been looking for you for 10 years. It’s been three years since I started hiring people. But I would never have thought that you were living in hiding in a place like this.”Daniel muttered lowly.There was a look in his black eyes. That was definitely madness!

I stood in his way, horrified.“Li-living in hiding. Am I a criminal? I never did that!”“Is living in a shabby mountain village like this not hiding? Thanks to you, I spent a lot of money looking for you.”Daniel’s eyes scanned me lazily.“When I was at the orphanage, I heard that you went to the capital and lived a quiet life, so I looked for you around the city center. But I never thought you’d live in a town like this.”“……”“It’s so strange. I did think you looked a little strange a few days before the orphanage burned down. You suddenly started saying strange things like going to live in the city or immigrating to other countries. And then you ended up living in a village near where the orphanage was, in Danten.”“…….”“As if it was intentionally trying to keep me from finding you.”I stared at Daniel with a puzzled look on my face, but I shouldn’t show any signs of panicking. It would only make me look like I was freaking out.“I… Are you saying I said that on purpose? Like I knew the orphanage was going to burn down?”“I didn’t say that, but what you say is plausible.”A twisted smile appeared on Daniel’s lips.Ever since I was young, I thought he was a guy with a good sense of humor, but I never thought it would be like this.Of course, it was true that I used strange tactics to prevent them from finding me.Just in case, I thought.

What if they found me?I thought, what if the people who are supposed to live with the saint, as in the original, come looking for me?While I was lost in thought with dark thoughts, Daniel spoke in a slightly lighter voice.“Well, I suppose it doesn’t matter now, since I found you anyway.”“Well, yeah, it’s good to see you, my friend, after ten years, haha!”When I exaggeratedly extended my hand and pretended to be happy, Daniel looked down at me again with cold eyes.Ah, I know that look.It was clearly a look in his eyes that said, ‘You’ve been saying that you don’t know me, earlier.’Daniel rudely refused to shake my hand and took something out of his arms. I took the paper Daniel handed me with a puzzled face.“From what I heard, you owed money to the village people. Was it 3 million billing?”“What? No, how could that be…”“That’s a lot of money to borrow from a woman who’s worked for 30 years of her life to pay it back. Isn’t that a big gamble for an inn?”For a moment, a cold feeling passed through my spine. A friend from the orphanage suddenly came to visit me. Also, my friend, who has a lot of money, talks about my debt in a dark way.And I wonder if it’s any different…“I bought it all, your debt.”“What? Why!”“Because it will be troublesome if you run away again.”Daniel said as if it were very obvious.So, what does it matter to you, the male lead, whether I run away or not…I grabbed the hem of Daniel’s robe in a panic. Daniel winced as I tugged at his satin-lined jacket.“I, I don’t approve of it. Give my debt back to the people I owe it to, why should I repay my debt to you?”“Shouldn’t you let go of this?”Daniel stared at me in disbelief. Then he grabbed me by the collar at the back of my head and pulled me away.I couldn’t admit it.I worked so hard to not get involved with the male leads and to protect the original story, but why did it take 10 years for you to find me?‘I was just going to build an inn and live comfortably…’“What’s the matter!”Bam!Suddenly, the restaurant’s door opened roughly, and Lynne and Uncle Jackson, who must have heard me yelling, came running out.I shouted urgently as I looked at the two people while being held by Daniel.“Ly-Lynne! help me!”“… What?”Lynne, who ran out holding a bread knife, asked. * * *  “… So you bought all of Rosie’s debt? Do you know her?”After all the guests had left, Daniel and I sat on chairs and looked at Lynne and Uncle Hans across from us.Daniel answered Uncle Hans’ question faithfully.“Yes, that’s right. I have known Rosieta since I was young. We are friends at the same orphanage. Do you know about the orphanage in the Hollis area?”“I know.”As long as Daniel kept his mouth shut, he looked fine, like a normal person.Moreover, it is hard to believe that he lived in an orphanage when he was young, and Daniel, who came back as a rich man, was handsome and looked radiant to anyone.In fact, Aunt Marylin seemed to believe anything Daniel said, even though he didn’t say anything.I urgently waved my hand.“No, we don’t know each other! I don’t know him at all!”“I know your favorite color, your favorite flower, and that you have three moles on your shoulder in the shape of a triangle. I know your hobby is throwing bread slices at pigeons in the park, and I know you’re terrible at everything you do with your hands: cooking, baking, and embroidery. Need I go on?”As Daniel memorized information about me, Uncle Hans gaped.“Wow, you know so much about our Rosie, right?”“Uncle!”Unbelievable. If things continued like this, even Uncle Hans would be swayed.Daniel continued speaking quickly.“And I know that Rosieta owes you money, too. Half a million bills, right?”“Wow, the power of information….”I rubbed my goosebumpy forearm.Daniel said without changing his expression, looking at the man and his wife.“I will pay that debt for you.”“Why on earth are you?!”“Exactly, why would you pay Rosieta’s debt?”Lynne, who was still, asked.As I looked at Lynne as if she were my savior, Daniel said with a gentle smile.“I am Rosieta’s friend. Of course, it happened 10 years ago, and Rosieta suddenly disappeared, causing trouble to many people, including me….”I paused.“But I still consider her a friend. We had our share of hardships at the orphanage for over 5 years. I’m not just going to pay off Rosieta’s debt, but I don’t intend to charge any interest. I will wait forever until the debt is repaid.”“Wow, that’s very nice of you.”When Uncle Hans snorted nonchalantly at the mention of not charging interest, then clamped his jaw shut when I quickly caught on.But Lynne looked at Daniel without any agitation.“Instead, there will be conditions. Because no one, even a friend, would accept a penny of interest on three million billets without strings attached.”And he muttered lowly.“No matter how rotten the money.”“……”At that moment, a strange atmosphere seemed to flow between Lynne and Daniel. It felt like I had poured cold water on it.Daniel closed his mouth for a moment, then folded his hands on the table and spoke.“I want to take Rosieta to my mansion.”“……!”“There is someone at our mansion who wants to see Rosieta. They’ve been looking for her for 10 years, ever since they’re walking around the streets without a penny.”“……”“I want to keep her by my side, that’s it.”It was strange. At that moment, Daniel’s cool-headed face seemed to have crumbled.… Is it because he said he wanted to keep me by his side?Or is it because they have been looking for me since the orphanage burned down, when they had no money?As I was staring at Daniel’s face for a moment, Lynne sighed and said.“Do whatever you want, then.”“… Lynne?”No, that’s this and that’s that. I don’t want to go with him, regardless of how sorry he looked!However, Lynne spoke in a dry tone and even pushed my back.“It’s a good thing from our perspective. The money I lent to Rosieta was taken from my parents’ retirement funds, so it would be nice if I get it back as soon as possible. I’m against lending money in the first place, not even to family members.”“Ly, Lynne! you…”I’m not even embarrassed to be stubborn anymore when she says things like that. Mr. and Mrs. Hans were restless, but in the end, they couldn’t break their only daughter’s will.So Daniel paid off the debt to Linne’s family as well.Now all of my debts have been completely transferred to Daniel.Besides, he’s taking me to the mansion…It felt like my vision was getting dark.“You’re not going to get your money back anyway because you’re building an inn, are you? I’ll have my family watch over it to make sure they don’t do any damage. Don’t worry, just go.”Seeing me trying to get out of the way, Lynne drove a wedge.
