After I Stopped Sponsoring, the Female Leads Began Obsessing Over Me

82 – I am not interested in the princess’s playthings.

Yergina Pierce.

A named character who has a high probability of reaching 5-star status.

Every time she took a step, her thigh muscles clearly split beneath her short armor caught her attention.

— Jeopuk. Jerk.

The clear sound of footsteps made by metal military boots.

It was the people behind her who discovered that she was dragging something.

“aaah!”

A young lady screamed.

The scream spread around like an infection.

“Sir, isn’t that a person?”

“How could such a hideous thing be brought here?”

Her appearance was too shocking to notice in advance, so I didn’t recognize her. A long blood trail was left on the path Yergina walked.

Quality.

Driving it, Yergina Pierce stood in front of Hermann.

After looking around her, she opened her mouth.

“It’s a really nice banquet, brother.”

Her tone of voice was harsh, like that of a soldier who had gone through a long war, but her pronunciation of ‘brother’ was extremely dignified.

“Yes, why did you come here!”

“I came in a hurry because I heard the banquet was going to be held faster than expected.”

“I never invited you!”

“Oh my, is there a law that says I shouldn’t attend my family’s banquet?”

“Shouldn’t you be on guard at the northern border!”

“Ah. I had to attend my brother’s banquet, so I swept away everything and ran in one step.”

She placed her foot on her partner’s leg and blinked one of her eyes at Hermann. She sounded more like a threat than a wink.

“Don’t lie! I also know clearly how fiercely the barbarians are invading these days!”

“Ah. You knew.”

Smile.

“But how could you hold a banquet on a day like this? I feel sorry for my younger brother who is beating up barbarians at the border.”

“Well, that’s it! Banquets are supposed to be held when the weather is nice!”

“It’s a nice day. Yes. It’s been a little clear these days. Right. Yes. Tsk tsk tsk.”

Why was it so funny that Yergina’s shoulders trembled?

Just a lot of laughter is enough to freeze the surroundings.

With a light movement, as if throwing her small backpack, she threw what she was holding in her hand.

— Grrr!

The blood-covered man thrown in front of Hermann convulses.

“What a bizarre thing this is!”

“I’m surprised that there are only so many people there.”

“Yergina! Be polite!”

“Ah. Yes, courtesy. I’m sorry about that, everyone.”

Nodding.

Yergina bowed her head harshly towards the nobles.

And again when she lifted her face.

— Wheezing

Yergina’s smile, with the corners of her mouth raised so wide that her teeth were visible, was like that of a wild animal.

Her red eyes shine brightly.

“But that’s it.”

Yergina holding the hair of a man lying on the floor.

— Pow!

She hit his head on the floor.

“Ugh!”

A moan coming from a man covered in blood.

His breathing sounded dangerous, as if he would stop breathing at any moment.

A small scream and an even bigger fear spread throughout the banquet hall.

Herman shouted.

“What kind of nonsense is this!”

“What a stupid thing to do?”

Ha!

She cleared her throat and ran her hands through her hair.

The blood on her hands dyed her hair red.

“The reason you can play nobles like this is because there are knights and soldiers active on the border. Is there anyone among the prominent nobles here who can refute this?”

“……”

“But what? Are you just repeating this?”

The banquet hall became deathly quiet.

Yergina sneered and squatted down next to the man lying on the floor.

Then he grabbed the man’s hair again.

Ugh.

Yergina asked, ignoring the man’s screams.

“Hey. Tell me.”

“Ah, Antigonus is eternal. Our people are like four years…”

“Okay, good job.”

— Perok

Yergina’s scorching fist.

“Kruk.”

The man died just like that.

“Antigonus’s offensive is getting stronger day by day. Herman. If you are the first of the Pierce family, don’t sneak into the family like a rat and hold a banquet. Instead, hold a fair banquet in front of the border.”

Yergina continued her words, shaking the blood from her fists.

“That will be the courage to show the true successor to the Pierce family.”

Hermann Pierce was licking his face, as slippery as melted ice, as if he were a goldfish.

The appearance of other nobles was not much different from him.

Among the panicked people, only Yergina smiled.

Its appearance is as ferocious and ferocious as a wild beast.’

— Jukbuk Jukbuk.

She walked out, following the traces of her own blood.

When Yergina’s appearance disappeared and her evil spirit finally faded.

“Huh!”

Someone let out a breath that seemed to have been blocked for a while.

Soon the others also exhaled harshly.

Some young ladies lost their legs and fell to their seats.

Of course. Unlike other nobles, Ian was watching the situation calmly.

‘… It was quite a difficult story line.’

I didn’t expect Yergina’s appearance, but she was definitely on my mind.

Ian spoke to Sharon, who was intentionally standing still.

“Your sister went through a bit of trouble…”

— Ttogak.

Sharon, who glanced at her eyes as if looking at a bug, walked down the red carpet with Yergina leaving her behind.

Ian quietly thought about her.

If you play multiple times, you will find that there are various branches in Chapter 2.

One of the meaningful turning points is the ‘Yergina’s Ball Breakup’ scene.

It is an event that occurs with a low probability, but if this event occurs, the conflict among the Pierce family members will intensify to the highest level.

‘She had some expectations since Sharon appeared out of nowhere.’

The story’s risk level rises sharply just because of the fight between the whales and the shrimp’s back, and the fight between the first and second sons of the Pierce family.

‘But at the same time, the chance of clearing increases.’

Ian took a look around the banquet hall.

Hermann is fussing in the distance with the nobles in confusion.

It seems like there is nothing more to be gained here.

Ian went out through what was the banquet hall’s door for the third time.

Of course, the destination was obvious.

◆

In fact, the scenario in Chapter 2 proceeds under the assumption that the player has developed the talents of the heroine, Sharon Pierce.

In other words, the standard strategy is to raise Sharon Pierce to the level of a 5-star through all kinds of tricks and push her, and have her enter the race to succeed the Pierce family in earnest.

Of course, the Northern Grand Duke has no intention of handing over his position, so the ‘succession fight’ itself is meaningless, but the key to the strategy is to unite one’s side in the process.

The Northern Grand Duke turns the family upside down to the point where he can’t just watch, and he takes advantage of the opportunity to gather evidence.

“…That would be a standard strategy.”

The heroine Sharon Pierce, who was supposed to receive good care, reach the 5-star level, and act as bait to lure the whale, is in such a state that of course I can’t use it, and I have no intention of using it.

“The third is a perfect foreign language high school.”

The third child of the Pierce family has never revealed her existence, so Ian swallowed some of his discomfort and erased her existence.

In some ways, it is the worst situation, but it is a great news that Yergina appears in her story.

A story about a full-scale fight between Hermann and Yergina.

“Whether a shrimp’s back explodes in a whale fight or not.”

If the shrimp wants to survive, it must first fight the whale.

Ian decided to become the bait herself.

“… Where did it go?”

Ian followed Yergina.

Fortunately, the prints of her military boots remained on top of her snow prints, so there was no difficulty in following her.

Looking at it, it seemed to be a forest created for walking within the mansion.

‘That seems like a damn lot of money.’

I walked along the footprints on the snow like that for a while.

“Huh?”

At some point, the footprints disappeared.

The moment when Ian, embarrassed, looked around her.

— Sreuk.

I felt the same sensation as if my neck had been cut.

‘Something warm is moistening my throat.

When I looked down, a small tree branch caught my eye.

“What are you? Ah, the third princess’s plaything.”

When she turned her head towards the voice, Yergina was standing there.

Red eyes that seem to contain fire.

She frowned for a moment, then took her branch and clicked her tongue slightly, as if it was not what she thought.

‘Did you cut your skin with such a thin branch?’

Ian would have been even more shocked if he had seen his neck cut in an exact straight line and at the same depth, but for now, it was like this.

Ian, who hid his nervousness by swallowing her saliva, opened her mouth.

“… It’s not even a plaything.”

“People were muttering when they saw you.”

“This is Ian. Ian Black Angus.”

“hehehe. He’s quite a bold and fun guy.”

Yergina, who had smiled like that, wiped the expression from her face.

“So, Ian, what’s going on? For your information, I’m not satisfied with most of the playthings. You seem so incompetent.”

A chill running down my spine.

Ian opened her mouth, acting calmly, holding on to the spirit that was about to become distant due to the difference in class.

“I didn’t come here to be a plaything.”

“Then why did you follow me?”

From the beginning, she was somewhat wary of her surroundings.

Her voice became rougher.

Her hidden spirit is coming back.

Ian had a hunch.

The fact that she may be mistaking her Ian for Hermann.

She may just be holding on for a long time.

‘If you get hit by that fist, you’ll turn into dust.’

There would be no need to dispose of her body.

The difference between the five stars and those who are not is like the difference between a human and an ant.

In short, this is the worst situation.

In the first place, she had no intention of meeting her like this, with her being followed and caught.

I was planning to go with the concept of meeting someone while out for a walk somewhere.

‘… Damn it.’

Anyway

Answer.

A proper answer is needed.

Yergina’s eyebrows twitched as if she could no longer endure it.

Looking at her fists slowly clenching, Ian opened her mouth.

“I’m in love with Yergina.”

“… What?”

Her sharp eyes collapsed in vain.
