The Male Leads Were Stolen by the Extra

 After midnight, the dark sky becomes increasingly blue at dawn. Tan was looking at Sellonia who was sleeping. As she fell asleep on the sofa and snuggled into his arms, Tan remained motionless for hours. She buried her face deeper and deeper into his chest, her soft, delicate skin crushing against his, and he couldn’t pull himself away. No, actually that’s a lie. It’s not that he couldn’t take himself off, it’s that he just didn’t want to. He didn’t want to let go of this body that was given to him first. His heart even started beating faster after she touched it. Tan looked down at Sellonia’s face, which was sleeping peacefully, as her face was still flushed. Her face, resting effortlessly and comfortably, was barely visible as her long, silky hair fell over it. Strangely, out of a desire to see, he stretched out his large hand without permission. Sss. As his long fingers moved, her thin hair slowly lifted and fell behind her ear. Then her pale cheeks were revealed, bathed in moonlight. At that moment, his throat trembled loudly. The desire soars again. The red eyes filled with passion burn even redder than usual. In the end, his hand couldn’t return to its original position and he carefully stroked her white cheek with the back of his hand. How soft. So much so that the back of his hand tickles when it touches him. How can every single thing about her be soft? He knew it because they held hands every day. But there was nothing that wasn’t soft or delicate about her cheeks or the slender upper body in his arms. Even hair. It was definitely different from his body, which was firm and tight all over. Is that why, he wonders. He wants to touch everything, even the places he can’t see. He wanted to check if it was because it was a texture he couldn’t feel, or if everything on her was so soft. Why? He has never really thought about wanting to touch anything other than the hand that heals the pain, but now why… “Mmm.” At that time, Sellonia tossed and turned as if her posture was uncomfortable. Tan froze again. Sellonia, who had wriggled several times to find a comfortable position, buried her face in Tan’s chest. A faint, warm breath penetrates his shirt and seeps into his chest. “Ha.” He breathed in the hot breath he had been holding and looked into space. His mind is dizzy. His heart was pounding faster than before. It seemed that only the sound of his own heart was echoing in the room to the quiet surroundings. The noise was so loud that he was worried she might wake up. Tan looked around the dark surroundings, trying to make it all still. Perhaps he was so impressed by the book, the actions the main characters shared kept passing through his mind. Until now, he didn’t understand why he was doing that. He didn’t really know what it was because he looked at those letters. It was obviously like that so why does he have the urge to do those things to her? His mouth is dry. A bitter longing comes over him. Eyes filled with a desire hotter than fire don’t cool down. In the end, Tan picked her up and held her in his arms. If he kept touching her like this, he felt like he would do something. Holding her light body, he quickly walked to the bed and laid her down. She was so deeply asleep that she didn’t wake up except for her eyelids fluttering a few times. Although eventually he tried to go straight back to his own room, he couldn’t take his eyes off her sleeping face. He needs to see her just a little more, just a little more. Time passed by and it was almost dawn. In the end, Tan barely left her room when the sun had risen. *** “Miss, let me help you get ready.” Sellonia was sitting in front of the dressing table, leaving her hair in the hands of the servants. ‘Did I sleep in bed last night?’ Sellonia was puzzled. She apparently fell asleep on the sofa at night while telling Tan to leave, yet when she opened her eyes, she found herself in bed. She was curious so she asked Tan while she was eating this morning. [Didn’t I fall asleep on that sofa?]
[What does that mean. When I told you I was going, you went straight to bed.] He answered like that without looking into her own eyes even once. He was just fiddling with the teacup. Anyway, from what she remembered, she fell asleep on the sofa, but when she opened her eyes and saw she was on the bed, perhaps she laid down on her own like Tan said. She felt like her memory was fading away as she was falling asleep. Her physical strength has really weakened these days. Just as I was wondering if she should at least eat some healthy food, Ella asked. “The Lady of the Marquis of Denroha is 10 years old, right?” “That’s right.” Sellonia nodded her head. A banquet was held today in the March of Denroha, where she was attending, to celebrate the 10th birthday of their lady. “Anyway, I think I’ll have to prepare a gift.” Last night, she was notified of her attendance, so she was unable to prepare a gift. She can’t give what she has, then what should she do… At that time, Sellonia remembered what her father had told her yesterday about how the Marquis of Denroha liked the saviors, especially herself, the healer. So wouldn’t she like this? She moved to realize what she had come up with. *** The grand duchy located in the north. “Shouldn’t we find out?” Kelvin, who had been standing on the terrace looking into the distance, turned around with a dissatisfied look on his face, as if he had endured a lot. Kelvin Feineger. The leader of the grand duchy’s knights, he was in his mid-30s, had golden-brown hair and brown eyes, and had a sturdy physique. Kelvin stood here every morning or night and looked at the place where he used to live. There is a castle wall near the forest of monsters, and the Demon King’s Castle can be seen from the high siege fortress. On a clear day like today, it was visible very clearly. The Demon King’s Castle has now collapsed and no one lives there anymore.  “It may be that you felt that way because the energies of the monsters were mixed.” “But His Grace’s energy is getting stronger as the days go by!” As Kelvin glared at Ius, who responded indifferently, dark energy emanated from his body. However, the thorn-like black energy didn’t last long and soon subsided. “Without any strength. So being stupid shortens your own life.” Ius clicked his tongue towards Kelvin. He was the owner of this castle, Grand Duke Ius Hershbrook. Ius was 50 years old, his hair was all gray, but he had so few wrinkles that one couldn’t tell his age just by looking at his face. In addition, perhaps because he never neglected training, his physique was as sturdy as that of most young people. Is that why? His still-single self was still popular with young women. “If the Master were alive, there is no way he wouldn’t have looked for us.” Ius added a word to Captain Kelvin, who was leaning on the terrace railing and speaking informally to him, the Grand Duke. He treated Kelvin as if he were a colleague. It has to be that way. Because they weren’t real grand duke and knight.  Ius and Kelvin’s real names are Tom and Jack. They were a few non-existent demons whose characteristics were human. Additionally, they had the ability to enter the body of another living being and use that body as their own. They love entertainment and lived in the human world in human form when the Demon King was sealed. Then the Demon King was resurrected, and of course they served him. Tom and Jack were the Demon King’s subjects and closest associates, always serving as their masters eyes and ears and doing so faithfully. However, three months and a few weeks ago, just before the humans invaded the castle, the Master ordered them to leave the castle as they were alone. Ius and Kelvin naturally tried to stay with him, yet were forced out. That day, their master died. It wasn’t a seal; it was a complete annihilation. Unlike monsters, demons were able to share and use the power of the Demon King. However, since they had the Demon King as their host, when the Demon King died, the demons naturally disappeared along with him. So, as soon as Tom and Jack realized that their master was dead, they instinctively entered the bodies of the humans they saw in front of them. Otherwise, they would have completely disappeared. They tried to take revenge by stealing human bodies and somehow extending their lives, but the bodies they entered were those of the Grand Duke and his knight commander who had come out to exterminate the monsters. Moreover, since the host disappeared, they could no longer use their power. In the end, they entered the grand duchy, disguised themselves as the Grand Duke and knight commander, and survived from day to day. However, even this won’t last long. Because their master, the source of their power, wasn’t in this world. It was a miracle that they survived this long without being destroyed. However, not long ago, they began to feel their master’s energy, which had remained very faint, becoming stronger and stronger. “But we still have to find out.” Kelvin didn’t give up hope. For he firmly believed that their master couldn’t have disappeared so easily. “And vacate the castle?” “Ha, you crazy guy. Do you think you’re even a real human being? Wake up. Get rid of human games that don’t work.” At Ius’ answer, Kelvin laughed and frowned in disgust. Who caused the death of the master? Is it a matter to worry about now whether to vacate the grand duchy or not? They don’t even know if their master is alive. If they had had the power to begin with, they would have killed all the humans. “…” Ius had nothing to say to Kelvin’s words. Still, he found it funny that he, as the owner of the castle, was worried about leaving the castle after spending a few months as a human. As he said, no matter how long ago they lived in the human world, they weren’t real humans. “Right. You’re right. Let’s go.” They left without delay. The center of the Empire where the master’s energy can be felt. As an institution.
