Chapter 01

Golden Family’s Gold Family Daughter and Son Obsessed

I’m one of the early readers. I read all 130 released chapters in just one day.

The male lead is completely obsessed, and the female lead is completely tragic.

No-regret obsessive confinement trash-bin yum-yum (⋆ˆ ³ ˆ)♥

You won’t regret taking off with this one. Ah, but there is something a little strange about it…….

What is this? I was staring blankly at the hallucination in front of my eyes.

It was understandable. Letters were written on a translucent plate, like a dragonfly’s wings, and it was floating in the air.

Because my family was wealthy, I had seen many strange things, but this was the first time I had ever seen something that was transparent enough to clearly see through, even though it was not a glass window.

The letters written on the plate, which probably required not only considerable effort but also quite a lot of money to make, were mostly incomprehensible, making the whole thing even more absurd.

“I don’t understand what this means. Where did they run to that there are early readers? Is it some kind of code…….”

I slowly raised my hand. I tried to pick up the plate covered in letters, but my fingertips only passed through empty air, and I was startled.

My eyes widened, and I trembled for a moment before waving my hand through it again, but neither the letters nor the plate could be touched.

“What…….”

There were only two possibilities when something this incomprehensible happened.

Either I had gone crazy, or some crazy magician was playing a prank on me.

For a moment, I also considered the possibility that it was the work of a supernatural ability user, but I decided that was not the case.

‘There are only a very small number of ability users, and they should be in the Imperial Palace. There is no reason for one of them to come all the way to our territory, which isn’t even a border region, just to do something like this.’

Therefore, among the remaining choices, the first one was not favorable to me either, so I had no choice but to assume it was the second one.

That made me feel terribly wronged.

“Who exactly are you? Why are you making fun of me?”

I spoke in a trembling voice to the crazy magician who must have been watching me, but no one appeared.

“Hello? Can you hear me?”

I called out desperately several more times, but the person I wanted did not show themselves.

“My lady? Did you call me?”

Instead, my personal maid, Ena, entered the room with a confused expression.

Since I had been calling out to someone continuously, I seemed to have mistaken things.

I waved my hand to say no, but then I thought of something and asked her.

“Ena, can you see this?”

“See what?”

“This. This thing.”

I pointed at the plate repeatedly with my finger, but Ena still looked confused.

When she asked what I was talking about, I had no choice but to make up something strange.

“……Dust. It’s shining in rainbow colors.”

“Gasp! There’s dust? But I cleaned yesterday! I’m sorry, my lady. I’ll clean it again right now.”

The thing actually shining in rainbow colors was the strange plate……

But since Ena couldn’t see it, she was startled by my words and hurriedly ran outside.

Left alone, I felt my vision grow a little dark.

I was beginning to realize that the identity of this plate was much closer to being a hallucination caused by my mental illness than a prank by some crazy magician.

Before long, Ena returned with things like a broom and chased me out of the room because she had to clean.

Unfortunately, the plate followed me wherever I moved.

I really felt like crying.

After being kicked out of my room, I locked myself in my private study and examined the plate.

The situation was frightening and terrifying because I could not understand it with my mind, but ignoring it would not make it disappear.

If I wanted to solve it, I had no choice but to face it.

‘I can’t keep asking other people if they can see it…….’

If I did that, rumors might immediately spread that the only daughter of Count Estarote had gone crazy and was seeing hallucinations.

So I had to solve this on my own as much as possible.

After carefully examining the transparent plate, I found that it was about the size of two of my hands put together, roughly the size of a sheet of letter paper.

So it was natural that I had initially thought someone might be using magic to send me a secret letter.

I used my brain as much as possible and began analyzing the mysterious sentences.

“Golden Family…… Is it a wealthy family? If there is somewhere that an early group sent by that family would be heading to…… could it mean a frontier area? Maybe this letter was accidentally sent to me instead of another family?”

Seeing the incomprehensible sentences that seemed like some kind of code, I suspected that this might be the case.

Anyway, I just hoped I wasn’t the one who had gone crazy……

As I examined each letter and searched for hidden meanings, I noticed a mysterious number written beneath the last sentence, which ended awkwardly.

“What is this? Why is it 78?”

What could that number be hinting at?

Whenever I was deep in thought, I had a habit of tapping things repeatedly, so without thinking, I raised my finger and pressed the number.

Of course, I thought the only thing that would happen was that my finger would pass through the translucent plate.

But something amazing happened.

“Gasp!”

The plate, which was about the size of a sheet of paper and had only a few sentences written on it with mostly empty space, suddenly displayed another sentence below, as if it were unfolding downward.

(Spoiler warning)

I’m not sure if the author is obsessed with setting details or if there’s simply another character they want to torment besides the female lead, but they keep mentioning characters other than the main character.

And that character is completely frustrating.

A full harvest of sweet potatoes. A farmer of sweet potatoes.

A sweet-potato villain who keeps stuffing sweet potatoes down our throats……

It’s strange that they keep appearing, so I kept an eye on them. At least up to chapter 130, there hasn’t been any problem.

They haven’t even met the female lead or male lead, so I really don’t understand why the author keeps mentioning them.

I wonder if they’re actually the mastermind behind all of this, but if that’s the case, they’re pretty weird.

└ [PleaseLookAtEvilIdlerPleaseㅠ]

Oh my god, Obsessed, I see you here too.

How many serial novels are you reading at the same time?

└ [SaveTheDemonKingAlbertsProfilePic]

I heard this person is an AI bot……

└ [I’mGettingOffThisTranslationHere]

Ah, is it that Countess Estarote girl or whatever?

I’m reading it too, and I thought it was kind of strange.

I really don’t understand why the author included her lol.

We want to read about the male and female leads.

We. Don’t. Want. To. Read. About. An. Unimportant. Extra.

Author. Nim. ^^

└ [NamNamSooMathAcademyDirectorNamNamSoo]

Ah, her lol.

But don’t you think they gave her a really careless name?

What’s with “Lovely”? lol

As I read through the content, I opened my mouth when I saw certain words.

“That Estarote girl,” “the girl from the Count’s family,” and the name “Lovely.”

They were words that had no meaning by themselves, but when they were put together, they pointed to something.

“……Are they talking about me right now?”

Yes.

I was Seiana Lovely Estarote.

I was the only daughter of Count Estarote, with the nickname Lovey.

I was a little annoyed at the comment saying my name had been chosen without much effort, but I calmed my trembling heart and continued reading the posts.

At first, I thought the writing had been written by one person.

But the more I looked at it, the more I thought it was actually a transcription of a conversation between several people.

“It’s really about me, isn’t it?”

There was no way I was the only person in the world named Lovely.

But I was the only Lovely in the Estarote family.

I was the only daughter born to the Count’s family in one hundred years, so my parents, unable to contain their happiness, chose a word meaning “lovely” as my middle name.

Because of that, people often called me Lovely instead of my actual name, or Lovey as a nickname……

There were no women among my close relatives at all, and the word was far too embarrassing to give to a man, so there was no chance anyone else would use it.

But there was something strange.

“224 years? But it’s 220 right now…….”

The year mentioned in their conversation was in the future, not the present.

There were occasional stories about events from further in the past, but most of the conversations were about events after the year 224.

As I continued reading, the sentence suddenly ended halfway through.

I was confused, wondering if there was any way to see more, when something new appeared on the right side of the translucent plate.

It looked like a short stick attached to the upper-right side.

Just in case, I gently touched it, and I found that I could pull it downward.

When I pulled it down, the hidden sentences slowly appeared.

‘So I can see what comes after this with this.’

I was amazed as I continued reading.

Before I knew it, I had read all 78 conversations.

Then the plate floating in the air slowly melted away and disappeared.

“Ah…….”

Until just a moment ago, I had been worried because I did not know how to make it disappear.

But when it actually vanished, I felt strangely flustered.

It disappeared cleanly and without hesitation, as if there was nothing left for me to see.

I even felt a faint sense of disappointment.

I took paper and a pen out of the drawer.

‘If I’m not crazy, and if this really is a conversation telling me about the future…….’

While organizing my now tangled and complicated thoughts, I wrote down what I had understood.

If my mind really had gone strange, then all of this would simply be a waste of time.

But if this was real, then it was better to organize everything before my memories became unclear.

I could doubt it later.

‘It begins in 224.’

It was summer, four years from now.

Perhaps the people having those conversations were beings who observed this world.

Even from the rough count I made, there were more than ten people.

Thinking that so many people were watching the world I lived in made me feel a little uncomfortable.

It was unpleasant enough to feel someone else’s gaze while walking down the street.

But knowing that beings from a higher dimension than this one, beings who were probably like gods, were watching me made me feel not only uncomfortable, but afraid.

“At least, the good thing is that they don’t know I’ve noticed their gaze.”

According to old myths, gods were extremely petty and considered humans to be insignificant creatures.

They enjoyed secretly watching the lives of insignificant creatures, while being extremely contemptuous when the situation was reversed.

A typical example was the story of a traveler who accidentally saw a virgin goddess bathing and lost both of his eyes.

‘She should have bathed in her own temple. Why did she bathe in some random lake…….’

The story was incredibly unfair and infuriating.

The traveler had not even intentionally tried to look, yet the goddess still took both of his eyes without any mercy.

So if they found out that I had secretly watched their conversation, I could not even imagine what they might take from me.

“……And the content of their conversation is a prophecy.”

It probably would not end with my two eyes.

I was almost at the point where I wished I really had gone crazy and was simply seeing hallucinations……

I sighed and looked down at the paper where I had written my notes.

The story they were talking about began in the year 224.

It started with someone called the female lead meeting someone called the male lead.

I did not know whether “female lead” and “male lead” were their names, or whether they were titles referring to the roles in a destiny that the gods had decided……
