Forced to Sell Myself to the Female Lead After Killing the Male Lead

Morning arrived.

Dim and slightly gloomy sunlight once again poured into the Great Winter Forest, dispersing the dense darkness and bringing with it a scene resembling the revival of all living things.

Of course,

the one revived alongside nature was also a certain pitiful butler.

Escorted by several sixth-tier Abyss Demons, the miserable Saiboke finally returned to the eastern region of the Great Winter Forest after traveling through the night—namely, the former location of the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons’ barrier.

Looking at the familiar landmarks nearby, Saiboke let out a long sigh of relief.

‘Ah... finally... finally back...’

At this moment, Saiboke was practically exhausted. His eyes were bloodshot, his elegant black butler uniform was in tatters and covered with dirt and snow stains, and his originally refined white hair had become a chaotic mess resembling a pile of weeds.

Without question, the current Saiboke no longer possessed even the slightest trace of the elegance he had displayed when first arriving at the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.

Looking down at his utterly miserable appearance, no matter how good-tempered Saiboke was, he still could not stop himself from mentally cursing the Limo-Liyu sisters.

‘Those two... damn brats...’

The moment they saw that Lady Yumo had successfully transformed, they immediately rushed back without a second word. The violent surge of Shadow of Silence Power and the pressure wave it created had directly blasted him off the cliff, causing him to tumble down headfirst exactly as expected...

Fine.

He could accept being abandoned because they were desperate to see their mother.

But the problem was—

Had those two idiots completely forgotten about him afterward?!

They actually left him alone on the cliff and made him walk back by himself?!

You two bastards!

Didn’t you realize how cold the Great Winter Forest became at night?!

Fuck!

He had nearly frozen to death!

Saiboke was practically on the verge of tears.

If he had really frozen to death in the mountains like that, it would have been far too humiliating.

Fortunately, the Abyss Demons sent by Lady Yumo eventually found him and even brought his luggage back to him.

Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable...

Silently, Saiboke recorded the incident in a little notebook.

Incidentally, he already possessed eight such notebooks.

And every single one of them was filled with records of how the two sisters had tormented him since childhood...

Looking at the familiar landmarks ahead, Saiboke knew he had already arrived outside the barrier.

He very consciously jumped down from the back of the six-legged Abyss Demon and opened his spatial ring. A brand-new butler uniform immediately appeared in his hands.

Although he was deeply excited to see Lady Yumo’s human form, he first needed to properly tidy up his appearance.

And so,

twenty minutes quietly passed.

Once fully dressed and groomed, Saiboke once again transformed back into the refined old gentleman he had been before.

Then, he slowly stepped into the barrier.

—

Looking at the scenery within the barrier, Saiboke froze slightly.

The massive and magnificent Hall of Ten Thousand Demons had already vanished without a trace, leaving behind only an enormous empty field and a giant crater.

The drastically changed scenery caused a hint of sadness to surface within Saiboke’s heart.

The scenery from his childhood was gone...

At the same time, Saiboke also confirmed the speculation within his heart.

Lady Yumo had indeed successfully transformed.

The secret technique of the elves had truly worked.

The moment he thought about how the Black Rose family had helped Lady Yumo solve one of the major problems surrounding her transformation, Saiboke could not help but reveal a pleased smile.

This would give their family far more confidence when competing against the others in terms of contributions later on!

The Duke would surely be delighted after hearing the news as well.

And just as Saiboke was thinking this—

a crisp and pleasant girl’s voice, beautiful like heavenly music, suddenly echoed beside his ear.

“Are you alright, Little Sai?”

??!!

T-that voice?!

Hearing those words and that familiar nickname, Saiboke’s entire body trembled.

He hurriedly turned toward the right—the source of the voice.

And in the next instant, reflected within Saiboke’s eyes was an incomparably beautiful black-haired woman dressed in simple leather clothing.

The girl’s peerless beauty and ruby-like red eyes caused Saiboke to briefly lose himself in a daze.

However, relying on the self-control cultivated over many years, Saiboke quickly recovered.

He respectfully bowed toward the girl before him.

Someone who called him “Little Sai,” spoke with the tone of an elder, and possessed blood butterflies dancing around her body—

the girl’s identity was completely obvious.

“There’s no need to worry, Lady Yumo. I’m fine.”

“That’s good. I should apologize on behalf of those two idiots Limo and Liyu first. They actually left you behind in a place like that.”

“It’s alright. I don’t mind very much.”

Saiboke smiled slightly and shook his head in a gentlemanly manner.

No matter what, he still hoped to leave behind the image of a magnanimous person in Lady Yumo’s mind.

As for Limo and Liyu?

He could settle the score with those two later.

However...

Now that he thought about it... 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Looking around at the completely empty surroundings, Saiboke could not help slightly raising his eyebrow.

At this moment, he did not see Limo or Liyu anywhere.

Under normal circumstances, after Lady Yumo successfully transformed, those two mother-obsessed girls should have been clinging tightly to her side.

So where had they gone?

“Looking for Limo and Liyu?”

As if guessing Saiboke’s confusion, Yumo slowly spoke.

“As for those two girls, they said they were going hunting earlier, so they left first. They should be back in a little while.”

“H-hunting?”

“Yeah.”

Hearing that, Saiboke thoughtfully looked toward the southern direction.

If he remembered correctly, the “hunting” those two referred to was definitely not literal hunting.

Looks like some overconfident fools had entered again.

Enmm...

Though, that was no longer his concern.

He still had more important work to do!

Thinking this, Saiboke took a deep breath and turned toward the breathtaking girl sitting atop the giant stone.

Looking at the plain fur coat covering the black-haired girl’s body, Saiboke could not help but make a suggestion.

“Lady Yumo, now that you’ve finally transformed into human form, shouldn’t you also get a proper set of fitting clothes?”

“Hmm? Clothes?”

Hearing this, Yumo puffed out her cheeks and lowered her head to inspect the fur garments she was wearing.

Enmm...

Honestly speaking,

a perfect body like this paired with such rough fur clothing...

did seem somewhat inappropriate.

Yumo slightly nodded, acknowledging Saiboke’s words.

“That’s true. If I go into human society later, I really should get some proper clothes. Enmm... though I probably can’t walk around dressed like this either? They’d probably mistake me for a savage...”

A troubled look appeared on Yumo’s beautiful face.

Seeing this, Saiboke smiled slightly and voluntarily stepped forward.

“There’s no need to worry, Lady Yumo. The Duke and I already prepared clothing for you long ago!”

“Hm?! You already prepared them?”

“Yes. We considered the possibility that Lady Yumo might successfully transform and would need new clothes afterward, so we prepared them in advance. Furthermore, to ensure they would fit properly, we prepared multiple types and sizes.”

“Ohh? That’s surprisingly thoughtful.”

Yumo could not help but praise him.

As expected of the Black Rose family. Reliable as always~

“Then... let me see the clothes?”

Coincidentally, she had also wanted to try out the clothing styles of this other world.

She especially wanted to test those cool knight uniforms she had seen before.

“They will absolutely satisfy you, Lady Yumo!”

After flashing a confident smile, Saiboke directly took out five extremely precious spatial rings from his luggage and instantly activated them.

In the next moment,

under Yumo’s expectant gaze, waves of azure spatial ripples suddenly spread through the area.

Immediately afterward, hundreds of dazzling, luxurious outfits appeared before Yumo’s eyes!

Then—

Miss Yumo completely froze in place.

Because she realized...

every single piece of clothing was women’s clothing.

There were even countless sets of women’s underwear in every imaginable style.

Thick ones.

Thin ones.

Provocative ones.

Even hollowed-out lace ones.

Everything imaginable was present.

The black-haired girl’s eyebrow began twitching uncontrollably.

For some reason,

she suddenly felt a powerful urge to beat Saiboke up.

—

Meanwhile,

on the eastern outskirts of the Great Winter Forest,

after a flash of emerald-green light,

a delicate gray-haired little girl suddenly appeared atop the branches of a gigantic tree.

Looking at the five-man Asumos Church squad that had just entered the Great Winter Forest in the distance, Liyu slowly narrowed her eyes.

Her gaze locked firmly onto the blond man leading the group.

An indescribably cold killing intent gradually surfaced within the girl’s eyes.

‘That symbol... Apostle of Earth? A Hero...?’
