I Give Up on the BL Novel's Male Leads - Chapter 142
Illein spoke those harsh words without realizing it. Given that her parents had pressured her with similar tactics, she was particularly sensitive about this issue.
“Come on, you know how it is. For nobles, having children is an obligation. Fulfilling that obligation is what makes one a true noble.”
“…”
“So just tell me a bit. Is she really that sick? Is having a first night too difficult? What about having kids?”
“Willai.”
“Yeah?”
“I’m going to submit this to the police.”
“Oh, well… I suppose there’s nothing I can do then. I just thought this was an important matter.”
Illein felt a sense of frustration and began to spill her thoughts recklessly.
“Illenas is infertile. She’s so sick that even having a first night might be impossible; she might not live long.”
“What?”
Willai froze, looking shocked. For some reason, Illein felt a bit of relief at his expression.
“So?”
She thought Willai would give up, letting out a breath of relief.
“Then I guess you won’t be mad if she goes out and makes a kid?”
“…What?”
“I just want Illenas to spend the rest of her life with me. If itās short, then at least she can be with me while she’s at her most beautiful… Iām okay with that.”
“You must be crazy!”
“I’m saying it out of love. When you love someone, you can think that way.”
“What do you mean? You say you love her, yet you’re thinking about having a kid out of wedlock. Do you not understand how wrong that is?”
“No, whatās wrong with it? Nobles have always done this. It’s natural to get tired of someone after living together for a long time. So, it makes sense to have a mistress on the side.”
Illein thought she couldnāt communicate with Willai.
“Anyway, as long as she gave birth to the first child, it doesnāt matter in noble society.”
“…”
“So think carefully. If Illenas comes to me, I wonāt even need a dowry… but I will require a virginity test.”
“You’re not a virgin yourself, yet you want my sister to undergo a virginity test?”
“I’ll even offer to provide the dowry.”
“I’d rather you find a slave, honestly.”
Illein had now drawn her wand. She couldn’t bear to listen to any more nonsense. Before Willai could make a move, she cast her spell. She wanted to escape this situation immediately.
“Don’t move.”
She cast a paralysis spell on him.
“Ah…!”
Willai froze in place.
“It’ll wear off in five minutes, so just stay still.”
She said this and turned away, clutching the two lunch boxes as she headed for the exit.
“Hey!”
Willai felt an unsettling ache in his chest as he watched Illein effortlessly overpower him and walk away.
“Hey!”
He felt a flutter and beauty in Illenas. But oddly enough, he felt a similar sensation towards Illein, who had bound him with this paralyzing spell.
– Bang!
Before he knew it, Illein had closed the door and disappeared.
Willai felt his heart pounding rapidly, filled with confusion.
“Wait, am I going crazy?”
The thought that he was feeling flustered by a man was absurd to him.
“What on earth…?”
He considered himself a staunch hetero, yet Illein was making him feel quite confused.
“I must be losing my mind.”
His face flushed as he sighed, realizing that he felt flustered by Illein as if she was a woman.

“Illein? Why do you look so hungry?”
Damon approached her with that question.
“Lunch is already half over? Ah…”
Illein felt a bit angry that only half of her lunch break remained due to Willai.
“You haven’t eaten anything?”
“Ah, yeah… it just happened.”
“I’m still a bit hungry. Want to eat on the roof of the annex with me?”
“The annex…? Isn’t that where the Chairman stays…?”
“If we fly, we won’t hit any traps.”
Illein hesitated for a moment at Damonās words, then nodded.
“Okay, letās go to the annex.”
Damon lifted Illeinās lunchbox into the air and took her hand, heading towards the window.
He went out first and then reached out to her.
“Let’s go.”
“I have a fear of heights.”
“Then you can just close your eyes.”
Trembling, she extended her legs out the window, then closed her eyes and let herself go. Damon wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered in her ear.
“You can look up.”
For a moment, she opened her eyes and really looked up; the fluffy clouds seemed very close.
“Wow…”
Just as she marveled at the view, they arrived on the roof of the annex.
“Can you tell me what happened? Or should I find out for myself?”
Damon wanted to ask her what had happened during lunch.
“Damon.”
“You know Iāll figure it out anyway.”
With a bright smile, he waved his wand, placing her lunchbox neatly on a cloth. Then, he used the wind to lift her onto his thigh.
“What are you doing, Damon? What if someone sees us like this?”
Illein quickly sat down on the floor. Damon smiled, looking a bit disappointed.
