I Raised an Obsessive Servant

Yurina stared at the necklace in her hands for a long time, as well as the bracelet on her wrist.

‘That’s so strange.’

Worrying about Raynard had taken all of her attention lately, so she didn’t think too much about it until this morning.

It is said that on the day Yurina was attacked, Raynard saw the stone in his necklace crack and intuitively sensed that something was happening to her. So he immediately tracked her on the bracelet and moved to where she was.

When he arrived, he found Yurina surrounded by wolves, who had already resigned herself to everything and closed her eyes. It remains a mystery why, but the physical defense magic didn’t work, so he instinctively covered Yurina with his body.

According to Sir Aaron, if she had been bitten by a wolf, he would most likely have been drawn to her throat. And that is certain death.

Yurina’s hands were shaking and sweating just thinking about it. Even now, when everything was behind.

Whenever Yurina’s family or Reynard recalled the whole incident, they all breathed a sigh of relief, saying that luck was on their side.

However, there was one person who didn’t consider it a simple stroke of luck.

Yurina was the only one in this world who knew everything in advance. She barely remembered the details of the novel, but she knew that her character would be fine, at least until she was 18 and before her debut.

Then everything will begin.

Yurina gripped the necklace so tightly that her hands turned white.

‘This assassination is a blow to our entire home.’

The Marquis suggested that the attack was orchestrated by someone targeting the Carthia family. The Marquis was relatively pure compared to other nobles, but he was not without enemies.

He also reasoned that it would be difficult to get close to the Marquis or her three brothers while they were out hunting. So Yurina was the easiest target. And if there was the Marquise instead of Yurina, it must be assumed that she would be the first target.

Yurina herself thought that a conspiracy against their house was more plausible than an assassination attempt on her personally.

But that didn’t change the fact that she almost died.

‘I survived thanks to Ray.’

And if, as was the case in the original, Marquis De Flon had taken Reynard to himself, if he had not been by her side…

No, what if Reynard didn’t graduate early and still sit in the academy…

‘Then what would happen to me?’

Thinking about it made Yurina dizzy. She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths to clear her mind.

In the books she read, there was often a heavy price to pay for distorting the original. Due to the content being changed, the story developed differently from the original, and there were instances where the protagonist couldn’t predict the future at all.

“I have been attacked before.”

A year and a half ago, Yurina was attacked in the Crohn Kingdom. She didn’t remember well, but perhaps this triggered the butterfly effect. The real Yurina shouldn’t have entered the Crohn Kingdom by that time.

At that moment, she almost died, but Yurina didn’t really think about what happened. She was just trying to get Reynard and change the original.

But what now?

Was Yurina attacked by wolves in the original too? Maybe she just avoided this risk in some other way?

‘Or is it connected to Ray?’

Yurina seemed to have been struck by lightning.

Naturally, the story changed after she brought Reynard into the house. Now it is not clear: has it changed for the better?

Yurina stared at the necklace and bracelet with a strained mind.

The door clicked and opened. Reynard, who had left with Dave, returned to the room alone.

“Where is Dave?”

“I think he had something to talk about with the imperial mage. They turned out to be classmates at the academy.”

“Are you tired?”

Raynard sat down next to Yurina and laughed.

“I’m not a child, and there’s nothing to worry about. I even learned swordsmanship.”

“But still…”

Raynard kissed Yurina on the lips as she blew her cheeks in displeasure. It was the first time she had been interrupted in this way, so she stared at him with wide eyes. Raynard rested his head on her shoulder.

“Very smart.”

He rubbed his nose against Yurina’s shoulder and took a deep breath, trying to catch her scent. Every gesture he made still seemed a little awkward. However, it wasn’t as uncomfortable as before.

“You’ll have to get used to it.”

After hesitating for a bit, Yurina gently stroked his hair while he wrapped his arms around her waist. Raynard laughed softly.

“Why do you have such a gloomy face if you say everything is fine?”

“Do I? I’m okay.”

“Have you got any problems? Do you think I can’t see it?”

After a moment’s hesitation, Raynard pulled something out of his pocket and handed it to Yurina.

“Have you ever seen it?”

Yurina’s face turned to stone in an instant.

Emerald earring. A dark red liquid, presumably blood, had dried on the pin.

Yurina’s hands were trembling at the sudden ominous thought that came to her mind.

Raynard, who studied Yurina’s expression, also became serious.

“Did you see it?”

But she didn’t just see it.

“This is my earring.”

It was the same earring that Emily ‘lost’.
