I Picked The Loyal Supporting Male Lead

For five years, I pursued the heir of the throne, Christof. One day, a large chunk of text floated in the sky.[Sweetheart, stop being so stubborn. That useless prince isn’t worth it.]Before I could figure out what was happening, another chunk of text appeared.[Just look at Prince Harald. He’s had a crush on you for the longest time!]I turned and met the fifth prince, Harald’s gaze.His gaze was dark, and his hand gripped the wine cup tightly as if he was holding something back.It was rare to see the unruly Mr. Ladies’ Man looking so forlorn.When our eyes met, he immediately put on a fierce look.“Why are you staring at me? Go find your precious Prince Christof.”The text changed.[You fool. You’ve been hugging your pillow at night while saying her name.][This is how you lose a wife.][Mr. Ladies’ Man, you’ve fallen speechless around Louisa this whole time, haven’t you?!]What?!I cautiously handed him the elderflower wine I had brewed myself.Christof reached for

“What are you two doing?”Christof suddenly emerged at the doorway.I shuddered.Before, I could never bear to be apart from him, at that moment, I could not avoid him fast enough.How could I feel affection for a cold-hearted king who killed their entire family?“A man and a woman alone in a room? Louisa, you even changed your clothes!”Harald frowned.“Your Highness, barging into my private chamber like this isn’t exactly proper, is it?”“I—” Christof was speechless. “If I hadn’t come in, how would I know what you two were up to?”Rage surged when I heard this. “It’s not like I belong to you. I can do whatever I want!”Harald was stunned. He looked at me and then at Christof.“No, no. We didn’t do anything. Don’t go saying stuff like that!”[Haha. Why is he backing down like that?][He doesn’t want to ruin Louisa’s reputation, I guess. That’s so sweet, I’m so moved.]Christof whipped his sleeve back in fury.“Did you swallow the wrong medicine today? I’m done with you!

Christof uncharacteristically accompanied me back to the mansion.I looked at the maid beside him. “Your Highness. Did you switch your servant again?The servant lowered her head and said nothing. Christof looked indifferent. “Oh. The last one got sent home.”Strange. Why could none of Christof’s servants stay long?It seemed he did not like being waited on either.“Louisa. Your little act worked perfectly.”He interrupted my thoughts.“Huh?”He smirked and said, “You got close to Harald at the hunt just to make me jealous. Good. I’ll admit I am a bit jealous.”He stood there, looking confident and composed.I was stunned for a moment. Then, I burst out laughing.“Your Highness, don’t get the wrong idea.”I looked straight at him and said deliberately, “I just recently realized that my feelings for you were just some childhood wishful thinking. I no longer like you.“Prince Harald is not some tool to get your attention. Your Highness, you shouldn’t overthink things.”It t

When I was little, I had a secret base.Whenever I was punished by my tutor or had a fight with my father, I would always go there.One day, a little boy, dressed in expensive-looking clothing appeared inside the cave. His face was streaked with tears.He did not speak. He only squatted in the corner and played with my slingshot.That was rude.I scolded him, but he ignored me completely.I reluctantly decided to play with him.Even when the sky was getting dark, he showed no sign of leaving. “Aren’t you going home?”He shook his head.I laughed, thinking he must have caused trouble and was too afraid to go back.“Then I’ll let you stay in this cave for now. In here, no one can find you.”After that day, he kept showing up in my cave.As time went on, I learned that his mother had passed away. The other people in his family were not nice to him.So I puffed out my chest and said, “It’s okay. I’ve got your back.“I’m going to be a hero someday. I’ll protect everyone.”B

Christof was deposed. He was also sentenced to lifelong house arrest.After thinking long and hard, the king decided that Harald possessed the same mettle and majesty as he himself had in his youth. What was more, Harald was the son of his most beloved Queen Mary.Upon hearing that he was about to be appointed the heir to the throne, Harald shook his head vigorously to refuse.But after pondering, he said he needed time to think. I asked out of curiosity, “What’s there to think about? If you don’t want it, just don’t take it.”He cautiously asked, “Well, it just hit me. Didn’t my wife say once that she wanted to be a queen? What do you think, my love?”His words moved me. I chuckled and said, “What does it matter if I want it or not?”He scratched his head. “If you want it, I’ll go talk to Father again. If you don’t, I’ll take you traveling.”I tilted my head. “I don’t want it.”Harald was naturally carefree and romantic. Forcing him to be king would be like asking for his li
