Couldn't resist so I MTL Spoiler: Ch 2 In 3 days the imperial princess will have a tea party and he Duke wants FL to get close to the imperial princess so that she has a chance to get to the crown prince and become empress. At the party, FL is with other noble ladies but the princess isn't there. They say that the party was just an excuse for the princess to go out and meet the Grand Duke who she fell in love with. Since the FL's purpose was to meet the princess, she finds out where she is which is in the garden so she goes there. FL trips on men's clothes and is disgusted bc she also finds pants and underwear. Under the clothes, a black rabbit with yellow/gold eyes appears. She picks up rabbitML, wonders why it was hiding there, and if the palace is raising cute rabbits but there was no other rabbits around. She thinks of how in the past nobles would let animals out in the garden for their ceremonial purposes. The animals received all kinds of attention but as time went on, they gradually became neglected by poor management and care and they'll be "cleaned up". FL notices that rabbitML has a scar on his leg and thinks he's being neglected. Instead of meeting the princess, she also ruined the things she prepared to give to the princess which was tea leaves that she dropped when she tripped on the clothes. So the Duke is going to make a big fuss when she goes back. She wonders what will happen to her if the plan continues to fail and what will happen to rabbitML if she leaves so she asks if it wants to go with her. She leaves the garden with rabbitML and after they leave, Sen comes shouting asking where the Grand Duke was. Grand Duke Hadelun de Strelitz is the owner of the Grand Duchy which blocks the Devildom. He is famous in the social world with his outstanding appearance and natural ability, but his private life remains unknown compared to his fame. He is a perfect man, but he also has a secret. Sen finds the Grand Duke's clothes in the garden. He holds the clothes, cries, and curses if it was that time for him to become a rabbit. It was the magic of the Stelitz family which was inherited by the blood of the ancient Spirit. When the time comes for true love, they turn into an animal and they will return back with the power of love. It will be known in advance bc they turn into an animal that was usually seen in a conception dream, but Hadelun was a rabbit. His mother dreamed a bunch of cotton balls and ML thought it would be a wolf or at least a dear so when he finds out, he runs away crying saying he didn't like rabbits. For 20 years, Hadelun had been devoting himself to national affairs to escape from his fate of becoming a temporary but insignificant beast. But the magic was in place and now he is being kidnapped. When rabbitML was first dragged away by FL, he tried to kick her with his hind legs but the FL's expression looked sad so he missed the timing. rabbitML wonders why FL had such deep sorrow in her eyes when she looked like an high-ranking aristocrat who came to the tea party of the imperial princess. They're back at the Duke's mansion and FL finishes bandaging rabbitML's leg. FL was happy she could treat rabbitML with the expensive ointment and that the wound wasn't too bad. rabbitML thinks FL is a strange woman. He wonders why she was wearing such a big wig bc there didn't seem to be a problem with her scalp. He thinks she's wearing it bc the wig was blond and that couldn't easily be expressed with hair dye. The maid is wondering about the rabbit, but then the Duke barges in asking Gernoa(FL) if it was true that she didn't see the princess. He scolds her saying he gave her a precious gift but she didn't even say hello to the princess. FL thinks this was an abhorrent moment. The Duke always calling her Gernoa even though she was worst than Gernoa and Ellie, who was her only acquaintance who knew her secret, would tactfully leave the room. If FL tells the truth, the Duke will get angry and if she lies the Duke will still get angry so she learned from her experience that it was better to stay still until the Duke calms down. The Duke is about to slap her and she thinks it's been a while since she's been hit. Then, rabbitML kicks the Duke in the face with his leg and FL is shocked
Fl will take the rabbit (ML) back with her. When she gets back, FL's fake dad will get angry and will try to hit her And Rabbit-chan (ML) will kick him right in his face
I love the story. Thank you for the spoiler. Please!! Share with us MORE! I'm really curious about the story
Spoiler: Ch 3 The Duke falls down on the floor and FL goes to rabbitML who's standing on his legs looking like a boss and asks if he's ok. The Duke is wondering what hit him in the face and then shouts at Gernoa(FL) asking what's with that dirty furred animal and to give it to him but the FL blocks his way saying she won't. She says that this was the rabbit that the imperial princess gave her. The Duke asks her if that was true and she confirms. FL says that she didn't meet the princess at the tea party so she ordered someone to follow her to the garden and meet her. She gave the precious tea leaves and she received the rabbit in return. The princess said it was a rare species that lives only on a faraway continent. The Duke goes and looks at rabbitML who's on the bed and he agrees that the rabbit wasn't a common animal. rabbitML is wondering why she would lie about the royal family just to save a rabbit and thinks she's definitely not an ordinary lady. The Duke praises FL for doing a great job and that's his daughter. He tells her that at the year-end ball, she has to be the first one to dance with the prince. After the Duke leave, the FL is relived and goes down to the floor. She was getting used to acting fake but her legs were shaking and thought she would fall down. FL goes to sit on the bed and puts rabbitML on her lap. She says she had no regrets bc she save him and so she was proud. rabbitML is blushing and thinking about how she's been hugging him without hesitation since they first met Spoiler: Blushing rabbitML {} For the FL, he was a fragile animal but for him he was in a strange position since he was unfamiliar bc he had no contact with the opposite sex except to dance at the occasional banquets. He thinks she smelled good and being in her arms was cozy It was nighttime and FL says goodnight to rabbitML who was laying down on a pillow and kisses him on his forehead. rabbitML was shook and his furs stood up. She says she will give rabbitML a nice name tomorrow, a name no one had and will only be for him. She thinks of how the Duke is making her take the place of his deceased daughter and taking her name. Before the Duke finds out about her lie, she needs to make a connection with the imperial princess. The year-end ball was coming up so she had to hurry. rabbitML jumps out from the bed and goes to the veranda but it was locked so he goes to the window. He opens the window and thinks that it was too high to jump from. It would have been easy if it was his original body but it was dangerous in his current form. He found out from kicking a while ago that he was overwhelmed with the basic mana management and even got injured in the past on his leg. He decides to stay with the FL for a while until he gets a chance and so he jumps down from the window and goes back to the bed and slee. It's morning and the FL is going through books looking for a name for rabbitML. She finds some ancient names that were famous a long time ago and asks rabbitML what he thinks. rabbitML looks dissatisfied and is tapping his leg. She suggests another name which is Maximus but rabbitML flops down on his back thinking she has terrible naming skills. He thinks Maximus was better but was it the best? FL says that this was harder than she thought since there are so many good names. Ellie said that it was time for FL to begin her liberal arts class, but she suggests another name and it was the last one: Poppy. "What do you think, Poppy? Do you like it?" ML:
I think the crown prince is the 2nd male lead. The duke the antagonist of this story and the imperial princess going to be just a annoying bitch lol
Haha just found out that the princess is actually just a little kid and she’s like aGe dOeSn’T mAtTeR lol and I will surely capture the Grand Duke in the honor of the imperial family blood that runs thru me!
So far I've liked it. The "father" is extremely obnoxious and annoying. No wonder the original daughter killed herself, as it was probably the only way she found to escape from him.
