Becoming Bestfriends With the Cold Male Lead

“Livia.”

Low and deep voice rang in her ears.

“….Lucian?!”

Surprised by the voice of someone who could never be heard here, Livia jumped up from her seat.

No, he can’t possibly be here right now, can he?

Lucian stood before Livia, who was blinking at the unbelievable reality before her.

“It’s really hot here……”

“You, you…….”

“Why?”

“How’s your engagement?”

“…… I’m not doing it.”

What does he mean?

“Why aren’t you doing it?”

“So you don’t have to.”

When Lucian looked at him who said it as if it was obvious, she stood there with her mouth wide open and lost for words.

Lucian, who smiled at her, took off his black coat.

He put it on Livia’s shoulder, who was wearing a top that clearly exposed her shoulders.

“Why? Would you like me to be engaged?”

“Huh?”

“I’m not going to get engaged.”

He added in a low as he started to button the coat.

“Neither are you, of course.”

It was when the Crown Prince of the Colden Empire, filled with the smell of cold winter, arrived in the Hate Kingdom where the sun was shining brightly.

“Hello?”

The person sitting beside her snapped their head when Lively spoke so lively.

“Her Highness……”

“Livia.”

As she tilted her head as if there was something wrong in the voice that addressed her, her navy tied hair fluttered.

“Why?”

The compelling red-haired boy sighed at the question.

And a tall, navy-haired man as Livia’s, burst out laughing.

However, despite the conflicting reactions, the words that came out of his mouth were still……

“Talking in an informal manner is a bit……”

“There’s no way I’ll use informal speech.”

“Oh, but I heard you’re younger than me. And we’re two years apart, aren’t we?”

Her blue shining eyes wiped around the room, looking at her father and her escort, who tried to prevent her from using informal speech.

“But, he’s the Crown Prince of the empire. You can’t speak informally to him.”

“I beg you, Your Highness, he is the Imperial Crown Prince.”

“Tsk.”

Livia shook her small shoulders once in disappointment.

The black-haired man with a sharp gaze sitting before them chuckled.

“Urgan. It’s fine for them to speak informally in private.”

“I think so but this is your country.”

Arden, who felt better seeing his friend, husky voice and the same figure he remembered all this time, stared at his son who sat still with his head hung low.

“Lucian, why don’t you speak informally to Livia?”

“……”

Nod.

A lively smile hung on the girl’s face as she looked at the boy who nodded slowly.

“I’m Livia! Are you Lucian?”

“……Yes.”

The black-haired boy with purple eyes that looked similar to amethyst seemed indifferent.

Livia spoke boldly without giving up despite Lucian’s slow and indifferent nod.

“I’m going to stay here for a while from today onwards, so let’s get along well!”

“……Yes.”

Urgan shook his head with a smile after looking at her daughter who used informal speech in the end.

On the other hand, Arden spoke with a smile while looking at cute-looking Livia.

“Yes, Princess Livia. I’ll try my best to make you comfortable during your stay here.”

“Thank you!”

Arden, who was satisfied with Livia’s response, promised once again as he looked at Urgan.

“Urgan. I’ll watch over Livia for you. I’ll contact you often and sometimes go back too, so you don’t have to be so worried, there’s an escort from the kingdom as well. Trust me and go back.”

Urgan, whose anxiety subsided at the sincere words of his friend, finally had a heart to leave his 12-year-old daughter in another country, so he nodded.

“Yes. I believe you. I’ll send you a lot of mangoes that you like, too. Hahaha.”

“Oh, that’s too much. It’s unnecessary. Although I’ve said it since a long time ago, I still don’t like mangoes.”

They stood up from their seats while bickering as they used to do and patted each other on the shoulder.

Of course, a courtesy handshake was necessary as a greeting for the emperor of the empire and king of the kingdom, but they need nothing like that.

Urgan, who spoke farewell to Arden by looking into his eyes and hugged Livia, who was staring at him, before leaving through the door.

Then he glanced at Tiam, the loyal escort of his tomboyish daughter, and nodded at her. Tiam was still young and a troublemaker, no different from his daughter, but he was trustworthy since he wasn’t shy to do anything when it’s related to Livia.

Having decided to make his pace, Urgan slowly turned around and headed to the carriage awaited him.

Although it seemed like a heartbreaking farewell, it was not.

The sight of her father leaving her brought tears to her eyes for a bit, but Livia quickly turned around with clenched fists without looking again until Urgan had gotten far.

“It’s all right, this is just the beginning.”

She murmured in a small voice which no one could hear.

Let just say,

It was an ordinary day when 5-year-old Livia found out that she was a character in the novel.

As usual, she did swordsmanship with Tiam until her face became dirty and filled with dirt before she fell asleep.

“What?”

After sleeping and waking up again as usual, she suddenly realized that she wasn’t the ordinary Livia Hate.

Her previous life suddenly came to her mind, she was doing well without any shortage in life.

She was a loser student who was tired of having to take CSAT (College Scholastic Ability Test) repeatedly, and after studying all night for a few days, she collapsed and died.

She was reincarnated in the Hate Kingdom within the Rofan (Romance Fantasy) Novel named, ‘The Crown Princess Who Melt the Icy Prince’ that she had read in her previous life.

At first, she thought it was a dream because of how unbelievable it was.

However……

Right before she died of exhaustion from studying repeatedly every day, she clearly remembered the content of the ‘The Crown Princess Who Melt the Icy Prince’.

It was really fun when she read the novel after she got exhausted due to the stress of studying.

It was the only time that she got to escape from the boring reality of studying. The happiness and excitement she felt at those times weren’t just a mere dream.

‘T-this is real.’

Livia had no choice but to eventually accept it because the memory was so vivid to her.

However, as time went by, the vivid memories of 5-year-old Livia’s past life gradually faded.

And a year later, Livia completely forgot about the painful and hard memories of her previous life.

Amazingly, except in the novel. The amazing thing was it’s everything except the content of the novel.

Was it because she was so different from her previous life, which was only full of studying and being pressured to get into a good university?

The content of the novel seemed to be more vivid to her because she was impressed by the characteristic of Livia, who was always confident and honest with her feelings despite being a supporting role.

When the painful memories of her previous life vanished, and the vaguely happy memories in the past as well as the content of the novel are the only things she could vividly remember, she was eventually filled with just feelings of anticipation.

‘I’m becoming Livia, my favorite character in the novel.’

She even had a chance to personally meet Lucian Colden, the male lead, and Layla Marin, the lovely and innocent female lead, whose appearance she could never forget.

The love story between Lucian Colden and Layla Marin was really touching.

The process of them, who were previously not interested in each other, and gradually grew feelings for each other was thrilling.

‘Livia Hate is one of the people who was able to see them closely, so I can watch them from the side.’

She was currently the princess of a kingdom.

Tropical fruits growing in the shining sun. Casual clothes. The place where people with various characters live together.

Kingdom of Hate, an ardent and hot country.

The princess that lived there, Livia Hate, was her.

As she already knew, Livia wasn’t the main lead in the novel.

Livia Hate was put in the Colden Empire during her childhood to learn how to handle the Spirit of Fire. There, she met the male lead, Crown Prince Lucian Colden.

It has always been difficult to read Lucian.

Since he was a child, he didn’t easily react to everything, and he didn’t even care about the things which he didn’t take interest in.

A calm and blunt person, which was a complete opposite from Livia, who was lively and a social butterfly.

Although their personalities were different, they spent their childhood together as friends, and in no time Livia had fallen in love with Lucian.

Livia confessed to Lucian after they grew up.

But she was dumped because she was too nice and he didn’t feel anything with her. Later, Lucian met Layla Marin and they fell in love. Despite her disappointment, Livia returned to her country calmly and has been a strong supporter of Lucian ever since then.

The female character with such a hot personality unsurprisingly had fanatic readers.

“As expected, she’s the best. She’s really cool!”

She was unspecifically proud to think that her character had become quite a cool person who was faithful to her feelings without being attached to her love.

Besides, Livia in the novel was as magnificent as her personality.

Highly tied silky blue hair and dark blue eyes.

Her trademark was dimple and the fresh arches of the corner of his mouth that appeared when she smiled brightly.

She was charming and had a bright personality despite not being a main character, she was also a perfect person in addition to being rich and came from a good family.

She thought the male lead, Lucian Colden, definitely had a slightly different taste in women.

It was a good thing for her anyway.

Livia, who was growing up with the love from her parents, the king and queen of Hate Kingdom, was only grateful that she could grow up to be a wonderful person.

‘Is the only man in this world just Lucian?’

Hate Kingdom alone was filled with good-looking men.

It might not be near Lucian’s as depicted in the novel, but one level behind it would be excellent for her.

Anyway, the main lead has been chosen.

Therefore, she could meet a lot of people and do what she wanted to do, and then find a good partner when the time came.

After arranging plans, she thought that she would live a better life in the future.

“I have to make a detailed plan now.”
