Leaving behind a somewhat exhausting past life, I reincarnated as the wealthy merchant lord’s third son. My plan was simple: spend my entire life happily reading novels at home.
But that honey-sweet peace didn’t last long—I was tricked into employment by the very father I trusted. And not just any job—I became the servant occupying the beauty’s role in the beast’s castle.
“Let’s see how many days you’ll last.”
“Oh dear, it might be tough for you to keep watch for two whole years. Please, pace yourself.”
An annoying, quarrelsome lion-headed jerk as my employer. But it doesn’t matter. Who cares about some beast’s curse? My only goal is to complete the promised employment period and inherit my father’s merchant company.
At least, that was the plan…
“What if I told you I know how to break your curse?”
“Stop talking nonsense and remove your hand from my lips.”
“Nope.”
Just how did I end up getting tangled like this?
***
(Top): Kalz – Beastly top residing in an ancient castle
Employer (Alpha)’s POV: Honestly, do you think I invited him into my castle willingly? He’s quick-tempered and rushes around like an aggressive boar without thinking. Add to that his shameless belief that he’s always right. The only redeemable quality is his face, I suppose. But he’s not entirely useless. He does his job decently enough and occasionally surprises me with commendable deeds. Strangely enough, the others seem to like him too. Me, liking him? How could you utter such a horrifying thing!
(Bottom): Briel – Beautiful bottom reincarnated into Beauty and the Beast, experiencing life for the second time
Employee (Beta)’s POV: Listen, I was tricked into coming here! If it wasn’t for my father’s merchant company, I would’ve bolted long ago. Think about it—who’d want to work in a castle with an ill-tempered, scary-faced master who insults you to your face without hesitation? Well, sometimes he treats me decently, and I guess there are moments when he seems cute… What’s that? True love breaking the curse? What’s that got to do with me?
When to Read:
