Rofan's Gem: The Classics of Romance Novel - V1. The Classics of Romance Novel ~ C3.5 ~ Large dog men

What if I make eye contact with the killer as soon as I enter? What if there are dismembered corpses lying around? Just seeing blood makes my stomach churn, and I wonder if I, with my weak stomach, can go there in my right mind. I might faint.

With that thought in mind, Lara pushed open the door and stepped in. The voice of the killer from earlier could be heard from inside. It was so quiet that I couldn’t hear what he was saying.

Slowly, trying to keep my breathing as quiet as possible, I went a little further in and saw a white curtain splattered with blood. My heart pounded in the terrifying atmosphere where it wouldn’t be strange if a scream burst out at any moment.

As I grabbed the end of the curtain and pulled it back, a green operating table appeared. Contrary to what I had expected, there was a man lying there with one leg cut off, but instead, there was only a man lying comfortably with his face wrapped in bandages. He was a male slave who had undergone Western medicine surgery.

“This part here is a bit of a complex, can you just shave it off a little?”

“Of course it’s possible. Click click… … . This is the plastic surgery clinic that has been in operation for 30 years.”

From the inner room, the voices of Elina2 and the murderer, or rather, the plastic surgeon, could be heard clearly. The work of upgrading the appearances of slaves before selling them was being done in this prison.

It was definitely a place that was managed more cleanly than expected, judging from the blood splattering, the floor tiles, wallpaper, and the surroundings of the operating table.

If it were a cliché, it would have been a cruel human experiment by a madman, but fortunately, the non-cliche saved us.

The plastic surgeon showed Elina2 a pamphlet with before and after plastic surgery photos. Seeing the slaves who gave off a good impression of being handsome and beautiful, it seemed like a very capable place. Somehow, it felt like there were many beauties in the prison.

<This can’t be happening. If they weren’t in serious danger of death, there would be no point in the male protagonist coming to save them… … .>

‘What can I do since the non-cliche has already taken over? I can’t do anything about it, right? Hohoho.’

Although she didn’t say it out loud, Lara’s exaggerated laughter said it all.

‘You should set an example, right? Don’t you?’

Quoting the words of God, Lara opened the door and entered the consultation room.

“I’ll get plastic surgery for you. So let my friend go… … . I’m sorry, Elina2. I couldn’t bear to see you being cut in front of me. I want to be of help to you even in this way.”

“Lara… … . That’s right. You have to do something.”

Elina2 looked back with a surprised face and nodded slightly. When he pulled out a chair next to her, Lara sat down and explained her business.

“Anyway, I want to get a consultation before my friend.”

“Who told you to come in without permission? I thought it would take a lot of work, so I put it off for later. If she’s only going to do a little bit of work, you have to completely change it.”

“Hoho, even your jokes are too much! Oh, what an interesting expression, turning it over?” Lara felt her eyes getting wet, but she tried to raise her voice to act confident. She was already crying inside, but she couldn’t show her tears to the laughter of the god in her head.

The male lead didn’t come, and the plastic surgery consultation was held.

“Let’s see. Your face shape is round, but your lips are small, your nose bridge isn’t high, and your face seems a bit asymmetrical. Your eyes are relatively large, but they’re ordinary enough not to leave a special impression.”

The plastic surgery specialist showed off his flowery words while criticizing someone else’s face. Lara nodded as if everything he said was right.

The more I listened, the more desperate I became. I’ve never thought my face was particularly ugly when I looked in the mirror, and I thought it was pretty, but being professionally analyzed like this made me feel really serious.

“Your facial features are generally plain, so you won’t stand out no matter where you go. This is so ordinary that I don’t know where to start.”

The reality of not getting noticed at balls or anywhere else and ending up as an extra felt like it was all because of her looks. Lara spoke in a serious tone.

“I’ll just trust that teacher.” “First, sign here.”

As soon as she signed the consent form for the surgery, Lara went up to the operating table. The plastic surgeon who had given her a chin pad began to wipe her face with a towel soaked in disinfectant.

A slightly stinky smell lingered on her face after the pungent smell.

‘It’s not a foot rag… …?’

Of course, Lara immediately gave up her doubts and looked up at the plastic surgeon with eyes filled with infinite trust. He began to skillfully sketch Lara’s face like a painter.

“First, I’ll cut your chin to make it slimmer, and since your cheekbones are prominent here, I’ll cut them a bit, and if possible, I’ll make dimples so that they look good when you smile. And of course, the front and back prosthesis should be included, and it would be much better if you put a prosthesis in the nose to make a beautiful nose angle.”

“Yes, yes, please do that. I will only trust you, sir. I want to be born pretty again… … .”

<You don’t even believe in God, but you want a miracle, tsk tsk. Why don’t you just not do it? It’s obvious that it’s an illegal procedure.>

The resentment from the argument earlier didn’t go away, so Shin said it with a tick. She was a little worried, but Lara didn’t hear it at all. She just thought that she was picking a fight with her and grumbled inside.

‘Extras don’t have personal satisfaction… … . It’s really fatal and revealing.’

She didn’t want to be like Yeo-ju. She just wanted to love herself more, and she just wanted to be confident in her appearance. Chewing on the anesthetic grass, Lara closed her eyes half nervously and half excitedly.

The moment the surgery was about to begin, the door suddenly opened wide and reporters poured in through the gap.

At the appearance of the reporters, the plastic surgeon dropped the scalpel in his hand. Lara opened her eyes wide, not knowing what was going on, and then realized belatedly that it was the male lead’s appearance.

‘Did you come here leisurely?! The female lead must have already passed away… … . If you’re going to come, you should have come on time. Why would you come at such an important moment?’

As Lara sat on the operating table, blaming the male lead for being late, the reporters quickly grabbed the plastic surgeon and made him kneel on the floor.

“Don’t move! We’ll arrest you on charges of illegal surgery!”

“This is unfair… … ! There have been no side effects, and the medical tools are washed every day!” “Even if there have been no cases of damage yet, it doesn’t change the fact that this is an illegal procedure that has not been officially approved.”

Lara suddenly raised her upper body. The sound of neat footsteps from afar soon led to a man walking between the knights.

He was someone Lara knew. The man’s broad shoulders were revealed beneath his glossy purple hair. Karla, who was looking around with his eyes wide open, met the eyes of the knight standing in front of Lara and quickly approached.

The presence was so great that it seemed to fill the room with a heavy and cold atmosphere. The knight immediately reported.

“He is the one who tried to force illegal procedures on the kidnapped Yeong-ae. Disposition… … .”

“It’s not forced!”

Lara, wearing a comical green chin guard, blocked the plastic surgeon’s path.

“God, there’s nothing wrong with it. I’ll prove it.”

The moment Karlahi was about to say something, the knight from afar ran over and reported to him.

“It seems there’s a slave auction going on upstairs.”

“This place is enough, so go first and arrest those who participated in the auction.” “Yes!”

Lara sharply glared at him as he ordered the knights. He was clearly a man of high status, as I had felt at the Duke’s ball.

‘So you’re impersonating His Majesty without fear. Are you perhaps the vice-captain of the Emperor’s direct guard? Judging by the sword you’re carrying, you seem to be a knight… … .’

Lara finished her guess seriously and spoke to the man who was looking at her.

“If you came to save Yeoju, no, Elina2, you would have been there. So, let me go and do something else. I’ll continue with the surgery.”

After pointing to the room that said “waiting room” with her finger, Lara lay down on the operating table again. It was when the plastic surgeon who was lying flat on the floor and shivering tried to get up. Karla walked slowly.

“Why are you trying to do something so dangerous?”

“You’re handsome enough, so you can’t understand. In my case, my facial features are flat. If you’re going to blahblahblah about the precious face my parents gave me, then forget about it and go find Yeoju.”

“Isn’t being pretty subjective?”

“Even if it’s subjective, there’s a standard of beauty that the public prefers. A small face, big eyes, and a high nose.”

In response to Lara’s words, Karla simply stood next to her and rubbed her chin. “That kind of face is certainly attractive. But isn’t it cute now?”

You look cute. Those words pierced Lara’s heart. Normally, it would have been a compliment that would have sounded boring, but since it was the first time she heard it from a man outside her, her heart beat slightly.

‘Why, why is this happening?’

Her boyfriend was a gentleman in robes, after all. Although it was thin because it was 2D, it was the only one who could fulfill all my romantic fantasies.

“What the hell are you… You’re telling me I’m cute… …?” Lara imitated a proud rose and put a thorn in her words. “I’m sorry if it sounded unpleasant.”

Lara lifted her chin as if she had softened a little at the man’s meek apology. Karla, who was looking at that fresh appearance, had a faint smile on his lips. It was because of the crude sketch drawn on her face.

“Anyway, I don’t think you have to try to change because of others. The more you look at it, the more attractive it becomes.”

Lara blushed, not even realizing that her face was sketched. Then she suddenly came to her senses and elegantly raised her hand to cover her mouth instead of using a fan.

“Huh, huh. I appreciate your words, but I know that I’m attractive even though I’m not pretty, right? Even if you don’t show me that much, I never intended to get plastic surgery in the first place… … .”

‘I’m attractive… …? The more I look at it, the more attractive it becomes? Oh my god… … !’
