Synopsis:
Altina who's fond of books starts pretending to be a mute in order to escape the imposed image of her as a "perfect lady" role that's set-up by her older brother and older sisters. However, that being said, that pretend act will soon be discovered by no other than the head librarian, sir Shijar himself?!
Impressions: So nobles and stuff.
Our MC is from a Duke house. She has an excellent elder brother, and two (2) already married elder sis who often visits her. Our MC is a bookworm. She just wants to read and read and don't want to socialize with other people. So she pretends to be shocked to muteness by her elder brother when she got engaged to one of the Princes so that the engagement would be cancelled. (Can't marry the royalty to a mute). She keeps pretending to be mute, thinking its the best thing in the world, Chapter 4 ended with someone surprising her that she let out her voice.
Well.. what an incredibly selfish MC. She doesn't even feel guilty about worrying her family (she knew that her sisters kept crying about it) and thinks its so good that her brother is now extra gentle and protective towards her (most likely out of guilt or self-blame cos SHE made it seem like HE shocked her to muteness). Waiting for her to get found out~ (Is there going to be blackmail? That seems like a trope.)
The art is really good though. I like Big Bro!!
