ただのモブなのに、侯爵家跡取りの保護者になりまして Tada no mobunanoni, kōshaku-ka atotori no hogo-sha ni narimashite Even though I was just a mob character, I ended up becoming the guardian of the heir to the Marquis family.

I was supposed to have died in an accident… but when I opened my eyes, I found myself inside the pages of my favorite novel! And the worst part? I wasn’t reborn as the heroine or even the villainess… but as a completely insignificant side character. According to the original story, the noble couple I work for will soon disappear, and all the servants will be dismissed afterward. I knew exactly how it was going to play out, so I told myself: “I’ll just live quietly, freely, and comfortably in my own way.” But things didn’t go as planned… Suddenly, and completely against the original plot, I find myself in charge of the marquess’s children, who were left behind after the tragic accident. I’ve become their guardian, even though I was never meant to play this role! Even when I tried to walk away, I couldn’t ignore their innocent eyes and their need for comfort… So I chose to take on the responsibility, leading them on a journey filled with surprises and challenges.

I hope there would not be any plot twist like the FL was really royalty, noble or some hidden powerful background just to "ease the marriage"

She does have some hidden oddities in her origins because of how she transmigrated, but isnt secretly OP. The original is a korean web novel called The Extra Guardian Missed the Right Time to Leave if you want to read ahead.

Wasn't FL literally assigned as the twins' attendant? How can someone who isn't even her boss order her to stay away from her charges?

I'd be superstitious too if I had personal dealings with fairies.

This is the absolute stupidest scheme. It has no chance of holding together the moment a member of the family who cares about Joshua returns. "The maid brought my deadly gift to Joshua, so its her fault" just isn't going to fly with anyone who has the slightest bit of authority, and then she would be rightly treated as having attempted an assassination.

While the story and characters can be stupid here and there, it's more than enjoyable in other parts to more than make up for it. The overarching story has smaller plots and antagonists, none of which overstay their welcome so the story manages to stay fresh. The lead has a lot of personality and her chemistry with other characters are fun to see. And best of all it's a complete story! However it would've been nice if there was more of the ending.

"How could I have fallen into such a simple trap!"


Honestly, I'm very disappointed in you, protags, falling for this was just straight up stupid.

What an obvious betrayal and kidnapping. I'm glad the knights were at least following her in secret...but why aren't there bodyguards closer to her when she's now a high ranking noble's daughter and also obviously a major target for kidnapping after she painted a huge target on herself?

I'm real curious what FL's plan is painting a huge target on herself and then wandering into hostile territory without any allies.


I'm glad she finally remembered again that she has to do something for the Fairy Queen or she dies, because it sure seemed like she forgot about that.

I love that the villain is here on a diplomatic mission, but seems to spend all of his time being a rude drunken asshole to everyone, forcing his way into parties and the like.

I'm not surprised red head lost the fight for the throne. Her plan to marry a man was to very obviously cause the deaths of his nephew and lover...and that's it. That was proposal strategy. I assume her fight for the throne involved trying to murder the children of all the nobles in order to convince them to support her.

The princess, upset that getting a guy's nephew mauled by a vicious animal didn't work as a courting method.

That Princess is a f*****g b***h, I know you have plans and ambitions, but do you really need to involve a young child in all of this?

Princess: "I know absolutely nothing about this magical creature, but of course its not dangerous."

Feels like the artist was half-assing this chapter. There was a tsunami in that tiny lake? And the fairy said FL must have fallen from a cliff despite a rather open and extremely flat forest being shown?

Wonder why OGFL is acting like a yandere towards the children. It doesn't just seem like another reincarnation, that wouldn't explain the obsession with acting refined.
