The hands that created hundreds of victims.
“Cut off those hands.”
We couldn’t cut off his neck, but his hands could be cut off.
“Huh? My hands?”
For the first time, Jenerba faltered. Surprised, he looked at his own hands and quickly hid them under his priestly robes.
Then he shook his head left and right in shock.
“Why are you going to cut off my hands that are just there doing nothing?!”
“Cut them off.”
Nodding, Clint moved the sword to Jenerba’s hands.
“Ahh! Wait a moment!”
Jenerba, struggling to hold onto his hands, shouted urgently.
“Well, well! I’ll let go of my hands, so can’t you tell me?! Am I right? Your Majesty is the Holy Maiden!?”
Is that really important at a time like this?
As I remained silent with my face tensed, Jenerba let out a deep sigh.
“Really… I’ve been caught like this, and there’s not even a single gain.”
“What kind of game is this?”
“It feels like catching me was pointless.”
“Stop the nonsense and hand over your hands right away.”
Jenerba tilted his head and then quietly shook his head. No, more precisely, he stared at the ground.
“…The ground?”
In the wave of his gaze, I also turned my eyes to the ground following him.
The ground’s surface was subtly vibrating. And when I noticed it, Jenerba was leisurely smiling.
“It seems like it’s here now. I always find out where I am like this.”
“What?”
“I think I’ll leave now.”
Jenerba brightly smiled, looking behind me. Startled, I quickly turned around.
Jenerba, tilting his head, looked behind me and smiled leisurely.
Then, I saw three large horses and a carriage rushing terrifyingly towards me.
‘Is his subordinates coming to rescue him?’
The ground shook as if a great force was pressing down on it.
Dust rose in the air.
The running horses rushed forward as if they would trample anyone in their way. Their relentless, mad dash made them look like monsters.
Among them, a horse at the forefront was charging directly toward me, as if it would trample me with those terrifying hooves.
“Empress!!!”
The large horse raised its front leg. The shadow it cast covered me so much that I couldn’t see the sun in the sky.
‘…Ah.’
It seemed like a momentary shadow of death.
If a person suddenly finds themselves in a confusing situation, it seems that they can’t do anything.
Even though I saw the approaching horse, my body didn’t move. I thought I would be able to gracefully avoid such a situation.
I didn’t even think about dying. I just stared blankly at the large horse, as if it would swallow me whole.
I have to avoid it… I have to…
That’s when it happened.
“Empress!!!”
A powerful voice struck my eardrums, and a strong force pulled me hard. Then, the sky and the ground mixed together. My vision spun around dizzyingly, causing dizziness.
Thud!
After the dizzying motion stopped, a loud crash was heard.
“Empress!!!”
“…Ha.”
“Are you okay?!”
I turned my head at the sound coming from nearby.
Dust was thick in the air.
The place where I had been standing a moment ago was sunken due to the front hoof of the large horse.
‘If I had been standing there…’
I was fortunate to have quickly moved into Clint’s arms and avoided the rolling ground.
“…Surprised…”
I was so surprised that my lips didn’t move properly. Worried that I might be injured, Clint held me.
“…I’m okay. I’m okay.”
I know. I’m not hurt.
I swallowed the rest of the words and tightly grabbed Clint’s sleeve with trembling hands. Clint nodded as if he understood, then turned his gaze away.
A menacing gaze was directed towards the man who was now on the horse that had just trampled the place I was standing.
“How dare you…”
Clint gritted his teeth. Holding me in his arms, he gripped the sword.
“Please endure it for a moment, even if it’s uncomfortable.”
It seemed like he wanted to protect me as leaving me alone could be dangerous.
In the time Clint had rushed to save me, similarly, followers who had come to rescue Jenerba were standing guard to protect him.
“…Clint.”
I clenched my fists tightly. I couldn’t let this opportunity slip away.
“Capture that bastard.”
Clint looked at me with a surprised expression.
“If we let him go now, we might not get another chance. It’s an order.”
On the other side, Jenerba, who seemed to have heard what I said, looked at me directly, smirking as if it was amusing.
I slowly extended my hand, pointing directly at Jenerba, who didn’t avert his gaze.
“Capture that murderer and make him kneel in front of me.”
“I will obey the order.”
Clint released the hand that had been holding me and adjusted the form of the sword he had used for defense.
Clint’s gaze, now focused on holding the sword to ruthlessly strike people if needed, changed.
Swish!
He swiftly rushed towards Jenerba on the carriage.
‘There will be a commotion, and the security forces will come.’
At least until then, if we kept him restrained here, he wouldn’t easily escape.
Snap!
As Clint rushed forward, about to swing his sword at Jenerba, the man on the horse, who had been riding, agilely jumped down and blocked his way.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
