Although the knights rushed at him in a group, Grayan easily blocked all attacks.
Even while contemplating other matters, he was relaxed. Grayan thought about Gloria while toying with the knights with one hand.
‘Gloria Ainstern.’
She was undoubtedly a human of the Ainstern Kingdom. Although she married him for political reasons, it was clear that she despised the Lycans.
…That’s what he thought. Until recently.
‘It’s strange. It’s different from the rumors.’
It was famous here in the Eloiwin Kingdom that Gloria had abused the Lycan slaves of the Ainstern royal family.
Was that all? She enjoyed Lycan slave auctions, and even forced Lycan mercenaries to fight until they bled.
Had that person changed overnight…? It was strange no matter how he thought about it.
Maybe, the rumors about her might have been maliciously exaggerated.
‘The real Gloria that I got to know….’
She seemed to sincerely care for April, and seemed to be a genuinely good person. There was no pretense or falsehood in her attitude. It didn’t seem like an act.
‘I never thought she would even climb a tree to save April….’
He still felt chills when he remembered the moment Gloria and April fell from the tree.
What would have happened if he hadn’t caught them? They didn’t fall from a very high place, but they could have broken an arm or a leg. Especially since the ground was frozen solid in winter.
‘…should I cut down all the high trees?’
He was troubled because of April, who hardly ever opened her heart to others and often caused trouble.
But it wasn’t April’s fault. It was all because… he was not performing his role as a father well.
‘But… it’s Gloria Ainstern of all people.’
She had opened April’s tightly closed heart.
Even thinking about it, it was a mystery.
‘…I have to delve into it more.’
The person named Gloria Ainstern.
A pleasant smile curved up Grayan’s lips. At this point, he was genuinely curious. About what kind of person Gloria Ainstern was.
‘She seems to be avoiding me in a peculiar way….’
Well, how long could she do that?
There was a relaxed smile on the confident face of the wolf.
[This is the time separator]The next morning, I opened my eyes in a fresh mood.
‘I slept well…’
I really had a good sleep… Now that I think about it, getting involved in this romantic fantasy might not be a bad thing.
I can sleep as much as I want! I don’t have to deal with assignments, study for exams, or prepare for a job!
‘This is literally the sweet life…!’
Energetically, I got up from my bed and stretched out, suddenly feeling a sense of emptiness, and paused.
…The rabbit disappeared again!
‘No, this creature is truly a morning rabbit. It hasn’t gone missing again, has it?’
I looked around for the rabbit, but it was nowhere in the room.
Feeling a strange sense of disappointment, I started preparing for the day.
Rabbit… April… Where did she go? We were just starting to get close… She could at least say good morning before she goes.
‘Did she eat? She didn’t just eat meat again, did she? She needs to have a balanced diet.’
With the help of the maid, I changed my clothes, tied up my hair, and put on new shoes.
After getting dressed, I walked out of the room and down the corridor, where I saw someone standing in the distance.
They seemed to be in a slightly awkward position.
‘Who could it be?’
And they were quite short. Even shorter than me?
Gasp, she really is tiny! Like a child… no, she is a child!
‘Oh, could it be…?!’
The smallbodied child looked back at me. Her young face, white hair, and eyes were like transparent rose quartz.
My mouth dropped open and my eyes widened in surprise. My heart thumped like it was sprinting.
There was only one girl in this world with such a unique appearance!
‘April!’
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
