Many people had already gathered at Flora Palace, where the debutante ball was being held. In early March, announcing the beginning of spring, the view of the palace filled with white and pink flowering trees was incredibly beautiful.
“By the way, I heard Lady Solzberry will debut this year?”
“I wonder what kind of lady she is. The Duke of Solzberry treasures her so much…”
“Moreover, her stepmother… the rumor…”
“Ah…”
People expressed curiosity about the debutante Lady Solzberry this year, and at the same time, they were interested in her stepmother.
Originally, there were rumors that she was wicked, but recently, various opinions have been heard about that very woman. Gloria Ainstain Solzbary, the Duchess.
“I actually thought the Solzbary Duke and Duchess would divorce soon…”
“According to eyewitness accounts, their relationship seems good. It’s strange. Solzbary Duchess was famous for fiercely hating Suins.”
Exactly what romance existed between the two that made the Solzbary Duke win the heart of Princess Gloria? People were very curious.
“Moreover, I heard that the Solzbary Duchess dotes on the Lady immensely. They say they argue like real father and daughter.”
“That’s really strange. The Solzbary Lady… isn’t she neither the Duke’s biological daughter nor related by blood? I heard she’s completely adopted…”
“Today, the only Suin Lady in this ballroom might be the Solzbary Lady. Since all Suins are hiding their traces…”
Interest turned back to Lady Solzbary. April Solzbary, a rare Suin hiding in society without revealing much information, was nothing short of a mystery.
“I’m really curious whether she’s as intelligent and charming as the rumors say.”
As people’s interest and curiosity matured…
“His Grace, the Duke of Solzbary, Her Grace, the Duchess of Solzbary, and Lady Solzbary have arrived!”
Finally, the protagonists of the rumors arrived at the ballroom.
‘Wow, there are really a lot of people…’
That was my first impression.
‘And we are really famous…’
That was my second impression.
As soon as we entered the ballroom, everyone’s gaze turned towards us. The curiosity in those looks was so blatant that it became uncomfortable.
‘So, this is what the life of a celebrity is like…’
Getting the spotlight isn’t always a good thing.
“The young lady over there must be Lady Solzbary.”
“She’ll become a great beauty when she grows up, won’t she?”
“Even though she’s only fourteen, she’s already so pretty…”
As expected, most people were admiring April. Well, it’s not surprising. If you don’t praise April after seeing her, you might as well have eyes on the soles of your feet.
“And the blonde one…”
“I’m seeing her in person for the first time…”
“Is it true that she no longer hates Suins?”
“She seems hard to approach…”
While subtly hearing stories about me, I arrogantly surveyed the ballroom.
In social circles, dominance is essential. The difference between appearing as an ‘amicable person’ and a ‘down-to-earth person’ was like night and day.
‘Well… Eloine social circles might be different from Ainstain social circles.’
The Ainstain social circles were a realm where hyenas eagerly seized any opportunity to tear someone apart if they made even the slightest mistake.
Observing how easily I recall such facts, it seems I’ve become quite involved with Gloria…
“Um… Your Grace, the Duke of Solzbary, Duchess, and Lady, nice to meet you. I am from the House of Huston…”
Just as someone greeted us, people started gathering around us.
“Your Grace of Solzbary, recently…”
“Nice to meet you, Duchess. I am…”
“I am interested in the business you, Duchess, are involved in…”
“Lady Solzbary, today…”
“Until when will you accept dance requests…”
“Do you have any special talents prepared? Like playing the harp or piano…”
In the midst of pouring attention, I struggled to keep my composure. I might make a mistake if I keep getting caught up in this.
‘People with motion sickness really shouldn’t come to a place like this.’
Grayan shouldn’t have to worry, but… Is April okay?
Feeling worried, I stole a glance at April.
“I’m not interested in embroidery, but I like lacework. And although I haven’t prepared anything special, I can play the harp and piano a bit.”
Surprisingly, she was doing really well. Her skill in dealing with people, constantly smiling and responding, was extraordinary.
‘Wow… What’s this? Weren’t you supposed to be a ruthless, arbitrary rabbit tyrant!’
At this moment, April’s appearance was nothing short of a confidence trick. People are falling for it…! That refined young lady image is fake!
“Come to think of it, Lady Solzbary, you’re also skilled in swordsmanship?”
“Oh my, swordsmanship?”
“Ah…”
With a sudden probing question, April laughed subtly and spoke with a modest attitude.
“I make an effort, but I’m not that great. However, as a member of Solzbary, I must possess enough strength to protect myself. That’s what I think, and I’m working towards it.”
“Wow…”
“Admirable.”
“Lady Solzbary, even though you’re still young, your thoughts seem very profound.”
Everyone… it’s not like that. Well, it’s half true, and half is a facade? Our rabbit is actually a battle maniac! You all are being deceived!
“Then, Lady Solzbary, how about showing us a harp performance later?”
“Yes, I also want to hear Lady’s performance.”
“Yes, then… Shall I play a piece later? Of course, after fulfilling the duties of the ball…”
That’s when it happened.
As people surrounding April were dispersing like the parting of the Red Sea, a… handsome youth! Revealed himself through the gap.
‘What? Who is it? I feel like I’ve seen the portrait before?’
Light brown hair and eyes a shade darker than gold.
Neat attire and hairstyle, with a gentle smile on his face, the boy was truly a beauty as if he had jumped out of a painting.
“Lady Solzbary.”
“… Prince Andrea.”
When the smiling youth extended his hand to April, she slightly bent her knee in greeting. Only then did I realize the identity of the boy.
“Andrea Axis Elowin… the son of King Benoa, the prince!”
A lively and handsome young bud, practically the idol of young girls…!
That Prince Andrea…
“No way, he’s going to ask April to dance…?”
That unimaginable scenario actually happened.
Still extending his hand towards April, Prince Andrea invited her with a gentle tone.
“Lady Solzbary, care to dance with me?”
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.
