Recently, there has been a surprisingly welldecorated reception room. I was sitting on the sofa in that reception room, chewing cookies and scrutinizing Grayan.
Knowing the circumstances of Lordri, his attitude changed a lot. There was still an occasional disgruntled look, but it was clear he was trying to handle it calmly.
“So, you don’t remember anything before you became a slave?”
“Yes. After becoming a slave, I was sold around without settling anywhere.”
I sipped tea while listening to the conversation between Grayan and Lordri. Lordri’s story was consistent with the original. He lost his memory due to an accident before becoming a slave, and all he knew was his name ‘Lordri’.
The reason he couldn’t settle in one place and kept changing owners was because no one could tame Lordri.
Despite the fact that he was a blank slate with no memories, Lordri did not lose his ferocious nature as a beastman, and he repeatedly attacked his owners, was severely whipped, and then sold somewhere else.
‘Then he would have arrived at the slave auction at Ainstern Palace…’
…If it had been like the original, Evangeline would have become Lordri’s owner. And she would have been obsessed with taming Lordri by any means necessary.
‘But she never tamed him to the end…’
That’s only natural. Because Lordri is the second male lead! In other words, the only person who can become special to Lordri is April.
‘Evangeline is nothing more than villain 1. Like Gloria…’
Suddenly, I put down my teacup and stared intently at the red tea. My reflection was on it. The figure of ‘Gloria’.
“…”
“Is the tea to your liking, Duchess?”
“!”
I was startled by the sudden voice and almost dropped my teacup.
My heart was pounding as I turned my head, and I saw Arwin approaching.
…That person, he just appeared in the reception room? I didn’t hear the door open at all!
“The Black Mamba beastmen can move very quietly and secretly. Well, I just teleported here.”
Arwin, who grinned, put a new plate on the table and summoned various tarts and macarons by magic.
The sweet scent made my mouth water without me realizing.
“Enjoy, Duchess. There’s plenty of snacks. Oh, and that tea is a blend of wild berries and hibiscus, if you like it, I’ll give it to you as a gift.”
This person, is he trying to tame me with snacks? Does he think that if he gives me these delicious desserts and tea, I’ll suddenly like him? No way! I still remember your crazy behavior! But I’ll eat all these desserts. And the tea too.
“Thank you, I really liked this tea.”
April would like it too. Our rabbit… is she okay? I left without saying proper goodbye, so my heart feels uneasy.
“I’m glad you liked it. Speaking of which, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a werewolf. They’ve become quite rare these days.”
Arwin naturally shifted the topic and softly looked at Rodri. Rodri also unflinchingly met Arwin’s gaze. It was season 2 of the staring contest…
‘Why do these werewolves love staring contests so much…’
I murmured inwardly as I busily finished off the tart. I also offered a tart to Rodri, but for some reason, he was shocked and firmly refused. What? Doesn’t he like sweet stuff?
“I cannot eat food intended for my master.”
“….”
No, can you please stop calling me master… I swallowed the tart with difficulty, and after washing it down with tea, I opened my mouth.
“Rodri, you’re no longer a slave, so you don’t need to call me master.”
“But, you are the one who saved me.”
Rodri was looking at me with shining eyes. It was like… the gaze of a cat looking at the only human it could trust.
‘…This guy, can it be…’
Did he come to see me, not April, as his savior?
‘Oh my god. This is going to be troublesome.’
Rodri has a very strong tendency to depend on the object of his affection. It seems like the only way to reform this guy is to nurture his independence.
Otherwise, like a mother duck, I’ll be followed around!
‘Sigh, like these problematic soninlaw candidates…’
… At this point, I’m starting to worry. The main male candidate 3, how to handle the most problematic one?
“Then, please be careful on your way, Duke. And Duchess.”
Arwin bid farewell to Grayan and me leaving the fortress. Rodri, perhaps uncomfortable with Arwin’s constant observation, hid early in the carriage.
“Next time you come to play, please bring Princess April too. She likes to study magic.”
April likes magic…? It was news to me. I thought April was a battle (physical) rabbit?
‘Ah, could she be aiming to be a magic swordsman rabbit!’
Such a big picture for April…! It’s an extraordinary rabbit. Not an ordinary rabbit.
“And, Duchess.”
“….?”
“Can I have your hand for a moment?”
My hand…? I looked at Arwin suspiciously. ‘You can’t trust the Ainstern royal family,’ he wouldn’t cast some strange spell on me, would he? Like a 24hour surveillance spell… I’m not sure if such a thing actually exists.
“It’s nothing serious, I just need to confirm something.”
“Um… Okay.”
I held out my hand with a suspicious look. Arwin took my hand with utmost courtesy, closed his eyes for a moment, and stayed silent.
‘What is he doing…?’
I wasn’t sure if it was my imagination, but I felt a strange sensation.
An indescribable feeling of incongruity…
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.
