“April, what’s wrong? Are you okay?”
I quickly held April in my arms, desperately trying to comfort her. Grayan, who had been standing by our side, also carefully examined April with a perplexed expression.
“April, are you okay? Is there somewhere that hurts……”
As Grayan cautiously asked with concern, April, trembling with her small body, reached out her front paws to him.
“……?”
Confused, Grayan wrapped his hands around April. It would be more accurate to say that he actually wrapped up my hand as well.
Anyway, April tightly gripped the sleeve of Grayan’s clothes with her two front paws, and stared at Grayan with eyes full of strong appeal.
“Meow……”
“April……”
After hesitating for a bit, April hopped down to the ground and transformed into a human shape in the blink of an eye.
Then she turned to look at Grayan and me, and opened her mouth.
“The truth is……”
The intruder came in just at that moment.
“Ah, Duke! Duchess! You’re here!”
It was none other than Jade.
…Boy, be mindful.
Damn it, because of Jade, April’s ‘dramatic moment of revealing the truth she had been hiding!’ was thwarted.
Instead, an unexpected threeway encounter… took place.
‘The historic moment when the original female lead, male lead 1, and male lead 2 gathered together for the first time……’
The big problem here was that the female lead was a rabbit.
Yes. April had transformed into a rabbit again……
As soon as Jade appeared, April suddenly lost her courage to speak and closed her mouth, then seeing Lodri, she was startled and turned back into a rabbit.
She seemed to have been scared seeing Lodri, a stranger. I’m not sure, but… maybe the fact that Lodri was a tiger had a big impact……
‘Cowardly rabbit……’
Even in the original, the cowardly rabbit was a bit scared of Lodri. Of course, only at first.
“So this guy here…… is a werewolf and was a slave, and the Duchess rescued him…… is that what you’re saying?”
Jade crossed his arms and looked up and down at Lodri as he asked. Hey, ‘this guy’…… he’s older than you!
“Hey, Jade? Lodri is fifteen. He’s two years older than you.”
“Ah, I see.”
…That’s all you have to say?
You brazen rascal.
“The Duchess wants this guy to participate in knight training…… but I wonder.”
Jade, who was holding his chin with one hand, squinted and glared at Lodri.
“He doesn’t look like he’s ever held a sword, or learned martial arts, can such a guy really become a knight?”
Of course, he can.
Whether they are red tigers or white tigers, all weretigers are outstanding in martial arts, especially Lodri, who has enormous potential.
A talent that could be called a rare genius.
In the original…… I remember him being almost on par with Jade in swordsmanship.
The main lines when Lodri and Jade fought were, “Not bad for a human,” from Lodri, and “Impressive to have skills comparable to mine, a genius,” from Jade.
They fought a lot, but they never once had a decisive victory or defeat.
‘It was always a draw.’
They formed a rival structure not only in swordsmanship but also in love, and it was really curious who would end up with April……
‘The original author had a stroke of bad luck.’
Why would you have a stroke at the very end?
Anyway, personally, I think the most likely male lead to end up with April is Lodri.
First of all, he’s the redemption narrative (and a fall from grace……) that readers like, and he was the first in popularity voting, so……
Male lead candidate 3? That guy…… I’ll omit a detailed explanation.
The sure thing is, nobody can handle that guy. Compared to him, Jade and Lodri are cute.
‘Will I meet with male lead candidate 3 sometime soon? The development is changing due to my involvement.’
…How about I find him first from this side?
If I step forward first and intercept that event before April catches the interest of male lead candidate 3……
Then male lead candidate 3 would be interested in me, not April―.
‘I’ll be the one in danger, not April.’
Ah, of course, there’s no chance I’ll end up in a romance with him! I’m not April, nor am I his peer.
‘Hmm……’
The more I think about it, it seems like a good plan……? I might be in a bit of danger, but.
‘If I can protect April……’
Let’s organize my thoughts first, and try to solve the problem right before my eyes.
I opened my mouth, gazing softly at Jade.
“Whether Rodri can become a knight, we won’t know until we try. He might end up with a swordsmanship skill comparable to yours. As you know, the Redhorn Tribe is known for its martial prowess.”
“……!”
Jade’s eyebrows wriggled dramatically, and his golden eyes involuntarily hardened as they landed on Rodri.
It seemed my words had sparked Jade’s competitive spirit.
“……You’re right, the Duchess speaks the truth. You don’t know until you try.”
Despite his quick acquiescence, he didn’t push any further. He wasn’t entirely intractable, just somewhat stubborn.
“Then, Rodri was it? I will guide you to the headquarters of the Knights. Let’s go.”
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
