“Gray…! To betray me!”
Olivier cried out, wrapping her hands around her head. Suddenly appearing, a man named Cain patted her shoulder and glared at us. What a fierce look in his eyes.
‘But what betrayal? What on earth happened?’
Glancing at Grayan with a probing expression, he subtly averted his gaze. …This person, what did he do to Olivier at the restaurant? Could it be… pretended to be her (fake) son?
“Duke Salisbury. To intrude so recklessly into a private religious facility. Isn’t this against the laws of the Kingdom of Elowin?”
Unlike Olivier, who kept saying ‘Gray, Gray,’ Cain, who looked relatively sane, questioned Grayan.
“You kidnapped and imprisoned beastchildren in a room to suck their life force? Isn’t that against Elowin’s laws?”
“…That is…”
As Grayan coldly rebuffed him, Cain appeared taken aback, his mouth agape. He didn’t seem to expect that Grayan would notice something about the white room.
“That room… was constructed for therapeutic purposes. So is this entire facility.”
“I have no time to listen to the nonsense of a cult. Captain Cavil!”
“Yes!!”
“You guys block them. We’re not here for fun, so show some skills.”
“Understood!”
With a confident shout, Cavil and the knights who responded robustly aimed their swords at the guards.
Cain glared at us, grinding his teeth.
“That place beyond the door is sacred! It’s not a place for mongrels like you to violate!”
‘He’s crazy. Moreover, calling us mongrels…’
Since he called the beastpeople mongrels, he clearly despised them. I knew it would be like this.
“Those who use the term mongrel always end up in ruins!”
I yelled at Cain and quickly grabbed Grayan’s hand to escape. Arwin was already far ahead. Being a snake, he’s fast…
As we hurried along, a soft laugh sounded next to me.
“…?”
Why is he laughing? I glanced at Grayan with a puzzled expression.
He asked with apparent amusement.
“Where did you see those ruined ones, My Lady?”
“Ah, that.”
I couldn’t exactly mention 《Ha× Po×》… Have you ever heard of HeWhoMustNotBeNamed?
“Just… in novels or something.”
“Do you like novels?”
“Well, yes. I like all stories.”
Although I said this, I couldn’t reveal the fact that I was close to a web novel maniac. Sometimes it felt inconvenient not having someone to talk about it with.
{Why not? We’re here!}
{Yeah~ Tell us!}
{I just read 《Genius Idol is an SSSRank Infinite Regressor》!}
‘…….’
What’s with these guys?
I really, honestly found the butterflies too suspicious. Knowing the titles of web novels was too strange!
“The sacred or whatever was just a raving, but it’s just an ordinary corridor in structure. The problem is the door at the end of the corridor, where I feel a very powerful magic.”
As we approached, Arwin calmly explained. I asked with a slight disconnect at how reliable he seemed.
“Is it a security spell? Annoying like before?”
“No, this magic is…”
Suddenly, Arwin untied his hair ribbon and threw it beyond the door.
Yes. Literally ‘threw it in.’ The hair ribbon passed right through the door and vanished… evaporated.
Staring wideeyed in disbelief at what just happened, Arwin turned to me and said.
“There must be a significant secret hidden behind this door. But as you can see… everything that passes through the door evaporates.”
(This is a time marker.)
Rodri recalled the first time he saw Gloria.
It was a much earlier time than when he met her in the slave auction house of the Ainstern royal palace.
At that time, Rodri had glimpsed Gloria from afar.
Her soul was bearing a very strange and eerie bloodred hue then.
The emotion that Rodri felt at that moment was intense terror.
A fear from a far distance, something that dare not be resisted, becoming a victim as soon as their eyes met, an extreme terror that cannot be described.
‘It’s a monster.’
Naturally, he came to that conclusion and resolved that, no matter what happened in the future, he should avoid serving that princess as a master.
But then…….
Several years later, when he met Gloria again at the slave auction house of Ainstern Royal Palace—she was quite different from before.
Her soul’s light had changed 180 degrees, so much so that it seemed like she was a completely different person.
Clearly, it had been a dreadful bloodred before… but now, she had the color of a clear blue sky.
“I’m so worried……. Haah……. Rodri, you feel the same way, right?”
April, anxiously pacing the living room, asked as she looked back at Rodri.
Rodri met April’s eyes and quietly nodded his head.
He always had to be careful not to touch the sensitive nature of this anxious princess.
So Rodri was always sparing with his words in front of the girl, giving brief answers or just nodding his head.
Words were always the seeds of misunderstandings and doubts.
“Sneaking in…… it won’t work after all.”
“……Yes.”
“Haah…….”
April sighed, deflated, and slumped onto the sofa.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
