The music changed, signaling the time to part with partners. However, Noah’s hand showed no sign of letting go. While the bewildered Delina hesitated, other people had already changed their partners.
“What, are you going to dance more with me?”
Because they were a little away from the dancing crowd, this situation occurred. Noah said casually.
“Isn’t talking with me more valuable than listening to young nobles bragging about their jewelry?”
“I, well…”
With a wry smile at that remark, Delina finally took Noah’s hand and started dancing again.
“If you came, you could have sent a letter or something. We would have met then.”
“I thought about it, but I have some business to conclude.”
“Oh, the place you stayed?”
Noah, who succeeded in breaking through the lawless stronghold where only weapons and strength were effective, went beyond that and even established a guild inside. Delina, who imagined the wealth of the Diamon Marquis that must have become even greater, shook her head.
“It would be better. Especially when it comes to money, Marquis Diamon is thorough. I don’t know about other things, but when it comes to getting involved with Marquis Diamon and money…”
At that moment, Delina, who recalled more than anyone else that she was deeply involved with Marquis Diamon, broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing this, Noah laughed softly.
“Why? Is it because of your debt?”
“How much is the interest now?”
Noah had originally promised an unlimited interest-free loan during his absence. But now Noah was back. Delina sighed with a resigned expression on her face.
“It was unlimited interest-free while I was away.”
“…”
“Should I continue like that? Unlimited interest-free?”
“!”
At the radical proposal, Delina’s eyes widened. However, soon Delina looked at Noah with cautious eyes. It didn’t make sense for him to do this without any conditions.
“Wait, do you mean… if I don’t repay, you’ll make my descendants repay the debt?”
Noah was a person who could keep exploiting even his grandchildren’s grandchildren. Delina, who imagined her future descendants struggling with debt, shook her head vehemently.
“No. What sin did my future children commit!?”
At Delina’s strong reaction, Noah began to chuckle as if he found it amusing.
“Did you even think of that?”
“Well, you could definitely do that. Right?”
“Well, I can’t deny it, but… If your children end up with the debt, there seems to be a way to resolve it.”
“What way is there? If your children, who resemble you so much, tell my children to pay off the debt. In the first place, what sin did my husband and my children commit?”
“Huh?”
As Delina spoke with rising anger, one possibility flashed through her mind.
‘Wait, to prevent family members from becoming debtors, wouldn’t it be necessary to…’
“Do you know what it is?”
“!”
Suddenly, Noah’s face approached, and Delina, who was startled and tried to step back, was caught by Noah. Unable to find a place to look, Delina rolled her eyes, and Noah opened his mouth with a smile.
“Why, suddenly.”
“No. That’s… I don’t know.”
In the moment the atmosphere became strange, Delina, who even shook her head, stammered. However, Noah’s persistent gaze continued to stick to her.
“Really? You really don’t know?”
“It’s over! The dance is over!”
At that moment, the music that stopped at the right time helped shift the focus. Delina, who seemed to want to escape from Noah’s arms, moved her body in different directions. Noah, without saying anything, let her go as she was still held in his hands.
“Now, now that we’ve had enough conversation, let’s have the last dance with someone else.”
Delina, in a hurry, looked for another partner to dance with, and the music changed. Hearing the familiar melody that followed, both Delina and Noah looked in the direction where the music was coming from.
“This music… It’s definitely from the debutante ball in the past.”
While Delina muttered, someone approached from a distance. Seeing him, Noah raised the corners of his mouth.
“To have this music as the last dance, it looks like an abuse of power, no matter how you look at it.”
“…”
Without responding to Noah’s words, he suddenly extended his hand to Delina. Delina naturally followed the line of sight and looked up at the fingertips.
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…
