“Don’t you know that Lady Hwang Tae-son retires early today? But why are you still here doing this… Come on, move quickly!”
“What is this… Why would I… Lady Hwang Tae-son…?”
Amid the man’s continued urging, Delina, feeling bewildered, noticed something. On her left chest, there was a small embroidered golden sun—the emblem of Betty.
‘Betty!!’
In her mind, Delina called out Betty’s name upon seeing the sun embroidery on her maid uniform. Betty, whom she asked to make a simple maid uniform for the palace, had unexpectedly made an exquisite one with even the emblem of the Hwang family.
“Don’t stand there dawdling! Lady Hwang Tae-son has been tired lately, you know? So be more careful not to make mistakes!”
“Just a moment, just a moment. I mean, why would I… Lady Hwang Tae-son…”
Still glancing alternately at the tightly closed door of the reception room and the man urging her, Delina wore an embarrassed expression. Yet, she couldn’t just push the man aside and run away. It was due to the limitations of her ability, the Ability Limitation of a Commoner.
One ability limitation: if she performed an uncommon action, her ability would be unleashed.
Running away like this would release her ability, revealing her face to everyone in all directions. In the end, Delina let out a small sigh.
“…Alright, I’ll go right away.”
“Of course, you should. Now, quickly follow me.”
Being coerced like this, Delina reluctantly followed the man.
The corridor leading to Ashed’s room was quiet, with no servants around. Only the sound of Ashed’s footsteps resonated from afar.
“All today’s schedule is finished, Your Highness. Please go in and rest now.”
“Any other special matters?”
“As of now, there are no other particular matters… Oh, there is something about Prince Lunen.”
“What is it?”
At the advisor’s words, Ashed turned his head sharply. It was even more so because reporting about Damian was already a stated obligation.
“Recently, he went to a Rose Lip Marquis gathering with the Rune Princess, and there, he publicly proposed to her.”
“What?”
“Against whom?”
At the mention of the Rune Princess, Ashed’s expression changed rapidly. Although veins stood out on his forehead, Ashed, as if suppressing his emotions, took a deep breath.
“So, what happened after that? Did she accept, perhaps?”
“No. After that, Princess Floren left with the prince right away. So, I don’t know what happened afterward.”
“Left with him? What on earth…”
With a frustrated expression, Ashed muttered in response to an incomprehensible conclusion. Instead of entering the room, Ashed stood in the corridor and quickly asked.
“What the… What is the prince doing right now?”
“I heard he has an appointment. The partner is Lady Ulpirim.”
Ashed had already heard about Celine. However, Celine was not the focus for Ashed at the moment.
“And? Don’t tell me there were no other princesses? Nothing else? Perhaps meeting Princess Floren?”
“No, as far as I know, he only met Lady Ulpirim.”
The advisor, surprised by Ashed’s somewhat anxious reaction, widened his eyes, but he faithfully explained everything he knew. Then, as if thinking about something, Ashed raised his eyebrows and soon opened his mouth.
“Were there no other princes or princesses at the Marquis gathering, like Prince Damian or Princess Elfisha?”
“I heard there might have been.”
“…And they just stood still, watching that scene.”
“What?”
“Never mind. I’ll take a break now, so you can go.”
“Oh, I see.”
Although he made an indescribable expression in response to his master’s mumbling, the advisor opened the door promptly.
“Please rest comfortably. I will take my leave now.”
“…….”
“Your Highness? Why are you acting like this?”
However, Ashed, who glanced into the room, remained standing there without entering. The advisor looked into the room with a puzzled expression. At the same time, Ashed noticed a maid inside the room, bowing deeply with her head down.
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.
