‘I died. I died.’
Fortunately, there was a keyword cancellation in the ability, otherwise, he would have continued to see that horrible sight.
While Delina was sweating profusely, Felik couldn’t stop laughing, and Duke Bellion was just staring at Delina.
Of course, as soon as she cancelled the keyword, Delina rushed back to the prison in case someone was following her. She didn’t forget to lock the prison door meticulously.
Do you remember that?
If the memory of becoming a dog remained, he had booked about four assassins for himself. Of course, he never even dreamed of going to those four and asking, “Do you remember being a dog?”
But now that he knew how to use the keyword…
In front of the prospective masterminds, adding the desired keyword would grant attributes according to that keyword. A keyword could be used once a day per person, but that was enough.
He didn’t even know if he would see those faces again, let alone get closer.
In the thought that it had moved further away due to the large dogman incident of shock and horror, Delina was in despair. And at that moment, a sound from outside was heard.
“……!”
Delina abruptly rose up. It was Felik who appeared. With a tense look, he reassured Delina, who was very anxious.
“It’s me, Miss.”
“……”
“Don’t worry. I came alone.”
“What about the others?”
“They all went back. They don’t seem to remember the situation properly. They were all dazed… But since His Highness said the test was over, they all went back without much protest. I don’t know what happened after that.”
That’s it!
Delina was relieved that the four didn’t remember the situation properly. But Felik still had a face that seemed to die laughing.
“Ah. Miss. So how did you really do that?”
“……I told you. It’s a family secret passed down through generations…”
“It’s totally unexpected that the Countess of Floren did such a thing. Anyway, thanks to you, Miss, I think I’ve laughed a month’s worth. I really laughed so much that His Highness stepped on me earlier.”
Felik spoke cheerfully that he had been stepped on. Soon he opened the prison door and gestured.
“Come, Miss. Let’s go.”
“Where to?”
“Where? You must now go to the room assigned to you. Not a prison.”
At these words, Delina’s face slowly brightened.
“So…… really……”
“Yes. You passed the test as promised. Now you will be sponsored by the Duke of Ulpirim.”
Hooray!
Delina almost shouted hooray unconsciously. But she just grinned, noticing Felik’s eyes. In the meantime, Felik continued talking as he walked with Delina.
“His Highness must have been impressed by your talent to turn people into dogs.”
“What, so impressed……”
“It’s a secret, but actually, I can turn people into dogs too.”
“Really?”
“Yes. When people drink with me, they all turn out that way.”
Let’s just stop talking.
As Delina frowned, Felik chuckled as if amused.
“And please speak comfortably. We’re going to live together now.”
“Ah, yes.”
“By the way, Miss, your official sponsorship name is ‘Clown.'”
“……Huh?”
“In other words, you will be sponsored as the Duke’s Clown.”
Clown, clown…….
“……Do others have sponsorship names like that?”
“No. You’re unique. It’s really special, isn’t it?”
So special that she was on the verge of tears. She wished not to be called by that name anywhere.
“Clown.”
And to Delina’s dismay, someone called her Clown from afar. It was Duke Bellion.
“Where are you going?”
“I was showing the lady to her room. She’s the one who will be sponsored now.”
Felik looked down at Delina and smiled brightly.
“By the way, Miss, you can request something from His Highness as a first sponsorship celebration. Now you can say anything you want.”
“No. I don’t need anything in particular.”
“How about a birthday gift? I saw that you had a birthday recently. You wanted a puppy, right?”
It seems that the investigation into buying a puppy from Count Floren’s house had been completed. However, Delina spoke with disdain.
“No. I don’t need it. I’ve become disgusted with dogs, or anything like a dog.”
“I’ve thought of something.”
“……Yes?”
“A gift.”
Suddenly, Duke Bellion, who had been standing beside Delina as if pondering something, turned and began to walk away. Then Felik urged Delina.
“Come on, Miss. Hurry up and follow. His Highness seems to be going to give you a gift.”
“No. I really don’t need it?”
“Don’t worry. The gifts His Highness gives are never ordinary. You will surely like it too.”
……Really?
She was still suspicious of Felik’s words, but Delina had no choice at the moment. Eventually, she let out a small sigh and began to follow Duke Bellion.
Well, if it’s just a gift, it’s a good thing anyway…….
Though anxious, Delina was honestly wondering how much stranger it could get from here. Striving to think positively, she hastened her steps so as not to lose sight of Bellion.
(This is a time divider.)
“……So, this is my gift?”
“Yes.”
Why do ominous premonitions always come true?
“Growl…….”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
