“Perfect, perfect!”
Delina exclaimed as she turned the last page of the paper. She had finally succeeded in memorizing the vast and complex internal structure of the Duke’s house. There were many dangers she had to face to achieve today’s triumph.
‘Really, I wonder if I could fly in the garden…….’
If it weren’t for Betty, she wouldn’t have been able to walk on her own two feet. Thinking of Betty, who had insisted that it was good to get used to it by touching every device, Delina secretly swallowed her tears.
‘But there’s no mention of the secret passage.’
Though she looked through the last chapter of the book, it didn’t contain any information about the secret passage she had taken down. But she was convinced. There must be more secretive passages in this mansion, known only to Bellion and his closest associates.
‘And I took it down and went right into the bedroom.’
Thinking back, it still gave Delina chills, and she shivered. Soon, she stood up, looked at the cord, and walked to the door.
I have to go out alone today.
She couldn’t rely on Betty to wander around the mansion forever. Delina pondered where to go, then thought of Callis.
Come to think of it, Callis lives here too.
Although other children had their own houses, Callis lived here. But while roaming the mansion with Betty, she hadn’t seen Callis even once. It was a strange thing in itself.
Like it or not, I have to be close to him…….
She had a duty to watch over those five before they completely ruined the empire. Delina remembered the structure of the way to Callis’s room and forcefully opened the door.
“……!”
It immediately shot upward powerfully.
“What? A net?”
What had lifted her into the air was a net. Delina, now hanging in the net, twisted her body in confusion.
…I didn’t see this device?
Of course, her question was answered quickly. She spotted familiar red hair coming from below the net.
“…….”
“Ah, hello? Vincent…… right?”
Delina awkwardly smiled and greeted Vincent, but he just stared at her intently.
“This is your doing, right?”
“…….”
“Could you untie me, please?”
She tried to smile as she spoke, but Vincent just crossed his arms and continued to stare at her, then muttered.
“You’re really weird.”
“Huh?”
“Caught in an obvious trap that a wild boar would fall into, and you expect me to fall for it?”
“…….”
She was angry but had no response. Vincent’s eyes still looked puzzled.
“What did you do to me on the test day?”
“Uh, what?”
Delina’s eyes quivered at Vincent’s mention of the ‘test.’
“It’s as strange as not remembering it.”
“…….”
“This annoying experience is the first of its kind, and it’s irritating.”
You should keep that unpleasant experience as it is.
Thinking back to the disaster of that day, Delina closed her eyes tightly as if she could not speak even if she died.
“You’re a clown, right? So I know you did something strange to me.”
“…….”
“But I don’t know why my knee hurts.”
‘That’s because you guys were crawling around on all fours.’
“And my teeth were aching.”
‘That’s because you bit the stick and asked me to throw it…….’
Suddenly, Delina didn’t know why the net felt so cozy and warm. She opened her mouth with effort.
“Maybe your smart brain wants to rest sometimes? It must be hard for the brain to remember everything.”
“I remember everything.”
“……Ah, I see. But I still can’t tell you. It’s a family secret.”
And not remembering would be much better for your brain?
Delina swallowed her last words. Vincent looked at her quietly for a moment, then opened his mouth.
“Yeah, I didn’t expect anything anyway.”
“……Wait a minute, you’re not going to untie this?”
“If you won’t talk, why should I untie you?”
What kind of logic is that?
It seemed sincere, but Bancent slowly tried to turn his back. There weren’t many servants or people in the mansion, so he might have been hanging around all day. Delina desperately opened the window and found the keyword.
‘Come on, come on, please…….’
As Delina chose the keyword, it floated above Bancent’s head and then soon disappeared. Bancent’s face, turning back to Delina, was surprisingly relaxed. Delina’s face also brightened.
“Don’t you know! If you release this for me…….”
“I’ll explain why I’m not releasing you.”
“What?”
“Firstly, since I don’t know anything about your power yet, I want to see if you can release this or not. Secondly, I became curious about what this broad technique is, so for an experiment. Thirdly, since you haven’t been here long…….”
No, don’t kindly explain why you can’t release me!
What the heck, nothing about the ability was right. At this rate, he seemed ready to list 100 reasons why he couldn’t release me, so in the end, Delina released the ability again. Then Bancent looked up at Delina with a strange expression as if he had regained his senses.
“……What was that just now? Why did I explain everything to you?”
“Huh?”
“Is this what you called a family secret?”
Do you remember?
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.
