“Then try showing it to him.”
“…”
“Since he gave it to you, there’s a chance he might remember. He seems quite confused even now, so giving him a stronger shock might be a good idea.”
‘Right, maybe…’
Following Bancent’s advice, it seemed like the opportunity was when Ashed was most confused.
While Delina was talking to Bancent with the necklace in hand, Ashed was restrained by Zen and Calyx. Ashed, whose mind was in a confused state, found it challenging to confront Zen and Calyx. Delina left Noah’s embrace and approached Ashed slowly.
“Calyx, Zen. Hold him tight.”
Upon Delina’s words, Calyx and Zen each grabbed one of Ashed’s arms. Ashed resisted.
“Are you not letting go? Right now…!”
“Hwaitaeson, I mean, Ashed.”
Delina came close to Ashed. When Delina called his name, Ashed’s shoulders trembled.
“Do you happen to remember this? What is this necklace?”
Delina showed the necklace on her palm to Ashed. Seeing the necklace, Ashed mumbled.
“Helium Royal Necklace…”
“That’s right. You gave this to me a while ago. Do you remember?”
Carefully observing Ashed’s reaction, Delina asked. In response, Ashed let out a bitter laugh.
“So what? What does that have to do with anything?”
“…”
“Are you going to be all sentimental now, just because of this necklace? If that’s the case, you’d better stop. Whether you like it or not, you guys dying here won’t change a thing…!”
However, Ashed’s harsh words didn’t reach their conclusion. Delina swung the necklace’s chain, striking Ashed on the forehead. The eyes of the other four widened as they watched.
“…What did you just do?”
Bancent asked in astonishment.
“Even after looking at the necklace, he doesn’t seem any different. And you said to give him a strong shock, so I tried giving him a strong physical one.”
“…”
“Given the urgency of the situation, I didn’t realize… I mean, didn’t control my strength.”
Looking bewildered, Bancent stared at Delina, who hastily made excuses.
“Well, even considering that, Ashed isn’t showing any reaction with his head bowed. Everyone’s attention was on Ashed, who raised his head.
“Have you lost your mind?”
He said, with an expression of considerable anger.
“Dare you hit the head of a noble? You should be dragged away for insulting the nobility immediately, right?”
“Such rude language and attitude, could it be…?”
“Who are you calling rude?”
In response to Delina’s surprised murmur, Ashed burst into anger. Though Ashed’s actions and words seemed unchanged, those who had observed him up close could tell.
He had returned to his original self. When Delina raised her head, there was nothing visible above Ashed’s head.
“Aren’t you going to release this now?”
Only then did Calyx and Zen step away from Ashed. Ashed, still feeling pain on his scalp, scowled, stroking his head, then looked at Delina.
“Well, thanks to you, I came to my senses. Anyway, this time, I’ll let it slide. Got it?”
“Ashed!”
“Well, well.”
Seeing Ashed finally returning, Delina joyfully exclaimed. However, Ashed, looking gloomy, turned his gaze. Delina looked around with a bright face. Before she knew it, there were five children gathered.
‘Everyone, everyone… You’ve all come back.’
Looking into the eyes of the five pairs, Delina clenched her fist, suppressing the overwhelming emotions. At that moment, Bancent spoke up.
“Well…, there’s probably a lot we want to say to each other, but let’s handle urgent matters first.”
At Bancent’s words, the expressions of the others stiffened. They, too, were aware of the current situation.
The confrontation between the Rune Royal Family and the Ulpium Duchy.
“Yeah, right. That’s true. We need to hurry! The royal army is heading towards the duchy’s border to attack…! Ashed, how is that possible?”
Delina, growing more desperate as she spoke, asked Ashed. Ashed narrowed his eyes.
“I ordered it, so naturally, I have to withdraw the order, but time is too tight.”
While Delina and the five others spent time here, the royal army would have almost reached the border. Delina’s face quickly darkened. That’s when it happened.
“…!”
Rustling through the bushes, Celine revealed herself.
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.
