Hyr’s funeral was held in a simple manner. Grace and Ashed decided not to have a grand ceremony, considering the various situations they had to handle due to the war with the Lunan Empire. Of course, no one felt uneasy or opposed to their decision.
“It’s regrettable that it turned out like this.”
Meanwhile, there were those returning to the Lunan Empire. They were none other than Damian and Mayrin.
“It’s really regrettable, isn’t it?”
“Yes. The promise to introduce a Helium Empire lady was not an empty word.”
People were busy preparing to leave. Delina looked at the bustling crowd and asked in a low voice.
“But is it really okay for you to leave? Even if it’s to inherit the throne…”
After Decar’s death, the Lunan Empire was in great turmoil.
It was the death of the emperor. Even though he was an accident, without the emperor, another war could break out. However, the Helium Empire did not provoke another war or conflict. Instead, they expressed condolences to the Lunan Empire and conveyed their intention to establish friendly relations.
After Decar’s death, the people of the Lunan Empire crowned Damian, the sole prince, as the emperor. Damian accepted and returned to the Lunan Empire. Still, Delina’s face remained worried.
“But still, we used to be people who monitored the prince under Emperor Decar. If it were me, I might feel uneasy about not being with you.”
“It’s okay. I told you. As long as that person is not there, anywhere is fine. I don’t care about anything as long as I don’t have to meet that person.”
Contrary to Delina’s concerns, Damian seemed indifferent. He even appeared somewhat relaxed.
“And because of that person, I’ve been buried. I have that kind of personality, too.”
“Huh?”
“I’m starting to get curious. How interesting it will be when I become emperor and those faces change like Emperor Decar’s.”
As Damian spoke like that and chuckled, Delina reflexively moved her body back.
“Why?”
“…Well, I’m relieved that families are families after all. Surely their behavior won’t change to be like Emperor Decar, right?”
“I don’t like that.”
“It’s really fortunate, then.”
While Damian and Delina were having a conversation, Mayrin, Eily, and Gideon, who were chatting a bit away, approached as if finishing their conversation.
“Is the conversation over, brother?”
“Yeah, it’s time to go now.”
Mayrin held a book in her hand. Seeing that, Damian asked.
“What’s that?”
“Oh, right. It’s a book that Eily insisted I read.”
At Mayrin’s words, curious, Delina looked at the book Mayrin was holding. To her surprise, the titles of various books emitted a pinkish atmosphere, making Delina shake her head. Meanwhile, Eily and Mayrin bid farewell with a regretful expression.
“I’m very sorry that you have to leave so soon, Your Highness. If we had more time, we could have shared more stories.”
“That’s true. If there’s a chance to meet again, we can talk more then. By that time, it will be the three of us, including Delina.”
Mayrin and Eily seemed to have become close in a short period. While the two bid a regretful farewell, Gideon also greeted Damian.
“Please take care on your way back.”
“Yes.”
Gideon, who learned later that Damian had reluctantly courted Delina, felt reassured multiple times, confirming that the foresight of the Lunan prince was not skewed.
“Delina, I hope to see you again someday.”
“Yes, me too. Please take care.”
Delina, smiling at Mayrin, asked her afterward.
“Have you finished saying goodbye to others?”
“Yes. Anyway, there aren’t many people I need to say goodbye to.”
“Even Hwang Taesun?”
At Ashed’s mention, Mayrin’s cheeks turned red.
“Oh, yes. I already greeted him a while ago. He said he had something to do and wanted to say goodbye in advance.”
“I see.”
As Mayrin shyly spoke, Eily, who was behind her, chuckled. As the departure was announced by a knight approaching, both Damian and Mayrin made their final farewells.
“I’ll be going now.”
“I’ll go too.”
“Yes. Go, both of you.”
Delina, Gideon, and Eily bid farewell to Damian and Mayrin as they moved away. Watching the carriage slowly recede, Gideon asked Eily.
“Why on earth are you recommending such inappropriate books to the Lunan Empire princess?”
“Inappropriate books? They’re novels that make your blood boil and come to life! Princess Hwang said she hadn’t read anything like that before, so I recommended a few for beginners. I told her it would be helpful later on.”
“Helpful? Where?”
“There. Especially effective in appealing to a favorite gentleman.”
Eily spoke proudly with a smile, making Gideon raise his eyebrows in disbelief. Watching Delina and Gideon, who were bidding farewell, Eily asked.
“But why were they together?”
“…Huh?”
“You might have met the princess, but why did my brother come to the palace? Lately, he’s been busy with the tasks of being a viscount.”
With a puzzled expression, Delina asked the two. Quickly exchanging glances, Eily and Gideon seemed to come to a decision. Then Eily, as if determined, tightly held Delina’s hand and said boldly.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
