“Hiccup!”
The king of the Louise Kingdom, Liam, had a day like any other today. Liam, who had been petting his belly, which he called his servant, while heavily drunk, shook an empty liquor bottle and shouted.
“Is anyone here?”
However, despite Liam’s shout, the outside was silent. Liam pulled the rope, but still, no one came. Frowning, Liam stood up.
“What’s going on? Can’t anyone hear me calling?”
Liam shouted with a slam of the door, but the corridor remained as quiet as a mouse. Not even a servant was seen in the corridor, let alone a single lantern. Into complete darkness, Liam, bewildered, shouted again.
“Knights!”
Still, there was no sound. Finally realizing that something was strange, Liam, hesitatingly, tried to step back, but even that became impossible.
“Where are you going in such a hurry?”
“!”
Two figures emerged through the darkness, approaching Liam from both sides. As they came into view, Liam, greatly surprised, shouted.
“Who, who are you!”
“You might find out who we are if you enter the room now.”
The cheerful voice of the man who invaded in the middle of the night was refreshing. Seeing Liam trembling in fear, the man spoke again.
“Oh, don’t worry about the knights. We just put them to sleep.”
“Yes, you…!”
“Rather than worrying about the knights, you should be more concerned about yourself.”
As the man spoke, the woman standing beside him pushed Liam forcefully into the room. Liam, struggling against the strong force, staggered inside, and simultaneously, the door slammed shut.
“What are you… What are you doing! Open this door immediately!”
Liam shouted while banging on the door. However, the door didn’t budge. Then, a voice was heard inside the room.
“King Liam.”
“…!”
At the chilling voice, Liam instinctively shuddered, and his face quickly stiffened.
“…”
When Liam slowly turned his head, a man sitting in the middle of the sofa came into view. The flickering candlelight on the table illuminated the man’s face. Seeing the different-colored eyes, Liam instantly knew who he was. With a trembling voice, Liam asked.
“D-Duke Ulfilim…!”
He wasn’t wearing the attire of a duke, nor was he wearing a mask.
However, just by glimpsing at Ulfilim’s eyes of different colors, Liam could instantly tell who he was. Liam, realizing that the person inside the room was none other than Ulfilim, felt his throat go dry.
“Ulfilim, Duke…!”
Ulfilim, with silver hair shining in the moonlight, was not in the attire of a duke, nor was he wearing a mask.
However, upon seeing Ulfilim’s eyes of different colors, Liam could instantly discern his identity. Liam, his voice quivering, inquired.
“D-Duke Ulfilim is here…?”
Upon realizing that the person inside the room was none other than Ulfilim, Liam noticed that there was another person present. Spotting Noah revealed behind Belion, Liam’s eyes widened.
“You…!”
Liam, in a perfect noble attire, looked alternately confused at Belion and Noah. Then, Noah approached Liam with a smile.
“There’s something you should know even more than that now.”
“What…?”
“Your daughter did something quite outrageous.”
Noah handed Liam an engagement letter. Liam’s eyes widened as he confirmed the contents and names in the engagement letter.
“What is this…? Are they saying they’re getting married?”
“No, that’s not it at all. But, shouldn’t you pay for what your daughter did, writing up documents like this and meddling with my partner?”
“Partner…?”
Only then did Liam remember the previous night when Roji had come to his room and complained. And not only that, he had hired mercenaries at his daughter’s request. Liam then awkwardly laughed.
“What am I saying again? You should be better off choosing my daughter over some insignificant common girl, right? That’s more… Ah!”
Liam couldn’t finish his sentence and screamed. It was because Belion had drawn his sword and approached menacingly. Terrified, Liam shouted, and Belion’s mouth opened.
“I’ll warn you for the last time.”
“…”
“If you lay a hand on that girl one more time, you’ll lose your head.”
As if proving that his words were not false, Belion’s sword glowed sharply. With a face full of fear, Liam quickly nodded his head.
“Al… Alright. Just like that. Whatever.”
As Belion finished speaking, Noah, as if waiting, pulled out other documents from his bosom.
“Considering the things your daughter and you have done, it seems your family has been quite busy.”
“…”
“Not to mention issues with women, embezzlement of state-owned treasures, using them for gambling… And, having your seal taken away, the Ulfilim Ducal House.”
“H-How do you even know about that…?”
That matter was truly an extremely confidential one, known only to a very small number of people besides Belion and Liam. However, when Noah casually spoke about it, Liam’s face turned pale.
“Well, you don’t need to know about that… Anyway, my advice is the same.”
“…”
“Don’t do such things again, and it’ll be good for your health. Otherwise, we won’t leave your affairs alone in the name of Diamon.”
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…
