“I’m always doing well. Loarkin’s food is delicious, and the scenery is beautiful, atchoo!”
While speaking well, a sneeze suddenly popped out. Canis opened his eyes wide and asked.
“Have you caught a cold?”
“No, it’s just a bit cold, atchoo! I get cold easily, atchoo atchoo atchoo!”
Three consecutive powerful sneezes. It seemed to be because I had just left the temperaturecontrolled pergola and suddenly went to a cold place.
Canis spoke with a worried voice.
“It seems Loarkin’s cold climate doesn’t suit you, Miss Shuria.”
“It’s okay. Humans are adaptive creatures. I’ll get used to it soon. Atchoo!”
I confidently assured, but perhaps because of the sneeze at the end, the persuasive power fell, and Canis’s stern face did not loosen.
“But you look very tired now, how about a way……. Ah, should I give you this? It will help.”
Canis fumbled around his neck and untied a necklace to hand over. It was a pretty necklace with a roughshaped red gem attached to a leather string.
I carefully took the necklace, admiring it as I looked it over.
“Wow, it’s beautiful. The gem is unique.”
“It’s a necklace with a temperature control spell. The lord gave it to me when he saw that I was not adapting well to Loarkin’s climate…….”
……The lord gave it? So it’s a gift?
There are things that can be gifted and things that can’t!
I quickly handed the necklace back to Canis.
“Thank you for your consideration, Sir Canis. But I can’t accept something the lord has given.”
However, Canis did not take the necklace back. He said firmly.
“I no longer need it. So it’s time for it to go to its next owner. The lord will also want the necklace to continue to help someone.”
“But.”
“It’s really okay, don’t worry. Come, let me put it on you. Excuse me for a moment…….”
Saying so, Canis bent down and met my eyes. My mouth, about to utter another refusal, clamped shut at the sight of those kind eyes.
Taking advantage of my stiffness, Canis carefully put the necklace on me. His large hand was delicate and polite, even adjusting the length of the string for comfort.
Having accomplished what he set out to do, Canis smiled proudly. A clear and pure smile, without a single speck of dust.
I thought blankly.
‘He’s really handsome…….’
And kind as well. It was no wonder he was quite popular among readers despite having fewer lines than Asphayren.
He was truly a typical ‘sunny, cheerful knight character.’
Unaware of what I was thinking, our sunny boy…… no, Canis, was rubbing the back of my neck, explaining about the necklace.
“It’s a method of charging and using magic. By storing magic in the necklace like this, the formula entered here activates, maintaining the body at an optimal temperature.”
As Kanis infused the magic, a faint light gleamed in the jewel. The body, which had been shivering with cold, quickly warmed up.
“Ah! It’s just perfectly warm now.”
“I was worried because the magic formula hasn’t been activated for a long time, but I’m relieved it’s working properly. I’ll recharge it when the magic runs out. So come see me anytime.”
I stopped inspecting the necklace and looked up at Kanis.
He spoke in a gentle voice.
“I wish only happiness and joy filled the path that Miss Shuria will walk in the future. Enough to shake off all the sad and difficult memories.”
Kanis’s face was slightly flushed as he finished speaking. He messed up my bangs and chuckled.
“Actually, I wanted to tell you this when Miss Shuria first became part of this Velroy Castle, but it’s too late now.”
Kanis, who spoke thus, was overflowing with shyness and affection for me.
If it had been someone other than me in this place, they might have mistaken that he had fallen for them.
But I am a possessor who has read the story of this world until it’s worn out. I could quickly realize what the source of his favor was.
At the very bottom of those gentle eyes, it was empathy.
As described in , Kanis was not from Elos but from Elbas.
So, in other words, Kanis also had the experience of being sacrificed to Beltrawm, just like me.
I remember the worry that Kanis briefly showed every time he looked at me.
I didn’t know why he did it at the time, but now I knew.
Perhaps, ever since he heard my story, he had been worrying about how my heart, sacrificed by my neighbors, was doing, whether I was deeply wounded.
Because he had experienced a similar thing himself. Because he knew how painful people’s betrayal could stab the heart.
So, he was willingly reaching out first to share the warmth.
He really was a good person.
“Thank you so much.”
So, instead of being burdened, I decided to gratefully accept his favor.
“I’ll treasure it. And if I ever meet someone who needs this necklace more than me, I will pass it on then. Just like Lord Kanis did.”
“Yes. Then I would be really happy.”
We looked at each other and smiled. Somehow, I felt like I had become good friends with him.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
