As time passed, the Turington Beach became a mess with dark red seawater and monsters’ corpses piled up on the shore.
Of course, Imperialrella intervened and started collecting the monsters, but the unfamiliar Turington residents, who were not used to the existence of monsters, stood at a distance, looking anxiously in this direction.
However, instead of diminishing, the crowd grew even larger. Here, the spiritual leader and lord of the East, Dragonlord Melpius, and even the Emperor, who had only been heard of in Turington, kept drawing attention, keeping everyone focused.
“What on earth should we call this?”
Complaining that it made him jump out again while sleeping, Melpius took out a handkerchief from his pocket and alternately looked at Ru and the sea.
“Just don’t say anything, Lord.”
Hayden replied gruffly, taking the handkerchief and covering Ru’s nose again.
“It’s too big to pass over without saying anything, Your Majesty.”
Regardless of what Hayden said, Melpius examined Ru closely.
“I feel a great power for the first time in my life, and to think it happened right in front of my rare nose, it was surprising.”
Ru, not understanding the English, looked at Dragonlord and then glanced over the sea.
Hayden said nothing and fixed Ru’s face towards him again to check if the bleeding had stopped.
“A great power?”
At Ru’s question, Melpius nodded.
“Me?”
He nodded again.
“Not Emperor Kaleta?”
“I’ve felt that damn power before.”
Melpius replied indifferently and moved, stepping on the sand.
“Moving the sea is not something anyone can do, my dear. Moreover, doing it with the whole body bound.”
Ru tried to look at her body, but Hayden wiped her nose again, causing her to fail. What is this? Ru tried to take the handkerchief from his hand, but Hayden lifted the handkerchief much faster than her.
“The bleeding has stopped.”
“Then let’s go catch him!”
“Fine.”
“Why?”
Hayden finally sighed and spoke.
“I’m telling you because I don’t know who is standing with two feet now. So, don’t think about anything else and rest.”
At that moment, Melpius reached out towards the sea. The horribly turbulent monster corpses were all lifted up and piled up on one side of the beach. Due to the corpses drifting in the sea all the time, the ship won’t be able to sail.
“It’s better to listen to His Majesty. With innate abilities, it has already exceeded the limit today to suppress it.”
“No, I wasn’t saying I was going to catch it. I meant that Your Majesty should go, but…!”
It’s an amateurish move for a novice knight to try to seize the subject of writing a letter on the topic of trying to catch a poorly done body. Ru would never do such a reckless thing. So she looked extremely unfair.
“…Are you serious?”
However, Hayden looked at Ru with a highly suspicious expression.
“Have you been deceiving me? It’s a sincere heart filled with purity.”
As Ru gradually regained her composure, her tone returned to its original state, becoming polite as if addressing the Emperor. Hayden, watching Ru’s eyes narrow, spoke sharply.
“You talk quickly; it seems your sincerity is filled with lies.”
“No, well, it’s possible to go and watch… It’s possible!”
“It’s impossible, young one.”
Unexpectedly, the response came from Melpius, who was cleaning up the beach without finishing the conversation.
“Of course, it’s natural for a new sage to chase after a fallen predecessor, but you need to check the condition of the body first. The young one is not in a state to endure going and watching right now.”
“What…?”
Ru looked at Hayden with a face that asked, ‘What is he talking about?’
Chasing a fallen predecessor? It seems like that’s targeting her.
“Me?”
“New sage.”
Hayden answered with a single word and hugged her. Ru, with widened eyes, pointed at the sea where Delgau had escaped this time. What about that side?
“Fallen predecessor.”
Since Carlos is eventually the one ruling Delgau, it means Carlos is the fallen predecessor.
Looking at Melpius with eyes that clearly asked if it was true, Dragonlord grinned.
Actually, I knew it during the last ceremony, but now I can say it. Welcome to the sage council, young one.
He even blinked slightly.
Huh? Ru, whose eyes couldn’t get any bigger, now looked at Hayden.
“Let’s go and check your body first. Please follow, Dragonlord.”
In response to the Emperor’s calm words, Melpius sighed.
“Is this why you came all the way here, Your Majesty?”
“Of course.”
Dragonlord, who said he would take a nap after 430 years, sighed sadly again because it was noisy outside. The fault lies with his keen hearing.
“Well, let’s see after a break, young one.”
Casually bidding farewell to Ru, who was in tremendous shock, Melpius walked slowly towards the destroyed shipyard to repair it.
With each step he took, the two devastated roofs stuck together, and the lost rafters were filled. Ru, who was fascinated by the sight despite the shock, watched the process and was then sucked into the teleportation magic and disappeared from the beach.
[Star Icon]Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
