Melphius smiled and slightly bowed to the Emperor. The Emperor, in turn, nodded lightly and extended his hand.
“It’s a pleasure to see you again.”
In front of the Eastern nobles, Dragonlord and the Emperor lightly embraced, patting each other’s shoulders. Melphius, who had protected Perseta with his entire body and supported the Emperor to the throne, clearly demonstrated his courtesy to the Emperor.
“It happened unexpectedly, Your Majesty. What I mentioned before seems somewhat pale now.”
“I hope you didn’t sleep too long. I’d like to see you often, if possible.”
Melphius, who smiled slyly, knew very well what role he had to play. He turned and looked at Ru, who came with him. The gaze of the one who had protected the Persetan Empire and the one who would continue to do so simultaneously turned toward her.
“I greet the sun of the empire.”
It was an impeccable etiquette. Holding the rich hem of her dress and bowing deeply, Lady Flachet, inheriting the famous beauty of her parents, was incredibly beautiful.
When she began to bow, the Emperor approached, and before she could rise, he reached out and lifted her up. It was a bold move.
In an instant, the nobles were in an uproar. What disrespect to ignore such etiquette!
“You don’t need to bow to me, Young Ae.”
The firm voice cut through everything with just one word.
“Yes.”
Melphius also agreed with that statement, nodding his head.
How could even Dragonlord not follow the etiquette! People began to scrutinize Lady Flachet even more, wondering if there was something they didn’t know about her. They recalled the incident with the Turington Abyssal Sea monsters that happened just the day before yesterday.
“She has saved me countless times, so it’s not a big deal.”
“She will become the biggest pillar of Perseta in the future, Your Majesty.”
It was clear that they were referring to the monster incident! Ru felt a sense of being stabbed in the back due to the gazes that were already pressuring her.
“Infinite honor, Your Majesty. I simply wish to serve you well as your humble subject.”
So, please spare me. Desperately looking at them, Melphius and the Emperor smiled and dismissed her with a cheerful face.
“What a desirable attitude, Your Majesty. You must be proud.”
“Proud and more. Bringing only good news and playing a significant role, how could one dislike that?”
They didn’t reveal that Ru was the Southern Sage here. It was something to be disclosed not here, but in a formal setting when Ru was ready. However, in any case, Ru, being the Sage, should be treated with proper respect.
Suddenly, for whatever reason the Emperor and Dragonlord had for treating her like this, those who were politically sensitive and agile thinkers might find it strange.
Others would remain oblivious. Continuously sieving out such foolish individuals, the Emperor planned to slowly control the East.
The Emperor instructed to start the banquet without saying more, and people became absorbed in the excellent music and the provided feast.
“How did the chef make the fish so fragrant? Hey, have you ever tried this fish dish? I want to give the recipe to our chef.”
The dishes tasted different, providing a unique flavor despite their familiar appearance. The attitudes of the courtiers and maids were impeccable. The Eastern nobles were vaguely realizing that this was a new social circle hosted by the Emperor.
“Isn’t this, isn’t this Ortepi! Serving such expensive food for dinner?”
Mysterious spices and ingredients were generously presented, and Turington White Grape Wine was incessantly poured into glass goblets.
“Dragonlord has appeared at a banquet after a long time. It seems he dislikes anything less than this level of gathering.”
A bone-chilling comment was heard. Even if the nobles invited him, Dragonlord Melphius, who used to refuse any gathering, chose to reveal himself for the first time at a banquet hosted by the Emperor. The nobles either tightly sealed their lips or grimaced at the fact that only the Emperor acknowledged it.
The Emperor and Dragonlord, along with those responsible for the central affairs among the Eastern nobles, were sitting together and discussing various issues.
Ru, as the Southern Sage, had to sit there for the sake of learning. She didn’t know anyone there, and it was an uncomfortable situation.
“I didn’t expect to meet like this again.”
Well, there was one person she knew. Cedric Lambert, who buttoned up his coat tightly and dressed neatly despite shaving his head, looked at Ru.
“Yeah. Hello.”
Ru looked up at him and said in a blunt manner. She didn’t have anything specific to say to him. Cedric, who had to attend this place as the new heir of Duke Alanka, was somewhat glad to see Ru, a familiar face.
“Not having fun?”
“I didn’t come here for fun.”
“Maybe just you. It seems both the Emperor and Dragonlord came for fun.”
Hayden was also smiling, and Melphius was also smiling. However, the content of their conversation was undoubtedly sharp and fierce.
“Aren’t you tired?”
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.]
