일라이자 바르코바 and servant 마틴. The Emperor of 페르세타 had already completed the investigation on them. It was not surprising.
No fool would open the door wide without thoroughly investigating the people of a hostile country coming in.
“The escorts attached to the retired knight who once left 칼레타 are excessively harsh. It’s confusing whether they’re escorts or monitors.”
“That remark is excessive, even if this is an informal setting.”
루 stopped and looked up at the Emperor.
“It’s an undeniable fact.”
He was staring straight at her. She was fully reflected in his transparent grey eyes.
“Isn’t that something the Gennes company knows very well?”
But she, being a representative of 칼레타, wouldn’t admit it. She knew. 헤이든 was merely pointing out the fact.
루 was also exposing once again the contradictions of 칼레타 and the suspicious circumstances surrounding her that she had felt long ago. It was also a very serious threat to her. It irritated her. It irritated her greatly.
“If you start suspecting people close to you, you feel the threat of death wherever you go. In fact, I am more afraid to come out of the company building.”
From her experience in the bank, it was fortunate that the people from 칼레타’s company didn’t get rocks thrown at them by 페르세타’s people.
So 루, who went around regularly escorted, intended to be even more cautious in the future. Once it was known that she was a representative of the 칼레타 Empire, she would be threatened several times a day.
“Within the empire, I will guarantee the safety of the company. However, the 칼레타 company building is 칼레타 territory, albeit temporary, so I cannot intervene in what happens there.”
In other words, if 루 gets abused by the company people within the building, the Emperor of 페르세타 cannot interfere.
“You are stating the obvious.”
“It means to come out when something happens inside.”
He spoke as if it was a given sequence that something inside was happening, something threatening Lou.
“Usually, when something happens inside, it’s just as dangerous to go outside.”
“I’ll believe it when it happens. But I want to take precautions before it happens.”
If Emperor Kaleta’s every action was filled with dignity, Emperor Perseta laughed and acted inscrutably.
“I hope to see you often.”
Lou’s gaze, not knowing what the secret was, followed.
People from Kaleta origin mostly don’t know much, or pretended not to know the truth. Those who have been brainwashed for a long time are all like that.
Hayden hoped that Rustica Gennes would not do so. He is cautiously and skillfully touching a little bit while circling around.
Ah, of course, his wish also included becoming deeply involved privately.
Please be more curious, pay more attention. Find the truth even if it’s annoying.
“The fact that I often see His Majesty means that many problems arise.”
“Perseta is a country where social gatherings are important. Not meeting means more problems.”
The emperor’s gray eyes beautifully folded. Who would refuse when he approached with a smile like that? There would be many who would give him their liver and gallbladder.
Carlos is handsome, too, but if he changed his atmosphere like that instead of frowning every day, wouldn’t more loyal people increase? No, he will flip out first, considering it a lowering of the emperor’s authority.
“Many invitations will be sent to the ambassador.”
Many will be sent. As if.
“Not a single one will come.”
“I’ll send it.”
The words telling him not to send it came to the tip of Lou’s tongue, but she managed not to say them.
“Thank you.”
“You’ll be busy adapting for a while. Shalea is a lively city, so it has many places to explore and is vibrant.”
Emperor Perseta casually walked around Shalea. His lovely lips curled slightly.
“I hope it suits the ambassador’s heart, Genus. Sincerely.”
“An ambassador likes or dislikes the place where he is sent…….”
“No, not that. I mean, I hope it’s a place where you want to live forever, you know.”
Haha, the emperor laughed out loud while looking straight at her. He grabbed her, who kept dodging and avoiding, and stared at her in front of him.
“Your Majesty, is it your hobby to recommend defection to a diplomat of an enemy country?”
He threw a straight ball, and he laughed brightly again, his eyes widening.
“I decided to take it as a new hobby from today.”
Anya? Aya? Lou wanted to kick this thick and strong thigh just once. Her foot would break, though.
“If you make such a proposal without convincing conditions or reasons, I have no choice but to refuse.”
“I think the ambassador Genus will realize the reason herself.”
Rustica Gennes is in Perseta, so Emperor Perseta can have her life on a leash.
“I have pride too, to defect for my insignificant life, Your Majesty.”
It’s a sunny day. Emperor Perseta was a man who shone enough with just the sunlight.
In that beautiful scene, Lou suddenly felt a creepy intimidation. The giant man looked down at her and asked.
“Do I have to take care of Ambassador Genus’ pride as well?”
It was a question asking if he, who could crush her with just a flick of his finger, had to take care of such a trivial and insignificant thing.
The face that had held fear and presence was suddenly suffocated in a flash.
When male lead is the homewrecker
“I know she doesn’t love him.”
I’ve read the novel below twice already. Girls, I’m highly recommending it to you!
The female lead? Not a good person.
The second male lead? Not a good person.
The male lead? Willingly plays the third party, breaking up the female and second male lead’s relationship despite all the warnings from his friends—so yeah, he’s definitely not a good person either.
Basically, nobody in this novel is simple-minded or without scheming.
The female lead starts off as the male lead’s secretary, but don’t worry—later on, she takes over the company while the male lead steps back to support her. He won’t steal her spotlight, overshadow her, or dull her shine.
I love novels where men are out here snatching wigs, tearing each other down, and going to war just to win the female lead’s affection. And this is exactly that kind of novel. Most of Hai Dai Ran’s works have this dynamic. You’ll see the male characters’ emotions being pushed to the absolute extreme.
There’s even a scene where the second male lead exposes the male lead online for being a homewrecker. The brotherhood immediately gangs up on him, dragging him through the mud. I find it compelling —it completely flips reality on its head, where usually, women are the ones fighting over a man and getting torn apart by the sisterhood.
For me, female leads in the novels I read should only struggle in their careers, not in love. But if the brainless romantics in the story are all men? I have zero complaints.
I’ve pretty much read all of Hai Dai Ran’s novels and even translated all of them—her works are just my thing. I’ll slowly upload everything here. One day, when my website is official, I hope I can invite her to join as one of the star authors.
Here’s the story synopsis:
One-line summary: She is his lifelong obsession, to the point where he was willing to be a third wheel, scorned by society, just to wedge his way into her relationship with her fiancé.
Cold-hearted and indifferent female lead + Scheming and subservient CEO male lead
Intro 1:
“I know she doesn’t love him.”
With blood trickling from his clenched fist, Rong Xiu gazed at the woman before him, his eyes clouded with anguish. Hidden in the wardrobe, he had witnessed Fan Xia – the woman he desperately loved – in an intimate embrace with her fiancé. Yet his heart still yearned for her, defying all reason.
Fan Xia, the elegant and composed assistant, carried something mysterious in her eyes whenever she looked at her fiancé, Wen Lan Sheng. Strange occurrences began to surface – secret meetings with the young Gu Jin Yi, an unexplained withdrawal of 5,000 yuan… Then suddenly, her fiancé’s sister, Wen Jing, violently attacked her.
In this matriarchal society, Rong Xiu had risen to become the chairman of a powerful healthcare conglomerate, breaking through gender prejudices. But for the first time, he willingly stepped into the shadows as the other man, disregarding his friends’ warnings to become her secret lover.
Because he had discovered the truth – Fan Xia wasn’t the pure angel everyone believed her to be. And perhaps, he was the only one capable of helping her execute her mysterious plan…
Intro 2:
Rong Xiu’s biggest regret in life was missing out on Fan Xia.
He secretly loved Fan Xia for 7 years.
Watched her go public with her boyfriend.
Watched her kiss her boyfriend at their wedding.
Until that man blissfully nestled in Fan Xia’s arms, obtaining everything he could only dream of.
The crazy jealousy stripped away his hidden secret love, layer by layer, burning like wildfire.
Fan Xia, how can I have you!
