Monster No. 1’s helmsman, Regan Phenol, turned the squeaky Monster No. 1 toward the Turington Harbor.
Navigator Yeongam, who was next to him, kept shouting ‘Oh, Dragon Lords’ and ‘Oh, Gods,’ so it wasn’t much help.
Of course, in the middle, mixed with appropriate curses, like ‘Hey, wake up, idiot! Get the direction right! If you keep going like this, we’ll end up in Nerva, not Turington!’ But that’s all he said.
Anyway, he was driving the suspicious Monster No. 1, which seemed to move properly, back to Turington.
“I’m so happy! As soon as we get back, we have to go straight to the lab!”
Anita Tebbit, who designed and built Monster No. 1, was genuinely happy amid the piled-up monster corpses.
Even though he had gone through that living hell, it was clear that Regan Phenol was not in his right mind to be so happy. Seeing the signal flare go up, the navy rushed from Turington Harbor, deciding to follow each battleship filled with monster corpses.
About six injured people came out, but they were all surprised, slipping on the deck and getting hurt while avoiding monsters.
The rumor that wherever the emperor guards is safe has been proven true. Regan Phenol honestly thought it was quite something to have witnessed that great spectacle without fainting.
But it was scary to get closer to Anitta Tebbit, who was rummaging through monster corpses, or Youngae, the countess, who was staring into the air, creating elongated beams of light, making them disappear again, repeating the process.
“Is that so interesting?”
The sages use their power like this. Applying magic in this way.
With sparkling eyes, Lu, who had lost her mind rather than shone, created a long spear with a new magic taught by Hayden, then made a sword, made an arrow, and folded it again.
What she created wasn’t as delicate and smooth as what Hayden made, and it didn’t grow huge.
“Interesting…, Your Majesty, why are you like that?”
Looking back and answering, Lu was horrified to see Hayden still dripping with water.
In fact, as soon as she stepped on the deck, she used magic to dry the moisture thoroughly, but he just sat down next to her, still wet.
Completely soaked, his casual shirt stuck tightly to his chest muscles. Hayden, looking annoyed, took off his cloak and outerwear.
“I should dry myself.”
“It’s hot. I’ll wash off the salt when we arrive at the harbor.”
Hayden flicked his hair.
“But weren’t you completely dry even in the sea?”
It seemed like that was the case.
“No, I was already wet at that time.”
With a casual face, Hayden answered, unbuttoning more of his thoroughly wet shirt.
Lu tried to create a light spear with a faint greenish glow once again, then looked at Hayden again. He was almost to the point of taking off all the buttons.
Now, his well-defined, piece-by-piece carved abs were visible. It was a robust body filled with delicate yet masculine charm.
Lu reached out and buttoned his shirt again.
“Cover up.”
With a nonchalant voice, Hayden looked at her. She had a very indifferent face.
Being in the Knights where guys often walked around without their upper bodies, a man being undressed might not be that thrilling. No matter how developed the body is, it wouldn’t be that exciting. He had already seen enough of refined bodies.
But still, even so. Is he not charming at all? We’re close enough.
Hayden thought it was very important. He might be considered naive for his age, but, in fact, he acted very naively, especially when it came to Lu.
He would have fallen for her with just a few words and a smile that night, but anyway, Lu must have somewhat liked him that night!
“Was it because you were drunk?”
Hayden enjoyed Lu’s touch, even if it was just her unbuttoning his clothes. He was thrilled even with a slight touch, but his first love was indifferent.
“Your Majesty?”
What could be bothering him? His always bright and twinkling eyes, or his unchanging expressionless eyes whenever he looked at Lu.
‘Somehow, he seems to be in a bad mood.’
Yeah. Somehow, he looked chubby. Although the word “chubby” was too sophisticated and sharp for him, he seemed overly refined and sharp.
“Later, you should show it to me separately.”
Indeed, he was feeling bad. As soon as Lu said a word, Hayden, whose expression changed immediately, buttoned up his clothes again.
“Ah, right.”
“Yes. I don’t like showing mine to others.”
“Do you dislike it? Got it.”
He quickly buttoned up with a very neat gesture.
“Remember.”
“Yeah.”
It was cute to see him nodding his head vigorously. If an adult man, who is always described as elegant and robust, is said to be cute, everyone would look at Lu with an expression like, ‘Are you out of your mind?’ However, she didn’t doubt that Hayden was cute.
So what if he’s cute! What’s the big deal!
“Should I dry myself too?”
Hayden asked slyly.
“You said you’d wash it off with the saltwater.”
“I said it’s okay as long as you don’t expose everything.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes.”
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
