Seeing that they were dressed alike, they must be sisters. Too cute and adorable, but as children, Lady Gronby naturally had no choice but to ignore them.
“Oh my, that’s something adults take care of.”
Of course, to Riga’s eyes, Lady Gronby and those young sisters looked equally young.
“When my mom and dad find out, they definitely said not to do this…!”
The child immediately took her younger sister’s hand and chattered, but Lady Gronby tried to move further inside. However, an Imperial blocked her way.
“Turn back at once!”
“You’re too much. After all the trouble to bring it….”
Seeing how Lady Gronby was rolling her eyes with her eyebrows down, Riga thought to herself, how young, so young. You shouldn’t roll your head so obviously.
“Do you take the national laws of Perseta and His Majesty the Emperor’s dignity lightly?”
“No, no, that’s not…!”
Lady Gronby was startled by the harsh look of the Imperial, hesitated and caught Riga’s eye.
“Civilians not authorized are not allowed in Belfort’s heart.”
Moreover, it was in the middle of a battle. But Lady Gronby, who knew little about it, pointed at Riga immediately.
“But, what about that woman!”
Riga, who was sitting casually with a picnic basket next to her, eating cheese in a carelessly dressed manner, clearly a civilian, opened her eyes wide.
“She is His Majesty the Emperor’s guest.”
“Since when was the Kaleita envoy such an honored guest?”
Surprise. It seems the rumor that the Kaleita envoy was here had spread all around.
The Imperial who had stopped Lady Gronby suddenly looked more menacing. What were the guards at the entrance thinking, letting this woman in?
“Refrain from further rudeness, young lady! Mind your behavior towards His Majesty the Emperor’s honored guest!”
Although it would have been interesting to see more, Riga turned her head and looked up at the sky. Oh no. She threw away the cheese she was eating.
“It’s a monster!”
The Imperials around her immediately drew their swords.
Monsters were clearly being generated at the edge of the horizon, but ten winged monsters that had penetrated the defensive line appeared in the sky above.
“Protect the Kaleita envoy at all costs!”
Did the Emperor of Perseta command so before he left? Riga honestly thought that wasn’t what mattered now.
The line of uninvited guests who suddenly rushed in quickly dispersed. The monsters were small, but fast.
“Kyiak!”
Lady Gronby screamed.
“Miss!”
Again, her nerves chilled. It was not that her body temperature had dropped. It was a sensation that had been forcibly awakened over the week she had been dragged around by Hayden, a sensation she had forgotten.
Yes, she had experience, and she had developed senses based on that experience. Ru quickly backed away.
If Imperialle protected her, it was right for her to retreat and not hear uninvited guests. Even here, the knight’s instinct to protect civilians had emerged.
‘I can see now. I can see now.’
She was bound by magic and unable to use many things, but she could do much with experience and average ordinary strength alone.
She reassured herself and immediately watched the attack pouring toward the monsters.
“Fire!”
There were no wizards in Perseta. Therefore, the weapons were developed with firepower, and Imperialle was skilled in shooting. Bang, thud! They pulled out their loaded hunting rifles and shot.
“Ahh!”
One of the little sisters, the younger one, burst into tears. She seemed to be only three years old, so naturally, she would be scared. Ru blocked the children’s path.
As she fended off the monsters falling from gunshots, a new monster that had come all the way from the distant horizon opened its mouth wide.
“Attack!”
A gun that takes time to load is just disposable in such times. Ru picked up an Imperialle flag nearby.
She couldn’t pull it out as lightly as before, but it paid off for not neglecting strength training.
“Ms. Gennes, take refuge inside……?”
An Imperialle member, who thought she was retreating and going inside, called her again and was puzzled. What did it mean that the engineer was holding a huge flag?
“Knight. Look above.”
Don’t take your eyes off it now!
Kyaahhh!
The monster’s chilling cry swallowed the child’s cry and rushed to the ground. Ru knew the monster was looking this way. Probably, it would touch the weakest looking children first.
“Avoid its claws first! Duck!”
Crack, the lid of the carriage that Lord Gronbi was riding in flew off. The young lord turned pale but stayed reasonably calm with the knights.
At the same time, Ru and a few Imperialle knights attacked the flying monster. The monster hit by the flag and stabbed by swords and spears let out an annoyed sound.
Imperialle was busy dealing with small monsters attacking around the big monster. Ru, who attracted the big one’s attention with the flag, stared straight into its yellow eyes.
‘Ah. I see. I read you.’
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
