“The North has decided to be loyal to me. If you subdue the monsters and don’t act harshly in the North, it’s better than the Eastern nobles. The West, as you see, has a barren environment, so no one comes, and there are many people from the Kaleta Empire. The Count and Countess of Plache, who came 11 years ago, are playing that pivotal role.”
And the people of the West would send unconditional loyalty to the Emperor, who protects their homeland from monster waves. Ludo looked at the man who had been granted the countship by his parents.
“Which side do you prefer? Duke Genus, or Countess Plache?”
Countess, indeed? The sudden title made Ludo cough, stopping his food. Countess? It was extremely awkward and strange.
“The next great Earl Fuleri and Count Plache are Duke Genus.”
Hayden spoke leisurely, filling the glass with water and pushing it to her.
“Here, the inheritance goes to the eldest child, regardless of gender.”
“I never thought, cough, thought, cough, cough.”
“You don’t have to speak so desperately. Drink water first. And having a title to inherit is something to celebrate, not to be modest about. Isn’t inheriting what your parents built a good thing?”
Ludo was completely lost because of Hayden’s casual speech.
“That will happen decades later, Your Majesty.”
“The Count and Countess have already made up their minds. Even if it’s something that will happen decades later, it’s natural that the Duke will be the next Count. So, what will you do?”
Ah. I’ve been caught in a trap. Ludo realized as he stopped drinking water.
Hayden was a very kind and gentle hunter. He warns the prey that he will hunt, and even prepares a place for the prey to run.
He calmly walks, follows the prey, blocks the path where the prey has run away, and just closes the door with a click.
In the end, Emperor Perseita had already arranged to lure the Caleta commissioner to come over to Perseita.
The Emperor’s loyal retainer is here, how could Riga stay as a Caleta commissioner? He must have known it would come to this. He certainly must have.
“Don’t tell me you’re giving a predetermined answer.”
“You may see it that way, but I think Commissioner Gennes can easily turn the decision around. She has other places to go besides here.”
In the western part of the Caleta Empire, at the edge of Momentum, in a nameless territory, there was a collapsing shack.
“She can give up on revenge, and be alone in solitude.”
Hayden listed the insignificant options Riga had, as if on guard. Rustica Gennes can willingly walk into hell.
The one who desperately dragged her here, whether his heart sank or not, he didn’t care if she fell. So he was very afraid of these insignificant choices.
“Her loyalty to Caleta might still be deep. That’s how most people are. Caleta prefers almost a brainwashing method.”
That’s right. In the Caleta Empire, the emperor was no different from a god, and one could not dare to rebel. Calling the Emperor’s majesty carelessly was unthinkable. Riga put down the glass.
“So you’ve learned a lot about this place.”
Family, the honorable position of an earl, even the magic spell cast on her. Objectively, there was no reason to stay in Caleta.
“Even after all that, I can’t feel at ease.”
He was staring straight at Riga. Somehow his gray eyes were parched, so Riga picked up the glass again.
“I don’t understand why you think so.”
Hayden smiled faintly.
“You don’t?”
“Yes.”
Riga answered briefly and drank the water.
“Isn’t it reasonable to doubt a woman who wants to pretend she spent a fun night with the Emperor and then act as if nothing happened?”
In an instant, she turned her head to the opposite side of where Hayden was sitting. A more strange noise followed by a harsh coughing sound continued.
Hayden filled the empty glass with a calm expression.
“It was even sympathy, Commissioner.”
The sarcasm was so harsh that tears were about to flow from her eyes. Riga looked at the mad emperor with wide eyes. Hayden was smiling very brightly.
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.]
