So what. I’m the boss. If you’re the boss, you have to boss around a little. Hehe.
Idrish looked like he was thinking very hard.
Think hard, Mr. Idrish. No matter how you think about it, fulfilling my demands is the best way, right?
〈Okay. Then I’ll give you a room and freedom. But I have conditions too.〉
〈What are they? Just tell me.〉
I wore a generous smile as if showing off my broadmindedness.
〈First, you’ll be with the maid I attach to you all day long.〉
A maid? Even better. Isn’t it someone who can fetch water when I’m too lazy to drink it, and brush my hair when I’m too lazy to do it?
〈Secondly, as you said earlier, if it’s for breaking the curse, you’ll actively engage in whatever the method is.〉
Whatever it is?
He wouldn’t be thinking of killing me, would he?
I suddenly imagined Idrish making medicine by spreading a dead hedgehog on my chest. I shook my head to shake off the gruesome scene.
No way. That’s totally killing the goose that lays golden eggs. At least that method would have been used after trying everything else.
Although there was an abstract fear, it was not a bad deal. I was getting both safety and freedom, better than wandering outside in danger and poverty.
Of course, I was worried about the war Idrish would later provoke, but…
But think about it. The fact that Idrish provokes it means that if Idrish changes his mind, nothing will happen. This is the reverse thinking of thought!
〈The moment you violate these two things, all your freedom and rights will be revoked. Do you agree?〉
〈Yes, I agree!〉
I nodded my head brightly.
That’s how I got my room.
Naturally, it was smaller and cozier compared to Idrish’s room.
But there was a mirror and a vanity I wanted, and the bed was comfortable. The window wasn’t too big, and just the right amount of sunshine came in in the morning.
“Yeah, Idrish’s room was too hot. A lazy tiger.”
The peculiar thing was that there was a door to the maid Mirai’s room at the entrance corridor of the room. When coming in and out, it was impossible to avoid Mirai’s view.
“Cecilia, have you woken up?”
Mirai came into my room with washwater, her footsteps silent. I rubbed my eyes and sat up. Mirai wet a soft cloth with appropriately warm water and wiped my face.
What a luxury this is.
Since the newly hired servant Mirai came, I didn’t have to do anything with my own hands.
Wash me, dress me, comb my hair. Despite having the same face and hair, I looked rather like a noble young lady under her touch.
“Thank you, Mirai.”
“It’s my job.”
This time, Mirai, who was combing my hair, smiled showing her cute teeth. Her fingertips were not only skillful but very gentle. I felt as though I’d gained a dependable older sister.
“I need to thank Idrish.”
“Why?”
“For hiring Mirai. Mirai, do you get paid a lot? Should I ask Idrish for twice as much?”
There was no guarantee that Idrish would agree, but I playfully boasted with affection. Well, I will work twice as hard to break the curse.
Mirai smiled with her eyes closed.
“I already receive enough. Alright, I’m done. You must go to Lord Idrish now.”
“Ah… Is Idrish waiting for long?”
“Yes, he told you to come as soon as you wake up.”
“I don’t want to go…”
I got up, dawdling to stall time.
“Hurry up.”
Mirai urged me, smiling.
How could I refuse when she smiles like that? Tsk.
Mirai led me into Idrish’s room.
She seemed to be in a good mood, Mirai.
To her, the time with Idrish was the only free time, so it made sense?
I closed the door behind me and entered. It was strange and tense, although it was a room where I had spent a few days when I was a hedgehog.
“You’re late.”
I was startled and turned around at the sound of Idrish’s voice from behind. He just came out of the bathroom, his hair wet.
“I overslept.”
“Who was the one who said they would actively engage in breaking the curse?”
“But I didn’t run away and came.”
Idrish’s mouth twitched as I scowled.
He was teasing me again.
“Let’s start then.”
“Uh, yes.”
With my response, Idrish casually took off his top. I turned my head elsewhere. Even though I saw his bare body every day, it was embarrassing.
No, in fact, the embarrassment and shyness seemed to grow more and more as time went by.
This was also why I was reluctant to come to Idrish’s room.
Idrish sat quietly on the bed, waiting for me.
“But I haven’t eaten anything since I got up.”
“Eat later. Come quickly.”
“Yes…”
I accepted that there was no way out, and stood next to Idrish. The eye level of sitting Idrish and standing me was roughly the same. I covertly swallowed.
Idrish raised an eyebrow as if to say, what are you doing instead of starting?
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.
