Duke, This Will Sting for a Moment (30 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 90
Airy hid inside Nicon’s saddlebag until they reached the village that Priest Clemens Mazella had told them about, not once sticking her head out.
Nicon clearly knew Airy was only pretending to sleep, given the loud, rumbling snores she was making, but he didn’t bother interrupting her by urging his horse faster.
He’d already learned the hard way—through countless experiences with the Captain—what happened when you carelessly provoked someone whose fists were quicker than their horse. Would it be any different just because she was the spirit of the Holy Sword paired with the Captain?
Just imagining it made Nicon shudder involuntarily.
– The goddess Justera had four beloved children~
As they entered the village square, a bard strumming a lute sang to a group of children gathered beneath a shaded staircase.
– To her firstborn, gentle and kind-hearted, she gave Gaius, the Earth Sword imbued with the power of the land. To her second child, clever and cool-headed, she bestowed Ielo, the Ice Sword veiled in frost~
Nicon halted his horse and listened to the bard’s song.
It was a tune he himself had heard during his childhood.
– To her passionate third child, she granted Flama, the Fire Sword wreathed in flames. And to her free-spirited, spoiled youngest, she placed Airy, the Wind Sword imbued with the breath of the gales, into their hands~
Hearing her own name, Airy poked her tiny face out from the saddlebag.
Nicon dismounted, slung the saddlebag over his shoulder, and pushed through the crowd so Airy could hear better, making his way to the front row.
– These four children were the tiny fragments of divinity the goddess Justera left behind before departing the world she had created.
The village children began singing the refrain in time with the bard’s lute.
– When the four Holy Swords gather, the world shall change~. When the fragments of godhood become one, the goddess shall descend once more~
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
