His death was truly horrific, as if the title of “undefeated” would never fall.
Especially because the author, whether a pervert or not, described Hades’ last moments in great detail.
The scene was so extreme that it could be called “the final boss of absurdity”.
Dragged into the enemy’s camp, subjected to unspeakable humiliations, and finally abandoned in a field to die, it was a perfect absurd story.
Atia naturally tried to shake off the contents of the original story that came to mind.
“I can’t leave this perfect creation to die in vain.”
Atia’s white, slender fingers deftly touched Hades’ tense and stiffened areas.
“What the hell are they trying to show with all this mess?”
Only a few minutes after thinking this.
“Sstop……”
The word to stop was on the tip of his tongue, but Hades couldn’t bring himself to say it.
His body felt too lax, as if he were in heaven.
Even drowsiness began to creep in, as if someone had cast a powerful sleep spell.
Even though he was known to be unfazed after staying up for several nights, it was impossible for him to fall asleep this quickly in just a few minutes.
“Sir, does it feel good?”
Hades wanted to reply, but he couldn’t utter a single word.
His speech was hindered by the overwhelming comfort.
What should he call this sensation?
“Don’t worry, get some rest. You must be tired from your long journey.”
Atia even said not to worry and to rest deeply, as if she knew his feelings.
However, Hades had never slept in front of strangers before.
“So, that was the technique.”
It was a moment when he could understand why even a highlevel martial artist would be tamed by this secret technique, if it were this.
On the other hand, it was dangerous.
It was certain that she was bewitching him with a strange secret technique called ‘daughterinlaw hand massage’.
He shouldn’t sleep.
If he falls asleep like this.
Even if he was conscious, to fall asleep in a defenseless state.
That would be no different from surrendering his body to the enemy.
Despite his mind screaming no, Hades’ eyelids were growing heavier and heavier.
The sweet smell of strawberries tickled his nose, and his body melted under the warm and cool touch.
Finally, Hades lost consciousness.
[This is the time separator]He jumped!
Startled, Hades opened his eyes wide.
“Where…where am I?”
He was lying comfortably on a couch.
The room was cozy due to a warm fire from a wallmounted fireplace, and outside the window, small snowflakes were fluttering.
He looked over his hands, feet, and all over his body to see if he was dead from assassination or still alive. There was nothing wrong anywhere.
To doublecheck, he even hit his body.
The fact that he could feel pain meant that he was alive.
“……what on earth.”
In an empty room, Hades began to put on the clothes he had taken off one by one.
Enchanted by something, he couldn’t believe it at all.
The fact that he had lost consciousness, being captivated by that strange hand technique, was too shocking.
“Was it a dream?”
However, a faint scent of strawberries and olive oil still lingered in the room.
As if to prove that it wasn’t a dream.
Hydeger, who had experienced the secret technique of Atia he had been so curious about, found himself left with only a hollow laugh.
“Heh, really.”
Why hadn’t she killed him?
It was a golden opportunity that wouldn’t come twice.
There must be a reason why the Harad family, his sworn enemy, had sent Atia.
Moreover, the royal family was struggling to keep the overwhelming power of the Duke of Wellington in check.
‘Unless the intention was not to assassinate?’
He inspected his body again. There was not a single bruise. No, far from a bruise, he felt as light as if he had been reborn.
The odd discomfort he had always felt around his neck was completely gone.
There was no pain in his shoulder that had been sore every time he raised his arm.
Even his mind was clear.
‘What the hell is going on?’
Hydeger scrunched up his forehead, unable to figure out what was happening.
[This is the time separator]In Casus’s office.
Casus, who had been staring at a document for a long time, briefly raised his head and called for a servant.
“Where is my father now?”
“Uhm….”
The servant hesitated and was unable to continue.
Casus furrowed his brows and asked again.
“What’s the matter?”
“Your Grace, the previous Duke, is… he’s in the guest room with the mistress.”
“What?”
Casus accidentally dropped the pen he was holding.
“Why?”
“I am not quite sure.”
Whenever Hydeger visited the Duke of Wellington, Casus made sure his father had no other plans so he could rest as much as possible.
Respecting each other’s private lives and not interfering. Any hasty intervention could cause problems with the visit.
That was the unspoken rule of the Wellington family.
But.
The fact that Hydeger was alone in the guest room with Atia?
The daughter of the Harad family. Hydeger, who presided over the marriage, knew this fact better than anyone.
No matter how he thought about it, the picture didn’t make sense.
“Are you sure you didn’t see wrong?”
“I am certain.”
“What the…”
What could be Hydeger’s intention?
Casus thought and thought.
If Atia had bad intentions and had called Hydeger to harm him, that would make sense.
But who was Hydeger?
He was a person with an intimidating insight that saw through thoughts just by looking at expressions.
‘Did he go to find out Atia’s secret to taming Cerberus?’
Casus recalled his father, who had walked over to Atia and Cerberus and petted the beast while clapping.
If that’s the case, there’s no need to worry.
Hydeger survived numerous assassination attempts.
No matter how much professional training Atia has, she is nothing more than dust in front of Hydeger.
Scratch, scratch.
Casus picked up the pen again and began writing the document.
Scratch, the black ink quickly seeped into the paper.
One line,
Two lines,
Three lines,
But as the letters on the paper increased, his mind became complicated.
He was bothered for no particular reason.
Specifically, it was not his father, Hydeger, but Atia.
The woman who had lived a life as quiet as a dead mouse had begun to act strangely a few days ago.
It’s unpredictable what she’ll do this time.
‘I guess I should go see for myself.’
Casus pushed the ‘Opposition to the Royal Princess System’ petition he was writing to the corner of the desk and got up from his seat.
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.
