“Well, now I’m planning to go to the North.”
Artia explained her future plans to everyone.
At the mention of going to the North, Leo jumped excitedly.
“Ooh, finally going back to our hometown? Exciting!”
Seeing Leo’s favorable reaction, Artia laughed and said, “Was it stuffy while you were here? You must have regretted secretly riding the carriage.”
“No, not at all.”
From fixing illnesses to keeping an eye on what was happening around Artia, Leo was relieved.
“It might have been more stuffy if I stayed in the North. I don’t regret it at all.”
“Then, I’m glad.”
Artia asked Kesha, who was staring at her belly, which she had pierced.
“How are the people of the Harad family doing?”
“Ah… They are doing well in prison. Especially Lady Harad, the Countess, seems to have improved her complexion through exercise.”
After Artia learned about her pregnancy, she didn’t enter the gym for a few days. In her absence, Kesha took care of Lady Harad.
Kesha told Lady Harad that she seemed unlikely to give up easily.
“Her complexion has improved, but it seems she couldn’t keep up with the exercise. Anyway, after going to the North, it would be better to leave it to someone else. Since they are people who committed serious crimes, the knights will manage them strictly. I’ve trained some reliable juniors.”
“Indeed, my apprentice.”
“Haha. Thank you.”
“Anyway, about the Harad family. If they want to get out of prison, they have to achieve three generations and 1000.”
“It means they can never get out for a lifetime.”
“Why not? If they try hard, they can. I certainly gave them an opportunity.”
Artia raised her eyebrows and laughed.
Just like when she first came to the capital, Artia was wearing a blue dress. It was undoubtedly the same outfit, but it gave a completely different vibe.
Transformed from the initial fragile and thin image, she now exuded a healthy and confident appearance that anyone could see.
Owen threw a word after seeing Artia’s tight-fitting dress.
“The dress seems a bit small.”
“I think so too. My size has gotten too big, so I barely squeezed into it.”
“Then why not wear something else?”
“I just wanted to wear the same thing as when I first came here today.”
“…”
Owen realized once again that Artia was unique in her own way.
“As you instructed, I’m doing well. If there’s anything you don’t know, please send me a letter anytime.”
Owen was disappointed, but since she was leaving, he bid her farewell, saying to come to the palace whenever she had the chance.
“Alright. Whenever there’s an opportunity, make sure to come to the palace.”
“Thank you for your words. Well… I’ll contact you through letters.”
Artia politely replied and smiled.
Eventually, the carriage departed.
Before leaving the palace, Artia organized everything in her current situation.
Owen completely abolished the Lady System that he had been pressuring the Wellington family to accept. Naturally, the powerful nation, Kerasian, which had sought to receive Lady titles, resisted.
The Felren Empire revealed the existence of magic essence, putting pressure on Kerasian.
Although the method of using magic essence was still unknown, the mere fact of its existence posed a significant threat.
Furthermore, the dark magic books underground were burned to ashes along with Owen.
Since dark magic books harmed others and hurt the user’s body, they should no longer exist in the world.
Looking at the ashes, Owen, Artia, and Casus all felt a sense of relief.
Clack, clack.
The carriage ran for a long time.
Artia, who was riding the carriage with Leo, teased him jokingly.
“Leo, you didn’t sit in the coach today?”
“Right, I…”
Leo chuckled and shook his head.
With the thought of heading back to the North again, Artia’s heart swelled. Thoughts of her hometown and the people she missed came to mind.
“I promised to take care of the knights’ bodies. I hope they are doing well.”
They probably haven’t changed their bad habits in the meantime.
“I wonder how much Black is grown now…”
Artia felt a bit guilty for leaving Black alone at the Duke’s estate.
Of course, he must be receiving plenty of love from the gardeners.
Black, being so affectionate and gentle, gained the love of many.
Even if something happened, with Heidegger at the Duke’s estate, the worst-case scenario wouldn’t occur.
“Black might have forgotten about me.”
As the carriage passed picturesque landscapes outside the window, Artia contemplated.
Clack, clack.
The sound of hooves heading north resonated clearly.
How far have they traveled?
The carriage arrived at the Duke’s estate in the late afternoon.
Passing through the vast land tinted by the setting sun, a familiar mansion came into view.
Artia and Kesha inside the carriage felt tears welling up.
“Oh, I missed this mansion so much.”
Artia felt her heart pounding fiercely at the sight of the familiar mansion.
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.”
