Since Artia returned from the palace to the Duke’s mansion, the atmosphere at the estate has blossomed. Before her arrival, or to be precise, until the moment Artia burst into Casus’s office, the Wellington Duke’s residence primarily maintained a serious atmosphere. The environment was devoid of light banter or room for jokes, and even the slightest mistake received cold stares, reminiscent of walking on thin ice.
The servants moved with strict adherence to rules, and the hierarchical relationships were clear. The majority of the servants had never witnessed Duke Casus Wellington smiling. However, now things were different.
“Ahahaha!”
When Casus was with Artia, a smile never left his face. The dazzling smile made the servants feel the worth of their work at the mansion day by day.
“I’ll work here until I die.”
“Me too. As long as I don’t get fired, I’ll work here for a lifetime.”
The servants were pleased just by seeing Casus’s smile, claiming that it wiped away the fatigue of their day.
“The welfare at the Duke’s mansion is the best!”
Working at Wellington Mansion became the dream of many. Artia became close to the knights, treating them without any distance, and caring for the knights’ parents and siblings.
“Seleck, how are your parents?”
“Oh, thanks to Lady, they’ve improved a lot.”
“Thank goodness. I wasn’t sure if the citrus tea would suit them, so I added lavender and oyster powder.”
The knight, who had given the food to his mother suffering from a chronic illness, seemed to appreciate it, his eyes reddening.
“Thank you so much. How can I repay this kindness…”
Artia placed her hand on his shoulder, smiling.
“Just keep doing what you’re doing now.”
At that moment, another knight approached Artia and asked, “Lady, how’s your condition today?”
“Me?”
“Your face looks good.”
“Does it?”
Artia was the most favored person among the servants. They sought Artia more than Duke Casus. The Wellington Mansion with her was nothing short of heaven. Working there was not at all tiring, and all those working at the mansion looked forward to their working hours.
The royal family no longer pressured the Wellingtons, and Artia spent happy days at the mansion. Especially, Heidegger doted on his daughter-in-law.
Cough! I specially prepared it for Mernuela. If you have any pain, let me know. I’ll get you anything you need.
Heidegger not only built a gym for Artia but also provided her with various delicacies. If anything seemed good for her health, he would bring it, no matter how far away it was. As the days went by, Artia gained weight, and her body grew. Kesha realized that Heidegger being a role model was not a joke.
Artia, seen from a distance, looked like a robust knight with long hair. Only her head distinguished her as a knight. But even this appearance brought a pleased smile to Heidegger’s face as he sincerely said to Artia, “You look good.”
If there’s anything even slightly good for the body, Artia has gone far and wide to get it. As the days passed, Artia gained weight and her physique grew. Kesha sincerely realized that the saying that Heidegger is a role model was no joke. Artia, seen from a distance, looked like a robust knight with long hair. Only her head distinguished her as a knight. But even this appearance brought a pleased smile to Heidegger’s face as he sincerely said to Artia, “You look good.”
“Thank you, Father!”
Artia was contributing significantly to making Heidegger the longest-serving elder in the dukedom.
“Father, is the development of the hiking trail going well?”
“Oh, that thing.”
After discussing with Artia, Casus decided to develop a hiking course for the residents of the dukedom. Leaving the land as it is would be good, but creating a space for the people of the dukedom would be more efficient.
The goal was to take care of everyone’s health by not harming nature and creating paths for people to walk on.
“It’s almost finished. Once it’s complete, come and take a look.”
“Of course! I’m already looking forward to it. Aren’t you excited?”
Artia clapped her hands with an expectant face.
‘Ah, I should visit the island with the Red Warrior tribe sometime.’
Artia had plans to go to the island where Owen’s 4th ship was, as agreed with the tribe and Owen. ‘I should go when Kevin is a bit bigger.’
While at the Duke’s mansion, Artia made plans and took care of people. After Artia returned to the Duke’s mansion, she later gave gifts to Hari and Kesha.
Artia gave Hari a research lab so she could study Sacred Power, and she built a separate gym for Kesha to become a complete fitness trainer.
Hari and Kesha were too valuable to be assigned mundane tasks.
“Hari, it’s a research lab for you.”
When Artia gave Hari the research lab, Hari burst into tears, crying.
“It’s good to be in love, but I hope you study hard.”
Facing a smiling Artia, Hari sniffled.
“Ma-Madam…”
“Ah, why are you crying over something like this.”
“Thank you so much… I’ll repay everything. Hng…”
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.
