“Hey? Hey! Hyung, don’t do this. Quickly hug Nuna. Hurry!”
Groovy was rolling his feet, showing impatience.
He was terrified that Lacrarian might give up on Vercheria and let her die like this, so his heart was pounding.
Thump! Creak!
Mu, too, was grabbing Lacrarian’s pants, barking incessantly.
“Hah.”
Lacrarian stood still without moving, wrapping his head with his hands.
Vercheria, lying on the ground, now had even her breathing become faint.
Inside her terrifyingly pale body, an explosion of power was happening.
The uncontrollable power of the goddess was turning the fragile human body, one by one, extinguishing life.
“Hyung, please. Sob. Please save Nuna.”
Groovy, crying like a child, began lifting Vercheria from the ground onto his back.
“Huk.”
Although he had just experienced an ordeal that drained all his strength, making it difficult to stand alone.
He was wobbling his legs, but still, he was struggling to lift Vercheria without giving up.
“Groovy.”
Lacrarian, who had been covering his face, called him in a lowered voice.
“Huk.”
Groovy, whose entire attention was on Vercheria, did not respond to Lacrarian’s words.
“Groovy.”
It was only after Lacrarian called him a second time that Groovy made a sound.
“Why!”
“Get up.”
“I don’t want to. I won’t leave Nuna behind.”
Lacrarian grabbed Groovy’s collar, who was stubbornly refusing, and lifted him to his eye level.
“Let go! Why are you doing this!”
Struggling in mid-air, Groovy, Lacrarian spoke with a heavy voice.
“How much mana can you pull out?”
“…What are you suddenly saying, huk, what does that mean?”
Lacrarian’s gaze sank deeply.
“As much mana as possible, pull it out and send it to me. Can you do it?”
“Mana?”
“Yeah, into my body.”
Groovy, with a puzzled expression, remembered the portal he had crossed with Gerald.
The feeling of touching the portal and injecting mana into it was still vivid in his fingertips.
“Ha, I think I can do it.”
“Yeah. Then do it.”
Lacrarian took off his cloak, covered Vercheria lying on the ground without any gaps, and then held her precious body tightly.
Even in the state where all his strength was drained from the recent experience, he was trying hard to lift Vercheria without giving up.
“Groovy.”
“Yes, Lord.”
“I’m going to open the portal now.”
“…Yes?”
Kelita stood by the window, staring at the distant, blurred north, invisible through the rain.
Pwoyoo
Under the rain clouds sprinkling rain, a giant eagle was flying in a circle.
“This feeling…”
It felt somewhat unpleasant.
For a moment, she turned around.
With each step she took backward, Kelita’s gentle expression gradually turned cold.
As Kelita stepped out of the room, the maids rushed towards her as if they had been waiting.
“Princess, did you meet that woman?”
“What woman?”
Kelita lifted her shoe from under her dress with a snap.
“How dare you act fragile in front of me, your fiancée, and try to seduce the Duke?”
“Oh my.”
“Goodness gracious. You’re quite audacious.”
Kelita tightened her jaw while hearing the maids’ insults.
“No need to make a fuss. It’s just that you don’t understand your place yet.”
The maids, who were playing along with Kelita’s changed mood, soon followed her, leaving together in a group.
Wyatt came out with a dark expression.
Timothy, who wore a troubled look, followed him outside.
“Where on earth is the Duke?”
Wyatt looked up at the distant sky with a worried expression.
“That’s right. Even if we look everywhere, he’s nowhere to be seen. This has never happened before.”
“I’ll tell you everything when the Duke returns. He’s the emperor, after all. Don’t cause a disturbance like this today.”
“Captain, you shouldn’t act recklessly. It might endanger all the Northern families.”
“I know!”
Wyatt unintentionally shouted and cursed himself for not being able to control his emotions.
“Just endure it for now. I’ll endure it for now. But when the Duke returns, I won’t endure it.”
Wyatt, swirling his cloak, turned around and walked away.
“Sigh.”
Timothy, unable to control his emotions, leaned against the wall with a weakened body.
“Duke.”
Everything was falling apart because of Gerald, who was doing whatever he wanted.
Lacrarian recalled the diary of the wizard who had initially created the portal.
Among the chaotic thoughts, ideas, complaints, and hopeful stories, there was an unordered story about creating a makeshift portal.
This did not apply to others, but it was a method utilizing his own ice attribute.
When Lacrarian first read it, he thought his ancestor was just a serious eccentric.
An absurd story.
However, not long ago, he witnessed a woman in the forest, Vercheria’s mother, creating a portal alone.
It wasn’t an impossible task.
Lacrarian glanced at Groovy.
“But you could die doing this.”
“……. ”
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.
