“That brat.”
Gerard furrowed his brows. The justification for this war lay in Lachrahan violating his orders and disappearing with Vercheria. However, if he suddenly appeared in such a healthy state, Gerard’s reason to start a war would vanish.
“…….”
Gerard couldn’t contain his anger and clenched his fists. Lachrahan, striking a pose as if he were the protagonist, rode on a condor against the backdrop of the wind, looking down at Gerard.
“Arrogant.”
Gerard momentarily considered calling the Absolute Deity to eliminate that insolent guy, but he managed to hold back. Wasting the Absolute Deity’s summon, which could only be used once, was out of the question.
Gerard muttered, making sure only Dylan could hear.
“Bring him down.”
Dylan, who still held Groovy, turned to look at Gerard with a slight frown. Since Dylan was someone who wouldn’t ask twice when given an order, Gerard yelled at him with an annoyed expression.
“What are you looking at? Shoot an arrow, throw a knife, do something to bring down that fox-like guy from the North!”
Dylan breathed out quietly to avoid being heard by anyone, then threw Groovy to the guard behind him. After that, he drew the longsword at his waist and began running towards the condor.
Lachrahan widened his view to scan Gerard’s surroundings. He had already finished grasping how the situation was unfolding by looking down from above.
“War?”
Gerard’s quick judgment was so absurd that Lachrahan couldn’t help but laugh. “This time, it seems that Leonie didn’t intervene.” The knights of Lachrahan, who had trained themselves to survive in the barren North even after the prosperous era following the war, were completely different from the royal guards who had survived after the war. Except for Dylan, everything from physique to combat skills was beyond comparison.
Gerard must have known that, yet starting a war was either he was determined to go to the end or he had lost his mind.
“Bring down that fox-like guy from the North!”
Hearing Gerard’s shout, Lachrahan couldn’t help but find it amusing. Even though he had faced the royal guards that tormented them for so long, Gerard’s knights were no match for them.
Except for Dylan, nobody had proper weapons or attire.
“Tsk.”
Even such shabbiness was so Gerard-like that it was amazing.
“Whoa!”
At that moment, near Gerard, Dylan was seen running towards him with a drawn sword.
Lachrahan whispered the language of the gods to Muhah. As if waiting for this, Muhah swiftly kicked Dylan away with its claws.
“Crack!”
Then, as if Muhah had been waiting to torment the royal guards who had harassed them, it flicked Dylan away with its claws.
“Kwaak!”
Dylan, who had always stood guard over Gerard like an iron wall, flew through the air like a piece of paper.
Several of the royal guards who had been eyeing Muhah and had thrown their knives at them noticed this and ran away to the other side.
Some of them were the ones who had captured Muhah a few days ago. There was a fear that Muhah might recognize them and seek revenge.
“Alert, Your Highness! Get ready for a large-scale attack!”
Not missing the moment, Wyatt, who had been held by one of Gerard’s royal guards, pulled out a knife from the guard’s waist and, in a reversal, shouted, holding them hostage.
The Northern knights, who had been waiting for the opportunity, simultaneously launched an attack.
In an instant, chaos erupted in front of the portal leading to the North.
“What are you fools doing! What’s going on!”
Confused Gerard just looked around at the chaotic situation.
Lachrahan, who stood above Muhah, surveyed everything and suddenly noticed two people belatedly rushing through the portal.
“Found you.”
Only then did he land Muhah and came down to the ground, riding on its beak.
As Lachrahan stepped forward, Gerard, who was shocked, took a step back.
“You, you!”
He desperately moved his head as if looking for a royal guard to rescue him from Lachrahan. However, due to the commotion caused by the Northern knights and the ground battle, there were no royal guards paying attention to Gerard.
“This guy!”
Gerard drew a jeweled sword he had carried around as a decoration. The blade, never used in a fight, looked dull at a glance, and the gemstones embedded for aesthetics added unnecessary weight.
Gerard’s hands trembled from the weight of the sword, but he still managed to raise the blade towards Lachrahan.
Lachrahan stared at Gerard with his cat-like pupils, so close that he could almost reach him by extending his hand.
His appearance was like a terrifying beast, walking as if a lion was approaching, and it seemed inhuman.
“Kruh!”
Finally, overwhelmed by the pressure, Gerard closed his eyes.
Tightly, with closed eyes, he waited for Lachrahan’s attack.
But no matter how long he waited, nothing happened.
When he cautiously opened his eyes, Lachrahan was passing by him as if nothing had happened.
“…What.”
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.
