He was resentful of him, who had disappeared like this, even though he knew that he had to go to the portal to pick up Princess Kelita.
“Ah, really! What am I going to say to the princess!”
When Wyatt shouted, Alex was startled and looked around cautiously.
“Do we… tell her the truth?”
“Are you crazy? You want me to tell her that he ran off into the forest in the middle of the night with a woman he doesn’t even know?”
“No, I’m sorry. Uh? Commander, it looks like the portal is about to open?”
“What?”
Wyatt looked up and stared at the portal that had already come close.
The portal, shaped like a giant semicircle, was made of a rare soul stone that was hard to find in the entire continent.
Its characteristic shining black stone seemed to hold the sunlight, emitting a faint light.
When the light wrapped around the entire ellipse, a transparent membrane would appear within the circle, and the princess’s party would appear there.
“Damn it. This is a real mess.”
Wyatt stared desperately down the road leading to the forest, hoping that perhaps Lakrahan would come even now.
[Star Icon]Lakrahan’s heartbeat was pounding, shaking her body like an earthquake.
Her small body, seemingly about to break, couldn’t even absorb his beat and was throwing it all back through her back.
“What does it feel like?”
Bercheria said nothing, but it wasn’t hard to see that she hadn’t regained her strength.
He knew from the start that just embracing her would not solve the problem.
Lakrahan placed her face in his palms and lifted it to face him.
“We don’t have time. We must find a way before your mother arrives.”
Now, he was the one growing impatient.
Without her wand, running away would be meaningless to Bercheria.
Just living another day, consuming her life, might be more painful for her.
“Come on, Bercheria.”
Lakrahan, looking into her still shaking eyes, suddenly pressed his lips to hers.
This time, there was no time to think.
When in a hurry, deeper contact had an effect, and that was all that filled his mind.
“……!”
Although it was a movement that lightly touched and then separated, it was enough to surprise Bercheria.
Lakrahan looked at her quietly.
Above her previously dim golden eyes, a clear light was leaking out.
“Ha.”
Lakrahan clenched his eyes shut and then opened them.
“Bercheria, listen to me carefully.”
He didn’t have the audacity to kiss her any way he wanted, even if it was for treatment.
Even if it was a healing act, it was difficult for Lakrahan, who notably had no experience with women.
“I am helping you here because I am doing it for my people.”
At least he thought he had to make that clear.
Bercheria was looking at him with eyes that didn’t understand what he was saying.
“And this is also a repayment for you saving the children and Lady Morgan.”
“Please hurry, it’s okay.”
Bercheria grabbed the back of his head and pulled him tightly towards herself.
And without hesitation, she kissed him.
The moment their flesh touched, she knew.
This time it was different.
Hot breath poured in, and Bercheria felt as if her body had become the sun itself.
Golden light exploded from her, enveloping the tower in an instant.
Had Lakrahan not closed his eyes, the light would have been bright enough to blind him.
And the next moment.
Lakrahan looked down, feeling as though the ground beneath him had been ripped away.
The world beneath his feet had vanished.
And at the same time, both bodies began to plummet toward the pitchblack floor.
[Star Icon]The portal gate opened, and a carriage bearing the royal eagle emblem was revealed.
Wyatt swallowed hard.
Before the war, he had been assigned to Princess Kelita and served in the royal knights.
He had only spent two months at her side before leaving the royal family as the war broke out.
But even after that, he sometimes thought of her.
Whether it was because he had to spend a lot of time alone in the war or because the last woman he saw was Kelita, he was not sure yet.
His thoughts of her ceased when the news of Lakrahan’s engagement began to circulate.
As the carriage came fully outside, Wyatt tensed and stepped forward.
“Sir Wyatt, the commander of the knights.”
Kelita extended her hand naturally as soon as she spotted him.
“Princess, it’s an honor to have you in the North.”
Wyatt bent one knee, kissed the back of her hand, and then stood up.
Kelita glanced around with her round eyes and asked,
“Where is the Duke?”
“Ah, about that.”
Wyatt, though loyal and brave, was not a smart man.
“He’s, uh, stomachache… in the bathroom….”
“What?”
Scratching the back of his head with his wriggling eyebrows, he said,
“He’s got diarrhea and he’s stuck in the toilet! I’m sorry!”
Kelita, who had her eyes wide open, let out a chuckle.
Covering her mouth with her lightly clenched hand and laughing, she said gently,
“Then I’ll wait.”
“What?”
“I will wait here until His Grace arrives.”
The color drained from Wyatt’s face.
Kelita, who had received a special command to bring about the marriage with Lakrahan no matter what, did not want this visit to go awry from the start.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine, Commander.”
Facing the smiling Kelita, Wyatt’s large lips were trembling.
The moment Lakrahan’s lips touched hers.
Bercheria felt the air surrounding her change in an instant.
An unknown power surged from within her, and the world seemed to slow down.
Slowly lifting her eyelids, she saw Lakrahan’s face.
At the same time, the tower’s scenery that had been enveloping them seemed to wriggle and live, then disappear gradually, folding up from the floor below.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
