“Why didn’t she say something?”
After the emperor left, the maids came pouring in.
After finishing her bath and changing her clothes, Rasilia forced herself to hide an expression that seemed as if she would die of embarrassment, and asked the Countess of Pashad.
“It is that… Her Majesty the Empress thought that it couldn’t be unknown that it was the wedding night’s sleepwear.”
The Countess’s voice crept far away.
“Again and again, since you said that you liked the wedding night’s sleepwear…”
“Enough. I know what you mean.”
Rasilia let out a small sigh.
All this time, the Empress had been repeating obvious lies. No one took the words of the Empress as the truth.
“As everyone knows, I lost my memory. I can’t even remember a trivial thing like sleepwear. If I make a mistake like today, someone must stop me.”
“That is… understood, Your Majesty the Empress.”
The answer was polite, but for some reason, it didn’t quite seem believable.
Even at this moment, the maids were probably going back and forth on whether the Empress was lying or not.
‘I can’t help it. I have to be more careful.’
No matter how she thought about it, she had no choice but to leave this place quickly. The shadow knights who immediately drew their swords when they heard the word ‘fake’ came to mind. Ryan’s threats were not in vain.
‘I have to go back to Delarata as soon as possible. I have to find an opportunity to naturally bring up healing prayers…’
She thought up to there.
Knock knock.
“Your Majesty the Empress.”
The opportunity came to Rasilia on its own.
“Sir Terdenad Pielion, the young Count, requests to see you.”
[This is the time separator]Pielion’s young Count was the Empress’s classmate.
“I have come to see Her Majesty the Empress.”
The age difference didn’t seem much. The beautiful young man with cold blue eyes and black hair, who looked cold and was adopted to continue the title, was terrifyingly similar to the Empress.
He respectfully bowed and sat down, and gently kissed the back of Rasilia’s hand.
“May God bless the unchanging beauty of Your Majesty.”
“…Thank you, Count Pielion. You may rise now.”
“As you wish.”
Terdenad stood up.
Without being asked, the maids quietly left the room.
“…?”
While Rasilia was thinking that it was a bit strange, Terdenad abruptly came closer and grabbed a handful of her still damp hair and smelled it.
“Hmm. Lemon scent today. Even though you know I don’t like it. Sis, you don’t suit fresh things.”
Slap!
Startled, Rasilia slapped Terdenad’s hand away.
“What are you doing?”
“What are you doing, Sis? That hurts.”
Terdenad, holding his reddened hand, pouted. His speech and actions were so natural that one could guess that the two were very close.
“I don’t remember anything about the time with you, Count. I heard who you are, but unfortunately, I don’t remember at all. Please understand and treat me as a stranger.”
“Ha…? What’s this? Are you going to pretend to have amnesia even with me?”
Listening to him, it seemed he had heard about the amnesia.
“You are a classmate, but I wish you would observe etiquette.”
“Etiquette…? Really, I’m speechless.”
Terdenad shook his head back and forth.
Rasilia felt the same way.
Even her own family didn’t believe the Empress’s words. She felt that the road back to Delarata seemed very long.
Suddenly, Terdenad, striding forward, plopped down beside Rasilia.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m serious. Quit this boring act. Just tell me. Are you mad at me? The spell didn’t work?”
“Spell…?”
Terdenad Pielion knew the Empress’s secret. Now she seemed to understand why the maids had left the room.
The empress would have been accustomed to sharing secrets with him. The habit of leaving the room when the two were together was such that it came before the orders to the maids.
‘The empress used a spell? Why on earth?’
Rasilia changed her mind about sending Ternadan away. Ternadan Pielion could tell a story about the empress that no one else knew.
“If my sister has something to be angry about, isn’t it just that? Is the spell still ineffective? Is that why you are punishing me?”
“…….”
When Rasilia said nothing, Ternadan took Rasilia’s hand and pressed it against his cheek. His twisted eyes looked painful.
“Please, sister……. Don’t do this to me. I did my best for you. You know I went all the way to Trinidad to bring back the sorcerer said to be the most powerful.”
The time when spells were actively used was a distant past. At some point, spells were recognized as an unstable power without substance compared to sacred power or magic.
The vast knowledge required to learn spells also made them more complicated.
The results of halfhearted spells attempted with inadequate knowledge were more often disastrous.
In the end, the number of sorcerers dwindled, and the world forgot about them.
Trinidad was a city where the few remaining sorcerers on the continent continued the lineage of the past.
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.
