“Isn’t it?”
Then, suddenly, the chain Ines had made was attached to the waist ornament she was wearing with a clicking sound.
“And also, it’s a symbol of binding oneself.”
Ines had not thought that the iron chain she bought would have such a meaning.
“So, keep it. It’s still incomplete. Complete it and give it back to me when I return.”
Ines nodded and pulled away from him. Whenever she moved, the sound of metal clinking against metal could be heard.
“Um, do I have to keep wearing this?”
At her careful question, Carson burst into loud laughter.
“No, you don’t. Just wear it when you go to what you consider a battlefield. Then, I might be able to fill in what you lack and make you bind yourself more tightly.”
Ines nodded seriously at his words. Then, she looked at the documents she had been organizing.
“I’ll go back to the work I was doing.”
As soon as his permission was granted, Ines quickly grabbed the hem of her dress. She moved as nimbly as someone who had crawled the floor countless times.
Soon, all of Rulsonia filled the floor of her room.
“When you look at it like this, it’s nothing much.”
“What?”
“No, never mind. Just talking to myself.”
Carson intently watched the first spot Ines touched with her hand.
Lomfield, Ines chose that notorious prison as her starting point. Her finger then passed through a forest densely filled with beech and oak trees.
Closing her eyes, she assumed a walking posture with her two fingers, giving off the impression of a wizard casting some sort of spell.
Ines recalled the road she had been carried along in a carriage with her eyes closed. Even the voices of the chatty guards next to her.
〈We can’t just send these sinners, why do we have to go through this trouble.〉
The guards giggled and laughed at someone’s initiating comment. It was a memory she had never willingly brought to the surface.
〈At least there will be shade today because of the mountain. Why do we have to clean up what people up high messed up.〉
The prison guard spitting on the floor and muttering was named Homer, Homer Hutchinson.
Most of the guards were of poor quality, but Homer was somewhat better among them. He didn’t treat the prisoners humanely, but he didn’t beat or torment the women for fun.
“Hey, Homer. Do you know the name of that tunnel?”
“What the hell are you mumbling about again!”
Just then, the cart jolted, causing Ines’ body to shake significantly. The sensation, coupled with memories of that day, made her physically shudder.
Even now, Ines wanted to quit, but she followed the blueprints on the ground and continued to reminisce about that day’s events.
“Your wife’s name is……right?”
“Don’t you dare touch my wife.”
The guards’ low laughter pained Ines’ ears on both sides.
“The name of that tunnel is …… Soon that tunnel will be closed, and if your wife has closed her door on you…”
Just then, Homer’s body shifted towards the man who had been mocking his wife, causing Ines to be crushed by Homer. Homer reached out, but the other quickly dodged and spoke again.
“Why name the tunnel after a mountain in the first place. If the mountain is the end of the world, then of course the tunnel will close.”
“The end of the world…”
Ines mumbled, but not loud enough for Carson to hear.
“Homer, did you hear that? Have you been to the end of the world, where there are only closed doors?”
“Phi…stera.”
“Ines?”
The guards’ loud laughter mixed with Carson calling her name.
“Phistera!”
Startled by her sudden shout, Carson touched her shoulder. But she didn’t look at him and began to thoroughly search the map to confirm whether the railroad set by Dropinua passed through Phistera.
And soon, she found that mountain. The end of the world called Phistera.
“My Lord! Look here. A railroad cannot absolutely be laid through this mountain.”
“Why…?”
The reason the mountain was named Phistera was because of its location. It was the last mountain adjacent to the sea. It was also the second-to-last station that Dropinua had set up.
The railroad starts from Landhill. And there were only two viable options for the railroad route at this point.
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.]
