How to Turn a Kind Savior into an Emperor (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 13
The matter between Ines and himself was already settled. She had saved his younger brother, and in return, he had granted her immunity. Now, if she ever committed the crime of killing someone, it would simply be his turn to step in and save her.
He let out a quiet chuckle at the thought of her killing someone. Though it seemed absurd, the irregular pounding of his heart kept bothering him.
Four days later, Carson finally rescued Rena’s son. Earl Graeham had hidden the boy in the home of one of his subordinates. As soon as rumors of Rena’s death spread through the territory, Earl Graeham made his move—he ordered the boy’s assassination as if it were the natural next step. But
Carson’s side had rescued the child one step ahead of him.
“What do you plan to do with Rena Marierre?”
At Noah’s question, Carson rubbed his jaw without answering.
He would keep her hidden for now, but she remained a criminal who had attempted to assassinate a member of the imperial family.
Yet he found it difficult to make a decision about her fate. Strangely, he felt as though he needed Ines’s permission before deciding what to do with Rena.
“Put it on hold for now. Just bring the child back.”
Rena, having received her son, would remain confined in a secret room with him. Though it was confinement, it posed no direct threat to her safety, so for the time being, she would live as a dead woman in the basement of Earl Raymond’s mansion—with the child she loved.
Carson considered the matter resolved for now.
Since the perpetrator of the incident had died without leaving a word, his official stance was that the matter would no longer be pursued.
Meanwhile, the weather had grown slightly warmer, and the new lord of Landhill had finally opened the doors of his mansion.
Afterward, the nobles of Landhill grew busy preparing a welcoming banquet to celebrate the new lord’s arrival.
“People from the capital’s atelier have arrived to help with the banquet preparations.”
Having finished reporting various matters concerning the estate, Noah spoke firmly once more to the young earl, who remained buried in documents without answering—even having skipped breakfast. Carson had paid an enormous sum to bring the capital’s atelier staff to Landhill.
He had readily agreed to cover not only their lodging expenses and staff wages, but also double the income the atelier would have earned during their one-month stay here.
“My lord?”
“Yes, I heard you.”
“Shall I go choose your outfit now…?”
“Just wear anything. Don’t worry about my clothes—strengthen the perimeter security instead.”
Noah quietly sighed under his breath at the earl’s capriciousness. If anything would do, then why had he gone to such lengths to summon them to the estate?
He had agonized greatly over calling the high-and-mighty atelier from the capital.
Even now, he was on his way back after settling the staff’s complaints and rushing to meet Carson. Hearing Carson’s indifferent reply, Noah reflected on his own life.
Born as the second son of a minor viscount’s family in a provincial territory, he had fought tooth and nail to get where he was. It was only natural that someone from an unremarkable house like his had to work twice as hard as others to become an imperial advisor.
When he’d first been appointed as an advisor to the imperial family, he’d felt as though he owned the world. Back then, he never imagined he’d end up doing such trivial tasks.
“It would have been nice if you’d told me that earlier.”
Startled by his own unintentional grumble, he met the earl’s eyes in midair. He quickly lowered his head and stepped back a pace.
“My apologies.”
“Really? Sorry about that.”
Hearing an unexpected apology, Noah was so surprised his face flushed.
“Oh, no—it was I who overstepped.”
“Don’t bow so deeply. We’ll be spending a lot of time together from now on. I need an advisor, not a mere attendant.”
Though his tone was cold, his words were not. Noah was left speechless, able only to stare for a long while at the top of his lord’s head as the man bent back over his documents.
Of course, he knew Carson was an exceptional negotiator and strategist with extraordinary business acumen—just the sheer fortune Carson had secretly amassed was proof enough. But even he was human and needed counsel.
“We had to call the atelier staff anyway.”
“Yes?”
“Have all of Louis’s clothes remade from scratch. The boy won’t be bringing anything from House Graeham. I’ll buy him everything anew.”
“Yes, understood.”
“And, tell me—what do you think…?”
At that moment, without even looking up, Carson began tapping an empty sheet of paper with his pen, as if probing Noah’s thoughts. Noah perked up his ears, waiting for the advice Carson sought.
“Never mind.”
“Yes?”
“I said never mind—just go.”
“I’m fine. Please, go ahead and speak.”
Carson gave his pen a quick twirl and met Noah’s eyes. Though Noah hadn’t served him long, this was the first time he’d seen his lord hesitate.
“What do you think—if I send a dress to Lady Swenden for this banquet, would it seem excessive? Or might it be interpreted in some other way… among those gossip-loving noblewomen, I mean.”
“For example…?”
“She’s of marriageable age, after all.”
Noah fell into thought for a moment. Indeed, a young, unmarried lord sending a dress to a marriageable noblewoman of his territory was like throwing meat to the gossips—it could easily become a messy scandal for the lady.
“If you make your intentions clear when sending it, it should be fine.”
“Intentions?”
“Didn’t you save Lady Luigianne’s life?”
“Ah.”
“Isn’t that why you’re sending it?”
Carson was silent for a moment, then nodded.
“Yes. Exactly.”
“Then include jewelry with the dress as well.”
“Include…?”
“So it’ll be unmistakably clear it’s a gift from you.”
He lowered his head again to review his documents.
“Not a bad idea.”
“Understood.”
Convinced his first piece of advice had been successful, Noah hurried to carry out his orders. Just as he neared the door, Carson’s voice called out from behind.
“Make it green.”
“Yes?”
“The dress—and the accessories too. Green would be best. Not too dark a shade.”
Noah was momentarily speechless but quickly nodded. Perhaps his lord’s character was more delicate than he’d realized.
“And a necklace would be good.”
“Should that be green as well?”
“Yes.”
After Noah left, Carson fell into thought for a while. Green—though he’d never even seen Ines Swenden in a green dress. For something he’d blurted out on impulse, it was surprisingly specific.
Shaking the thought from his head, he turned his mind back to schemes of making money.
On the day of the welcoming banquet for Landhill’s new lord, Ines stood before two dresses, lost in deep contemplation.
One was a shade similar to her green eyes; the other was sky-blue fabric accented with black ribbons.
The green dress was a design never before seen in Landhill. Rumor had it that banquet gown styles had changed greatly in the capital—this one was light in fabric and elegant, free of excessive frills. The subtly pearlescent material gave it a strangely opulent air.
“You must choose quickly.”
Susan had been stomping her feet impatiently since earlier, watching her mistress gaze wistfully at the green dress. Without a final decision on the dress, they couldn’t settle on jewelry or makeup—and time until the banquet was running out.
“My lady.”
“Yes.”
“Please hurry. I think the green dress would suit you best. How is it that it matches your eye color so perfectly? With the same hue, your face will look much brighter.”
I know, I know. But it’s just too precious.
Ten days after Ines returned home, staff from the capital’s atelier descended upon Swenden Mansion. Though they’d received prior notice from Earl Raymond’s estate the day before, the actual number of people who arrived far exceeded expectations.
After tormenting Ines all day, the atelier’s head finally presented her with the difficult choice of selecting one dress from three designs.
After much deliberation, she passed the decision to Carson Raymond—a polite request, half-convinced he’d never actually choose her dress himself.
Two weeks later, the finished dress was indeed delivered to her home.
Ines repeatedly asked the atelier’s head whether Earl Carson Raymond had truly chosen the design himself.
Each time, the answer was yes.
Though it was clearly meant for today’s banquet, Ines found it hard to bring herself to wear it.
But as Susan said, she couldn’t keep delaying.
“Alright, I’ve decided.”
Ines pointed resolutely to the dress she intended to wear and declared it to Susan. Susan immediately let out a huge sigh of relief and hurried out of the room to prepare everything else.
Ines looked around her room anew.
In the past timeline she’d lived through, she hadn’t attended this banquet. In fact, she hadn’t even been allowed to leave the house—she’d simply sat on the floor of this room, crying all day.
Her father had locked her in after learning of Joseph’s proposal.
And now she realized a painful truth: back then, Susan had been the one to inform her father about the proposal.
This time, too, she’d received a proposal from him, and Susan was still the only one who knew. But seeing Ines’s changed demeanor, Susan hadn’t told her father.
Ines approached the green dress and gently ran her hand over it. Merely touching the fabric calmed her in a way that felt almost unreal. She hadn’t slept well for three nights, thinking of seeing him again.
She had many questions for Carson—what had become of Rena Marierre, and who exactly was her Jason?
Only when she thought of him and earnestly emptied her heart in reverence did she finally feel she was atoning, even slightly, for her sins.
It had been exactly one month. Since she would see him again.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
