Furthermore, being a person who unites the practitioners more with a gentle disposition than outstanding skills, he especially showed a more affectionate attitude to me, who was significantly younger.
“Yes, ambassador. Come in.”
It just happened to be that time, and I seemed to roughly know why he came, so I accepted his offer without hesitation.
I had been using the room alone. Normally, two disciples of the academy share one room, but because I entered, the number of female students in the academy became odd.
Because I was mentally unstable when I first came in, they let me use the room alone so that no one would provoke me, and it had stayed that way.
Anyway, using the room alone was comfortable in many ways. Starting with the fact that anyone could come in as long as I allowed it.
The brother who came into the room first helped me with my hair, as he had just said.
“When you get a little bigger, you can use a hairpin to fix it, and it won’t come loose.”
“I just want to cut it short.”
Like other martial arts worlds, this country also adheres to Confucianism, so regardless of gender, everyone grows their hair long as if it were natural. However, some brothers in the temple occasionally cut their hair short.
“…Well, that’s a bit.”
Of course, only the brothers. All the sisters had long hair.
I swallowed a sigh inside at the sound of the ambassador hesitating to dissuade me.
‘Unfair…….’
Since it was a time when a woman with short hair, unless a nun, would receive strange looks, it was an inevitable problem.
Only then did we sit down with a tea table between us. Then, I looked at the empty tea table and suddenly fell into thought.
‘Should I bring out the candy that Ryu brother gave me earlier?’
I realized only now that I had never brought in tea utensils because I had no use for them, so I had nothing to offer even when someone came like now.
“Shall I get you some water?”
“No, it’s okay. Instead, I brought some candy. Would you like some?”
The ambassador took something wrapped in paper from his belongings. I recognized what it was and couldn’t help but laugh.
It wasn’t that it wasn’t, but it was exactly the same type of candy that Ryu had given me earlier.
“Ha Sung said you like this.”
I see. He didn’t talk to me but looked at me, but he must have been telling everyone else here and there…….
“Thank you. You have some too, brother.”
It felt like I had said the same thing earlier in the day.
Anyway, the ambassador nodded his head happily, seemingly pleased that I took care of him too. And when we each had eaten a piece of candy, he got to the point.
“Actually, I only heard today that there was a problem between you and Ryu. I’m the ambassador, so I should have noticed earlier and taken action, but I only found out after everything was over. I’m sorry I couldn’t play my role in time.”
I shook my head, swallowing what I had been chewing.
“I feel like I’ve heard too many apologies today. You don’t have to apologize, ambassador. I made up with Ryu.”
“……Huh.”
I don’t know what part of what I said made him laugh, but the ambassador suddenly burst into laughter, bowed his head, and began to shake his shoulders.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Oh, no.”
With trembling lips, as if trying to stop laughing, the ambassador spoke in a voice that still had not lost its laughter.
“Yes, I’ve heard that you’ve reconciled. Do you think things will go well now?”
“Yes, well… Ryu brother seemed to have suddenly realized the way.”
“That’s a relief.”
With that, he burst into laughter again. I narrowed my eyes for a moment, but since everyone has different things they find funny, I just let him laugh as much as he wanted.
After laughing for a while, the finally calmed down ambassador asked a few trivial questions. Was the training going well? Did I miss the master? Things like that.
After continuing with such trivial conversations for about half an hour, the ambassador checked the position of the moon outside the window and then got up.
“It’s time for you to sleep now. You’ll grow tall if you sleep early, and you’ll be able to train hard tomorrow. Right?”
“Yes, brother. Good night, brother.”
“Sure.”
He lightly stroked my cheek with a smile and completely left my room.
In the suddenly quiet room, I knew the outside air would be cold since it was early winter, but I opened the window anyway.
The cool air quickly filled the room, but it didn’t feel bad.
Anyway, the problem was solved well.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
