“What a surprise.”
As Ian expected, Nayson, who had been in front of the bookshelf, was right in front of his nose.
“You say you’re not surprised, and then you react like that. By the way, what happened to your face?”
“What’s wrong with my face?”
So brazen and composed, Nayson almost doubted whether he was the only one who could see the clear bruise on his face.
“Isn’t there a wound on your face? I’ll call the doctor right now!”
“Nayson.”
Ian’s quiet call stopped Nayson, who was bustling around.
“Yes, Your Highness. Just give me your command.”
“You don’t seem to be in a hurry, you.”
Nayson, who had neatly clasped both hands together, smiled slightly.
“Did I make it that obvious?”
“And this is just a little injury from sparring, so there’s no fuss needed.”
“A wound on Your Highness’s face, there must be an incredible talent in the Knights.”
“Yes. A talented individual.”
Nayson immediately thought of Gabriel, who had a warm impression and good appearance. It seemed like Ian wanted to show his presence, and Gabriel, the commander, was the one.
‘Indeed, Commander Gabriel is as talented as his reputation.’
“He must be really strong.”
“……A strong person.”
When he thought of the duel with Rosebelia, a smile naturally flowed. The sensation of clashing real swords instead of training wooden ones was several times more vivid.
The moment he crossed swords with her, tension and a strange thrill swept through his body.
He couldn’t remember the last time he was so immersed in something.
If the payment for a duel was just this small wound, it was rather trivial.
“You still need to get treated.”
Ian was about to raise his hand to his cheek but hesitated. He recalled Rosebelia’s hand, which had touched his face without hesitation.
When her hand touched his cheek during their spar, he was quite surprised.
Too soft and gentle for the hand of someone who wields a sword.
‘How can the hand of a person who consistently holds a sword be without calluses, so soft?’
“Is that possible?”
“What?”
“Never mind.”
Ian, who had been massaging his forehead as if confused, suddenly scowled.
‘But why was I angry?’
He couldn’t quite pinpoint the reason, but what he felt at that moment was clearly an unpleasant and stifling emotion.
Ian looked down at his hand.
‘Her hand was really small too.’
He had noticed her small hands at the square before, but for some reason, he kept thinking about those tiny hands.
“Was it about this size?”
When he clenched his hand as much as possible, it became about the same size as Rosebelia’s. The small size caught Ian’s eye once again.
Both hands and stature were so small, yet her presence was greater than anyone else’s, which was again fascinating and wondrous.
“Your Highness, are you in pain?”
‘In pain?’
When he recalled her worried expression, his heart seemed to tighten for a moment. Even when he loosened his uniform button, the suffocation up to his throat didn’t disappear.
“Leave the remaining documents on my desk and go home, Nayson.”
Breathing slowly and pressing his chest, he soon felt fine again, as if nothing had happened.
“But treatment… Then I’ll just leave the medicine and go.”
“Thanks.”
Ian, pressing his heavy eyelids slightly, sat down in the chair as if waiting for the sound of Neison’s footsteps to fade away. He then carefully examined the documents that Neison had been organizing.
“Ed?”
Ian’s eyes briefly trembled when he found the name Ed in the documents.
‘Are you sleeping at the dorm today, Ed?’
Edwin Holton and Rosebelia Winters.
When looking into information related to her in order to confront Rosebelia, the first thing he found out was that the two were close friends.
‘Then we’ll go first, newbie.’
“We, you say…”
Recalling the sight of the two, walking close enough for their shoulders to touch, Ian suddenly felt a surge of strength in his fingertips. It was a small and weak force, but the pen he was holding was broken.
“Why is this broken? Is it an old pen?”
Ian, looking down at the broken pen with a stunned look in his eyes, soon rummaged through the drawer and picked up a new pen.
[Star Icon]The drawing room was quite warm. The crackling sound of the logs burning in the fireplace had never been so pleasant to hear.
Olivia had to choose her breath several times, feeling as if a hum would naturally come out.
“Did you tell Rosebelia?”
“I think finding a good partner is a blessing for Rose, too, but do you think differently, brother?”
“Not that, but…”
As Dylan trailed off, Olivia slightly pulled up the corner of her mouth and smiled. She leisurely flipped through the documents handed to her by Dylan, one page at a time.
“I knew you’d think the same as me, brother. Besides, there seem to be quite a few suitable husbands in the empire.”
“Is that so?”
Dylan asked with a faint smile. He had been selecting potential grooms at Olivia’s request to find a suitable marriage partner for Rosebelia.
Starting with Linart Ilizer, who was considered the top groom candidate in the current empire, he had included good candidates for a husband.
As Olivia went through the pages, picking relatively inferior candidates for marriage, her hands were smooth.
“I think this man is appropriate.”
Dylan’s eyes briefly trembled. The one Olivia had chosen was the eldest son of a playwright, placed at the very end.
“There are many better groom candidates, so why choose him…”
“Is that so? I think this man seems fine.”
Olivia looked intently at the portrait, a satisfied smile appearing on her lips.
“Is there a specific reason why you chose this man?”
“This man? Why?”
Was his name David Collin? His appearance was fairly decent, but…
“David Collin is rumored to be strongly biased towards women.”
It was clearly noted in the documents, so she must have chosen him knowingly.
“It could be because he looks good that such rumors circulate. Many women admire David Collin, and they may have maliciously spread such rumors to eliminate competitors.”
“……Olivia, do you really have to do this?”
Olivia’s smiling eyes hardened faintly.
“Oh, brother. If someone who doesn’t know hears this, they might think I’m intentionally doing something bad to Rosebelia.”
“From what I’ve found, it doesn’t seem to be an absurd rumor.”
He had included David because he was the son of a playwright and still unmarried. There were many good marriage prospects in the front pages, so Olivia’s choice of David from the very last page was unexpected.
“It doesn’t seem so bad even if it’s true, does it?”
“Olivia.”
“I think Rose would be wellsuited to an experienced man. Someone who has been with many women can lead Rose well.”
“But…”
‘I should have never included him.’
Dylan regretted it belatedly, but Olivia seemed to have made up her mind.
“Please make sure to invite him to Kaiden’s birthday party, brother.”
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.]
