He made an interested expression at that. A look he often showed me. He occasionally wore that look as if seeing me, such a character, for the first time.
While it felt like he viewed me positively, there was also an undeniable negative vibe.
“What you’ll handle on your own seems interesting and fun.”
“In various ways. Anyway, I have no intention of leaving the magic tower owner alone.”
“You’re going to deal with the magic tower owner?”
“Even His Majesty the Emperor doesn’t like it, does he?”
There’s no way there could be an Emperor who likes a magic tower owner who wants to control market prices at will.
The magic tower owner continued to exist, and although there were magic tower owners in the past, they didn’t behave like the current ones. So it must be quite a headache for the Emperor.
“I wonder.”
“I’ll get rid of it for you.”
“For me?”
“No?”
“……Very resolute.”
Why I can’t understand why you’re making a slightly disappointed face.
Did you want me to say I would take care of it for you here?
“As I’ve said repeatedly, it’s best not to create misunderstandable situations. All my actions are only for Shasha.”
“Okay, no need to keep saying that.”
“Yes.”
There was a moment of silence between the two. He gulped down the tea I had followed him with and slammed the teacup down.
“I… don’t like clever women.”
“That’s fortunate.”
“……Huh?”
“If you dislike it, that’s a good sign, isn’t it? Us.”
“Indeed.”
“So don’t worry.”
There will never be anything to like about each other.
Finally, he nodded.
“Whatever.”
“There’s something I want to ask.”
“What is it?”
“Didn’t His Majesty the Emperor say he would lend money to the Viscount?”
He seemed to have completely forgotten, as he nodded a beat late.
“He did.”
“How did that turn out?”
“Why. Are you interested in the Viscount?”
“No. I just don’t want to create debt.”
“Debt?”
“Yes. I appreciate that His Majesty is helping me, but then I’m in debt to His Majesty.”
Since the Emperor might later ask for repayment in another form, it’s best to clear the debt in advance.
“Don’t worry.”
“Yes?”
“That’s none of your concern. Since I said it will be done, it will be done. Don’t think of it as debt.”
“It seems the Viscount didn’t erase it or anything.”
I was hoping a little bit. Like the Viscount who felt overwhelmed by the Emperor making the marriage void, or a Count couple who returned the money.
I expected a rat’s worth, but poop is poop.
They would never return it.
‘Well. Even if the Viscount had asked for it back, the Count couple would never have returned it. Shasha is absent now, so they must be in a miserable state.’
I thought the Viscount might have refused because he felt uncomfortable receiving the money back from the Emperor, but it seems that wasn’t the case.
“I will pay it back later.”
“By what means?”
“……Somehow……”
I hate it when it becomes an issue later.
“Don’t worry. I plan to get that money back.”
“What?”
“It seems I’ve said all I need to say today. I’ll take my leave now.”
That was the end of it. The emperor rose abruptly from his seat, as if afraid I might continue the story.
“I enjoyed the tea.”
“Ah… Are you leaving?”
“Wish you could stay longer? Unfortunately, you’re not to my taste.”
“You’re not to my taste either. I just asked out of politeness, so don’t worry about it.”
“……Let’s not talk about not worrying.”
With a click of his tongue, he quickly turned his body.
“Your Majesty?”
“Details will be conveyed through Barom. Notify me in advance when you’re ready to go to Matap Province, and I’ll have a carriage prepared.”
“Yes.”
That was the end of it. The emperor left, looking highly dissatisfied, and I shook the empty teapot.
“Eating like a hippo. He finished it all.”
He drained it all while having just one cup. Did he always like tea that much? I stretched myself out, pondering.
The first task was set since I arrived here. Matap Province. It’s time to punish him.
(This is a time marker.)
A few days ago, the emperor had sent various pieces of information through Barom.
Upon receiving them, I immediately scheduled an appointment with the Governor of Matap.
And today has arrived.
“Sister… Are you going to Matap?”
“Yes!”
“Ah…”
“I’m sorry that I have to go, even though I said I wouldn’t need to anymore. But after today, there’ll be no more need to go, until Shasha wants to.”
At my words, Shasha seemed to reluctantly nod her head.
I feel really sorry for Shasha, but I have to take her with me. Today is the day to strike, so Shasha must come.
Only with Shasha present will the Governor of Matap reveal his true colors.
“It will be fine.”
“Yes. Don’t worry. I’m with you.”
I finished preparing to leave, watching Shasha smile. Some of the emperor’s knights were to follow our carriage, in case of emergencies, including the twin knights, Ron and Ken, whom I had only heard of.
“We’ve had no occasion to greet you properly.”
Upon boarding the carriage, they bowed their heads simultaneously.
They gave off a mischievous twin vibe. They only sat down after we were seated.
“I was curious about who you were.”
“We wanted to greet you, but His Majesty commanded that we don’t enter if there’s no business.”
“He told you not to enter the Star Palace?”
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.]
