“A contract with Silian Salmon to protect me until the day I desire, and a powerful relic that simply by existing, continually emits your strong power.”
That was it.
Having already decided to follow Cesenia’s lead, Silian transformed back into his human form. He whispered softly, almost murmuring into the air, and particles like dust sparkled, condensing into his hand.
“I, Silian Salmon, make a heart’s contract here.”
Silian reached out his hand towards Cesenia.
“I, Silian Salmon, will protect Cesenia Vestel with my life until the day she desires. In return, Cesenia Vestel will protect me and Pepe Salmon to the best of her ability. This is a heart’s contract, and breaking it will bring death.”
The contract was complete. A red mark appeared on the back of both their hands.
“A contract risking death… quite a sad agreement.”
Knowing yet, Cesenia felt a pang of discomfort in her heart.
“This contract, sworn in the name of the gods… it’s like the only sin left by our god who loved humans too much. It’s hardly romantic, considering the situation. It’s like a story about your god and my god.”
“A story about the god of Lowick and the god of Salmon?”
“A boring tale. And the relic you spoke of…”
Before she could finish, Silian clenched and then opened his hand. A pocket watch with a sandglass inside emerged.
“This is…”
“Just something that came to mind. I thought I had to make this at the moment. When the sand in the hourglass completely shifts, divine power will emanate. This should be a good enough excuse.”
“An excuse, huh. It’s enough. But why a pocket watch with a sandglass?”
“Just… It just came to mind. Maybe it’s touched by divine will. I just thought of making it.”
“There’s no such thing as a perfect coincidence. When it’s all over and looking back, it becomes clear that everything falls into its rightful place at the right time. Instinctively, I feel this incident is not a coincidence but a necessity.”
“That’s good. I really like this object.”
“You know what’s strange?”
“What?”
“Salmon’s god and you are similar.”
“What’s that mythology?”
“A boring myth. There’s a myth that nobody wanted to know. And in that myth, the god of Salmon, who was particularly human-like, is just like you. Annoyingly so.”
“Complaining after I’ve said it, what’s there to feel bad about? Anyway, just take it to the temple. Then you and your sister will be safe.”
That was the end of it. Silian had already transformed back into a dog. Cesenia placed the relic around his neck, and after a moment of looking at her, Silian, like a sulking dog, sharply turned his head away.
“Are you upset?”
Silian didn’t respond to Cesenia’s question. He just left the place in the shape of a noticeably upset dog.
“Why is he upset?”
However, Silian didn’t answer and left, leaving Cesenia looking at him in disbelief before closing the terrace door.
“Still… finally accomplished something.”
That was enough for her. And that’s why she felt more drained.
The tasks begun out of revenge were overwhelming and burdensome. She acted nonchalant, but it couldn’t have been easy.
Until now, she had been just a human living through the flow of time, experiencing ordinary everyday life.
Therefore, her hands trembled, and worries about what to do if she couldn’t do it properly, the anxieties, made her even more stressed. She sometimes thought it would be better not to do anything, or perhaps it would be better to leave far away to avoid such events in the future.
The humiliation from her husband, the betrayal of her trusted family and only friend. Thanks to the great gift of oblivion given by the god of oblivion, whenever those emotions faded, Cesenia would repeatedly vow.
Even if her revenge failed, even if the worst happened, she would take away their future.
She made such vows today as well and forced herself to close her eyes.
A few days later, the temple contacted Cesenia.
They wanted to greatly reward Cesenia for finding the relic.
“A relic? Did you do such a thing, Cesenia?”
The Count of Vestel couldn’t hide his surprise at his daughter’s unexpected action.
“You did that?”
“No way!”
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.]
