“What are you talking about?”
“Yes, that’s right. Indeed, we are different….”
“I was talking about her too.”
“…”
“…”
After a moment of silence, Keychef nodded as he interpreted Giovanni’s words on his own.
“Well, I guess to the prince, everyone except himself seems complex. Am I not also complex?”
“What’s bothering you?”
“Why are you doing this to me?”
In the end, Keychef made a distressed expression. Giovanni, who had smiled and lifted the corners of his mouth, now casually swung the long, slender sword unique to the kingdom.
Although he swung it lightly, the sound of the wind accompanying each movement of the sword was impressive.
“But yes, saying she’s strong isn’t wrong.”
“…”
“Quite clever.”
“Even if you throw me, I’ll survive well.”
“That woman will win.”
“…”
“Hmm, this sword is too light.”
Keychef stared blankly as Giovanni put down the thin sword and swung the broadsword again.
“But suppose things go wrong, and she ends up in prison? If she promised support because she thought the woman could help the prince, it would be useless in that case.”
Swinging the hefty sword slowly towards the empty space, Giovanni responded.
“I don’t think that will happen, but if it does.”
The sword stopped moving. The tip of the sword aimed at the sun in the sky.
A faint murmuring flowed.
“I won’t leave her alone.”
Swish.
After retrieving the broadsword, Giovanni looked at Keychef with a sly expression.
“Keychef, I like her.”
“Yes…, uh, yes? What? Who is she? Which woman are you talking about?”
Many sought to obtain his seed under the prophecy of imperial glory. Even the Khan of Dovrakan, Giovanni’s biological mother, did so.
He had shocked his supporters by declaring that he liked men, causing panic among them, treating him like a prime horse. But now he had made a bombshell declaration that he liked a woman!
Keychef’s eyes, which had nonchalantly responded, widened as if they were about to pop out.
“Her? Who? What kind of woman are you talking about?”

A person with the right qualifications can apply for a trial, but it should not proceed without clear evidence being prepared.
“What does that mean?”
“Yes, we will summon a new witness.”
Aris, instead of crying, raised her head suddenly.
A witness? Her mumbling lips were clearly visible. Seeing the face that showed disbelief, I inwardly chuckled.
“Yeah. There definitely were no witnesses when Lady Emelene died.”
Seeing the eyes quickly change to a distrustful look, suspecting that I was lying, I secretly smiled.
“But what I want is not just the accusation of Lady Emelene’s murder.”
“Is it a pre-arranged witness?”
The judge’s sharp eyes gleamed. I nodded. Following the judge’s gesture, the detective opened a side door arranged on one side of the judge’s bench.
A man who came in with the guidance of another detective was nervous.
Aris carefully examined the face of the frightened man.
‘Who is he?’
His face seemed to say that.
“Do you know the playground for nobles?”
The reactions of the people varied at my words.
Commoners were puzzled, while those who knew something widened their eyes.
“It’s a high-end tavern located on the outskirts of the lively entertainment area. This man is an employee there.”
The judge, who received the witness application from the detective and confirmed it, nodded.
“But what does he have to do with the current case?”
“People who recently used this tavern felt something strange. The quality of the food deteriorated compared to before, and the cleanliness was neglected, with dust accumulating in corners. There were even days when the place was not operating at all.”
Some nodded in agreement.
As my words continued, I enjoyed watching Aris’s face, which turned paler with each passing moment.
“All because the tavern owner was murdered.”
“What?”
Due to my indifferent tone, the voices of people’s shocked surprise sounded even more dramatic.
“Witness?”
As the detective spoke, the trembling man tore at his hair.
“He asked me to cooperate!”
“What does that mean? Did he conspire in the murder of the tavern owner?”
At the judge’s words, the man, shocked to the core, raised his hand.
“It’s absolutely not like that! It’s not that. He asked me to cooperate with using the shop… I had no choice. Seeing him end up like that, I was so, so scared. I tried to escape with my colleague, but that man… killed my colleague…”
In extreme fear, he seemed almost incoherent.
Continuously fidgeting around, he grabbed the detective’s wrist and pleaded.
“Please save me. If that man comes, he’ll kill me too.”
“Who are you talking about?”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
