Is that statement sincere?
I alternated my gaze between Sir William and Hades.
Though I might look like a government official who is helplessly caught in the middle, the reality was different.
‘That person must be loyal.’
It wasn’t just that he was judged loyal because he spoke right to Hades.
The answer was apparent in Hades’s attitude toward him.
At least in Hades’s eyes, he was an honest and trustworthy person.
That was Sir William.
“Your Majesty, I am not insulting Miss Angelica. I’m telling you that you should be a little cautious.”
Sir William spoke without even taking a breath.
“Besides, isn’t she a stranger? Since when have we taken in strangers without checking their background?”
Hades’s face did not change at all.
“Tobias is a stranger for starters.”
“The guaranteed origin is different from that woman’s case, isn’t it!”
“I have investigated in my own way.”
Hades’s answer was calm.
“It was not different from what she said.”
I could not hide my surprised expression.
He went as far as Keissy to investigate in such a short time?
Sir William still looked unbelieving.
“Is she really a saint?”
“Shall I show you?”
As I suddenly intervened in the conversation, all eyes in the room were drawn to me.
I did not wait for an answer and extended my palm to Sir William.
A white flame rose.
“……She is indeed a saint.”
Sir William reluctantly admitted.
“But shouldn’t a saint have many places to go? She could have entrusted her body to a temple.”
I chuckled inside.
That’s something a capable saint could do.
With such meager divine power, I would be treated like prey wherever I went,
Of course, I had no intention of revealing my weakness, so I gave no explanation.
“The decision of Angel’s residence is mine. Is Sir opposing my decision?”
“Yes.”
Sir William answered with an unshaken voice.
“Your Majesty, have you forgotten how your predecessor passed away?”
“…….”
A heavy silence descended.
Even Hades looked surprised at that remark.
“……Leave.”
Hmm, he seems angry too.
“I cannot leave until you throw that woman out.”
I admit it.
Sir William was undoubtedly brave.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to confront Hades without fearing for his life.
Hades clenched his teeth.
“I won’t say it three times. Go back, cool your head, and think about what you said.”
“Your Majesty.”
Yes…… that annoying voice was mine.
The surrounding gaze turned to me again.
This time, the looks were like ‘What’s with this crazy woman?’
It seems that coquetry is not my forte.
I hid my flushed face in Hades’s arms and spoke with a soft but clear voice.
“Sir William is just worried about Your Majesty. Please don’t be like that.”
“Angel.”
Hades looked genuinely touched.
“Being so kindhearted, how can I not cherish you?”
“That witch……!”
“Sir, are you trying to slander Angel, who even at this point thinks of you first?”
“…….”
Sir William clamped his mouth shut, turned, and left the dining room.
I got out of Hades’s arms, but I could not quit the act.
It wasn’t because Sir William left that the servants left too.
“Your Majesty.”
I looked up at Hades, blinking.
“I’ve lost my appetite.”
“You seem surprised.”
Hades responded affectionately.
“I’ll take you to your room.”
I swallowed hard.
I considered it a golden opportunity to return alone, but I have to show my close relationship with Hades to those around me as I go.
But I couldn’t think of a reason to refuse, so I gave a faint smile.
“I will feel relieved then. Actually, Sir William was really terrifying.”
“There’s no need for that.”
Hades was serious.
“How many in this castle dare to oppose me and remain unharmed? The Duke only talks like that, he won’t actually do anything.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Indeed, there is a maid here who does something, Your Grace the Duke.
I quietly muttered to Hades what I wanted to say, staring directly at the maid in front of me.
“I asked for warm clothes.”
Until now, considering my helpless situation of suddenly living in the castle, I had behaved like a stupidly kind saint, but now there was no need to do so.
In fact, I thought that this maid’s attitude would naturally change since Hades showed how much he cherishes me, but…….
‘Is she brave or foolish?’
Maybe both.
“I looked, but these clothes were all I could find.”
The maid answered confidently.
How can that be?
I sighed and lowered my head.
“What’s your name?”
“……It’s Sola.”
“Yes, Sola.”
Sola has been my attendant since the first day I arrived at this castle.
So, she was the one who had been bringing me thin clothes and rotting food.
Of course, it would have been impossible without the cooperation of other servants, but she was clearly at the center of it.
“Why are you not doing your job properly?”
“I’m sorry!”
Suddenly, Sola knelt down.
I blinked in surprise.
I thought she would confidently assert that she had done nothing wrong, but she suddenly knelt down.
“I have done my best, but it seems that I was not enough for the Lady. Please send me away!”
Huh.
So this is how it’s going to be.
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.
