After vomiting water several times, Angelica finally came to her senses.
“Tha, that, sword…….”
For a moment, an emotion he couldn’t understand struck Hades.
She almost died, and she’s looking for a sword.
But since he wasn’t the type to ignore the wish of someone who almost died for him, Hades pointed to Angelica’s left side.
“I brought it.”
“……Thank you.”
A faint smile appeared on Angelica’s face.
“You’re not hurt, right?”
“No.”
“I’m glad.”
Hades gritted his teeth.
There were many things he really wanted to say.
Are you in your right mind, what if you had died, if you think I’ll be pleased by this, you’re mistaken…….
But none of them were words that could be said to someone looking pale and on the verge of death.
“……Let’s go up. You need to see a doctor.”
There was no answer.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]‘……I’m dizzy.’
I rubbed my eyes and tossed and turned.
How I ended up in this situation slowly came back to me, but it was no comfort at all.
Because my body was so unwell that I wanted to fall back asleep.
My stomach was churning, and my whole body was sore.
‘I haven’t felt like this since the gargoyle’s curse…….’
I opened my eyes, but all that came in was a blurry vision.
“You’re awake.”
“……?”
I must have heard something wrong.
Otherwise, Hades Croitner wouldn’t be watching over my bedside.
Hades spoke calmly.
“The doctor strongly insisted that you must rest for a while.”
“……It’s terrible.”
What was more terrible was my voice. It was cracked and sounded grotesque.
Hades didn’t show any particular reaction to my words.
Perhaps just confirming that I was awake was enough for him, and he was about to leave his place.
“I’ll go now.”
Why?
Even now, driven by an inexplicable, irresistible impulse, I found myself reaching out to grasp the hem of Hades’s garment.
No, at least I tried to grasp the hem.
What actually came into my hand was…
‘…Finger?’
Hades’s long and firm finger was completely entwined with the tip of my finger.
I swallowed my dry saliva.
My heart began to beat wildly as if it would let go at any moment.
But I didn’t want to let go.
Because the warmth that was conveyed through the fingertips was precious.
Because Hades’s warm hand told me that I was not in that dreadful water.
“Just… stay with me a little longer.”
I managed to say.
“I am your favored subject, after all.”
I couldn’t see Hades clearly yet, but I knew he was wearing his distinctive mocking expression.
But perhaps out of sympathy,
Hades sat back down beside the bed without showing any particular emotion.
“Yes, you are my subject.”
He said calmly.
“I’ve never heard of a subject protecting a monarch in any country.”
“…”
I clenched my mouth shut.
I was already in pain, and I didn’t want to hear Hades’s scolding for acting foolishly.
“Never… do that again.”
Why?
I felt something desperate from Hades.
“I saw Your Majesty fighting.”
I replied quietly.
My throat was too sore to speak loudly, after all.
“I thought the castle might fall.”
“Even if it did, my knights would have evacuated you.”
“But what about Your Majesty?”
My vision was now completely clear.
Clear enough to see Hades’s face directly.
“Only Your Majesty can protect me to the end.”
Hades looked more tired than ever before.
The tips of his hair were scorched, and bandages were wrapped around various parts of his body.
But nothing could erase the fact that he looked stronger than anyone I’d ever seen before.
“I wouldn’t have died.”
“I guess so.”
I agreed with that.
Hades would rather become corrupt himself than die.
“But you might have ended up in a state worse than death.”
One thing was for sure.
If I hadn’t met him, maybe. But now…
‘I hope he doesn’t become corrupt.’
Somewhere spiteful, and somewhere cold, I hoped Hades would not change.
He appeared to use me, then begged not to be used himself. I hoped he wouldn’t become the villain of this world.
I wanted to stay by his side, continually.
“A state worse than death…”
Hades chuckled.
“Holy Maiden, nothing is more precious than life. Value yours more.”
“I wasn’t talking about myself.”
I whined, but my strength was completely depleted, and my eyelids drooped.
Was it an illusion?
Just before falling asleep, I thought I heard Hades’s soft voice.
“Value it for my sake too, you… mouse.”
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.]
