Having finished the meeting, Hisscliff headed straight to Hwangbi Palace. He asked the attendant walking beside him,
“Is Hwangbi still asleep?”
“I haven’t received any reports of her coughing, but there’s a possibility it was deliberately hidden at Hwangbi Palace. Please continue walking.”
Ignoring the attendant’s words as if he had no intention of going back, Hisscliff continued to walk without responding. However, in reality, Hisscliff wanted to turn around and head to the Prince’s Palace if he could.
‘I’m tired.’
It was his first time leading a meeting alone against the substitutes. There was always Greta by his side, and except for the Crown Prince faction, no one dared to speak against Greta and Hisscliff.
Of course, there was dissatisfaction among Benjamin’s people. Knowing the value of their lives, they stopped complaining and just closed their mouths with discontented expressions. But today, as Hisscliff attended the meeting alone, the substitutes had much to say.
‘Moreover, because of me, they spread rumors that I made a scene at Windsor…’
It was exhausting to see how the Crown Prince faction had become so arrogant. Even in this state, Hisscliff had one reason for heading to Greta’s palace without military protocol.
‘I need to find out what happened.’
Certainly, Greta was the one who harmed Ursian. Hisscliff, who was watching beside her without knowing what to do, was a witness. But in the world, it was known that Ursian harmed herself and attempted suicide. How could such an incident happen overnight?
‘My mother must have schemed something.’
Yesterday, after being chased away by Hisscliff, I need to investigate Greta’s actions. Then the truth would be revealed.
‘But what if…’
Hisscliff’s steps, which were moving as if nothing had happened, slowly came to a halt.
‘What if my mother really did something… What should I do?’
What should I do? What can I do? What am I, after all?
“Your Highness?”
When Hisscliff, who was almost running, stopped, the attendant who had walked ahead turned back and asked with a puzzled voice. Hisscliff either didn’t hear the attendant’s call, or he was staring at the pristine floor without a speck of dust.
‘If my mother’s actions are exposed? But why did Ursian attack in the first place? She said she would make her available for me. Did she plan to betray me? Will she attack me someday as she attacked Ursian? It’s not impossible. If the person who harmed Grandfather is my mother… There’s no way I can eliminate the person Grandfather respected so much. Like when she harmed Hopeland Changebae, just like that… What about me?’
The noise in his head didn’t seem to show any signs of being organized, and it continued to become more terrifying.
Meanwhile, at that moment, Greta was having a dream.
[Help me.]Greta knelt down and spoke.
[I made a mistake.]As she spoke, her whole body shivered to the point where her bones trembled. She couldn’t lift her head at all. She felt like she knew how terrible the expression looking down at her would be. So, Greta stubbornly kept her gaze fixed on the floor.
[I didn’t think that woman would have evidence of the bloodline.] [Why.]It would be better to be cruel, but that was an emotion. However, the words Greta begged and begged for seemed emotionless.
[That’s… because it’s something the royals have.] [You knew. Didn’t you know the information about the Crown Prince’s marriage partner? Didn’t you expect that the Crown Prince would give it to worry about my lover?] […….] [They’re not just lovers. They’ve been connected by fate since they were very young. The Crown Prince, who knew about the existence of you and Hisscliff, who were messing with and meddling in that relationship, is the one who was going to hand over evidence of unused bloodline to protect Windsor’s Lady. Didn’t you really expect that from the Crown Prince?]In a voice that poked at Greta’s painful mistake without consideration, she unconsciously clenched her teeth.
‘It’s been like this since I was young.’
Yurian was always excessively strict with Greta. No, he was a person who believed that he could only sleep well that day if he grabbed even one strand of Greta’s little tail.
So Greta always cowered in front of the man called her father and had to be small. Greta sought love and recognition from Yurian because of his cruel educational policy.
So Greta knew very well what words would come after such criticism.
“If you do that, you’re useless.”
[Heuk…….] [Seeing you still getting punished by your parents at that age, you’re less of a person.]Her heart and mind thinly bleed. Salt is sprinkled through that gap.
[I don’t know why I raised you at all. Yes, when you were young, I thought you could handle one person. But now I know. That was my futile hope. Look at yourself. If I endure and place you in Hwangbi’s position, what will you do?]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.
