“Like all curses, one’s own will is crucial.”
If Yurisien wishes to break free from the curse, it will be easily lifted. However, if not… Jorge reassured Urgen, who had an expression as if everything before him had turned white and dizzy, not to worry too much.
“It will be over if you put pressure on her.”
“What?”
Urgen asked, but instead of answering, Jorge brought a visibly anxious Benjamin standing nearby. Then, Benjamin and Yurisien held each other’s hands tightly and closed their eyes. The white aura spreading from Jorge’s heart flowed through his shoulders and arms, entering the two.
Zap, zap!
“Ugh!”
Static electricity randomly jumped from Jorge’s hand holding Benjamin. Benjamin, feeling the uncomfortably warm sensation almost like being burned, tightly closed his eyes.
Zap, zap, ting!
Electricity continued to spark incessantly. Benjamin, even while thinking about the burning feeling in his hands, used all his strength not to push Jorge away. If it were him who had to endure the pressure that Jorge was putting on Yurisien, he would have to endure it. Sweating coldly, he felt the sticky sweat on his tightly closed eyes.
“Ugh…”
His spine became taut. It was so hot, now even his hands were intermittently convulsing.
How long did he endure?
During the seemingly eternal time, the electric stimulation that tormented Benjamin relentlessly slowly subsided. Now, he couldn’t feel any sensation at all, as if the unbearable pain had numbed him.
‘Is it okay… Did I really endure it?’
Trying to grasp his consciousness that had become hazy due to the prolonged pain, Benjamin opened his tightly closed eyes. Along with that, Benjamin focused his eyes.
“Where?”
Because he had tightly closed his eyes, the now brightened view was dazzling, but there was little concern for such a situation because the place he was standing was not Yurisien’s bedroom.
“Ben?”
A voice was heard from behind. It was a familiar voice. It was a dearly missed voice with a scent of perfume. Turning his head so fast that the wind sound was heard, Benjamin stared stiffly at the person standing behind him. A woman with a violet shawl on her shoulders, covering her mouth. She asked with a trembling voice.
“Ben… Ben! Oh, my goodness. Is it really you? My beloved son, Ben! Is it really you?”
“…….”
“Ben! Ah, Ben!!!”
The woman grabbed her green hem and rushed forward. Then, she hugged Benjamin, who was standing still. It felt both familiar and strange with the scent of a dearly missed person and the scent of someone unfamiliar.
“Ah, Ben… Ben…!”
The person crying with her face buried in his arms was the mother of Ben, the deceased empress.
“Whew, it was almost a disaster.”
Jorge wiped the sweat off Benjamin, who lay on the extra bed brought by the servants.
“I thought the imperial lady would not wake up alone and would need the help of the imperial prince, but I didn’t know his highness would respond so quickly to the lady’s curse.”
“Then, is it because his highness, the imperial prince, fell due to the curse?”
“Rather than falling victim, it’s more accurate to say he dove in.”
“Dove in?”
“Yes. So his highness, the imperial prince, will receive less influence from the curse, and he will also be able to have a conversation with the lady.”
“The external pressure you mentioned earlier…”
“That’s what I was talking about.”
Jorge laughed lightly. Even so, Urgen couldn’t let go of his worries. To Urgen, who anxiously alternated between worrying about Benjamin and Yurisien, Jorge reassured that everything would be fine.
“It will all be fine. Since his highness, the imperial prince, lost both parents and came to the temple for treatment, I know exactly how he has lived from then until now, and I understand every step he took.”
“….”
“His Highness, the Crown Prince, is not someone who will easily succumb to anyone or anything. He has always accomplished what he intended to do. The Lady of the Court is no different, is she? So, the two of them will open their eyes soon.”
“I hope so, but…”
“It will happen without fail. Since I will be here to guard, why don’t you take a short rest?”
“Well…”
“Seeing the weakened state of the Lady due to her father’s condition will make her feel more guilty about the curse.”
Upon Jorge’s words, Urgen had no choice but to go and rest. He thought it would be fine since Daisy and Calli were still there. After Urgen left the room, Jorge nodded in acknowledgment to Daisy and Calli. Daisy, who had been fidgeting, quickly bowed her waist, and Calli quietly lowered her head.
“It seems both of you have more worries than you let on.”
“Ah, well…”
“That’s probably true.”
While Daisy was busy fidgeting, not knowing what to do in front of the Pope, Calli, unlike her, responded somewhat bluntly. As a member of the Copradore Guild and having encountered Jorge a few times, she was able to do so. Jorge looked at the two, who showed respect to Windsor, with satisfaction.
“But now, everything will be fine.”
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.
