Yurisien looked up at him, resting her chin on his chest. Benjamin couldn’t resist her adorable appearance and kissed her. After a moment of affectionate kissing, Benjamin, holding Yurisien’s waist, asked.
“Shall we do as we please together?”
“What?”
“It’s easy; I’m already the emperor with a fulfilled purpose. Windsor is no longer needed. Besides, the Windsor Duchy completely recognized you as the heir, even conferring the title.”
What on earth is he talking about? When Yurisien’s gaze became slightly cold, Benjamin, still hugging her, whispered.
“Even if I kidnap you, who will chase me?”
“…What?”
When Yurisien asked back, Benjamin, still hugging her, fell with her in his arms.
“Ahh!”
Surprised Yurisien screamed, but Benjamin just laughed happily. Contrary to Yurisien’s expectation that she would fall to the ground, she felt no pain even if she fell. Instead, a somewhat cold wind brushed her cheek.
“Your Majesty…?”
When Yurisien cautiously opened her eyes, what she saw was the vast night sky.
“What the heck?!”
Startled Yurisien quickly wrapped her arms around Benjamin’s neck. Benjamin, floating effortlessly, hugged Yurisien even tighter. Touching her cheek with his lips, Benjamin, who looked a little surprised, said.
“I’m going to kidnap you. I’ll take you to the most beautiful place in this land that God has purified, and I’ll make sure you have the most enjoyable time. You should be comfortable every moment without any troubles, hardships, or difficulties. Since I’m a very bad kidnapper, I’ll clear away everything that disturbs your rest.”
“Ha… Even if it’s a marriage with Your Majesty?”
Yurisien thought Benjamin would retract his words. However, her expectations took a pleasant turn.
“Yeah. Even if it’s a marriage with me. Now that I know that your comfortable laughter is more precious to me than any institution.”
Since their reunion, the two had not spent a single moment idly. Now it was time for them to spend such moments. The time left for them was finite but incredibly long, and they would never be disturbed. In response to Benjamin’s firm voice and words, Yurisien laughed heartily.
“Sure, okay. Windsor will be turned upside down when they find out I’m gone… Yes, I have the command authority. If I don’t request support, who dares to violate my standby order?”
“Good. It’s a nearly correct answer from the person being kidnapped. I’ll leave greetings for you to stand by after arriving, don’t worry about yourself.”
Benjamin chuckled and held Yurisien even tighter. Yurisien, who understood his words perfectly, tightened her grip on his arms because she liked how Benjamin understood her.
The two floated for quite a while. During that time, they passed beneath countless stars, and they even witnessed the late night turning into dawn. It seemed like there was a distant view of the sea.
Moving solely at the discretion of Benjamin without any prior information, there was not even a trace of fear. They did not know where they were heading yet, but it didn’t matter. Even if they got lost along the way, it was okay. After circling through the vast time, the two who finally reunited.
Closing her eyes while observing the dawn of the bright morning, Yurisien thought,
‘As long as I’m not alone anymore, with Benjamin now, we will find a way no matter where we go or whatever happens. Together with everyone.’
The end.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
