“……What?”
Yuri Hsien doubted her ears for a moment. What had that dangerous wolf wearing an innocent sheep’s mask just said?
“Mar……ry?”
“Yes. You heard correctly.”
Yuri Hsien became more confused because of the guild master, who was watching with a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
“Are you……crazy?”
These words just slipped out. The guild master burst into laughter.
A moment later.
“No.”
Yuri Hsien refused flatly. The guild master, who had been crossing his arms, now leaned on his cane and spoke crookedly.
“Are you choosing a husband? Is this the situation for that? Didn’t you fail to trace the marriage covenant? Is there a way?”
Yuri Hsien was momentarily choked with emotion, but she swallowed the rising feeling. Then she shot back at the guild master.
“Yes. I kissed His Highness and proposed but ultimately failed. Satisfied? Is your hobby of digging into other people’s wounds a bit fulfilled?”
“Wait. What did you just say?”
The guild master, who had been relaxed all along, was suddenly flustered.
“Who did you ki……ss?”
He asked with a hollow voice, as if he couldn’t believe it. Yuri Hsien found it a bit absurd that the guild master didn’t know about her first kiss, which other nobles had openly watched. At the same time, she felt a subtle thrill that she had given that man a piece of her mind.
“You said we failed to trace the marriage covenant.”
“That…….”
“So, I had……no cards left.”
It was an admission of an unwelcome defeat. Yuri Hsien bit her lower lip hard. For some reason, she didn’t want to talk to that man about this.
“Damn.”
The guild master cursed so quietly that Yuri Hsien couldn’t hear, and his face was full of disappointment.
‘Was this what Mitchell was going to tell me?’
Just before coming here, Mitchell, who had whispered in Ivan’s ear, urgently grabbed Benjamin.
[Your Highness, there is something you need to know!]But Benjamin thought that nothing could be more important than reuniting with Yuri Hsien and came straight here.
Benjamin wanted to slap his forehead loudly if he could.
‘I’m doomed.’
That’s all he could think. So this was……Benjamin’s mistake.
The marriage covenant that Yuri Hsien worried about so much had been burned a long time ago. But he deliberately didn’t tell Yuri Hsien. Because then she would be afraid of the marriage covenant and marry me!
However, there was one thing that Benjamin, who had foreseen all of this, had not thought of, and that was Yuri Hsien’s stubbornness.
He knew from their pen pal relationship that she was a gentle and honest person, but he didn’t know how far a person cornered by losing Ulrgen in the past three years could go.
Yuri Hsien was extremely rational to the point that she was a tough person to overcome herself.
‘I never thought that damn child would propose again.’
And Yuri Hsien was more conservative and oldfashioned than expected.
‘Why would you kiss that stupid kid? There are more than one or two men who turn their heads to connect with Windsor and shine their eyes!’
It’s all because of the appearance preferred by the Helzereon Empire. Even if Yuri Hsien considered herself unaffected by physical characteristics, she had been unknowingly brainwashed.
My appearance is not a preferred appearance. So unless it’s Hescliff, no one will marry me. Even though I’m carrying Windsor, the prestige has been greatly reduced because of the Kendall mothers……and so on.
Benjamin was furious. But the person he was most angry with was himself.
In fact, he could have just told her honestly.
‘I have abolished the marriage covenant. But I don’t know who is behind it, or how they might act again, so let’s get married. That’s what I could have said.’
In the future, even if they divorce, they need to maintain their position for now, persuading her was a piece of cake. Later, if there’s no problem, he planned to change his words and just live like this, since divorce would harm the family.
In the meantime, “I had the confidence to make you love me.”
It was for a pen pal in the first place! Knowing that the one Yuri Hsien loved was another, I tried to use it to tempt.
But Benjamin did not reveal it honestly. With himself in front of him, he tried to annoy a woman who had loved a strict man for 15 years and devoted her loyalty because he was angry and resentful.
“The result… has led to the worst.”
I couldn’t open my mouth because I was ashamed of myself. But Benjamin had no more time to waste. In order not to repeat this again, he knelt on one knee in front of Yuri Hsien.
“Princess. I… made a mistake.”
Yuri Hsien, startled by the suddenly polite tone, opened her eyes wide. Until now, his tone had been so bad that she only felt disgusted and didn’t know exactly.
This voice.
“It’s similar to the Crown Prince.”
It was an absurd thought, but it really was.
“I… didn’t hear about such… a thing. I came to see you in a hurry, without checking. It’s my fault.”
“Wh, what… all of a sudden? Don’t be silly. Get up.”
“No, I have something to say to the Princess.”
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.
