Yurisien looked behind and felt dizzy at the sight of the sprawling red rose garden in front of him. The massive bouquet of hundreds of red roses was so large that the person behind it was completely obscured.
“A lady of the Stuven line’s invitation is quite difficult to come by.”
It was surreal, as if the massive bouquet was speaking. However, the man calmly stated that holding such a large bouquet wasn’t particularly difficult.
“It’s fortunate we are a party of four; it will be just perfect if we all go.”
His voice, low yet captivating, made the cheeks of the four startled women redden. Among them, Yurisien’s heart raced the fastest at the sound of that voice.
“Your Highness?”
The person behind the massive bouquet and the voice that appeared with spring was none other than Benjamin.
As Yurisien guessed his identity, Benjamin peeked his face out from behind the hundreds of red roses and smiled splendidly.
“Hello, Yurisien.”
His affectionate voice was so full of love it was undeniable.
“Ah, ah… I present to Your Highness, the daughter of Duke Calypso, Edna.”
“Ah, my, look at me. I greet Your Highness! I am Yeriel Volbon Geldar, the daughter of Count Geldar.”
“Ah, er, oh, uh, um, I greet Your Highness! I am Adel Jinjerian!”
The young women quickly stood up to greet him. Yurisien also hesitantly rose from his seat. Benjamin handed the massive bouquet to a man with grey hair beside him. Despite his black pupils, he oddly reminded one of a cat.
Whether or not the young ladies greeted him, Benjamin took the prettiest and freshest rose from the bouquet given to the grey-haired man and made a small bouquet right in front of his nose, even tying it with his own handkerchief!
“Have you been well?”
His rich voice matched perfectly with his bright appearance, even more radiant than a confluence of chandelier lights.
His golden hair seemed like the embodiment of the most pleasant afternoon sunlight and melted away, and his green eyes, which only looked at Yurisien from over his glasses, resembled this garden in spring.
“Ah, yes…”
Yurisien took the bouquet, feeling quite flustered. After all, Benjamin was more considerate and affectionate than he had thought.
‘Today is a bit over the top.’
He felt slightly embarrassed by the man who acted as if they were the only two people in this place. Especially since the other young ladies were still greeting him.
Yurisien recalled the most princely greeting he could think of and reluctantly turned to introduce his former friends.
“Your Highness, allow me to introduce you to Lady of Duke Calypso, Lady of Count Geldar, and…”
“Jinjerian, was it?”
Benjamin caught Yurisien’s drifting words and locked eyes with Adel, who was staring at him dumbfounded.
“Pleased to meet you.”
No introduction was necessary. The position of the Crown Prince spoke for itself. With his perfectly balanced arrogance and politeness, Adel’s heart beat uncontrollably.
‘Ah, he smiled at me!’
The Crown Prince, who had reportedly been convalescing in a temple for 15 years, was literally the man of her dreams.
Benjamin, unconsciously casting a sweet gaze at Yurisien that any woman would desperately want to be the recipient of, was undoubtedly a man any woman would fall for. And that man’s smile was directed at her.
Not the eldest daughter of Duke Calypso or the youngest daughter of Count Geldar, but at me!
In that moment, Adel’s mind was filled with one thought.
She might not just become Lady Stuven but could possibly become the Crown Princess.
‘Me, the Crown Princess… the Queen!’
Her body trembled with excitement. Adel, remembering Lady Stuven’s praise for her beautiful smile, tried to speak to Benjamin, but…
“Where is Jinjerian, by the way?”
Benjamin’s words halted him. For a moment, he was breathless. Yes, Benjamin still didn’t know he was a commoner. Even so, Benjamin leaned in and whispered to Yurisien.
“Do you not have a middle name? Are you born of a concubine?”
Though it was a whisper, Adel wondered why it was so clear to her.
To nobles, a middle name signified legitimacy, usually inherited from an ancestor. Therefore, Benjamin, the son of the empress, had the middle name Ludwig, whereas Hiscliffe, born of the empress consort, had none.
“Damn Windsor!”
Soon, Yurisien would expose each of Adel’s flaws. The truth that she was a commoner and that her name, Jinjerien, was given by Edna.
“Ah, that’s…”
Yurisien hesitated to answer, as if aware of Adel’s tangled thoughts.
“Cunning Yurisien, cruel Yurisien! Witch-like Yurisien!”
Adel cursed inwardly. It was hard to look at the face ignoring her.
How much is he mocking me? How much does he pity me? I’ve lost myself among the nobles and even presented a fake name to the crown prince.
Adel was trembling when she heard it.
“Adel is a commoner! The surname Jinjerien is made up. She has red hair, doesn’t she?”
The words Adel feared most came not from Yurisien but from Edna beside her. Startled, Adel looked up at Edna.
“E-Edna.”
“Why?”
“Um… No, never mind.”
Adel found herself speechless.
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.
