Anessa responded nervously.
“Yeah. I don’t plan on taking her with me. Anyway, I could have bewitched her and made her disappear later!”
“Do you think that’s possible?”
“She’s just a child. If you give her candy…”
“She’s not just a child. Although she’s young, she’s quite clever. Maybe even smarter than you. You can tell just by the fact that she’s a rival to Yotter Viscount, who runs the upper echelons.”
“Adults probably helped her!”
“Even so, Anessa.”
Seeing Princess Anessa’s wounded pride, the Crown Prince patted her on the shoulder like a parent.
“While I may not know our exact goal of making the Mirmode family’s head a puppet and securing it in the palace, we must eliminate whatever or whoever stands in our way, be it a child or anything else, as quickly as possible.”
Anessa fully agreed with those words.
“Sienne Mirmode and Matthias Mirmode are thorns in our sides, yes. After that…”
“…Our desired future will unfold.”
They looked at each other, smiling.
For their goals, the elimination of Sienne Mirmode was absolutely necessary.
“But, Brother, it seemed like Sienne Mirmode was quite fond of that family.”
“It might seem that way now. But blood is thicker than water.”
“Why the cliché?”
The Crown Prince clapped his hands like applauding.
At that moment, the attendants waiting outside seemed to have been on standby, and the white door opened.
And… a small girl entered, stumbling inside.
It seemed like she had just come out of some slum in the alley, emitting a slightly unpleasant odor from her body.
Princess Anessa, who no longer wore a social mask, asked, pinching her nose.
“What’s with this rotten smell?”
“The real daughter of Matthias Mirmode, like I mentioned before.”
Come to think of it, if you looked closely, she had a surprisingly similar face to Matthias Mirmode.
Messily cut black hair, unevenly, but sharply cut bangs. However, a hazy yet chilly gaze and a sharp jawline were different from the alien pink hair of Sienne Mirmode. Upon closer inspection, even the hair color was exactly the same as Matthias.
“Yeah… She’s the real daughter.”
As Anessa nodded, the Crown Prince approached the child.
“We’ve completed the kinship test.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yeah. Anessa, thanks to this child, our plan will succeed.”
“Is this child sent from the temple?”
A satisfied smile appeared on the Crown Prince’s face, and he gently approached the girl standing next to him.
“Yeah, Melodia sent her.”
“Can we trust…”
When Anessa expressed a slight doubt, the Crown Prince’s complexion harshened in an instant.
“What nonsense is that? She’s wise and elegant. There’s no way she could be wrong. Instead of doubting, perform your role properly. That way, you can avoid what you don’t want.”
Listening to the Crown Prince’s words, Anessa silently nodded.
“I also trust Melodia.”
“Yeah, trust Melodia. Because thanks to her, we have Matthias’s real daughter, right?”
A satisfied smile was drawn on the Crown Prince’s lips. While gently stroking the hair of the five-year-old girl standing next to him, he nodded quietly.
“This child will now become the center of our plan.”
The Crown Prince knew Matthias Mirmode very well.
So he scoffed at the fairy tale that Matthias loved Sienne circulating in the world.
It was Matthias Mirmode himself.
Such a person could not love anyone. Sienne Mirmode was just being used because she was quite attractive. So…
“The plan is perfect.”
…And so, according to the Crown Prince’s plan, Princess Anessa appeared in this place.
Recalling Melodia’s calculations, she entered the Mirmode Mansion.
In truth, she had secretly considered bringing only this child inside by crossing the wall.
Considering Matthias Mirmode’s attitude was more stern than expected.
However, surprisingly, Matthias allowed her to enter. The reason is unknown, but for her, it was a fortunate event. Whether Matthias currently thought of her negatively or not, she was going to be the benefactor bringing Matthias’s ‘real daughter.’
Finally, in the enormous central square of the Mirmode Mansion.
Holding Princess Anessa’s hand, a small girl appeared between them.
Despite likely growing up well in the palace, she seemed pitiful to anyone who looked at her.
And strangely, the appearance of the small girl with black hair in a wall bun somehow reminded one of someone.
People passing through the square couldn’t help but glance at her.
Princess Anessa, Viscount Yotter, attendants, and the girl stopped in front of the fountain in the central square, where the most people were passing by.
“What, what is happening here?”
“Isn’t that Her Highness the Princess?”
“Is Her Highness the Princess here to participate in the Mirmode family’s ?”
There was a reason for choosing today.
Today was the day of an event where many nobles were circulating within the closed Mirmode Mansion.
It was also a day when Matthias Mirmode, residing in the mansion, was performing official duties.
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.
