I, Sien Mirmod, bear the title of Mirmod but am just a child. Although my Upper Rank threatens Yoter Count’s Upper Rank, whether I am a fake or not is not such a big deal for the Crown Prince.
Instead, touching me might clearly offend Mirmod’s pride.
‘But why is he so urgently trying to push me away? What did I say?’
As I glared at him with pursed lips, the Crown Prince’s lips subtly curled upwards.
“Handle it immediately.”
As soon as the Crown Prince finished speaking, the soldiers began approaching to grab my arms. I glared at them, biting my lip.
‘If I’m taken like this…’
I might be detained, or they might cast a spell on me.
I recalled my dad’s innocent face.
“Now, let’s go.”
However, even as the rough-looking soldiers approached, and even when one of them finally lifted me up roughly, the relief pitcher, my dad, remained in the dugout.
I glared at the soldier holding my arm.
“I am Mirmod. Don’t touch me!”
At the mention of Mirmod, one soldier flinched for a moment and stepped back. It was an obvious thing, but when the Crown Prince spoke,
“What are you all doing? Isn’t that child just a fake?”
By his words, I was nothing more than a ‘fake’ in this place. The soldier, who was cautiously watching me with an uncomfortable expression, reached out towards me.
“Come.”
It was slightly less menacing than before. But that was enough.
‘Dad will come to rescue me. Definitely.’
With a spirit to drag out time a little longer, I pressed my body firmly against the chair.
“Get up!”
As the soldier’s breathing became rough, just as his hand was about to touch me…
Finally…
With the sound of the door clanging open, it quickly swung open. Frozen in their tracks were not only the Crown Prince and Count Yoter but also all the noble jurors.
“…Duke Mirmod?”
The atmosphere chilled to a freezing point.
Except for me, who had been quiet.
I squinted my eyes and looked behind.
With round eyes, a trying-to-be-cold expression, and even a mouthful of pretending to be tough, it was our dad’s familiar face.
In the end, as I expected, my dad had arrived to rescue me.
Dad vigorously pretended to have a fierce expression, furrowing his eyebrows.
Upon this, the Crown Prince raised his body with a sly grin.
“What’s going on? We’re in the middle of a trial.”
“Crown Prince, what kind of mischief are you up to? Detaining my daughter in the courtroom.”
“That’s .”
“You seem prepared to confront Mirmod head-on.”
The once chilly atmosphere grew even colder.
Internally, I cheered for Dad.
‘Our dad, really?’
His gullible appearance seemed to have disappeared, and he looked like a chilling villain. It seemed the effort to turn him into a villain had paid off!
Daringly, a noble showed arrogance to the prince. This was undoubtedly an assertive move.
But Dad was Mirmod. Moreover, there was a crime of hastily referring Mirmod’s daughter to a quick trial by the Crown Prince.
‘Prince, how on earth are you going to get out of this situation?’
Bringing the daughter of the Mirmod family to the courtroom was, in a way, meddling in the family’s affairs.
I looked around with an intrigued gaze. Then, Dad spoke sternly to the guards surrounding me.
“Everyone, get lost.”
Dad’s chilling voice made me flinch.
‘Dad, looking very much like a villain!’
It seemed like I wasn’t the only one who felt that way; the soldiers who were about to grab my arms started to flinch.
I looked at Dad suspiciously with wide-open eyes.
But when Dad met my gaze, he looked extremely tense and then opened his mouth again.
“S-so, what I mean is. How dare anyone do something like this to my daughter.”
‘One who wears a mask inside finds it outside!’
Dad slightly slipped in his words!
Dad’s vulnerable side seemed to stand out a bit, and in a tense state, I looked around. Fortunately, it seemed like everyone flinched. I tried to hide my smile and looked at Dad again.
But…
‘Dad’s face has turned cold again.’
It was a bit puzzling.
Right now, Dad, intentionally, seemed to stumble in his words to look like a fool.
‘It must be my imagination. There’s no way it could be true, right?’
I glanced at the courtroom after clenching my fists. Nevertheless, except for the slight stuttering in his speech, Dad had perfectly fulfilled his mission, so now it was the Crown Prince’s turn.
‘Let’s handle the Crown Prince first.’
I shifted my gaze away from Dad and looked at the judge’s seat.
The expression on the Crown Prince’s face in the judge’s seat was a spectacle. The distorted expression, muttering with a distorted expression, was undoubtedly the face of someone whose plans had gone awry.
But soon, wasn’t the Crown Prince’s face brightening up?
‘Surely there must be another puppet hidden.’
I stared at him intently and observed the trembling girl. Then, the girl rushed towards Dad, shouting rapidly.
“Dad! I-I was really scared!”
However, Dad…
“You’re not my daughter.”
“……I’m really your daughter.”
Dad froze his expression coldly, as if he had no empathy at all.
“No. You’re not my daughter. Just a scammer who made my daughter, Sien, shed tears.”
He emphasized it twice. I raised the corners of my mouth and barely managed to suppress my laughter.
However, the trembling girl, who seemed to have no place to retreat, widened her eyes and shouted defiantly.
“What are you saying? I am really Matthias’s daughter! Matthias is being deceived by the fake right now!”
“What are you talking about? I am truly Matthias’s daughter. Matthias is being deceived by the impostor right now!”
‘She’s overflowing with confidence to an unusual extent. What if Dad intervenes in that confidence?’
Dad was on the emotionally weaker side. I looked at Dad, clenched both fists, and sent a sign of encouragement.
After meeting my gaze, Dad, as if nurturing the desire to weaken like a fool, put on a composed expression. Then, he turned cold once again.
“Can you prove that statement?”
“Of course. A genuine paternity test kit purchased directly from the Yoter Upper class can prove it!”
“Just the Yoter Upper class dares to tarnish Mirmod’s daughter by claiming she’s fake?”
As soon as I heard Dad’s chilling voice, I sensed something odd momentarily.
‘Dad looks too much like a villain!’
Even the Crown Prince seemed unable to counter, and there was a sound of reluctance.
‘Why is the Crown Prince turning the tables on our dad?’
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.
