“Straw dolls…?”
“What. What’s wrong? As a crown prince… I did.”
Ludwig, who was stammering in embarrassment, tried hard to gather his dignity and made a strict expression.
Shaking off the dust on his hands as quickly as he could.
He had never been so bound to something since he was born.
Ludwig was confused.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“Your Majesty. You can walk a little slower….”
“What are you talking about? We can’t keep the envoy, who has been working hard for a long time and has returned, waiting.”
Although his heart was beating quickly, Ludwig walked in small steps, trying hard to suppress his emotions.
His expression, as he hurriedly walked in his formal attire, was as calm as usual, and no one else noticed his anxiety.
When the emperor and Ludwig sat at the top and permitted the audience, the members of the envoy entered the audience room and paid their respects.
Evelia, who was walking with a jingle in a purple dress that stood out among the dark formal attires, attracted quite a bit of attention.
‘Ah, it’s a food thief!’
As Evelia’s eyes met with Ludwig, who was sitting at the top, she raised one hand to greet him as she had done in her secret base.
‘Oh, watch out for your neck.’
Aware of the emperor and the envoy members, she put it down politely, as if she was trying to scratch an itchy cheek.
Noticing this, Ludwig stifled a laugh, and Evelia stealthily shot him a glance as if telling him not to laugh.
The emperor spoke in a kind voice.
“I heard you returned late last night. I fully anticipate that the journey’s fatigue is not yet fully recovered, but I can’t wait to hear about the achievements of the envoy.”
“The achievements are not insignificant. There were matters I urgently needed to report, so I deeply appreciate that this place was prepared.”
In an official setting like now, the relationship is not between friends, but between a sovereign and a subject.
Hugo, who responded with utmost courtesy, handed over a thick report that he had prepared the night before to the attendant who had been standing next to the emperor.
The emperor took it and turned over a few pages, then let out a deep sigh.
“Duke. When did you write this?”
“I wrote it last night.”
“Weren’t you returning last night?”
“Yes. Is there something wrong?”
“…Live a little more humanly, Duke.”
After returning late last night, the way he calmly handed over such a thick bundle of papers was befitting of the title of the empire’s workaholic.
“There’s nothing more to ask here. I’ll read it and we’ll meet separately.”
“Please do.”
Carlisle’s gaze slowly scanned the envoy members.
“Now, everyone has wo…..”
He intended to say that everyone had worked hard. But a pair of sparkling eyes that unusually caught his attention were visible. They were glaringly bright that he couldn’t overlook them.
“Hmm. Before we conclude. Does the princess have anything to report separately?”
Hot, my turn! Evelia stepped forward as if she had been waiting and smiled brightly.
“It’s an honor to have a chance to report to you directly, Your Majesty.”
“Indeed, our princess also achieved a great deal, right? Tell me in detail about what you did as a member of the envoy.”
“Are you not busy, Your Majesty?”
“I must find time to listen to the princess’s story.”
How could he overlook the princess’s report when the Duke is glaring with his eyes so wide open?
Carlisle’s gaze turned to Hugo. The longtime friend of the emperor nodded as if it was only right.
Evelia described in detail about the things she had particularly enjoyed eating in the Harubenta Empire, the natural garden, and so on.
“To raise the prestige of the Arcadia Empire, I directly presented a tribute to the Emperor of Harubenta.”
“The princess? What was it?”
“A snake I caught in the garden. The Emperor was very pleased to grab the snake’s head.”
‘It’s strange? I heard that the Emperor of Harubenta is afraid of snakes? Did our princess not present a tribute, but rather cause a disturbance…..’
“I also made friends! Ishat and Adniel. Both are the same age as me, and they are adorable cowards who are very scared of snakes and ghosts.”
‘The Crown Princess of Harubenta is rumored to be a general, a coward? Did the princess not intimidate the Sword Master, the Great Demon, and the Dragon…..’
She also bragged about advising those friends, earning money, and making a mess of the imperial palace corridor by falling over while sprinkling salt on the floor.
The story told with clear eyes and a refreshing voice gradually enchanted the ears of all the bureaucrats present, including the emperor.
For them, what was filled with politics and struggles was fresh as a place where a child could make friends.
After Evelia’s boast that lasted for a while ended, the emperor asked the delegation with a hearty laugh.
“So, it seems like the delegate who achieved the most is the princess, right?”
“Me?”
The delegates affirmed by deeply bowing their heads.
What Evelia brought back was a person.
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.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
