Evelia stuffed various items into a large backpack as a gift for her devil friend and waited for the carriage.
The housewarming gifts she prepared included her favorite fairytale book, her most cherished chick doll, the softest tissue, and the most comfortable slippers.
So, she appreciated the thought, but these were all things completely unnecessary for Arital.
“What’s that?”
“It’s a gift. It’s customary to bring a gift when visiting someone else’s house.”
Enril, who had been nodding, transformed into a human form and picked up two candies that were haphazardly rolling on the floor. He didn’t plan to give away anything precious as a housewarming gift like his sister.
‘How lovely. She only gave me a scrap of paper for an invitation.’
Herold, Alec, and Caron decided to follow Evelia. They each picked up a leaf, an empty can, and a chestnut. Even the candies were precious.
‘How lovely. They didn’t even give me an invitation.’
A servant came running to inform Evelia, who was playing in the front garden by stepping on the dry leaves, that a carriage had arrived outside the Duke’s estate. His voice was somewhat flustered.
“The carriage… it… the carriage has arrived, but…”
The servants of the Artina duchy, all thoroughly trained, rarely openly expressed their emotions, so stuttering like this in front of their master, Evelia, was an exceptionally unusual occurrence.
“It arrived?”
“Well, it doesn’t seem like a regular carriage… you might need to go out and see.”
‘What’s all the fuss about? A carriage is a carriage.’
Evelia, the knights who thought as such, and Enril had to retract their thoughts as soon as they faced the carriage.
“Good heavens would scare the heart out of a dragon.”
Despite Alec’s exclamation, no one had the mind to reprimand him. Only Enril’s ears perked up.
“…It seems like he sent a house, not a carriage.”
“Is that devil sane?”
Wasn’t a carriage something just big enough for a few people to ride in, with four wheels underneath, and two horses at the front to pull?
The black object made from ebony, which only grows in the forests maintained by the elves in the far west of the continent, had a deep luster.
It was so large you could believe it if someone told you it was a house. Large enough for three knights, a dragon, and Evelia to roll around in.
Inside, in addition to chairlike seats, there was also a child’s bed that Evelia could lay in.
Within arm’s reach of the bed was a cooler filled with chilled orange juice. Even a fireplace with a crackling fire, in a carriage no less.
There had never been a carriage like this before. Was this a house or a carriage? It was a revolution of carriages.
Even Evelia, who was accustomed to the carriage of the Artina duchy, which was considered the most splendid, couldn’t close her mouth.
“It looks like the rabbit has gone mad!!”
Everyone agreed with that statement, so even though Evelia used such rough language, which was not in line with the etiquette of the nobility, no one pointed it out.
“Our lord sent it. Please get on, miss.”
Our lord’s wealth is so impressive. So much so, it’s beyond human imagination. Perhaps it even exceeds the total assets of this empire. The demon, Raum, guided her politely with a proud expression.
‘Miss…?’
Hearing the title, Evelia’s face instantly reddened. Her plump cheeks were covered by her small hands. The effect of the title was remarkable.
‘Miss. He called me miss. Not baby, but miss!’
Unlike her usual self, who would playfully hop onto the carriage, Evelia awkwardly accepted Raum’s escort, who held his chin up high and lowered his body, placing her hand lightly on his arm.
“I am Evelia of Artina Duchy. It would be a perfect day for a tea party in the garden, wouldn’t it?”
Not so. In this early winter weather, if one were to enjoy a tea party in the garden, it would be difficult to distinguish whether the liquid passing through one’s throat was tea or blood.
It was clear she was doing her best to imitate the adult nobles’ greetings that she’d heard for the first time being addressed as ‘miss’.
Detecting this, the devil Raum and the servants of the Artina Duchy could barely contain their imminent laughter.
“Shall we go, miss?”
“Hehe. I like being called miss. No, really, it’s a beautiful carriage. It looks like a walnut that’s fallen off a tree, ripe under the morning sun.”
Evelia, who had been giggling awkwardly, quickly composed her expression and made an absurd comment about the carriage resembling a walnut.
Even though she didn’t have a fan, her hands were fluttering back and forth as if she did.
‘It is death to laugh.’
‘If I laugh, I’ll get hit by the lord again.’
‘She is our young lady… My master…’
Herold, Alek, and Caron each dug their nails into their thighs and thought about the most challenging training they had gone through.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Evelia’s reaction to the mansion’s exterior was not much different from when she faced the carriage.
“This mansion was built under the direct order of the lord.”
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.
