“Yes, the Crown Prince knighted it, saying that it took the Prince’s sword bravely. It was framed in gold to commemorate the Prince’s kindness, who showed interest even in the lowest in the palace while knighting a loyal being.”
“……Ah, yes.”
“All the palace servants look at the straw doll and pledge to follow its example.”
My goodness, what is this?
Without realizing, a groan escaped Evelia’s lips. It seemed there was not a single sane person in the palace.
It was impossible for the food thief to sincerely consider the straw doll as special and knight it.
Yet, the straw doll, with its status elevated simply for being knighted by the Crown Prince, was truly dignified in its golden frame.
‘The food thief must have been caught doing something else and pretended to knight it out of embarrassment.’
Evelia knew her childhood friend quite well.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]A heavy roll of parchment was flung onto the desk. Below it, the Crown Prince’s seal was boldly imprinted.
The edge of the desk where the remaining documents had been placed was all cleared, and the front of the desk where the processed documents were placed was full.
“It’s done.”
With a refreshed expression, Ludwig turned his neck and promptly rose from his seat. Having heard that the land thief had visited, he had hurriedly only dealt with urgent matters, which was twice as fast as usual.
“I’ll go now. I’ll handle the rest tomorrow.”
“Hold on a moment, Your Highness.”
Count Ert, who had been assisting, quietly took out another roll of parchment from behind.
“Just do this one and it’s done. This is also quite urgent.”
“……Alright.”
Though the image of his friend, the land thief wandering alone in the palace, lingered in his mind, he was still the Crown Prince. It would not do to neglect his duties in any situation.
Thud.
Ludwig, who had read the document quickly, stamped his seal.
“Then now……”
In front of Ludwig who was about to rise, another new roll of parchment was timidly placed.
“Your Highness, just process this one and you’re done. This is also an urgent issue……”
“Is this really the last one?”
Thud.
As soon as he stamped his seal, a new roll of parchment was silently placed.
“Your Highness, this is really the last……”
“Count. Are you joking now?”
“I thought you wouldn’t process it and leave if I gave them all at once……”
“Do you think I would do that? Give them all to me before I really leave. I’ll process them all and go.”
Count Ert, who had been subtly checking, sheepishly took out the roll of parchment he had hidden behind him.
“……These are all urgent matters.”
There was a new pile of rolls of parchment as large as the ones he had already processed. Ludwig restrained himself from wanting to hit Count Ert’s head with the rolls.
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“……”
The sound of rustling parchment reached the ears of Count Ert who had been lowering his eyes. He sneakily looked up, thinking that the Crown Prince might be processing the documents.
“Your Highness! Are you running away right now?”
“I wouldn’t call it running away. Let’s just say I’m taking a break.”
Ludwig, threading his arm through his coat, turned his gaze sideways and spoke. His steps out of the room were swift.
“That’s not allowed!”
Although he tried to reach out, he couldn’t dare touch the royal body. Count Ert was left alone with the rolls of parchment, calling out to his Lord in a desperate voice.
“Your Highness! Your Highness! This is truly urgent! Your Highness!”
“In that case, make sure you handle it thoroughly.”
“Your Highness!”
The faster he called, the faster the Lord’s footsteps became. It didn’t look like he was thinking of coming back at all.
This is why I gave him one roll at a time! He said he would process them all and go, so I gave them all at once!
“I knew you’d do this!”
The Earl of Ert, his patience worn thin, shuffled his feet timidly. He didn’t trust His Highness. He had learned that trusting anyone in the palace made one a fool, yet he had made the same mistake again.
“When will all this be dealt with?”
Standing in front of the scroll, the Earl of Ert sighed heavily. It was then.
Squeak.
“Earl, where is His Highness going and what are you doing alone?”
A cheerful step and violet hair entered. To the Earl of Ert, it was no different than the coming of a savior. It seemed as though there was a halo shining behind Icrian. The Earl’s eyes sparkled.
“Oh, has Young Officer Kasis arrived?”
The Earl of Ert walked cheerfully towards the door with a bright smile.
“Why are you looking at me with that expression and walking like that?”
“His Highness the Crown Prince has left a message for Young Officer Kasis.”
“From His Highness?”
Hem, hem. The Earl of Ert, clearing his throat, mimicked Ludwig’s posture and tone, speaking arrogantly.
“Young Officer Kasis, I have an urgent matter and must leave, but the scrolls left here are urgent, so please finish them all today.”
“……Did His Highness really command that?”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
