The birthday party of the Duke of Kasis had come to a close due to the ill fate of the Miros mother and daughter, yet the Duke did not feel remorseful.
His original intention to ‘see the faces of the Duke and the Duchess’ had been successfully achieved, and it seemed like his wish for Evelia and Rellian to become good friends was also coming true.
The only remaining emotion was a sense of regret for Evelia, who had experienced a major incident at his birthday party.
So, the Duke pleaded earnestly with Hugo to stay a little longer until all the followup was completed.
Thinking Evelia needed to calm her shock by spending time with Rellian, Hugo readily agreed.
Thus, at that moment, the five children, along with Hugo and Elysia, were resting in the guest room personally prepared by the Duke.
The Duke had prepared a mountain of sweet desserts for the surprised Evelia.
Sitting in a chair warmed by the bonfire, Evelia was enjoying her desserts, but whenever she thought about what had happened in the garden, she would let out a ‘hoyang…’ and sob a bit, then clear her nose, pick up a dessert, and continue eating.
“Our child, are your legs okay?”
Arkan asked gently.
“Eve, I’m sorry I couldn’t run faster…”
Rellian, who had tried to charge at the demons following Arkan with a branch in hand, said with a crying face.
“Eungum, thank you, Rellian. Very dangerous. Don’t…do that again!”
Relying on a branch, Evelia sternly warned Rellian who had recklessly rushed towards her.
Evelia had clearly seen it. The timid Rellian, with his face flushed and his eyes wide open, was rushing towards her.
But it was certain that if Rellian had arrived before Arkan blocked Dantalion, he wouldn’t have been safe.
Even in a lifethreatening moment, the two children worried about their new friend first. Such innocence made it possible.
Their brothers once again ignited their resentment towards the Duke of De Fongte.
Even if they inherited the heir’s position, they would never be friends with De Fongte.
On the other hand, unlike the warm atmosphere in front of the guest room fireplace, a blizzard was blowing right in front of the door.
“Didn’t I tell you to stay quiet at the Duke’s house?”
Hugo asked in a fierce voice towards the mutts who had defiantly left the Duke’s house and intruded the Duke’s house.
“No, my Lord! You said not to enter the Duke’s house, not to stay in the Duke’s house!”
Harold replied with a clear, innocent expression as if to say, ‘We didn’t do anything wrong!’
“……Are you trying to play with words with me now?”
“I apologize, my Lord!”
Knowing from experience that it was best to bow in these situations, the Knights bowed their heads 90 degrees and apologized.
“I should have driven them back to the north again…”
Hugo, who was about to say something, wisely gave up.
They were knights he had raised for more than 20 years. If they were the type to listen to words, they wouldn’t have been driven to the North in the first place.
Despite their chaotic appearance, they were reliable when it counted.
Moreover, they had shown the other nobles the bravery of the Artina Knights by charging into the Duke’s house today, so he felt like letting it slide.
After the urgent followup was completed, the Duke asked Hugo and Elysia to come to the reception room, and the children were ushered to a small yard behind the Duke’s house.
The Duke poured the best liquor he had been saving and handed it to Hugo.
“I regret not properly managing my guests and causing a great trouble to the Princess. It was my negligence, Your Highness. I sincerely apologize.”
His expression was grave.
“……It was bound to happen someday. Eve’s ability was fully revealed in the Imperial Palace two years ago.”
Hugo downed the potent liquor in one gulp and replied.
Rellian! There! There…! Rabbit! Rabbit!
Wow! It’s true! It’s the first time I’ve seen a rabbit in our garden!
No! Don’t do that! You shouldn’t do that! You fools!!
As the sun set and the magic lights illuminated the yard,
Excited shouts of Evelia and Rellian discovering a rabbit were heard, soon followed by voices trying to stop the Knights who seemed to be running to catch the rabbit.
Hugo and the Duke heard this and tilted their glasses again.
Children were much stronger than adults thought.
To Evelia, who was not always frail, and to Rellian, who slowly opened his heart upon meeting Evelia, their fathers were simply thankful.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Evelia had barely managed to stop the knights, who were rushing to catch a white rabbit, by shouting “You fools!”
If the giant troop of knights thundered ahead, the rabbit would surely flee far away.
With her hands firmly on her waist, she put on a stern expression and said,
“I’ll do it myself! It isn’t about catching the rabbit! It’s about observing it from a distance!”
Having chided the knights, Evelia ventured into the bushes to find the rabbit.
Male lead Asks for a Divorce Every Day
It’s not often you come across a plot like this in the female-dominant genre — make sure to check it out!
This is a novel I’m planning to reread as well.
The male lead is strong, skilled in martial arts, and not the usual fragile type you often see in matriarchal novels.
Meanwhile, the female lead is a scientist—rational and logical. Even when she falls for the male lead, she doesn’t let her emotions cloud her decisions.
If you push through the first few chapters, you’ll gradually find the story really intriguing.
It has a mix of mystery, detective elements, and romance.
The author’s writing style is like crafting a puzzle—except they deliberately leave out a few pieces, making it hard to predict what happens next, yet keeping you hooked.
In the end, everything will come together and be explained.
One-sentence summary: Wife, stop playing with beakers and look at me!
In a laboratory accident, research scientist Zhu Wansheng accidentally travels to a matriarchal world. The original owner of the body is an eighteen-year-old only daughter of a wealthy rouge merchant, already married with a handsome young man.
Zhu Wansheng grins: Nice! She always said she was heaven’s favorite granddaughter. After a life of toil in her previous life, she can enjoy blessings in this one.
However, her joy lasts no more than three seconds as bad news arrives: the original owner’s family is about to go bankrupt, and her husband wants a divorce.
Even worse, she’s stuck with a research system full of restrictions.
Zhu Wansheng: ? Is this the destiny of a research dog?
——
Faced with this mess, Zhu Wansheng pours herself a bowl of wine to drown her sorrows. In her drunken haze, her husband arrives.
His figure is imposing, holding a long sword, with a dignified air that captivates Zhu Wansheng.
Gu Yingqing, however, looks at the alcohol-reeking Zhu Wansheng with undisguised disgust and coldly asks, “Divorce or not?” The intoxicated Zhu Wansheng mumbles vaguely, “I think… it’s not… it’s not… impossible!”
——
The next day, after sobering up, Zhu Wansheng is full of energy, rolling up her sleeves ready to make a big move. As for yesterday? She has no memory of it.
Zhu Wansheng is ambitious; a research dog fears nothing!
Upgrading rouge, extracting fragrances, producing perfumes, researching lipsticks… all shall bow to the power of modern technology!
The original owner’s dying rouge shop is revitalized. Her mother is pleased and with a wave of her hand, passes on the family business to her. As she takes control and her experimental results gain popularity, it’s the pinnacle of her life…
——
But there are always those who can’t stand to see her doing well. Jealousy, scheming, assassination attempts – they want nothing less than her life.
The person who has always kept his distance from her suddenly holds her tightly in his arms, eyes full of concern.
She is unharmed, but he falls into a pool of blood…
Zhu Wansheng feels guilty, “I can grant you one wish.”
Gu Yingqing tentatively circles his arms around her, carefully resting his head in the crook of her neck, pleading softly, “I regret it. Can we not divorce?”
Zhu Wansheng: ? When did I agree to a divorce?
[Small Theater]
The newly developed rouge is beautifully packaged, and Zhu Wansheng is eager to try it.
Gu Yingqing suddenly appears: “My lady, may I apply it for you?”
Cool fingertips lightly brush her lips. His Adam’s apple bobs as he leans in for a light bite.
Zhu Wansheng: ?
Gu Yingqing: It smells so good, I wanted to taste it…
On a warm spring day, Zhu Wansheng tries a new perfume: “Spring Night.” Gu Yingqing corners her against a wall.
Warm breath lingers on her neck.
“My lady, from now on, may I test the fragrances for you?”
