I can guess roughly from the positions of the bread, but one or two were confusing.
All the breads seemed to boast their wellbaked, golden brown figures, as if to reassure me that they were safe to eat right away.
Evelia, who was rolling her eyes, first divided the confirmed breads and stared at the remaining four pieces.
Two of them are definitely devil’s bread……
Even sniffing them, she couldn’t tell them apart.
“Undine, where did you put the hot one……?”
[……you forgot?]Undine asked as if she was sincerely absurd.
The delicious breads all went to Hugo, Elysia, and Chef Seto, and the ambiguous two breads ended up being taken by Cedric and Arkan.
The two brothers, filled with emotion as they were given the bread their little sister baked for the first time, fortunately smiled brightly as they took a big bite.
Phew! It seems the bread I gave to my brothers was properly baked!
Watching Evelia’s back as she happily dashed away holding the basket, the two brothers quickly sought water.
“Cough…….”
“Water……!!”
“What is this? Did the baby get angry with us……?”
The two brothers, who realized that the thing stuffed in the bread was green pepper paste, pondered all day whether they did something wrong to their little sister.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]After numbing her brothers’ taste buds, Evelia, who came up to her room excitedly, asked Undine to watch out for the food thief.
She put the basket full of devil’s breads on the table, and also took out the juice made from squeezing lemons from her teddy bear bag.
She knew full well that she would be spanked by her mother if she was found out playing with food, but she felt that she couldn’t live with the injustice if she didn’t pay back the hardships of the day.
Thinking of the food thief eating the bread filled with hot pepper paste, drinking the lemon juice placed next to him because it was too spicy, and then hopping around because it was too sour, she couldn’t help but feel triumphant.
Evelia, who chuckled at the sight of what looked like normal bread and juice, quickly returned to the duchess just before the food thief arrived.
As the sun was setting.
Ludwig, who had finished a hard day’s schedule, walked to the secret base.
Guests had been coming every night lately.
Even though the knights handled most of it, of course, he was not at ease. He hadn’t been able to sleep properly for days.
Rubbing his tired eyes, he opened the door of the cabin to find bread, as if freshly baked, placed on the fancy table.
Feeling the warmth of the bread, he felt somewhat regretful. It seemed like he had just missed someone…
Unintentionally picking up a bread, Ludwig took a big bite and immediately groaned.
“Ugh…….”
Spicy……!
At the taste of the spicy and tingling hot pepper paste that made his head go dizzy, Ludwig hastily picked up the juice that was beside him and gulped down the coollooking juice, only to…
Spout!
He spat it out because it was too tart and sour.
“This damn thief……!!”
He was confident in a battle of wits, a strategic battle. But this petty squabble was a first in his life.
He was more baffled than angry that he had fallen head over heels into the trap of a thief who was only half his size.
When he cut into each beautifully kneaded bread, soy sauce, mustard, and hot pepper paste splattered out. The two normal breads seemed to have been put in by mistake.
The dedication of the land thief who kneaded each of these breads to fool me is truly remarkable.
It seems the princess of this empire, the only one, has quite a strong competitive spirit.
“Just let me meet you.”
But it’s also ridiculous to do something about a child as small as a chick.
So, when Ludwig ate the devil’s bread and juice and showed exactly the reaction Evelia wanted.
Evelia, who had been busily kneading bread since morning, was sleeping a comfortable nap in a room where a gentle breeze came in, hugging a teddy bear.
It seemed that the soup she had fed was heartily satisfying, as a faint smile hung around her lips.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]On a day when a slightly cold wind began to blow, Evelia had been pestering Hugo, Arital, Cedric and the Knights of Arital, following them around, pleading them to teach her how to wield a sword.
“Mother! Mother! Me too!”
“Miss, you’re still too young. We’ll teach you when you’re a bit older.”
I am also of the Arital family. A princess of a family that has high prestige in the empire for their swordsmanship. How can I not wield a sword?
Moreover, it looked so cool when her brothers and the knights were swinging their swords.
“Our little one, let’s learn when you’re about 10 years old. Okay?”
“My brother learned since he was a baby!”
Just as she said, Arital and Cedric had held a sword when they were much younger than Evelia. To exaggerate a bit, they were more proficient at holding a sword than a spoon.
It was heartwrenching for Evelia that her brothers could do it but she couldn’t. She moped around the estate for a month.
Mother! Mother!
The last word she exclaimed as a threeyearold was also ‘Mother!’, and one can imagine just how much she wanted to learn.
And so, the new year.
This year too, Evelia spent a cozy New Year’s celebration indoors, without going outside. She was patting her bloated belly from eating a lot of meat for dinner.
Hugo entered the living room carrying a long something wrapped in fancy wrapping paper.
Evelia, who had been lazily lying in front of the fireplace, jumped up and her eyes shone. Could that long thing possibly be…?
“Unwrap it, little one.”
As Hugo handed her the long package with a smile, Evelia ripped the wrapping paper like a baby lion.
Inside the wrapping paper was a wooden sword, slightly shorter to match Evelia’s height.
“Wow!! It’s a sword!!”
Although it was a wooden sword, it was the first sword Evelia had ever owned.
Evelia hugged Hugo tightly around his neck, so thankful for the dad who gave her the gift she wanted more than any other New Year’s present.
“Thank you, dad!!”
“Swords should always be handled with caution.”
Hugo told Evelia, who was hanging around his neck, as he stroked her head.
He wanted to delay the time his young daughter would hold a sword as much as possible, but it was Elysia who broke Hugo’s stubbornness this time.
‘Eve must learn all the means to protect herself. Don’t lose Eve and regret it, we.’
That sentence woke Hugo up to the cold reality. His daughter was not an ordinary girl. She was a princess of Arital, who could be threatened at any time.
Having already agreed with Elysia to teach her properly if they were going to teach her the sword, Hugo opened his mouth, scanning the knights with his eyes.
“The teacher who will teach Evelia swordsmanship is,”
All eyes of the Arital Knights sparkled. They missed the knight’s position, but they couldn’t miss the position of the swordsmanship teacher!
“Me, lord!! Me!!”
“Move aside!! I am the one chosen!!”
Ignoring the wriggling bodies of the squabbling knights, Hugo firmly nominated.
“Edin.”
The sparkling eyes of the knights went out in an instant.
If it was someone else, they would challenge a duel and try to take the position of the lady’s swordsmanship teacher, but it was the captain. He was not a person but a monster, socalled.
The captains have been in charge of teaching the young masters, so it was natural for the captain to take charge of teaching the young lady.
“I will do my best.”
Edin, who was smiling satisfactorily, was looking at the young lady who was joyously holding her wooden sword that was as tall as she was.
Our little lady is smart, so it seemed like she could teach her easily.
However.
“Okay! Don’t call me little lady anymore! Call me the great lord!!”
The chicklike lady, holding not a real sword but a wooden sword high in the sky, was rampaging, imitating the lord’s tone and expression.
Edin revised his thought.
……It didn’t seem easy.
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.
