The allure of the fairy tales of Ecrian was more effective than expected.
Evelia often spent time visiting the Duke of Casis and playing with Lelian.
Even Ecrian sometimes gave her homework to fill in the blanks in a book of sayings or proverbs for the education of Evelia and Lelian.
“Proverbs are so confusing.”
Evelia was lying on the rug in the secret base hut, filling in the blanks.
“I know this one! An eye for an eye! A tooth for a tooth!”
“No, it’s a life for an eye, a life for a tooth.”
Ludwig, who was quietly reading a book next to her, answered.
‘Is it a call to kill them all.’
Evelia ignored him and moved on to the next chapter.
“An enemy… um… what comes next?”
“You don’t need to know what comes after. If you have an enemy, just bring them to me. I’ll get rid of them.”
Agares, who was worried that his small friend might be cold, answered while throwing a fire from the side.
Evelia sighed and closed her homework notebook.
They were no help at all.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]So began the early days of being six, a still chilly spring wind blowing.
The yellow pajamas with a chick drawing that she used to love wearing were suddenly too short, exposing her ankles, and needed to be replaced with a new pair.
Evelia woke up in the morning, brushed her teeth and washed her face with Vivian’s help, then ran to the mirror.
After a while of looking at her reflection in the mirror, she grinned a mischievous smile, flung open the door, and called her knight.
“Caron! Caron! Measure my height!”
“Didn’t we measure it yesterday?”
“Today is different! I’m sure I grew! I saw it in the mirror!”
The loyal knight who was standing flawlessly in front of the door accompanied the small master who asked to measure her height almost every day to the firstfloor reception room.
On one wall of the duke’s reception room, where they had been keeping a record of Evelia’s height since she was three years old, countless little marks had been drawn.
The chicklike little lady is already six years old.
The duke and duchess, Arkan, Cedric, and even the knights sometimes got lost in sweet memories in front of those lines.
After standing tall and sticking out her neck, Evelia looked up at Caron with shining eyes, seeming to expect that she had grown 1~2cm overnight.
“It’s the same.”
Caron marked exactly the same spot as yesterday and wrote the date. Firmly.
“What? That can’t be!”
Evelia, who turned around in a hurry to look at the line indicating her height, pouted.
What, I didn’t grow? Not even 1mm?
“I want to grow up fast and wear beautiful clothes….”
Not these indoor dresses, but the bright red and black ones like my mom’s, with openings here and there.
But there was no chance with her small height of 110cm.
Evelia regretted as she recalled the dresses of designs that would shock her family and friends if they saw them.
“Nothing can be done… they say everyone has their time.”
“The saying ‘everything has its time’ would be more appropriate.”
“Oh, that.”
Evelia, who returned to her room with a drooping step, obediently accepted the skyblue baby dress that Vivian put on her.
“Eve, are you going to the Duke of Casis’ place?”
As she came down with the help of Vivian, wearing a warm fur cloak, her brothers who had just finished their morning training and were wiping off their sweat with a towel asked.
“Yes. Ecrian made a new fairy tale book. He’s been not doing any work lately!”
She did not know who was responsible for this. Evelia nodded vigorously.
“That guy originally relied on his brain and did not work hard. I’ll scold him properly.”
He did not know whose brother was responsible for this. Arkan clicked his tongue and intervened.
In between, Ecrian, who was caught between the prince and the Artina siblings, was dying.
And it goes without saying that the root cause of all this was Evelia.
“Oh, mom!”
While greeting her brothers, Evelia seemed to remember something and ran to the kitchen.
There was a delicious smell of baking bread in the kitchen, where they were preparing snacks for the princes who had finished their morning training.
“Seth, Seth, please make tonight’s dinner something that makes you grow taller!”
“If you’re looking for food that helps growth, protein is the best. I’ll prepare it carefully, so please be careful on your way, young lady.”
Evelia, satisfied with the answer, cried out, “Thank you again today, Setto!” and ran out of the kitchen, her golden hair flying.
Please. Thank you. Expressions hard to hear from the servants of any noble house.
That’s why it was now a daily sight, when their gracious young lady easily offered these words, for smiles to spread and heads to involuntarily bow in deference.
“Brother, I’ll be going to Eve!”
“Don’t be too late, our child. Let’s eat dinner together to help you grow.”
“Ok! I’ll just read the fairy tale book and come right away!”
Since Hugo and Elysia had external schedules and left the Duke’s residence, Arkan and Cedric kissed Evelia’s forehead to bid her goodbye.
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.
