“I’ve seen this situation somewhere before.
“If I have to give up this person, I would rather give up the throne.”
I thought such lines were only for naive rich boys, but to see it happening right in front of me was astonishing. I felt as if I had become the protagonist of a daily drama.
Cahilin’s firm declaration was perfect, even throwing the statue that had been placed next to the king.
Cahilin effortlessly dodged the flying statue. Instead of grabbing his back, the king frowned as if he had a headache.
“My already short life is wearing thin because of you.”
The king, who sighed deeply, glared at Cahilin with a worn-out expression.
“Do you think I don’t know that you dislike Eric and rashly come out like this?”
Cahilin didn’t respond to the accurate accusation.
“Yes, that child knew he wouldn’t make a suitable king, so he wanted to put you on the throne. But do you really not know how threatening Eric’s support is right now? That boy made a clever marriage. But you…”
The king’s displeased gaze once again swept over me. Despite my preparedness, it was uncomfortable to be openly criticized. Cahilin patted my hand, strangely improving my mood.
“You…”
Watching him, the king sighed heavily.
“Fine, do as you wish. But remember one thing. If Eric ascends to the throne, pushed aside by you, he will surely become a great disaster for our Hilik.”
The permission came more easily than I expected. It was subtle to call it permission, but anyway.
The king’s actions were unpleasant, but surprisingly, he seemed to have discerning eyes. His final words seemed like a prediction for the future.
“What are you thinking?”
Cahilin asked as he put on his robe and came out. I averted my eyes from his uncovered upper body, freshly awakened from consciousness.
“I need to properly dress!”
“Soon-to-be-married, why bother.”
Cahilin sat in front of me, as always a signal to dry his hair.
“Darn it, do I have to be treated like a maid until the end while getting married soon?”
I grumbled inwardly as I began to dry his hair. Absently rubbing with the towel, I suddenly remembered something and asked.
“But where did you learn such words?”
“What words?”
“‘I will not marry unless it’s this woman,’ ‘If I have to give up this person, I would rather give up the throne.’ Those aren’t the words that suit you.”
“What should I say that suits me?”
Cahilin asked with a smirk.
“How about hearing such words? Does it make you feel good?”
“No. It just doesn’t suit you.”
“Weird.”
“Why? Did you think I would like it?”
“That’s strange.”
“Why? Did you think I would like it?”
“That’s a line from ‘,’ recited verbatim.”
I involuntarily clenched his hair. Cahilin chuckled softly.”
“I don’t mind rough things, but it would be better if you did that from above.”
Cahilin pointed to the bed with his chin. As my face blushed, I stroked his hair more roughly.
When will that darn book stop following me like a tag?
“It seems like a misunderstanding. I don’t really like that book. No, I haven’t even read it.”
“I see.”
“Is it really true?”
“I said I understood.”
“No, you’re not believing me right now. I really haven’t read it!”
[Mad Warlord Cahilin the Hilk, Holy to the Vile Villain Reneola Violet!]Cahilin and my scandal spread beyond the royal palace to the entire capital. Various newspapers quickly covered our story as headlines.
As expected, support for Cahilin plummeted significantly.
Moreover, with the summoning of the notorious gossip columnist, Gebis Parlong, who had been involved in a scandal with me before, I was portrayed as a historical seductress, and Cahilin became the foolish prince who fell for such a seductress.
Our scandal was the hottest topic in taverns. The citizens mocked and criticized us as much as they had supported Eric and Floria’s love.
If I didn’t care, it would be a lie, but I was not hurt because it was expected.
Cahilin, who had never been a laughingstock to anyone in his lifetime, might have been concerned, but it was an unnecessary worry.
“Compared to words like ‘insane bastard,’ ‘useless giant without an ounce of consideration,’ it’s nothing.”
Who said that to you?
I didn’t know who it was, but I thought I had quite a large build.
“Oh, really? Too bad. Now that I’ve become a crazy guy who doesn’t want to cater to such a madman.”
I recalled the words I had said to Floria at that time.
I apologized later for not being sincere, but he had quite a long grudge.
“Well, it’s a shocking thing, so it might not be forgotten.”
He smiled with a smile that meant he would never forget.
The factions that supported Cahilin naturally rose up.
They flocked to Cahilin, demanding that he withdraw his intention to marry immediately. However, they were once again dumbfounded by the childish line, ‘If I have to give up Reneola Violet, I would rather give up the throne.’
I couldn’t understand why that line resonated with them.
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…
