Ginger, who had risen from the floor, flicked her apron and spoke.
“You must be aware as well. How notorious Renéola Violet was when she was a maid.”
“Dare to speak lightly of Lady Violet, be cautious with your words!”
“Lady Violet is not like that!”
The maids of the First Prince’s Palace rebutted. Clearly, they were well aware of the rumors about Lady Violet and the First Prince.
In fact, there were concerns when she first became a maid in the First Prince’s Palace.
However, the real Renéola was different from the rumors. Even after becoming the prince’s consort, she generously overlooked the mistakes made by the maids more than once.
There was not even a single reprimand, even when she accidentally spilled water.
Seeing this, the maids of the First Prince’s Palace suspected that the rumors surrounding the prince’s consort were not maliciously fabricated but perhaps created by someone with ill intentions, like the maid standing confidently before them.
“How long will you serve as a maid to a woman who ran away with another man?”
These days, Ginger found every day enjoyable.
Not only did Renéola Violet, who was like a thorn, become a maid, but she even became the prince’s consort. It felt like her stomach would burst, and now she was eloping with a man from outside.
Thanks to that, even the maids who used to dislike her when she was in the Second Prince’s Palace had shut their mouths. Now, when the Second Prince becomes the queen’s husband, she will be assigned as the chief maid in her own palace.
‘No, maybe she’ll step down from her position.’
Ginger smiled with satisfaction.
Nobles, as well as commoners and palace residents, had conflicting reactions to the scandal of the First Prince’s consort. This was somewhat different from Floria’s expectations.
“When did it grow to this extent?”
Floria bit her lower lip. When she first formulated the plan, everyone was expected to strongly criticize her. Considering the reputation Renéola had built up, it was natural.
“Even if the contract didn’t get distorted from the beginning, it wouldn’t have come to this.”
Floria shot a look at Shanna standing nearby. Even though Shanna noticed her gaze, she just stood still.
‘It seems she’s cunning. How dare she deceive me.’
Renéola’s actions seemed suspicious to Floria.
Certainly, she acted as if she were delicately flattering and serving her, but in reality, everything turned against her. The mithril mine, which became useless because she couldn’t find a skilled miner, and the incident with the head of the Heights family. How embarrassing it was at the tea party with the noblewomen.
“Please trust my sincerity, Your Highness. Besides, with my heart in Your Highness’s hands, how could I harbor any other feelings?”
As she said, as long as her heart was pledged to her, she couldn’t act rashly against herself. It was strange.
With a strange discomfort, Floria turned around, clenching the gem while watching Renéola’s back. Just moments ago, Renéola Violet, who used to be fearful and in pain at the mere touch of her necklace, now looked perfectly fine.
“Hah.”
Finally, Floria realized that the gem in her hand was fake, and Renéola Violet was currently playing a prank on her.
Without revealing her emotions towards Renéola, Floria turned back and shot a stern look at Shanna as soon as the door closed.
“What’s going on?”
Shanna, who sensed Floria realizing the gem was fake, bit her inner cheek.
“Are you betraying me?”
Floria approached as if she would strangle her any moment.
Recently, to return Renéola’s heart and safely store the source of Lynn’s power, Shanna had used magic. As a result, her mana was depleted, and she was caught by the neck without a chance to avoid it.
When she helplessly explained the events that had occurred, Floria’s expression became fierce.
“This goes against our agreement. I was supposed to become the queen of this country, and you were supposed to find what you wanted. That was our promise. How dare you betray me?”
“I had no choice, Lady Violet. I couldn’t let the source of Lynn be taken away.”
“Hah, if we hadn’t made a contract stating you couldn’t harm me, who knows what would have happened.”
Floria couldn’t stand Shanna, who shamelessly stuck around after betraying her.
With the expression that she wanted to break her limbs and drive her out of the palace immediately, Shanna quickly kneeled as Floria shot a glare.
As long as the source of the future queen who could revive Lynn was in the palace, she couldn’t be chased away.
“I made a mistake, Lady Violet. Please forgive me. It won’t happen again.”
“Anything is difficult at first, but easy the second time. There’s no guarantee you won’t betray me twice. Or how about this time, entrust your heart to me instead of your sister?”
Floria smiled lightly. Shanna, with a furrowed brow, glared at her.
“If I’m not here, Lady Violet, it would be the same as you losing your limbs.”
Having a fairy who used magic without leaving a trace, unlike the wizards, was extremely advantageous.
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.
