“Edith. I’ll definitely come back.”
“Isaac…”
“When I arrive, I’ll definitely write letters. Promise. You won’t be left alone for a long time.”
Edith whispered that she would wait, hugging him for a long time. It was hard for both of them to part, but he forcibly took his steps away.
On the way to the capital, encountering suspicious knights lingering around was undoubtedly unfortunate.
“I’d like to ask for directions… Oh.”
The pupils that confirmed Mother’s face widened significantly, and they drew the swords with Goturk’s words.
“Lea Lexion? You died in a carriage accident. How…”
“Is this guy also of the Lexion bloodline?”
“Hey. Why question the reasons now? If we take this woman, Lady Patricia will surely reward us greatly.”
“Since she was on borrowed time, she might not be in perfect condition… It’s time to test if Lexion’s magic works well for subduing her.”
Zzing―
The ominous magic raised by the sorcerer swept the surroundings.
Lea, who was already feeling the limits of suppressing the unstable magic, gently touched her son.
With an expression as if she knew this was her last moment, there was no distortion in her expression.
“My beloved son. Go straight to Lexion Mansion in the capital. You’ve suffered a lot because of me.”
The moving teleportation circle she created activated instantly.
The last moment of Mother that remained in my memory was the sight of her smiling, twisting her lips and releasing a tremendous amount of magic.
“Some lowly knights dare to utter the name of Lexion so recklessly.”
“Mother!”
And then, everything turned pitch black.
When he woke up in a nearby field, he felt an unbearable headache.
‘Is it because of the sorcerer’s ominous magic?’
He couldn’t figure out where this place was. Even when he rested in the shade of a tree and tried eating fruits, instead of recovering, his body convulsed on its own.
Lea spent a very long time pouring and refining all her magic into him. Now, it was collapsing.
The sky looked yellow and then turned purple.
When he realized that his memory was gradually becoming hazy, the only thing he thought of was one thing that he should never forget.
“Edit… t…”
[Her name is Edith. Wavy, lush blonde hair, pretty aqua-colored eyes and long eyelashes, energetic but elegant voice, lips like ripe fruits, a blue necklace gifted by her mother.]And I am Balter Isaac Lexion de Agnas.
“Ugh…”
His vision blurred as if he would lose consciousness soon.
May the painstakingly written note be in his hands when he wakes up.
So that he can remember who he is and how precious that child was to him.
Praying earnestly, he closed his eyes.
But on that unfortunate day, it seemed that God was truly not on his side.
“Balter Isaac Lexion de Agnas… Wait, Agnas? De Agnas?”
“Sir Nicholas. Where are you going other than hunting?”
“D-Don’t come this way!”
“Have you found a precious creature? Are you trying to claim it for yourself again?”
The unpleasant laughter echoed all around, and soon a massive hand lifted him.
“Yeah. It seems I found a precious creature that can be useful.”
It was the voice of Nicholas Fortrion, who never cursed.
[“You are the first person I’ve ever loved, Isaac.”] [“…….”] [“I… I love you very much. So, I don’t want to be apart from you. So please…”]As if pulling the soul that was trying to be sucked into a deep place, the voice he longed for continued to echo in his ears.
And the moment someone’s tears touched the back of his hand, Balter abruptly stood up.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
