However, the number of witnesses was not small. Even if there were people among them who were loyal to Klein, they couldn’t stop the execution itself.
And yet the dead Klein had ordered an attack on Latrasil? Naturally, it made no sense.
The chief servant paused to think, then asked.
“Ah. Perhaps it was an order given by Prince Klein before his death……”
“No, it was a recent order.”
“!”
The chief servant and Sonnaught looked at each other. Both of them wore expressions that worried whether Latrasil had fallen for the enemy’s nonsense.
But Latrasil was convinced they were not lying. Not because of their words, but because of their true intentions.
‘What’s the reason? I heard their true intentions again this time.’
Of course, when interrogated, they obediently told all sorts of stories, just as Latrasil had predicted. That Klein was the mastermind, and how they had found the regent among so many people.
According to them, there was a man called ‘fox mask’, who was playing the role of Klein’s underling, and he had put a strange bead in one of their heads saying, ‘if you have this, you’ll get a reaction telling who the regent is’.
Even after hearing the fox mask’s words, they were skeptical, but in reality, when they had that bead, they got a strong reaction near a certain person, they said.
However, all these stories were hollow. Even to Latrasil herself, unless she heard their true intentions along with it, she felt she wouldn’t have believed the results of the interrogation.
But strangely enough, Latrasil was able to hear their true intentions, and thanks to that, she found out that those unbelievable stories were ‘at least to them’ true.
“Your Majesty, shall we ask the experts to interrogate them again?”
“No, it won’t work, Duke Sable. I fed them a drug that will make them unable to speak, so they won’t be able to be interrogated anymore.”
“Eh? Why would you do such a thing……?”
“Because it’s noisy.”
‘Actually, it’s to prevent them from talking about the regent.’
Latrasil repeatedly said it was okay, then went into the bathroom in her bedroom.
“The warm water we prepared has cooled down a bit, Your Majesty. If you wait a bit more……”
“It’s okay, everyone get out.”
Latrasil sent all the maids waiting to serve her during the bath away, then got into the tub alone and sank her head into the water.
‘Is Klein alive…… Did he revive using black magic? Was he a black magician from the beginning?’
Anyway, Klein’s survival was a matter to be approached with caution. Latrasil submerged her face in the water for a long time, then when she felt like she was suffocating, she suddenly came out of the water and washed her face.
‘Such matters need to be investigated cautiously. There’s an enemy inside. The problem is, I don’t know who that enemy is.’
Investigating Klein requires even more caution than investigating a black magician. But to whom? Who can she entrust this task to?
‘Damn it. Can’t that ability to read true intentions continue to manifest?’
If it was possible, she could quickly find out who was loyal and who was a traitor, and order them to look into Klein.
For some reason, that ability kept appearing and disappearing. She could hear the true intentions of the prisoners, but not the true intentions of the chief servant, Sonnaught, and the regent, just like she couldn’t.
‘First, let’s send someone to my brother tomorrow and ask him to visit with the regent. The regent might know about the resurrection method.’
[This is the time separator]The next day. The moment Latrasil sent someone to where her brother was to ask him to come, the regent, guided by the chief servant, entered the harem building.
The chancellor, his muscular arms bared, looked dazzling and imposing under the sunlight like a god of war.
But people did not usually take kindly to change, and strangers were seldom welcomed with open arms.
Palace staff working in the harem straightened their backs, keeping an eye on the newcomer as they huddled and whispered amongst themselves.
“He was a casino dealer, dealing with VVIPs.”
“Goodness. His status has skyrocketed.”
“I know right. His life was a gamble and he hit the jackpot.”
“He caused a huge commotion to catch her eye, didn’t he? He made a big show of it.”
“He openly sent hearts to her, shot them at her. She fell head over heels when she saw it.”
“Our empress seems to like that kind of thing.”
The whispers of the palace staff were quite loud, loud enough to be heard by the chancellor and his party.
‘Embarrassing.’
The chancellor’s accompanying priest, who had entered the palace pretending to be a servant, blushed up to his neck and bowed his head upon hearing the whispers.
He wanted to shout out, ‘She is not the person you think she is!’, but he could not reveal her incredible identity because it was classified.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
