“I also like men who can’t drink.”
Just as Ranamun’s expression was about to soften at her words, the Chancellor inserted himself inconsiderately and laughed.
“That’s exactly me, Your Majesty.”
‘Stay still, boy! You’re not even a consort!’
Latil glared at the Chancellor, who was grinning with joy.
“I seem to be exactly Your Majesty’s ideal.”
Any remaining warmth in Ranamun’s expression drained away. It seemed pathetic to him to treat Zaisin as a rival.
Next, Ranamun’s gaze at Latil was close to ‘That guy is your taste.’
Eventually, Ranamun said goodbye to Latil again, not wanting to interact more, and the Chancellor soothed Latil with a smile.
“I don’t feel any evil energy from him, Your Majesty.”
Latil did not answer him. Instead, she waited until Ranamun was completely out of sight, and until there were no people around, then lowered her voice and scolded the Chancellor.
“I told you not to speak like the Chancellor, but to speak like a gangster boss in a back alley?”
“I was showing my desire to monopolize you, Your Majesty.”
“Don’t. People look at you weird!”
“I’m fine.”
“I’m not fine! I’m not okay having to pretend to be attracted to you!”
[This is the time separator]While Latil was complaining about the Chancellor’s burdensome possessiveness, Aini, the Empress of Carisen, was hearing shocking news.
“Leddler committed suicide?”
Her friend and most precious maid, Leddler, had said she wanted to go home to rest and left the palace, but now the news had come that she had committed suicide.
Aini, shocked, slumped onto the sofa. It was so sudden.
“Why all of a sudden? She was doing well, wasn’t she? She had no problems?”
“Some people don’t talk about their worries and live brightly.”
Everyone else was as shocked as Aini, but the funeral proceedings progressed quickly, and before they knew it, they were holding a funeral the next day.
Though it was a funeral, the formal procedure was a few days later, and for three days, the body was kept in a coffin where anyone could lay flowers.
“I want to give Leddler a last gift.”
Aini didn’t want to go to the funeral because she was so sad and felt betrayed, but she prepared to send off her friend’s last journey and brought a mirror that Leddler had liked as a gift to the coffin where the body lay.
There were already countless flowers that people had left around the coffin.
“Leddler……”
Aini, looking at the scene with sad eyes, asked Leddler’s guard, who was keeping watch over the coffin with swollen eyes,
“Open the coffin. I want to put this in with her so she can take it.”
The mirror that Aini had brought was decorated with expensive jewels around it and was a very precious item.
“Yes, Your Majesty the Empress.”
The guard nodded his head, cleared the flowers on top of the coffin, and opened it. However, as soon as they opened the coffin, both Aini and the guard screamed in a small voice.
“Leddler!”
“Miss!”
The coffin was empty.
Afterwards, people created a commotion saying that someone had stolen the corpse, but there was no chance or time to steal the enormous body of an adult since the cold hall where the coffin was kept was guarded by countless soldiers.
“Your Majesty, are you alright?”
A few hours later, when Aini returned to her room in shock, another maid quickly brought her a warm cup of tea, sobbing.
Aini, holding a cushion, drank her tea and shook her head.
“No, I don’t know.”
The return of Hem, Redler’s sudden suicide, the disappearance of the body. All of it was hard to cope with and heartbreaking.
Aini, tightly clutching the mirror she intended to give Redler, shivered.
At that time, the maid who brought the tea cautiously opened her mouth while observing Aini.
“Um… Actually, Your Majesty, there’s something I didn’t tell you for fear you might blame yourself.”
Aini, staring blankly at the sofa where Redler often sat, quickly turned her eyes and asked.
“What didn’t you tell me? What is it? Say it quickly!”
“It’s about Redler. He was worried that you’ve been having a hard time recently and said he’d return immediately after seeing his parents’ faces, thinking he’d worry more if he was apart for a few days.”
“What? Why are you just saying this now?!”
“I thought that if something happened on the way… maybe you would feel upset….”
As the maid trailed off, Aini cried even more.
After hearing Hem’s voice, Redler had held her hand until she fell asleep. It was just like Redler to have such worries.
“So, it wouldn’t have been a suicide, right?”
“But there were more than one or two witnesses.”
Aini bit her lip. The maid was right.
Despite the sudden suicide and the lack of a suicide note, the funeral was held right away because there were many people who saw Redler committing suicide.
But would someone planning to commit suicide leave such a message?
“Your Majesty, where are you going?”
“To the Duke and Duchess!”
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.
