A voice from within the carriage reached Latil’s ears, causing her to startle.
‘Item?’
He wasn’t muttering to himself, that much was clear. It seemed to be the man’s innermost thoughts.
But Tasir, unaware of this, was anxiously eyeing the approaching managers and calling out again.
“Hurry!”
Yet when Latil hesitated, he grabbed her hand.
“Hurry!”
But Latil couldn’t easily leave. As she gazed back at the carriage, she urgently yelled out to Tasir.
“Just 30 seconds!”
She felt like the man inside the carriage would say something crucial if given 30 seconds.
“We can’t wait!”
[How will I face the prince?]Prince! Fleeing or listening to the man’s words for 30 seconds. Unable to make a decision between the two, Latil spun around at the sound of ‘prince.’
That. That I need to hear! A startled Latil shook off Tasir and ran towards the carriage.
Just then.
Suddenly something heavy hit her shoulder, and she fell to the ground. A prickling, pressing sensation on her shoulder and legs, followed by intense stinging.
After a few rolls on the ground, Latil saw Tasir right in front of her. Behind her was the hard ground. Tasir had rolled on the ground with her in his arms and had finally stopped, covering her.
Almost simultaneously with this realization, a loud bang was heard, and the carriage exploded.
“!”
Red flames surged up like a rich cloud before dying down, and something whizzed past with a whoosh.
“Ugh.”
Without any time to figure out what it was, Tasir let out a short groan and slumped over on top of Latil.
Latil opened her eyes wide. She was still unable to comprehend what had just happened.
“Ta, Tasir? Tasir?”
Calling Tasir, Latil moved him to the side and stood up.
The first thing she saw was Tasir’s back. His back was filled with bright red blood from the previous explosion. His clothes were already torn beyond recognition, and several spots on his back were even charred black.
“No. Tasir. No. Tasir!”
He had suffered a burn. Latil held Tasir’s shoulder and muttered before looking at the carriage.
Seeing the condition Tasir was in after the explosion, the carriage was beyond mention. The once sturdy carriage was now shattered into pieces. And so was the man.
The man who had been wearing the mask earlier was rolling among the wreckage of the carriage. Looking at him, Latil muttered.
The sound of horses rushing in was getting closer, and her head was in utter chaos. What’s… What’s happening? Who bombed the carriage?
My enemy? That man’s enemy? Or that man’s ally?
Holding Tasir in her arms, Latil looked around. Who’s this? Who did this? Who are you!
[This is the time separator]“Regent.”
Late in the night, while the regent was exercising alone and enjoying the night air, his eyes snapped open at a whisper.
“Your Majesty? No, why would you come through there instead of the door?”
“Let’s go for a walk in the night for a moment.”
“Now?”
“Quickly.”
The regent was confused but quickly wiped his sweat and put on a light overcoat to go out. However, Latil, who had suggested a walk, put the regent in the carriage.
“Are we going for a walk by carriage?”
The answer that came back was ominous.
“Tasir was severely injured.”
“Tasir… the drugs…”
“Yes, him.”
The Deputy asked, adjusting his posture for a more precise inquiry.
“How did it happen?”
Latil glanced outside through the carriage window curtain, then she explained after confirming that no one was around.
“I found out that the criminals who desecrated Abamama’s tomb were looking for a map. I heard it was going to be auctioned illegally, so Tasir and I went to find it.”
Meanwhile, the carriage continued to clatter along. Latil sighed, clutching her hair as if tearing it out.
“Somebody won the map at the auction, and we snatched it. But… the carriage exploded. Tasir took serious burns on his back protecting me. Also, fragments of the carriage pierced his back.”
“Who would do such a thing? Did the enemies kill the person who bought the map at the auction to steal it back?”
“Not exactly. The person who won the map at the auction was also very suspicious.”
“Suspicious?”
“When I snatched the map, he asked me if I was from the Zhao side.”
“Zhao?”
“I need to look it up. But that’s not the main issue.”
“Is there another problem?”
Latil was about to explain further, but the carriage stopped. She tapped the Deputy’s shoulder and cut off her explanation.
“I’ll discuss it later with Tasir.”
Latil put on her hat and went out of the carriage. The Deputy quickly followed her.
The carriage stopped in front of an ordinarylooking inn. Latil led the Deputy to the farthest room on the second floor.
As soon as they entered the room, Latil closed the door, drew the window curtains, and took off her hat. Meanwhile, the Deputy approached Tasir, who was lying on the bed.
“Oh my.”
Although he had heard about it, Tasir’s injuries were severe even at first glance.
“I need your healing.”
“Yes, don’t worry.”
While the Deputy was using his divine power to heal Tasir, Latil was holding her head.
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…
