The nursemaid seemed to have misunderstood something, so Latil hurriedly raised her hand.
“Ah? No, no, it’s not that I like him in that way!”
“I was startled.”
“What’s there to be startled about? Sonnaught is popular, for reasons I don’t understand.”
Well, lately, she was starting to figure out why, but Latil felt a bit of a blow to her pride and didn’t finish the sentence.
He was goodlooking, of high status, and even more so, physically attractive. Moreover, he was now fully trusted by the emperor. It was impossible for the young ladies who knew him not to like him.
“I hope that Lord Sonnaught would remain as the closest aide to His Majesty rather than joining the harem.”
“The closest aide.”
Latil let out a sigh.
“That would be preferable.”
“Are your worries related to Lord Sonnaught?”
Latil couldn’t bring herself to say ‘there’s something suspicious about Sonnaught,’ and, fumbling for words, she abruptly stood up.
“I’m going somewhere.”
“Then the escort…”
“No, alone.”
“It’s dangerous!”
“It’s fine.”
“But last time…”
“If anyone comes claiming to be me and doesn’t say ‘let’s trade five peas for ten peanuts,’ consider it someone else.”
“What do you mean?”
“It means nothing. If I say something meaningful, it would be easy to guess, right?”
Showing a smile to the flusteredlooking nursemaid, Latil quickly changed out of her pajamas, opened the bottom drawer of the wardrobe, and put on a comfortable black shirt and pants.
She tied her long hair into a bun, and despite the nursemaid’s mumbling of ‘You can’t restrain yourself,’ she eventually put money into a black pouch and even prepared a patternless short sword for her.
Ever since she was a princess, Latil would often change her clothes and wander around the capital whenever she felt worried or frustrated.
Knowing that she wouldn’t go too far and would return after walking around the vicinity, the nursemaid helped her prepare familiarly.
“I’ll be back.”
With a sound of a kiss on the nursemaid’s cheeks, Latil wore her usual cloak over herself and went outside.
Then, sneaking out through the back gate, where entry was forbidden, she started walking around.
[This is the time separator]“That Duke Atraxil’s son seems to be wandering around just fine.”
At the sound that greeted him as soon as he opened the door, Cheller hastily bowed. Lord Chancellor waved his hand to straighten his back and took a sip of his halfcooled coffee.
“Get up. I didn’t call you to scold.”
“I have disappointed you.”
“I’m not scolding you. Probably, the chancellor has healed him.”
“I apologize.”
“That’s fine. The chancellor is no different from a joker card. It’s tricky. How could you have guessed that the chancellor would heal Duke Atraxil’s son?”
The Lord Chancellor’s words were gentle and full of understanding, but if he really thought it was okay, he wouldn’t have called him at this late hour.
However, the Lord Chancellor didn’t punish his confidants simply because he was angry, so Cheller straightened his back and carefully looked at the chancellor.
“Shall we try another method?”
“No. Ordinary methods won’t work.”
“Then do you have another plan in mind?”
“I’ll have to think about it now. Anyway, injuring him won’t work. If it’s healed again, it’s all for naught.”
“Yes.”
“You think about it too.”
“Yes, Your Excellency.”
When the Lord Chancellor gestured for him to leave, Cheller bowed and turned around. But as he approached the door, he hesitated for a moment, then turned back and asked the chancellor.
“Would it be easier if we had the young master’s help? What if we ask Young Master Guesta for help?”
“He’s too kind. Innocent. If he finds out we’re trying to harm someone, he’d faint from shock.”
“…Yes.”
[This is the time separator]The night air of a day that was slowly beginning to warm had a certain charm that made people feel cozy.
Latil put her hands in her pocket and walked slowly down the street, trying her best to untangle her complicated and dizzying thoughts.
‘Am I suspecting Lord Sonnaught without reason? The Sonnaught I saw was trustworthy. …Damn it. Wasn’t it the same with my brother? My brother also looked trustworthy. No, but Sonnaught didn’t get persuaded by my brother even when he risked danger….’
At that time, a faint, noisy sound carried on the wind reached her ears.
‘What is that noise? It sounds like a fight?’
Since Latil hadn’t set out with a particular purpose in mind, she walked straight towards the source of the noise as soon as curiosity struck her.
There was indeed a fight happening, just as she had thought from afar. And it wasn’t just a twoperson brawl, it was a fullblown gang fight.
Emotions were already running high among them, and the fight was so tangled that it was hard to tell who was on which side. They were pulling hair, kicking, grabbing clothes, rolling on the ground a dogfight, as they say.
‘Aren’t the guards coming?’
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.]
