Now that he seemed more settled, Eric deeply inhaled Alicia, holding her with no resistance.
“It feels like I’m alive now.”
“It must have been tough.”
“It’s hard to make a living, really.”
Eric buried his face even deeper into Alicia’s neck and took a deep breath.
The inexplicable comfort of this somewhat thrilling and even slightly electrifying scent was something that no one else could replace for Alicia.
“Is it that tough?”
“Well, dealing with Valua is always difficult. From the beginning… No, forget it. What am I going to say? I just have to endure a few more days.”
Shiver.
“Why do you keep shivering?”
“It’s ticklish when you talk.”
Since Eric was covering her mouth, every time he spoke, his lips brushed against her, causing a ticklish sensation.
Now that her remembered face wasn’t visible, Alicia thought it was fortunate, and her words trailed off.
“Oops.”
This time, she genuinely shivered. The warm and damp feeling on her neck and the slightly rough sucking were embarrassing.
“Uh, Eric.”
“Yeah.”
Even though he answered, Eric didn’t stop, so Alicia grabbed his clothes.
“It’s ticklish.”
“Yeah.”
“Mmm.”
Smack.
This time, because of the real physical contact, Alicia, who had shrunk her body from the ticklish feeling, felt embarrassed.
“Uh, Eric.”
“Yeah.”
While answering, Eric didn’t stop, and Alicia, who was embarrassed, lightly hit his back. In response, she heard Eric’s low laughter near her ear.
Whenever Eric teased her like this, Alicia was embarrassed, but she never resisted.
Pretending to be indifferent while honestly reacting, Eric found Alicia irresistibly lovable at times like this.
Even in the midst of performing important security duties for Britannia, to the extent that one would want to turn a blind eye privately.
Kwang—!
A loud noise echoed from outside.
Eric and Alicia, surprised, quickly approached the window to look outside.
Monsters appeared, and chaos reigned outside.
People fleeing were mixed together, and screams filled the air.
Even from the direction visible through the window, several monsters were visible at once.
“Oh no. You stay here.”
“Eric!”
Alicia, trying to run out, was restrained by Eric.
“Be careful.”
Looking into Alicia’s eyes, shaking with worry, Eric hugged her and kissed her.
Even in the midst of this, Eric pressed down his instincts that wanted to deepen further and released his lips.
“I’ll be back.”
With those words, Eric rushed out of the room, leaving Alicia alone, silently watching his back.
While running towards the tent where William and Princess Valeri were, Eric cut down the monsters rushing at him.
However, the tent had already turned into chaos, and there was no one left.
In a hurry, Eric asked one of the guards fighting nearby.
“Where are His Excellency and the princess?”
“They took refuge. They went back and entered the annex.”
“Thank goodness. Support?”
“We’ve already fired signal flares.”
Since monsters had been appearing unexpectedly recently, all the knights stationed in the capital were given signal flares to be used in emergencies when monsters or magicians appeared.
‘Allen will take care of it since the Second Knights’ base is the closest. The guys from the Zero Knights will arrive on their own.’
Calculating the time while glancing at the number of monsters, Eric saw a man in a black robe crossing a narrow bridge towards the museum.
Several monsters were also crossing the bridge towards the museum.
‘That guy.’
After defeating the monsters, Eric jumped towards the bridge leading to the museum.
Perhaps because the bridge was narrow, monsters were slowly filling it.
Although he quickly cleared another bridge, the situation was the same.
“Damn it.”
After dealing with the last monster at the back, it didn’t seem easy to keep cutting through the monsters lining the narrow bridge.
At that moment, a strong wind blew from the side, pushing the monsters into the lake.
“Hmm?”
“I’ll cover you, so run.”
“Your Highness?”
“We need to deal with the monsters now, don’t we?”
Reluctantly agreeing with Princess Valeri’s confident words, Eric focused on running on the bridge.
Monsters that were not pushed away by the wind were dealt with by Eric.
The distance was short, and Eric could enter the museum in one breath.
Alone in the room, Alicia was surveying the situation through the window.
Suppressing the desire to rush out with the feeling that it would be troublesome if she recklessly went out and caused harm, she was in the midst of restraining her urge to run out.
However, except for some guards of the security force for the protection, there were almost no people capable of fighting.
“Hello.”
At that moment, a chilling voice was heard right behind Alicia.
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.]
