Unlike Daeban, who was emitting energy steadily from his fingertips, some of Mikael’s energy was dispersing in completely random directions.
Just like water leaking from a cracked jar.
“Ah! There’s a lady over there!”
“Lady! It’s dangerous there!”
Knights who spotted me ran urgently toward me. About to rise and move, my bag squirmed.
I quickly opened my bag to look inside.
[Why is it so noisy?]“Ah, why’d you wake up now!”
[I’ve been awake, you know?]Due to the silver snake threatening to exit, I securely closed the bag’s opening.
“You can’t come out now! It’s dangerous outside!”
I whispered to the inside of the bag. Thankfully, the surroundings were chaotic. Otherwise, I’d look like a weirdo talking to her bag.
Crack, another sound of a tree breaking.
“You always have to have your way!”
“I win!”
Daeban’s hurled tree was aimed directly at Mikael. Mikael, possessing the strength to catch it, promptly deflected it. Its trajectory altered by the magic he cast.
Specifically, towards where people were.
“No!”
“You idiot!”
In an instant, a large protective barrier materialized in front of the tree. A loud crash resonated as the tree collided with the barrier.
The deflected tree fell powerlessly to the ground. The area grew quiet.
But it wasn’t just because the tree had fallen.
A dark figure stood tall behind the fallen tree.
“You all…”
The Duke’s eyes widened as he called the twins in a very low voice.
Initially, the Duke charged at the twins without even scanning his surroundings. Then, his gaze rolled over to me.
Seeing me, the Duke’s eyes widened. I could clearly see his concern, so I raised both hands and waved them frantically.
“I’m fine, really!”
“You still need to see a doctor.”
Contrary to what I said, I was immediately whisked away to the doctor.
‘What about the twins…’
Over the Duke’s shoulder, my eyes met Daeban’s, who looked at me with a bewildered face.
As if he had completely forgotten that I was there.
In contrast, Mikael kept his mouth firmly shut, his hand clenched into a fist.
“I must have hurt my hand.”
I was really surprised earlier. I had seen fights before, but lifting trees with magic and shaking the ground was a first for me.
“What kind of sibling rivalry is this intense…”
I resolved never to antagonize the twins.
Upon arriving in the room, Clements, who had returned home with the Duke, was waiting with a doctor. Clements spoke in a serious tone.
“Check thoroughly.”
“Of course, my lord!”
The doctor immediately checked my condition without pause.
But I was really fine. I almost collided with a tree at the end, but thankfully, I wasn’t hit.
“There appears to be no issue with the young lord, other than being a little startled…”
“Can you take responsibility for that statement?”
“Are you sure?”
Both Clements and the Duke interrogated the doctor like a threat. Naturally, the doctor couldn’t leave my side easily.
“If you’re experiencing any pain, please let me know!”
The doctor refused to leave my room, causing others to think I might have contracted a fatal illness.
Sophia, Delma, and the Knights of Leviche crowded the hallway, refusing to leave my room, so I made the excuse of taking a nap.
“Everyone is so stubborn.”
Once the hallway was completely quiet, I reopened my bag.
Inside, a silver snake that had curled itself up opened one eye.
[Humph.]“You…”
[What is it, you insignificant creature?]The silver snake leisurely emerged and slithered toward me, sticking out its red tongue.
[Who told you to bring me along? You, who knows nothing, are quite presumptuous.]Its grumbling tone was just like before. Something welled up from my throat, and I felt heavy.
[Since you dared to bring me, you deserve punishment, but I’ll graciously…]“Hey!”
Angered, I yelled, causing the silver snake to look stunned.
[…You yelled at me?]“Yes! Do you know how worried I was? You should never get caught by bad people if you’re going to run away! You shouldn’t have done that!”
I screamed without listening to the silver snake. The snake, who seemed ready to hiss, stiffened its body.
“You could have been in big trouble! Can a deity like you carelessly reveal yourself to people? You almost became snake soup!”
[What, what? You, an insignificant creature, worried about me?]“Stop calling me insignificant! You’re the one who’s more pathetic! I’ve seen you trapped in a tiny cage, unable to do anything!”
[But you now…]“Don’t try to change the topic…, huh?”
At that moment, the ceiling spun around. I saw the silver snake shaking its head, opening and closing its mouth, hissing.
Luckily, I didn’t collapse onto the floor. My head fell onto the sofa next to me.
The moment I closed my eyes, I realized. Ah, I’m going to faint.
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…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
