Although not all the members of the knight order were present, there were about thirty of them gathered. However, their expressions were strange. It seemed like they were eagerly anticipating something…
“Is everyone here?”
“Yes, my lord. Currently, all available personnel have gathered.”
Dad’s deep voice echoed from the stairs. Behind him, Clements hurriedly descended into the living room.
Clement checked my condition by grabbing my cheeks that came up to me in no time.
“Are you sure you’re not injured?”
“Yeah, yeah.”
Behind Clements, there was a thud sound. Daevan, who had leaped down from the second-floor railing to the first floor in one go, also hurriedly ran towards me.
“Kiddo, don’t worry. You don’t have to do anything.”
‘What does he mean by worrying suddenly?’
As I was puzzled by Daevan’s words, Dad gently stroked my head.
“Diene, be outside for a moment.”
Dad, who went outside, closed the door.
“Diene, aren’t you hungry? It’s snack time now.”
“Right, today’s snack is chocolate cake, your favorite.”
Clements and Daevan tried to scatter snacks around me.
‘Suspicious, very suspicious…’
I squinted my eyes and looked towards the entrance. Micael, who was standing next to it, gestured to me.
‘It might be better to stop them.’
“Let go of both of these!”
“Diene, wait!”
I pushed their hands away and stood up. As I approached Micael and slightly opened the entrance door, Dad’s voice came through.
“The targets are Asilwood Jajak and Amelia Hwangbi. Eliminate on sight.”
“Dad!”
These people are unbelievable!
I barely calmed Dad down. Reluctantly, Dad sent all the Leviathan Knights away at my strong request.
However, the knights sighed deeply as if disappointed.
While looking at them with expressions of incomprehension, Bart casually spoke as he passed by.
“It’s been a long time since we had such a mission.”
‘Such a mission…’
Clements and Daevan also seemed disappointed, emitting a deep sigh.
“Diene, it’s not helpful to stay this quiet even if that’s how it is.”
“Yeah, anyway, the knights will never find out.”
“Still, it’s not right.”
I said firmly.
If they attempted to assassinate Asilwood Jajak, there might have been a civil war.
Unaware of my complex thoughts, the silver snake played with its tail on my lap.
[Diene, you seem to worry about unnecessary things too much.]‘80% of that worry is your responsibility, you know?’
“Dear, if you were worried about the mission failing, .”
“But killing is not allowed.”
Even to the words that Dad subtly spoke, I firmly replied. Dad tightly closed his mouth. His face showed some dissatisfaction.
“…I understand for now.”
Even though the term ‘for now’ bothered me, I was relieved that they wouldn’t immediately attempt an assassination.
“There was a tracking magic on Asilwood Jajak’s mana stone.”
Dad mentioned the earlier incident again.
Since I had briefly explained it earlier, everyone knew. Why Amelia Hwangbi falsely accused me of being a dark witch and why she tried to capture me.
Dad calmly asked a question with a composed tone.
“How did you know that? I mean, there was a tracking spell on Asilwood Jajak’s mana stone. And how did you steal the mana stone? Even if Jajak is foolish, he wouldn’t have managed it carelessly.”
Dad’s question was inevitable. I was also in a state of preparedness to answer him in advance.
“I didn’t know at first either, but Jajak accidentally mentioned it. He said he attached a tracking spell to the mana stone. So, I secretly followed Jajak. And when his servant briefly put down the mana stone, I could secretly take it.”
It was an excuse I had barely thought of in a short time. Micael still had a puzzled expression, but others understood.
“It was dangerous; if something like that happened, you should have told us.”
Following Clements’ words, Daevan nodded and clenched his fist.
“He’s right, sis. If we had intervened, such a thing wouldn’t have happened.”
Dad spoke with a tone mixed with a deep sigh.
“How surprised I was when I first heard the news…”
When Dad first called the knights, his surroundings were filled with nothing but anger. Now that the anger had disappeared, his face was full of concern for me.
“Don’t do that again.”
“I’m sorry…”
I tightly held Dad’s hand. Dad seemed to have a lot to say, but he didn’t open his mouth any further on that matter.
‘Thank goodness.’
It seemed to be getting sorted out around this time.
“So, since when has my daughter been carrying that snake?”
Finally, it came. Everyone’s gaze turned to the silver snake at Dad’s words. The snake showed no sign of cowering or being frightened in their eyes.
[Unpleasant, these arrogant mites.]The snake emitted a displeased vibe in the family’s eyes. As if threatening them, it raised its head with its tongue out.
‘Please, Snake, don’t grow up now.’
I desperately held onto the snake. It was frustrating that, at this moment, the snake couldn’t hear my thoughts.
“You said it’s not a venomous snake.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“You brought it with you, saying you found it by chance at the auction house.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
“Why didn’t you tell Dad about it until now?”
“I was going to tell, but somehow…”
“By the way, at the auction house, Diene seemed quite interested in this Bai Snake.”
Clements spoke in a gentle tone. His eyes were fixed on the snake.
“There was a little accident back then, but fortunately, we brought it back safely.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“This snake seems to follow you well.”
Clements’ hand approached the snake’s neck. Feeling a creepy sensation for a moment, I quickly grabbed his hand. Clements just smiled without saying anything.
‘It seems like he applied some pressure.’
Daevan muttered with eyes that wanted to get rid of it right away.
“We should’ve caught it earlier and made snake soup…”
“Huh?”
“It’s nothing.”
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.]
