“Could that be possible? Unrealized plans generally tend to look somewhat similar. Lady, as you rarely attend tea parties or banquets, you might not know, but Her Highness, the Princess, always surprises us with her summer banquets.”
The Viscountess Libeorn hastened to praise the Princess. The sarcasm about the lady who rarely engaged in social activities was blatantly exposed.
Only then did the other ladies chime in with their remarks.
“That’s right, Lady. After your debutante ball next year, you should come to the summer banquet. Join us during that year’s event.”
“The time until your debutante ball is a year. You’ve always missed the tea parties due to health issues. Wouldn’t it be tight to stay healthy until your debutante ball?”
“Why would you say that? Lady doesn’t deliberately do such things.”
Among the ladies, there were alternating expressions of hospitality and rudeness towards Esella. The tightrope walk between the Princess and Lady Madelaine of the Madelaine family of the Imperial faction continued, but Esella simply smiled mischievously. Then the direction of their conversation strangely shifted.
“Have you found a partner for the debutante ball, Sharflong, Lady? I heard that the Duke was looking for a partner for Sharflong.”
Someone among the ladies subtly changed the course of their conversation. Pretending not to, everyone blinked their eyes.
Lady Madelaine’s debutante ball was a coveted opportunity for everyone. An opportunity to firmly mark a spot on the radar of the unmarried Conrad and also gain the chance to impress Jade Madelaine.
Smiling gracefully, Esella slowly spoke.
“Oh, my brother. I guess, you can come with your sister.”
Sister? Someone swallowed a gasp.
Everyone briefly looked at Esella. No one dared to speak hastily, looking at her face, asking what was wrong.
Everyone present remembered the previous incident.
The face of Olivia, who claimed ignorance, and Esella Madelaine, who sided with that illegitimate child, was etched in their memory.
“How do you treat the daughter of that villainous woman who killed my mother like a real sister?”
She even had a vacant face as if the world had collapsed.
In this situation of exchanging glances, the Princess furrowed her brows in bewilderment.
It was incomprehensible.
Why did Esella suddenly change her stance? Even after learning the truth, there should be no change in the relationship between Esella Madelaine and that illegitimate child.
Immediately after, the audacious thing received a proposal from the Duke and left for Bikanader territory. There shouldn’t have been any change in their relationship.
The Princess urgently spoke.
“Sister? Could it be that green-eyed -”
“Impossible.”
A low voice interrupted the Princess’s words.
“I hope you are not talking about my sister, Olivia Madelaine, who is listed in the aristocratic directory approved by Her Imperial Majesty. Your Highness.”
The table fell silent in an instant. Even the fierce Lady Libeorn stood still at this audacious act.
“The aristocratic directory approved by the Emperor.
The Princess’s eyes flickered.
Watching that, Esella bit the flesh inside her mouth. Nails dug into the fist she clenched, but there was no pain anywhere. Instead, her stomach churned as if she was about to vomit, just from mentioning the Emperor. How a topic could render her speechless just by mentioning the Emperor. On that day, brutally beating her sister on the tongue three times.
Haha. Esella burst into sudden laughter. The Princess and Viscountess Libeorn were tense, but to others, it seemed like laughter to ease the atmosphere.
“But, Lady, back then.”
Seeing the cautious lady speaking to ease the tense atmosphere, the Princess quickly signaled to stop talking. However, taking the signal as encouragement, the lady, with a more confident face, said to Esella.
“…You clearly acted as if you would never see him again.”
Looking at the lady, Esella tilted her head momentarily. And then, as if realizing something, she mumbled.
“Viscountess Shamin, right.”
“Yes, Lady!”
Viscountess Shamin smiled brightly and answered. When the lady’s gaze reached me, Viscountess Shamin recalled my affiliation with the Madelaine family.
But.
When the amethyst eyes cooled down, a chill ran down her spine. Simultaneously, a dry voice followed.
“How can you forget someone who insulted the Madelaine family?”
“Me, when!”
Viscountess Shamin’s face turned pale.
“How do you treat the daughter of that villainous woman who killed my mother like a real sister?”
Watching the bewildered lady stammer, the ingrained words played automatically in her mind.
Hundreds of times, the scene from that day played in her mind, always ending with the Princess’s words.
“The reason Lady’s mother died.”
“……”
“Because of that woman with green eyes.”
“……No, really, I didn’t do that on purpose.”
Viscountess Shamin rushed to Esella’s side, panting. The perfectly painted lips trembled. Other ladies were the same.
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.]
