“Ah, it turned out as if I played a nasty trick.”
Blat scratched the back of his head, mumbling.
Blat seemed genuinely flushed all the way to his neck.
“Well, I understand.”
Gillian put on the armor that was hung in the situation room and laughed lightly.
“I was planning to get married next spring, and now I’ve become a gatecrasher.”
“No, that’s not it at all.”
“Yeah, yeah, let’s say that.”
With veins popping in his neck as he insisted on his innocence, Blat was all smiles, unlike the master of the 7th castle, who was unable to contain his laughter.
“I get it. It’s just this much.”
Here’s what happened.
Upon arriving in the northern territory with the Princess, who had become the Lady of the North, Gillian found four packs of monsters just as Blat did.
Not just one pack of monsters that lived in packs, but four!
This was a situation where Gillian, a duke, had to step in.
But the problem was this.
Gillian had just returned.
With his new bride.
Blat was in serious contemplation.
But even though he is considered one of the top knights in the North after Gillian, he has always been overwhelmed by monsters.
And it wasn’t just one pack of monsters, but four.
This incident was no ordinary one.
Fortunately, it was a small species pack, but Blat knew well that his arrogance could engulf the entire northern territory.
So he sent a knight, but before Gillian crossed the 6th castle and reached the 7th, the swarm of monsters that had surrounded the castle all retreated as if they were called by someone.
He couldn’t believe it even after seeing it with his own eyes.
Even when their comrades were dying next to them, even when they were the last one left, monsters never retreat.
But they retreated like the ebb tide.
Who would believe this?
Thanks to this, Blat ended up playing a nasty trick on the duke who just got married.
He’s now desperately claiming his innocence, but he doesn’t think the duke will believe him either.
“No, they really were surrounding the castle.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
In no time, Gillian had perfectly donned his armor and was sheathing his dagger with a practiced hand.
Clunk.
One hole, one dagger.
After all, when he faced monsters, he used a broadsword, so he didn’t need a harness or dagger.
So that means…
Desperately claiming his innocence, Blat’s eyes widened.
“Are you going hunting?”
“Yes.”
Gillian picked up the bow as if it were natural.
Hunting?
Although he’s saying something unbelievable, didn’t he say that the monsters had come?
Even if he doesn’t believe that there were four packs or that they retreated on their own, he has to believe that the monsters came out!
“Just now, a swarm of monsters came, didn’t they? You can summon the knights in the barracks and ask them now.”
You’ve become a perfect liar!
Blat was desperate.
But again, Gillian began to prepare for hunting with a light tone, saying “I believe you.”
“Who’s preparing for hunting? Whether or not the monsters came, after the pack goes by, some stragglers are left behind. Who doesn’t know that?”
You don’t believe a word I said, do you?
“No, and whether or not the monsters came out, who hunts in the middle of the night? Huh?”
Blat was defiant, but only for a moment.
“It’s not like we’ll be disturbed by just a few. Come on.”
Gillian was not going hunting alone.
[Star Icon] [Star Icon] [Star Icon]“Let’s go together. Yes?”
With long strides, Blat chased after the rapidly receding Gillian with all his might.
Just a while ago, he was on guard, and he couldn’t understand how he had ended up hunting in the middle of the night.
“Quiet. Do you want to wake up all the beasts?”
“Yo, pant, pant, Your Grace, why are you hunting in the middle of the night? Shouldn’t you return to the main castle…”
Suddenly, Blat’s grumbling mouth snapped shut.
만사에 무감하던 젊은 공작이 결혼한 건 좋은 일이었지만, 문득 그 신부가 누구인지 깨달은 탓이었다.
“It’s fine to rest at home. The children are not oblivious either.”
Crack.
Blat hid his body behind a tree and whispered to Gillian, who was glued to him.
“Hush.”
Gillian seemed to be aiming for something as he held his index finger to his lips, and then immediately nocked an arrow.
With a sharp sound that cut through the wind, there was a thud, and something thick was pierced.
The surroundings were quiet.
It was not a miss.
It was fatal in one shot.
Though it was a familiar event, when Gillian brought his prey, Blat was also taken aback.
“This is…!”
“How about this? Quite good, isn’t it?”
“Wait a moment. This is a Giant Rabbit.”
The Giant Rabbit was a relatively cute small species of monster, shaped like a rabbit, with over a yard of white fur.
Of course, until it opened its mouth.
With the size of a small bear, the Giant Rabbit had a mouth that reached two yards wide when opened, and its mouth was filled with four layers of sharp teeth.
It couldn’t withstand anything if bitten.
It was an annoying species that should never engage in close combat.
“Who said I don’t believe you?”
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.
