Wow! The slightly intoxicated knights cheered.
“But if I win, I’ll grant one wish each.”
“Deal!”
Clearing away the various snacks ordered, the game board was quickly set up. Their early gathering continued late into the night.
Excluding the knights, Carol, who had expelled all other guests, hung a closed sign at the door.
“Ugh. I can’t drink anymore.”
“Hey, you! We have the pride of the Duverk Knights!”
“No! Don’t fall! Stick it in your throat!”
It was a drinking match between Diana and the knight famous for his drinking skills, one-on-one.
In the drinking session that had been going on for hours, not only were glasses emptied, but even the rum-filled barrels were now being drained.
One barrel. Two barrels. Even the liquor brought in by the crate was being emptied.
The opposing knight fell, his face contorted, and thumped – hitting his head, he collapsed.
“Ack! Our debts!”
“No way! Carol, make that kid pay for everything we drank today.”
“Darn it, I could’ve saved some money.”
Diana, neatly finishing the remaining glass, wiped her mouth and shook her head with a satisfied expression.
Still, in the slightly tipsy mood, she could laugh without any thoughts. The knights continued to clamor without a break, dispelling any lingering concerns.
On a night with the moon high in the sky, the brightly lit tavern was lively.
The time when all the shops had closed their doors.
Wow! The robust cheers of the men echoed. The moment the door with the closing sign opened was then.
Clang – the chime rang, and Carol turned his head.
“Our business is closed… Oh?”
As a man entered, emitting an atmosphere even more overwhelming than the knights, Carol was surprised but quickly greeted him with a smile.
The man, without taking a seat, leaned against the corner, crossed his arms, and stood crookedly, looking at the woman at the center of the lively crowd.
“Wow!”
The dart hit the bullseye. Cheers erupted from the knights as the dart landed precisely in the center of the target.
“Lady, you’re amazing!”
“Cheers! Tastes like victory.”
“Lady, win!”
Amidst the rough men, she oddly harmonized and seeped through, smiling.
Thunk – thunk – she consecutively lodged the dart in the bullseye three times.
She was in a state of wearing Carol’s clothes. Diana, with intense concentration on the target, was so beautiful that she naturally captured attention. Even in common attire of ordinary people, her beauty shone brightly.
“Ahaha, Sir. I won, didn’t I?”
She turned around and extended her hand to the knight. The knight reluctantly handed over a silver coin.
“You’re being too much! I have a separate specialty!”
“Oh my, Sir. If a man whines like that, it’s not charming.”
“Haha, how did you know? That guy hasn’t been able to date a girl until now.”
“Eek! Shut up!”
Watching the grumbling knights, Diana returned to her seat and received another glass of alcohol.
How much time had passed? One, two. Among the knights who had collapsed in their seats, only elite knights remained, willingly being her drinking partners.
“We don’t want the Commander to die! Hic.”
“That’s right. They all live for their own ego, but what’s the fun without the Commander!”
More precisely, Diana was entertaining their antics.
“Dealing with these guys. Hic. It’s because we have the Commander.”
With a rising intoxication, Diana, with a flushed cheek, leaned on her chin and looked at them with half-closed eyes.
Snick. A smile flowed. Feeling satisfied because Roderick was being acknowledged.
“Don’t worry. I’ll let your Commander live. Hehe.”
As she stood up from her seat, her foot got caught in the chair, causing her to sway. A sturdy arm waiting nearby supported her.
“Oh, Roderick?”
Her blurry pink eyes blinked slowly.
“I’m drunk.”
“Oh my, are you worried about me?”
Be kind. Diana leaned her forehead against his chest. Feeling reassured by his scent, she felt even more intoxicated.
Roderick exhaled a low breath, scanning his surroundings.
The elite knights who had recognized his presence were sneaking away as if they had sobered up.
“He defeated the entire knight order.”
“Only you’re left?”
Watching the knights fleeing with a fearsome gaze, he lowered his eyes. His eyebrows raised slightly.
“I won’t accept your drunkenness.”
“Tch. You tell me not to endure it. Can’t I endure your drunkenness? And I’m not the one getting drunk?”
“…….”
Does she know? She wanted to bite and swallow those plump lips sticking out right now.
“Don’t provoke me.”
Tilting his head slightly, he whispered softly.
“I endured a lot yesterday too.”
Oh! Oh! Playful sounds came from behind, but no one paid attention.
Carol was energetically tapping his husband’s biceps and munching on peanuts.
“Roderick.”
She, with slender arms wrapped around his thick neck, pressed her face close to his. Their narrowed distance allowed her warm breath to touch his lips.
“Who’s asking you to endure? You’re the one who shouldn’t endure.”
“I’m going crazy.”
Roderick’s handsome forehead twisted. He took out a hefty pouch of gold coins from his pocket.
“I’ll use it all on this floor.”
Handing the pouch to Carol, he headed for the third floor of the inn, which also served as a pub.
“Of course. Have a great time~”
Huhu, unless it’s something special, the third floor was kept vacant for business. How did she know that? Today’s sales are the highest.
Carol smiled at the pouch of gold coins.
“Oh my.”
Not losing her smile, Carol grabbed the man trying to climb the stairs with an eagle eye.
“Where are you going, sir?”
“I’m the lady’s escort. My dear.”
“But?”
“I’m on guard duty.”
“Hasn’t this gentleman sobered up?! How dare he ring the bell.”
The bearded, big-sized man frowned.
Even sobering up was frightening. He didn’t know what kind of protest would be thrown the next day when he brought Diana to the pub.
“Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey is dripping from the Commander’s eyes. Commander, you should get married soon for your own comfort.”
“But… I played during working hours.”
“Tsk. You’ll have such a lively night that you’ll forget all those trivial things. Shall we tidy up and go to bed?”
The wife’s words are always right. Buzz obediently nodded, leaving behind his still-lying colleagues, and went to the room with his wife.

The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
