The carriage ride with Rafael was very comfortable and enjoyable. Rafael was taken aback by Ariadne’s words and responded.

“Eh? You thought I was on bad terms with my younger sister?”

“No, if Julia’s stories are anything to go by, I expected you to be much more intimidating….”

Upon hearing this, Rafael laughed heartily.

“Oh no, what on earth has my sister been saying about me!”

Ariadne laughed awkwardly. It would be quite an ordeal to relay all the bad things Julia had said. Thankfully, Rafael diffused the awkward atmosphere.

“We were on bad terms, especially when we were young. We even fought, pulling each other’s hair. Do you know how painful Julia’s hand is?”

“No, I’ve never been hit….”

“Oh, my sister has become a decent person.”

He continued speaking with a smile.

“As a child, my sister was like a little monster, but being away from family for a long time makes you miss them and feel fond. Family affection is really strange, isn’t it?”

Ariadne replied with an unnatural laugh. Family affection, she thought. Like the love between her and Arabella, her and Sancha.

“Normally, I hate her to death, but when she goes somewhere and gets bullied, I get angry. That’s why I don’t want to be near her.”

“Excuse me?”

“I get angry no matter what she does when she’s near me, so it’s better not to see her.”

Their sibling relationship was a bit of a mystery.

Talking pleasantly with a man she had just met, the carriage ride to Palazzo Carlo passed in the blink of an eye.

“Oh, I wanted to ask about theology, but I haven’t said a word.”

Ariadne was slightly tense.

“But there’s tonight. There will be plenty of opportunities to talk. Isn’t that right, Ariadne?”

The time spent in the carriage seemed short as they enjoyed their conversation. She, too, laughed brightly.

“With such enjoyable conversations, the ball might end sooner than we expect.”

“Let’s head to the ballroom first, Signora.”

Feeling the carriage stop, he lifted his left hand. Ariadne laughed and placed her right hand on top of his. She thought they might become good friends.

[This is the time separator]

Noble carriages had to drop off their passengers at a designated location in Palazzo Carlo and then wait. This location was far from the main entrance of the palace, in front of a large fountain.

The rotary paved with granite wrapped around the fountain, and the carriages of the nobles queued up one by one to drop off their owners before heading to a parking lot in a corner of the palace.

Naturally, the area was crowded with people. The distance from the fountain to today’s ballroom, ‘the Lily Room’, was quite a walk. It was designed to showcase the king’s dignity.

Carriages with the deer and bay leaf crest of the Carlo dynasty arrived every two minutes to pick up guests and head inside the palace. The nobles gathered in groups under a tent prepared next to the fountain, avoiding the last sunlight of the evening.

There was Julia de Valdesar.

“Brother!”

She exclaimed in surprise, and then greeted Ariadne warmly.

“Ariadne! Come over here!”

Julia caught sight of Ariadne and Rafael, grabbed her brother’s sleeve and pulled them under the tent.

“The sun is still hot, stay in the shade.”

“What’s the matter? My sister is taking care of me.”

“Oh, stop, you always speak ill. Ariadne, my brother might have a bad personality, but he’s not a terrible person.”

Ariadne laughed out loud.

“So that’s your relationship.”

“What?”

“I thought you didn’t get along because you always badmouth each other.”

“What? Brother, what have you been saying about me!”

“I didn’t say anything that wasn’t true.”

“Brother!”

Julia’s partner was Sir Caseri, the knight of the Duke of Valdesar. The current Duke of Valdesar, Julia’s father, intended to prevent any scandals until his daughter was officially engaged.

Therefore, he rejected all proposals from young noblemen of Julia’s age at the parental level, and appointed the reliable Sir Caseri, who was under his command, as his daughter’s partner.

In his early forties, Baron Cesare was a father of two enjoying a happy marital life. The Baroness Cesare, who was heavily pregnant, had not yet returned to San Carlo, staying at her family home in preparation for her third childbirth. It was Duke Baldesar who had swiftly brought in the leftbehind Baron Cesare as his daughter’s partner, in effect as her chaperone.

“Viscount.”

Baron Cesare, Julia’s partner, bowed deeply with a smile to Rafael.

“Don’t do that, it’s unsettling.”

“No, you are the future lord.”

“Baron Cesare!”

Rafael waved his hands, disliking the excessively deferential address, as if the previous friendly smile never happened.

“Brother, accept it. Without our older brother, you have to carry on the family line.”

“Julia!”

Rafael bit his lip. To break the tense atmosphere, Ariadne looked around the room. Luckily, she found just the right person.

“Look over there, it’s Felicite!”

Felicite de Elba, a young noblewoman part of Julia’s circle of friends, had arrived at the ballroom with her partner. Julia paled and waved at Felicite.

“Felicite!”

After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)

One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.

On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.

Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.

News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.

Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.

But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.

The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.

The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”

So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.

She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.

*

After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.

Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.

Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.

She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.

“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
