She had no intention of hiding her presence. On the contrary, she intended to undermine the arrogant atmosphere. Yet Relia didn’t even budge from the sofa.
“Huh.”
Is this really an uprising?
Eustia approached Relia, suppressing her rising urge to yell. It was when her twisted red lips were all set to sneer.
Eustia had to open her mouth in astonishment, unable to utter the words that rose to her throat.
“…Your Highness?”
Despite her call, Relia still didn’t move an inch. Worse, her face was a mess, just as the chamberlain had warned.
The only difference was that her stiff face was soaked wet.
Eustia quickly sat across from her, her face flushed with confusion.
“Your Highness, what in the world…”
She couldn’t complete her sentence. Relia’s face, viewed head-on, was hopelessly ruined.
Her eyes were so swollen that they hardly opened, and her lips bore blood as if she had been biting them.
Eustia leaned her upper body and firmly grasped Relia’s hand. Her initial irritation towards the tardy Relia had long since disappeared.
“Relia, what happened to you? Who dared to do this to you!”
Eustia’s emotion began to boil for another reason and she displayed it without any filtration. Seeing Relia in such a mess was utterly unbelievable.
Who dares touch her? This Relia, who has Eustia, the Empress of Valcherofe, solidly behind her—who dares to be so audacious!
“Rellia, speak up. Who has left you in such a mess? Whoever it is, they won’t get away with it.”
Eustia couldn’t help but scold Rellia. Only then did Rellia, who had been staring blankly at one spot, slowly turn her head.
“……Your Majesty.”
“Yes, Your Highness. Speak up. Who did this to you, hm?”
Restless, Eustia tightly clenched Rellia’s hand. A girl once full of life down to her fingertips, now lacked even a trace of energy.
“Your Majesty… there’s something I’d like to ask.”
“First tell me who did this to you…!”
“Your Majesty.”
Before Eustia could finish, Rellia interrupted her once again. It was audacious. However, Eustia just stared at Rellia, unable to weigh the right or wrong of the situation.
“Do you remember what you told me three days before the victory party for the Crown Prince?”
“The words I spoke to Your Highness? What words are you talking about?”
“You distinctly told me, Your Majesty, that your attendance at the party with the Crown Prince was merely for political reasons.”
Eustia furrowed her brows. It was completely out of the blue. Hadn’t that conversation ended a long time ago?
“Yes, I did say that. But why bring it up now?”
“You ended by saying, ‘It may not be pleasant for the time being, but looking back, it will be just a small process for the power that will end up in my hands.'”
“What are you trying to say?”
Eustia looked at Rellia with a face that clearly indicated she was clueless. The anger she had momentarily forgotten at the sight of Rellia’s disheveled state started to boil up again.
She took a rough breath that rose up to her throat and forcefully closed and opened her lips.
“Your Highness, I can’t understand why you’re acting like this today. I intended to reprimand you for your tardiness, but you don’t seem to be in a good state today, so I won’t. So let’s call it a day for now…”
“Do you still think that way, Your Majesty?”
Once again, Rellia audaciously cut off Eustia’s words. Eustia abruptly let go of the hand she was holding. She was infuriated beyond endurance. There was a limit to being presumptuous, and Rellia had crossed it by miles.
Eustia rose from her seat without any hesitation. She felt like she would explode if she had to look at Rellia’s audacity any longer. However, Eustia found herself unable to take even a single step.
“Answer me, Your Majesty. Do you truly still believe… that the humiliation of that day will eventually serve as a small step for the power I will hold in my hands?”
“….”
“Please answer me.”
Lelia began to cling to her, as if begging.
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.]
