“Yes. I am a loyal maid. I conveyed your words so that you don’t have to worry.”
“Tell me. What did Princess Miliora say?”
“Are you curious to death?”
He grinned, as if he wanted to tease and dishevel me.
“I’m curious to death.”
“Since becoming Duke Kaidel, we’ve been able to bring up such rude matters even when calling me. It’s natural for the Duke to play with jewels in the air. …Isn’t that so?”
Since I had no intention of having a serious conversation with him, I said whatever came to mind.
Of course, I didn’t mention the threat Princess Miliora made to me. If he finds out, he might get angry.
Duke Kaidel slightly furrowed his eyebrows at my strange words, then smiled.
The victorious smile, I wanted to smack it.
“Let’s make a brief stop.”
“Where to?”
“It’s a coming-of-age ceremony, so we need to buy flowers, right?”
I almost said this.
‘You could just pick flowers in the Marquis’s garden, without wasting money.’
But for some reason, I didn’t want to say that and kept my mouth shut.
I didn’t like the idea of him personally picking and arranging flowers for Misha either. It felt like it would tarnish the precious memory of my coming-of-age birthday.
And I was surprised that I had such thoughts.
Maybe I’m crazy.
In the meantime, the carriage passed through the streets of the palace and entered the commercial district.
Perhaps it was because I was unusually silent today, Duke Kaidel glanced at me briefly.
“We’ll buy flowers at the first flower shop. It won’t take long.”
“Yes, Your Grace.”
I replied politely and sat quietly.
Finally, when the carriage stopped in front of the first flower shop, Duke Kaidel got off on the roadside.
Although I couldn’t see the store from inside the carriage, I heard his voice saying he was looking for flowers for the coming-of-age ceremony.
The shopkeeper, perhaps trying to deceive a noble, hesitated but eventually invited him in, saying the best flowers were inside.
‘Why did I agree to follow him?’
But then, the carriage door creaked open, and a villain appeared, throwing a sack over my body.
Kalin swallowed dry saliva. She still couldn’t believe she was walking through the corridors of the palace.
Today, she felt a boiling sensation in her blood because Misha Roar hadn’t invited only her to the coming-of-age ceremony. All the academy students, including Duke Kaidel, were invited, but when the carriage sent by Prince Orell arrived at the Ankhart Mansion, Kalin felt a rush of satisfaction as if all the desires she had harbored from birth until now were suddenly fulfilled.
The courtship from Prince Orell and the attention she received from Prince Graian.
Comparing the two princes in her hands, the feeling was so exhilarating that her breath became erratic.
When the grand door in front of her opened, Kalin walked forward with elegant steps she had perfected through years of effort.
Holding a small box in her hand, she raised a salute to the man with neat silver hair.
“Kalin Ankhart greets His Highness Prince Orell, the great little sun of Tagar.”
“Kalin.”
Orell smiled gently, calling her by her first name.
“Sit.”
After bowing deeply, Kalin sat across from Orell. On the table, a neatly placed box caught her eye.
“You were undoubtedly an outstanding talent at the academy, weren’t you? I hope I didn’t call a busy person.”
She wasn’t busy today.
Although she wasn’t the most outstanding talent at the academy, there was no need to mention Lord Rocard, the second prince, in front of Orell.
“You’re too kind.”
“Isn’t your father worried? I sent a specially guarded carriage.”
“With the protection of His Highness, what more could my father worry about?”
“Pour the tea.”
In the meantime, a maid brought forward a tea that emitted a fragrant aroma.
Kalin was afraid her hands might tremble, so she hesitated to pick up the teacup. However, she reached out. She had to break through this moment.
Fortunately, she didn’t lose her composure.
“The fragrance is delightful, Your Highness.”
“Is the business going well? I heard you plan to acquire the investment rights for the new seasonal forge.”
“I’m not yet clever enough to understand my father’s affairs well.”
Kalin responded flawlessly, but Orell knew it was a lie. And Kalin also knew that Orell knew her words were false.
It was a well-known fact that Lord Ankhart didn’t make any decisions without consulting his daughter.
Kalin tensed as Orell brought up this issue first. Her mind was racing quickly.
Could it be?
If Prince Orell is also harboring ambitions for the fortune that Ankhart will eventually seize…
Kalin’s heart began to beat rapidly.
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.]
