As I gasped for rough breath, my shoulders twitched. Then the basket bounced up and down with them.
I was too embarrassed to speak. It felt like death.
But I had to go back today after receiving my first payment for the deal I had made.
I turned my body back towards him and shouted.
“Hey! Please take me to the waiting room for the third Imperial Palace guests!”
Duke Rocard, who was about to enter the building, returned to me and smiled like a naughty child.
How loathsome his suppressed grin was!
He bowed his upper body towards me and whispered into my ear.
“You owe me, Miss Loar.”
And then he strode past me, taking the lead. As he passed me, he didn’t forget to snatch the basket from my arm.
He looked surprised that the basket was unexpectedly light, lifting it to check the weight and then went on cheerfully.
I twisted the side of my skirt all the way.
‘Oh, oh, oh!’
(This is a time delimiter.)
Misha went home for the first time last weekend. It was over a month since she had entered the academy.
The Countess prepared various dishes and changed the house’s decorations to welcome her proud academy student daughter. The mansion was in a festive mood.
As everyone waited, the carriage arrived, and Misha stepped out in her academy uniform. The Countess cried tears of joy at the sight.
……The academy uniform looked splendid to me, too.
In contrast, the Count seemed no different than usual, and even appeared a bit subdued. It was a subtle thing only I felt.
It didn’t seem like it was because she had been away for so long, and I wondered if there was a rule that one couldn’t wear the uniform outside the academy, but I couldn’t be sure.
I also realized that it had been quite some time since I had taken comfort in teasing Misha and feeling irritated at the sight of her. Misha did not stop talking from the moment she got out of the carriage until dinner.
The academy this, the academy that. She seemed to assert that even the dust floating in the air at the Imperial Academy was made of gold.
According to her, unicorns and dragons should live in the Imperial Academy.
But the Countess, excited to see her after a long time, responded to every word with agreement.
I was now somewhat settled in my life path, so Misha’s endless boasting was not unbearable.
If it were Misha, she would say that taking over Loar’s castle and being an herbalist was some vulgar act.
I was so bored with Misha’s bragging that I imagined unicorns running around the dining table in front of me. The Count quietly ate his meal.
Only when Misha stopped her chatter for a brief moment to take a breath did the Countess speak.
“But isn’t the food quality at the academy poor? Your skin seems to have gotten rough.”
“I’m tired from studying.”
I snorted. My very, very soft laugh was heard only by the Count next to me. I sneaked a glance and buried my nose in my plate.
On the other hand, the countess’s eyes became as big as lanterns, and she stood up with a napkin. Then she went out, dabbing her tears with the napkin.
The news that Misha Roar was studying was enough to make one person cry.
Then the count asked in a calm voice,
“Is the studying going well?”
“Fair enough. I’m working hard. Father, can you get me a home tutor? Someone who can come home on weekends.”
The count looked at Misha with a subtle expression and did not answer right away.
“I think it will help with the grades. The academy is… everyone is working so hard, so I think I need to put in more effort to keep up.”
“Very well.”
Only then could I see the count’s expression brightening a little.
Even a centipede has the skill to roll, and Misha Roar is studying.
And he wants to get ahead? It’s something I’ve seen for the first time in a long life.
Hmm, isn’t this an example?
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.
