At the sound of that voice, Lonobe nearly stopped breathing.
For a moment, he thought it was someone else. Hadn’t the tone of the voice changed?
The icy voice that had met him earlier had transformed into a low, gentle sound.
The change was so natural that even Beleth himself seemed unaware of it.
“Ah….”
A faint sound of swallowing was heard, followed by rustling as the silhouette rose.
“Ah.”
Then Lonobe quickly averted his eyes, as if the figure was covering itself. It was a survival instinct. All he could see was the silhouette anyway.
“It seems work has piled up.”
“It has piled up somewhat, but it’s not urgent.”
If it’s not urgent, then why am I here?
Lonobe had to keep the truth to himself once again.
“Could you call Decarabia? I think I should get dressed first….”
Before she could finish speaking, Beleth’s voice rang out.
“Decarabia.”
Accompanied by magic, that voice with a strange resonance was one that anyone inside the mansion could hear.
By now, everyone in the mansion probably knew they were looking for Decarabia.
It was a command rarely used unless there was urgent business.
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Sure enough, thinking it was an urgent matter, Decarabia quickly ran to the door.
And, witnessing the same scene as Lonobe, she stopped in her tracks.
She too seemed unable to grasp the situation, blinking her eyes. Lonobe quietly shifted his gaze toward Decarabia.
‘Do you know what’s going on?’
‘…….’
Just as Decarabia was about to reply,
“Help me get dressed.”
“Yes.”
Was this why I was summoned? Tilted her head, Decarabia disappeared behind the veil.
In the meantime, Beleth had emerged from behind the veil. Lonobe couldn’t dare meet eyes with him; he looked even more ill at ease than during a war.
“Stay out.”
“Ah, yes.”
The idea of stepping aside seemed ridiculous to Lonobe, but what followed was even more bewildering for him.
“So it seems better for me to have a better understanding of the lady’s affairs today.”
At Beryl’s words, who had come out after getting dressed, Beleth gave an unexpected reply.
“That would be inconvenient. The lady has to go with me.”
Why on Earth? Both Decarabia and Lonobe wanted to ask the same question, but they just bowed their heads.
They were unlike Naberus in that they were perceptive individuals.
“Ah… do I also have matters to attend to?”
“Rather than that,”
Beleth’s soft voice carried a hint of laughter. And at that fact, Lonobe wore an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
“In Vyne, it’s customary for a couple to go around together immediately after marriage.”
Neither Decarabia nor Lonobe had been aware of such a custom.
“Then why haven’t we–”
While they also pointed out this glaring inconsistency, Beleth shamelessly replied,
“Excluding special circumstances.”
Decarabia was about to open his mouth with an uneasy expression.
–Thump.
The moment the Mouth of Truth in the demon world was about to speak, Lonobe quickly stopped it.
“If the lady knows about Vyne’s customs, she will adapt more quickly to Vyne, won’t she?”
At that statement, Beryl nodded. It was a valid point.
“I suppose so.”
Seeming a bit more awake, she stretched and walked out from between the veils.
“Shall we start with a light morning briefing then?”
Beleth offered his hand to her, serving both as an escort.
Morning preparations referred to all the preparations made before officially starting work, from proper grooming to breakfast.
“Alright.”
With a somewhat fresh face, Beryl followed him.
Left behind, the gazes of Decarabia and Lonobe met.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
