Lisi smiled quietly.
“There’s no need. Just get the Ravenet’s gold mine from him and give it to me as a wedding gift.”
Lisi knew Alford well.
Even if Lisi married Kevrant, Alford would not give up easily. He might be staying in the Duke’s mansion right now, behaving rudely to take Lisi away.
Also, Lisi knew Brittany well.
Brittany would not accept that Lisi had the Green Earl. She might be lying awake with jealousy right now, scheming to distance Lisi and Kevrant.
Knowing Alford and Brittany too well, Lisi also knew their level.
Alford would definitely come here.
“A wedding gift….”
Kevrant’s voice was cold. Lisi looked up at him without trembling.
“You seem to be misunderstanding something, Lisi. I have no obligation to give you a wedding gift. You agreed not to reveal that I am a beast, and I agreed to take you from Wittle Castle and make you the wife of the Green Earl. I consider our dealings concluded.”
“The Green Earl is not accurate in his calculations. I have your life in my hands, and don’t you think this marriage leans too much to one side?”
“I don’t think so, Lisi.”
Kevrant came across the table and lifted Lisi’s chin with his index finger. A ominous light came into his ashblue eyes.
“Because I have your life in my hands as well.”
Even this time, Lisi’s eyes did not waver. She fearlessly ignored the lethal threat that could tear her throat at any moment.
Kevrant liked Lisi’s attitude, but he didn’t withdraw his threatening aura. He wanted to see how far Lisi could go in the stranglehold of this lethal aura.
“What a petty man….”
The unexpected words that slipped between Lisi’s thick lips shattered Kevrant’s threatening aura. The corners of Lisi’s mouth rose slightly.
“I didn’t know that the great Green Earl was a man who couldn’t even give his stubborn and greedy wife a single Ravenet gold mine as a gift.”
Lisi continued to mumble. Kevrant couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Don’t make me out to be an incompetent man, Lisi.”
“That’s what I see.”
“You’re stubborn, greedy, and even demanding.”
“You’ll have to get used to it.”
Kevrant’s eyes narrowed into crescents. He stared at Lisi for a while before asking,
“What do you want to do with Ravenet’s gold mine?”
“I’ve realized that in life, you need a lot of money.”
“What have you bought so much of?”
“I’ve bought enough to surprise you.”
Lisi stood up and walked towards the window. Her silver hair shone dazzlingly in the sunlight coming through the window.
As she walked, Kevrant lost himself watching the ends of her gown sway.
Although it was just a small woman walking, he couldn’t understand why the world’s gravity seemed to be drawn to her.
“The Green family is a very honorable one, so even without money, they receive everyone’s respect. But respect alone is not enough.”
Lisi spoke, her gaze out the window.
Bathed in sunlight, she seemed about to disappear into a place beyond Kevrant’s reach.
Kevrant approached Lisi.
“Lisi, what on earth do you want to do?”
“First, the hot South. Then, the rugged West, the cold North, and finally, the rich East.”
Lisi turned her head towards Kevrant.
“Everything will be under my feet.”
Kevrant slightly furrowed his brow.
“You have big dreams, Iris. Even the emperors of the Gabijar Empire couldn’t fulfill that desire.”
The Gabijar Empire was the wealthiest country on the Elerond Continent. The emperors of the Gabijar Empire had tried various methods to put the Elerond Continent under their feet, but none succeeded.
Kevrant thought Iris, who had been living quietly in the Wittlo manor, dreamed such an absurd dream because she did not know the world.
“Well, let’s see if the gold mine of Ravent becomes a wallet to satisfy my desires, or a trebuchet to place this continent under my feet.”
Iris’s forefinger poked Kevrant’s chest. Iris’s pale purple eyes, looking up at Kevrant, sparkled somewhat playfully.
“If you’re a man of fortune, you should invest in me.”
In fact, Kevrant could have given something like the gold mine of Ravent to Iris as a gift. It was fine whether Iris bought a dress with the profits from that mine, or a necklace, it didn’t matter.
It was just fun to have such a pointless conversation with Iris.
Kevrant didn’t believe Iris’s ambition to put this continent under her feet.
Even if Iris enjoyed luxury with the gold mine of Ravent, after teasing a bit about today’s conversation, he had to smile and say it’s okay.
With that in mind, Kevrant nodded his head.
“Alright, Lady of Green Earl. I’ll give the gold mine of Ravent to you as a gift.”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
