Gradually, other newspapers also continuously produced articles about the truth of the incident at the Green Mansion.
It was an incredible story to believe, but it was a situation that could not be ignored.
[According to the testimony of the 2nd Prince of the Gavizar Empire…] [If not for the action of Milansis Piamon, the Grand Duke…]The incident involved figures that were difficult to approach.
The 2nd Prince of the Empire and the Grand Duke.
The power of Grand Duke Piamon was comparable to that of the King of Minanasaric.
[Princess Mary Ketben’s Relentless Attempts]
Now the newspapers didn’t even use pseudonyms.
The latest article in the Elerbo Newspaper claimed that Mary’s maid, Jane, was caught trying to assassinate Iris.
The diplomatic mission, prepared to leave to protest to Viscount Green, halted its movements, and the atmosphere in the Minanasaric Royal Palace gradually calmed.
Now, several days after the first newspaper article, Dierof Ketben gathered his officials.
“Is there still no news from Viscount Green’s side?”
“No, Your Majesty.”
“Is there no news that our Mary has left the Green Mansion?”
“No, Your Majesty.”
Bang! Dierof slammed the long conference table with his fists.
“How can Viscount Green do this to me! Even if Mary did something wrong, shouldn’t he have informed me and discussed it first? Huh?”
“Of course, Your Majesty. It seems that Viscount Green has set up various ploys lately, so there’s nothing visible.”
Those words were from Viscount Bovell.
Dierof nodded.
“The young man has taken on the important duty of guarding the relic, so it’s natural for his head to become stiff. But this is unforgivable! The Viscount is ignoring our entire Minanasaric Kingdom. Isn’t that right?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“No, Your Majesty.”
Viscount Bovell and Marquis Callow spoke simultaneously.
Dierof glared at Callow after giving Bovell a nod.
“What did you just say, Marquis Callow?”
“Your Majesty. Even if the princess’s actions are considered sacrilegious, it is not something that can be overlooked quietly.”
“Now… Are you saying there’s a problem because our princess is not a commoner but royalty?”
“That’s not the meaning, Your Majesty. Viscount Green is under the protection of the Holy Kingdom. Moreover, Viscountess Green has received a blessing directly from Her Holiness the Pope. You should consider that the princess’s incident could be seen as an act of disrespect to the Holy Kingdom.”
“Nonsense!”
Dierof slammed the table with his fist.
“No matter how much protection he receives from the Holy Kingdom, he’s just a Viscount! A mere Viscount with a small piece of land!”
“Have you forgotten what happened a few years ago in a provincial city?”
Callow’s reminder made Dierof clamp his mouth shut.
Of course, he hadn’t forgotten.
The horrific incident caused by the relic in a provincial city.
If Kye hadn’t destroyed that relic, the nearby villages and cities would have become uninhabitable.
“Just because Viscount Green is the Guardian of the Relic doesn’t mean we should entrust the punishment of the princess to him?”
“That’s impossible, Your Majesty!”
Viscount Bovell quickly interjected.
[Translating names and genders accurately]
“Entrusting the punishment of royalty to a mere viscount is an event that lowers the dignity of the entire Minanasaric Kingdom. There isn’t even a single viscount like Viscount Green who can handle relics. It’s enough to interrogate such a person and bestow a high position, keeping them close.”
“Viscount Bovell’s words are correct, Your Majesty.”
“Absolutely, Your Majesty, you shouldn’t bow your head to a viscount.”
Some officials sided with Viscount Bovell.
Dierof’s expression brightened upon hearing the words he wanted to hear.
However, Marquis Callow shattered the atmosphere once again.
“Your Majesty, while there are occasional individuals who can suppress the power of relics, finding such people is difficult. Moreover, there is no one as powerful as the Green lineage to suppress. Previously, the Holy Kingdom gathered and tested such individuals, but even with several people combined, they couldn’t properly suppress a single relic.”
It was a well-known story.
The incident where the Holy Kingdom’s efforts to nurture new protectors ended up elevating the honor of the Green family even more.
“Moreover, Sharclan is currently eagerly waiting for an opportunity to invade. It’s not good to associate with the Green family during such times, Your Majesty.”
Marquis Callow’s words were correct.
However, Dierof didn’t want to bow his head to a viscount.
Grasping at the last straw, he turned to Crown Prince Pierre.
“Pierre, what do you think?”
“…I also think Marquis Callow is right.”
“Oh, you weak boy!”
It would have been good if, like the current king of the Sharclan Kingdom did when he was a crown prince, he confidently said, “Don’t worry about this country!”
Dierof sighed deeply.
Callow disagreed with everything Dierof said, and although he didn’t like it, he knew he wouldn’t incur losses by listening to him.
A few years ago, when they sought help from the Sharclan Kingdom during the Ogero subjugation, Marquis Callow strongly argued that they should help, but Dierof ignored him.
If they had helped back then, Sharclan wouldn’t now be eyeing Minanasaric for an attack.
Despite the irritation and frustration, there was nothing they could do right now.
First, they had to bring Mary to this country.
“Prepare the diplomatic mission.”
+++
The Minanasaric diplomatic mission arrived at Viscount Green’s mansion around the end of January.
Marquis Callow represented the diplomatic mission. He volunteered to go directly because he didn’t want to entrust it to someone else who might make a mistake in front of Kye.
While Callow had seen Kye a few times before, the Kye he now faced felt different from before.
The cold aura emanating from the ashen eyes beneath thick eyebrows felt like freezing the lungs.
Even though Kye wasn’t easily amused, this was the first time he radiated such a chilling atmosphere.
After exchanging greetings, Marquis Callow asked, “Is Viscountess Green all right?”
In response to Marquis Callow, who inquired about Rishi’s well-being before Mary, Kye’s expression softened slightly.
“It’s not really okay. The situation is quite complicated….”
Marquis Callow, who naturally expected to hear that everything was okay, was taken aback.
“I-Is that so?”
“It can’t be helped. Accused of attempting to assassinate a princess, almost subjected to heinous acts by a man, and on top of that, nearly killed by the assassin sent by the princess. Wouldn’t it be stranger if everything were okay?”
“…W-Well, yes.”
“Moreover, I’m deeply distressed due to the fact that the perpetrator who attempted such deeds was once a sister to the princess and a member of the Whittler family.”
Marquis Callow realized that Kye wouldn’t easily pass over this matter with just a few words of apology.
“His Majesty sincerely expressed regret about this incident.”
A cold smirk formed on one corner of Kye’s mouth.
“Regret?”
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.
