As Patrick added unpleasant curses, the Duke of Seiren frowned and signaled to his son.
Patrick looked like he had been rolling on the battlefield with his mouth agape.
“How dreadful to think that I almost took him as a soninlaw.”
“I told you before that he seems untrustworthy, Father.”
The two continued to vent their anger for a while before Reneb could bring up the important matter.
“I’m worried that the royal family might find fault with the Seiren family over this matter.”
“Don’t worry about that. They also couldn’t find any evidence other than the flying stone.”
“Yes. He barged in here without any notice from his side. He wasn’t even injured.”
Patrick pouted, sounding disappointed.
“That’s fortunate. Then I’ll go in. Today, I’m a bit tired.”
The two men looked up simultaneously as Reneb rubbed her eyes.
“Ah, is that so?”
“Yes, you must be tired. Go in and rest.”
“Yes, goodnight.”
Reneb engraved the sight of the two men in her memory and turned around.
‘I’ll be careful.’
(This is a time separator.)
Before the full sunrise at dawn.
Reneb, having placed a brief letter on the desk, deeply wrapped herself in a robe.
In her previous life, before marrying Lucius and entering the imperial palace, she had briefly considered taking along the maid who had served her.
However, she soon shook her head.
One of the girls had to care for her sick mother and younger sibling, and the other was about to be proposed to by a blacksmith’s employee.
Reneb didn’t want to separate them because of her situation.
Nor did she want anyone beside her, so Reneb decided to leave alone.
Reneb confirmed the carriage waiting at the back door through the window, then picked up her luggage.
The day Lucius came to the Duke’s residence.
The Duke of Seiren seemed to have tried hard to prevent Reneb’s trip to Basuker.
That’s why the Empress, fearing things might go wrong, sent someone late at night.
「If your mind hasn’t changed, please prepare to leave immediately.」
Reneb threw the Empress’s letter into the fireplace and left the bedroom.
Squeak.
When she cautiously pushed the door and came out, stifling her footsteps.
“……?”
The moment Reneb felt a presence and started to turn around.
“Hush.”
A large hand that reached from behind covered Reneb’s mouth. She could tell who it was from the fresh fragrance that she had recognized before.
Did he doubt that she would regret and flee secretly?
Feeling a bit displeased at the thought of not being trusted, Reneb casually patted the man’s hand, and only then did the man release his grip.
“Does the escort chosen by the Emperor of Bashuker take pleasure in home invasions?”
Upon Reneb’s fleeting glance, Icar’s eyes widened a bit.
“Aren’t you surprised?”
“If I were surprised twice, I’d end up in the underworld.”
Leading the way, Reneb brushed against her chest without Icar noticing.
‘Ah, surprise.’
There were no tears, but they almost fell.
“Is it okay to leave without telling your family? You won’t step foot on the empire’s soil again for 3 years.”
Reneb stopped and looked back at the mansion.
“If… if I can step on the land of Paradium alive again. Then I’ll have to apologize.”
“A truly coolheaded lady.”
Icar said, opening the carriage door.
“I guarantee it. 3 years later, you will be able to step on the land of the Paradium Empire safely.”
Even though he was the one who demanded a hostage in Paradium?
Reneb changed her mind about teasing His Majesty the Emperor, who was so considerate.
“Keep that promise.”
His Majesty the Emperor of the enemy country.
She swallowed the rest of her words.
When Reneb opened her eyes again, she was still in the shaking carriage.
“One can never say the ride is comfortable. You were sleeping well.”
Icar, who was sitting across from her and indifferently looking out the window, spoke without looking at her.
Reneb checked the state of her disheveled clothes while she was asleep. Reflecting on her carelessness in front of the enemy’s emperor.
“Come to think of it, we haven’t introduced ourselves formally.”
“Siren Countess’ Forbidden Hell Leaf, Reneb. Right?”
Icar gestured slightly toward Reneb as if he knew her name.
“Thank you for introducing me.”
Reneb gestured to Icar in the same way, indicating it was now his turn to introduce himself, since he had introduced himself as her escort. There was plenty of room to excuse her somewhat informal behavior.
“Ha, just call me Dran.”
Icar introduced himself as Dran with a hollow laugh.
Reneb stared at him with clouded eyes. She certainly remembered hearing the name Dran.
For example, it was the name of the man called the left hand of the enemy’s emperor.
“Ah, Dran. But I understand that the Emperor of Bashuker is now in Paradium. Aren’t you going back with His Highness Dran?”
Icar responded naturally.
“The Emperor, His Majesty, said he still has business in Paradium.”
“Ah…….”
Reneb drooped her head with uninterested eyes. Icar turned slightly toward her and asked.
“Why, are you also interested in the emperor of a foreign country?”
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…
