Lady Devil - Chapter 166
166.
“Recently… I don’t come often. After all, with ‘this’ here, it’s burdensome to fall asleep in your bedroom. If I feel the urge in the middle of the night, it would be troublesome…”
Isolde, who had quietly come down after a very long time, first spoke words that seemed calm yet somewhat like an excuse. Johannes’ hand, which had been tending to the sword used in training, stopped abruptly. He was rather puzzled by her explanation.
As Johannes raised his head towards Isolde, the longsword he carelessly put down swept across the carpet. That white blade, as long as a decent-sized child, was his first real sword bestowed by the duke a few weeks ago.
“On nights when Mother goes to Father’s chambers, don’t you leave your key with Griselda?”
Johannes asked.
“Yes. I do take it back though…”
Isolde, who was doing needlework sitting in Johannes’ armchair, gently folded her hands on top of the embroidery frame and hesitated for a moment. She soon uttered briefly.
“It’s uncomfortable to open and close it in front of you.”
“Open and close what?”
“……”
“Your chastity belt?”
There was no particular answer to Johannes’ confirmation. Even as the flickering golden light from the fireplace filled the dark bedroom, her complexion remained as white as limestone. A dim silence. Johannes then realized that she was reluctant to accurately call ‘it’ by name. Recalling the young Isolde who used to flutter her skirt in front of him, he asked again.
“I’m sorry…. I never thought you’d be uncomfortable.”
“I thought you might think that.”
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…
