Ruth, who had arrived in front of the reception room without realizing it, let out a deep sigh. And just as she was about to grab the door handle.

“Miss Ruth.”

“Ah!”

Ruth, startled by the voice that came right next to her, screamed. Blair, who was equally surprised by her loud reaction, apologized.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you.”

Ruth worried that Blair might have heard her sigh or sensed her embarrassment at being caught off guard. Fortunately, Blair’s expression showed only surprise. Thankfully, it seemed like she hadn’t heard.

“Oh, no. I wasn’t paying attention, so I didn’t know you were coming.”
Ruth, who was about to enter the reception room without much thought, realized there was no need to do so and stopped.

“Shall we start by looking around the banquet hall?”

The two of them began to explore the mansion together, starting with the banquet hall and moving on to places like the lounge or balcony where guests could rest.

Contrary to Ruth’s concerns about awkwardness, once the conversation turned to the banquet, it naturally flowed, and they talked without difficulty.

Ruth stood by Blair, jotting down things she needed to repair or additional decorations in her notebook as Blair talked.

Blair was much more adept and meticulous in preparing for the banquet than Ruth had anticipated.

“I heard that banquets were rarely held during the princess’s time, but it seems like you’ve done it several times before.”

Ruth silently admired Blair’s handling of tasks and followed her.

Next was the hall where you could roughly learn about Delmark’s history.

The hall featured portraits of past Delmark dukes, various paintings ranging from early duke couples to Heradin’s portraits.

When banquets were held, this hall was open as well. While the event might be just a day of enjoyment for the participants, for the host family, it was also a day to promote their lineage.

Although it didn’t attract much attention, it was an important place for the hosting family.

Upon entering the hall, the first thing that caught their eyes was a massive tapestry embroidered with angelic wings.

“The motto of Delmark.”
Blair knew the origin of that inscription.

In the distant past, during an era when monsters and demons disrupted the world.

In this world, mythical beings existed.

Like other monsters, they came from a different world, but instead of causing chaos like disruptive monsters, they sided with humans, safeguarding the peace and order of this world.

The world gradually found stability, and the mythical beings left, considering their task in this world was done.

Despite all of their kin leaving, the last mythical being who remained in this world, having fallen in love with a human woman, mourned the loss of their lover in the last war.

Before leaving this world, he wanted to pass on a part of his power to the former emperor, who was a comrade of his deceased lover. Even though his lover had died, he knew she had loved humans.

However, there were two flaws in his formidable power.

The first was the risk of it going out of control if not properly handled since it involved confining power beyond the human body’s capacity.

The second was that, in special circumstances, he could draw upon an overwhelmingly powerful force beyond limits, but the cost was the lifespan of the loved one.

Given the nature of this abnormal power that could disrupt the balance of the world, such regulations were imposed.

However, the emperor refused the inheritance of power.

The emperor was the core of the country.

If a leader who should never be shaken by any means were to be overwhelmed by power and go berserk, it would inevitably lead to a crisis for the country.
Instead, she passed on that power to the most trustworthy person, her close friend and loyal knight, the current Duke of Delmark.

Thus, the symbol of Delmark became not the mythical being itself but its wings—the wings that safeguarded this world as guardians when the mythical beings departed.

In this way, the power of the mythical being continued to be passed down to the direct descendants of Delmark.

However, one of the past Dukes of Delmark, who lost their lover as the cost of the power, removed the second constraint.

Wishing that their descendants wouldn’t experience the same sorrow, people criticized the selfish choice, but they didn’t know how to reinstate the already vanished constraint.

As a result, the descendants of Delmark couldn’t wield power beyond limits afterward, but since they still possessed the power of the mythical being, Delmark remained strong and prosperous.

This was the story Blair knew.

“So, I was quite worried…”

While some envied and admired him for having a power that others couldn’t overlook, Blair worried about him.

The weight of the power given to protect others was too heavy, and she feared he might be swallowed by it.

Could he face a tragic end, oppressed by that power, like her father, who met a sorrowful demise?

However, knowing it was a wound he didn’t want to revisit, she couldn’t voice her concerns.

“This is the current Duke, the previous Duke’s successor.”
Leading Blair into the hall of portraits, Ruth briefly explained the people depicted in the portraits one by one. Knowing the history of the family to which she belonged was a basic skill for the Duchess.

Of course, for Blair, who had returned, these were already familiar details.

As Ruth finished her explanation of the particular portrait, Blair moved on to the next one.

At the same time, Blair’s steps came to a halt.

“This painting…”

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.

[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
