The Duke Stole Everything (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 90
The place Sharti and Ren arrived at via Shukadi’s teleportation magic was a mountain peak quite far from the village of Cedipia. It was to avoid being spotted by the noble procession ascending from below.
And inside the fur coat pocket was a note—hidden at some unknown time—indicating where the Kroff Mercenary Company had stashed food for the two of them late at night. Thanks to this, they no longer had to worry about provisions for the return journey.
“At least the wind isn’t too strong yet—that’s fortunate. If the snowstorm gets worse, visibility will become difficult.”
“Shaa, watch your step.”
“Yeah. Don’t worry.”
However, because Sharti had stumbled once in the snow piled up to her ankles, she once again had to be carried by Ren as before.
“This actually feels more dangerous…”
“Are you serious?”
Though they occasionally bickered over trivial matters, Sharti no longer stubbornly insisted on unnecessary things or sank into gloom as she once had. She found the time spent exchanging idle chatter with Ren comfortable.
Seeing that Sharti no longer avoided conversation or seemed uneasy, Ren actively took the lead in their talks.
“That little doctor seemed unusually mature for his age.”
“You mean Tain’s way of speaking?”
Ren was deeply interested in Sharti—especially in those around her.
Though he never directly asked how or when she’d come to know the Bireta family, he was curious about the people she’d opened her heart to.
“When Tain was younger than he is now, Grandma’s comrades often visited their home. Back then, rookie mercenaries would get overly excited about meeting Grandma, whom active mercenaries called a legend.”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
