The Duke's Flower is Precarious (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 116
The reception room in the Imperial Palace, where the Emperor and the Grand Duke were holding their tea time, had a markedly different atmosphere than usual—because of the presence of the young Duke of House Hilburn seated with them.
“It brings back old memories, sharing a seat like this.”
Shade blinked slowly, his voice filled with nostalgia. Yet his eyes, observing the relationship between the Emperor and the Grand Duke, were far from relaxed—unlike his tone and demeanor.
“The young Duke used to come and go from your palace as if it were his own home, Your Majesty. So did I.”
Pascal nodded in agreement with Shade’s words. Shade, who had been close friends with Kaeron since childhood, when Kaeron was still the Crown Prince, had often mingled with Pascal, who had loyally followed his elder brother.
“Your Majesty is right. Back then… that’s how it was.”
Shade’s violet eyes narrowed, gleaming with subtle intensity. Back then, Pascal had seemed nothing more than a naive younger brother to him—but the Pascal standing before him now, after so long, carried a distinctly different air.
“Seeing Your Majesty grown so mature fills me with joy. Moreover, I’ve also heard news that you’re preparing for marriage.”
“There’s no shortage of people pressing me about my marriage. Even my late father has begun mentioning it lately.”
“The Emperor’s marriage is a matter of utmost importance, one that shapes the future of the Empire. My father was somewhat concerned as well, since Your Majesty had shown no particular favor toward any lady until now.”
Duke Hilburn, who treated state affairs as his own, had once even grumbled that he wished the Emperor showed even half the interest in women that his own son did. Recalling that face, Shade briefly let out a soft chuckle—only for sharpness to quickly return to his eyes.
“However… I must admit, I was genuinely surprised to hear the identity of the woman Your Majesty has chosen as your bride.”
Shade, setting the stage, immediately followed up with the question he’d prepared, turning to Pascal.
“May I ask—why specifically Lady Rozeline of House Fleur?”
At Shade’s pressing question, Kaeron set his teacup down carefully onto the saucer and called out his name as a warning.
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…
