“With the formidable influence of Your Majesty in this place, it was just the right opportunity for Marquis to set a trap.”

The suspicion in the king’s eyes grew as he looked at Marquis. Seeing that, I felt a bit relieved.

At least the king doesn’t seem to be an accomplice. Flustered, Marquis raised his voice.

“What nonsense is this! I returned the necklace! I never received it!”

“Well, the necklace only arrived yesterday after going through various strict security measures. Since you are in the capital, you probably haven’t received the news yet.”

I handed the king the documents and the scented candle.
I handed the documents and scented candle to the king.

“This is a receipt certified by the Morris Territory postmaster. You verified the authenticity of the Tears of the Goddess and even personally received it. And what I presented to you earlier was a candle I intended to show to Marquis.”

“……. ”

Once again, the surroundings became unsettled. The atmosphere had changed slightly from before.

The receipt was a receipt, but what lay before the king was a candle made up of seven different colors.

To inform the king that all the candles up to now had been single-colored, I took out a couple more candles.

One had a water droplet pattern, and the other featured a map of the Cigarette Kingdom.

“I intended to show Marquis these today with joy. I was also filled with expectations about what innovation we could achieve together based on these.”

The king’s brow narrowed as he looked at the receipt and the candles. He gestured to Philipp, Laila, and Marboro with his fingers. Then, he handed the receipt.

After closely examining the receipt, Philipp politely spoke, “The signature of Morris Territory postmaster is definite, Your Majesty.”

Laila and Marboro also agreed with Philipp’s opinion. Upon which, the king called for Alexander.

“The seventh prince of the Verben Kingdom is also staying in Morris Territory. You must have often met the postmaster in terms of your status.”

Alexander smiled and, after confirming the receipt the king presented, said, “……. ”

The amusement in his eyes disappeared as he inspected the receipt.

I recalled the words spoken by Lady Lira before, that the Tears of the Goddess were taken away by a nobleman from the Verben Kingdom.

‘Could that nobleman be Alexander?’

Quietly gazing at me, Alexander kindly addressed the king.

“The postmaster’s signature is correct, Your Majesty.”

With Alexander acknowledging, beads of cold sweat formed on Marquis’s face.

“W-wouldn’t that be impossible!”

The king, after scrutinizing the receipt, looked at the scented candle I gave him this time.

“……The truth will be revealed, so Marquis, stay quiet.”

The king called a knight and ordered an inquiry into whether the real Tears of the Goddess had arrived at Marquis’s mansion.

“By this time tomorrow, we’ll know.”

Then, the king instructed Enoch to ignite the candle. The aroma from the candle wafted through the air.

As the king took a breath, his furrowed brow slowly relaxed. Soon, he mumbled as if talking to himself.

“Oh, this is a rose scent… Interesting.”

Then, he brought the lit candle closer to his nose. Concerned about a burn, I quickly intervened.

“It was brought as a sample, so I made the scent stronger. Even if you keep some distance, it should be sufficient to enjoy the fragrance.”

The king nodded and instructed Enoch to extinguish the candle.

“We’ll learn about the results of today’s events at tomorrow’s party. We’ll meet here again at this time tomorrow.”
Looking at the extinguished candles, the king spoke with a softened voice. He seemed pleased with the scented candles.

“No matter which side, I intend to prevent the dishonor of the innocent. Therefore, anyone who knows about today’s events should be present without exception. I hope not to hear any more related stories today.”

Having finished speaking, the king turned, indicating that it was time to rest. I held the scented candles I had given.

Those who had followed the king also left. It seemed that, from the far end, they were bidding farewell to the king politely.

The king, accompanied by Marboro, Laila, and the chief of staff, disappeared. After that, I noticed Delina speaking affectionately to Philipp.

Philipp responded with an indifferent atmosphere, nodding his head or responding sideways.

Although there was no king to hear the conversation now, no one brought up the Tears of the Goddess as a topic.

“Sigh……. ”

I got nervous, and now I’m getting tired.

“Mild Gyung, we also need to rest a bit.”

Saying that and taking a step, it happened. Marquis’s scornful voice stopped me.

“I almost believed the story about returning the necklace. You tell lies like eating a meal.”

“……?”

“You said you hurt your foot, but it doesn’t look fine.”

“Ah.”

I opened my eyes slightly.

“Even in front of His Majesty, you should endure the pain, shouldn’t you? Now that you’re trying to go in and rest, it’s time to stop making excuses.”

Marquis, with his lips twisted, tried to grab the hem of my dress.

“Then let’s see where the ankle is hurt. If it’s sprained, there should be swelling…… Ugh!”

Marquis’s attempt was thwarted.

“I won’t tolerate it anymore.”

Mild Gyung quickly intervened, seizing his rude hand.

“Let go! What’s this cheap knight saying?”

Marquis, trembling, tried to pull his hand out of Mild Gyung’s grasp. But his resistance was futile.

“I won’t let go anymore.”

Mild Gyung swiftly interjected, and his disrespectful hand was caught.

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.”
