‘Ahaha… Well, even I wouldn’t give relationship advice to the Rosé from the original story.’
Because the only thing the original Rosé knew how to do was to beg for love.
“Hah… It’s okay.”
Saeleun replied, letting out a deep sigh. Rosé’s pride was somehow hurt by Saeleun’s attitude, but she couldn’t get angry at a child.
‘I am an older sister. Let’s let it slide with a generous heart.’
Rosé turned a gentle smile towards Saeleun, a smile as if she was a wise adult, and then she spoke softly.
“Anyway, I feel uncomfortable being called ‘wife’ now. I’m not a wife anymore.”
Rosé meant for him to call her casually, but Saeleun interpreted it differently.
‘I just threw a tantrum in front of a person who just got divorced.’
Saeleun froze on the spot, watching Rosé’s reaction. Then he bowed his head at 90 degrees and apologized.
“I’m sorry.”
He felt ashamed of his thoughtless behavior in front of Rosé, who would be as heartbroken as him.
‘…She probably couldn’t sleep well.’
He slowly lifted his head to look at Rosé’s face.
“No, I’m really okay.”
Rosé spoke cheerfully to Saeleun, who was deeply misunderstanding her words, while waving her hand. But even that looked like she was forcing a smile in Saeleun’s eyes.
‘She might faint if she knew that Earl Eric was getting remarried tomorrow.’
There were no secrets in the world, so sooner or later, it would reach Rosé’s ears, but Saeleun wanted to hide it as much as possible.
“Really. I don’t care about Eric getting remarried.”
At the word ‘remarried’, Saeleun blinked his eyes and stared at Rosé.
“…How do you know that?”
At the sight of Saeleun looking at her with his big eyes rolling round and round, all Rosé did was shrug her shoulders.
“Well, I naturally found out. The wedding is tomorrow, right?”
If she said she had even seen Eric’s wedding invitation, Saeleun’s eyes might pop out.
Rosé looked at Saeleun with her eyes halfclosed in the shape of a crescent moon.
Saeleun was utterly confused by Rosé’s behavior.
‘Does she really not care? Then… all the recent actions weren’t to win over Earl Eric, but because her feelings had really cooled down?’
Saeleun was one of the people who wanted Rosé’s love to be fulfilled.
Not because Eric was a good person, but because Rosé was pitiful. He wanted to see her being loved unconditionally by the person she loved.
“…Yes, he’s getting married tomorrow.”
Since Rosé already knew all the facts, there was no need to deny it.
“Hmm, that’s a shame. I wanted to go and see it.”
“Excuse me?”
Why go to her exhusband’s wedding?
Saeleun tilted his head, unable to understand Rosé’s intentions.
“Just… There’s someone I want to see.”
To be precise, she wanted to see Doana writhing in shame.
“Excuse me?”
Rosé’s words could only be confusing to Saeleun.
She said she had forgotten Eric, but what did she mean by ‘want to see’? Saeleun looked at Rosé with a complex gaze.
Then, Demon, Rosé’s father, appeared from afar. He saw his daughter with a strange man and scowled fiercely.
He quickly moved his steps toward Rosé and Saeleun. Then he grabbed Saeleun’s wrist.
“Who are you?”
He looked at Saeleun with a cold gaze, then squeezed his hand to pressure him.
Ordinary people would have been in pain from Demon’s pressure, but Saeleun was calm. Demon narrowed his eyes at Saeleun.
“Dad, this is Saeleun, who used to escort me from the Earl’s house.”
Rosé, who hadn’t noticed anything, introduced Saeleun with a bright expression.
“Greetings, my lord. I am Sereun.”
Sereun politely greeted after extracting his hand from the grip of the demon.
“So, you are Count Serebiat. However, visiting our Rosé at this late hour… what is the matter?”
The man was entirely a dark black creature, except for the demon himself, of course. He watched Sereun with a wary eye.
“I was on an errand and got lost. You can’t imagine how happy I was to bump into you!”
The demon’s suspicion only grew at Rosé’s chattering words.
“You got lost… at this hour?”
All the stores had closed a long time ago.
This place was seldom crowded, but it wasn’t a complex maze. If one intended to leave, they should have been able to do so a while ago.
Did Rosé come here with bad intentions, or did she come with a different motive?
Sereun found the demon’s gaze burdensome.
‘… I should avoid this situation.’
Having confirmed that Rosé was safe, it was time to return to the mansion.
He had no desire to stay in this uncomfortable situation. Sereun bid Rosé farewell.
“I think it’s time for me to leave.”
“Oh, okay. I’ll contact you, see you then.”
“Yes.”
Rosé waved both hands at Sereun. Sereun also politely bid farewell to the demon beside Rosé, and quickly left the place.
Upon confirming Sereun’s departure, the demon spoke.
“Did you change your mind about that guy?”
“Huh? Hahaha. No.”
Rosé shook her head at the demon, who was looking at her with a very serious expression.
“Sereun is the boyfriend of a maid I care about.”
Despite Rosé’s clarification, the demon’s expression was still very serious. He looked down at his right hand and pondered.
‘… He’s not an ordinary guy.’
He had more than enough skill to be a squire…
The demon knew well that Rosé’s escort knight was a lowskilled squire.
He pretended to be uninterested in Rosé, but he knew more about Rosé’s rumors than anyone else.
“… Don’t trust that guy too much. He definitely has a bad back.”
The demon warned Rosé in a low, subdued voice.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“I’m sorry, mother.”
Eric and Tersia sat across a table. He bowed his head in front of Tersia like a criminal.
“Son, mom is really okay.”
Tersia tried to smile at Eric. As if she really wasn’t affected, she showed her right hand wrapped in bandages.
However, seeing Tersia’s hand only hardened Eric’s expression.
Tersia was injured by the weapon he swung. Tersia had blocked Sedric’s way. Tersia had blocked Eric’s weapon with her hand.
The falling drops of blood couldn’t be forgotten in Eric’s mind.
“Lift your face. What’s with that face of the groom?”
Tersia didn’t ask Eric anything. She just kept repeating that she was okay.
“Don’t worry too much if it’s because of your father. I’ll deal with it.”
Tersia seemed very calm about Eric’s behavior. Because she had been anticipating an incident like this.
She had noticed to some extent that the anger in Eric’s heart would eventually explode.
That’s why she told Sedric not to act like that.
Tersia looked at Eric with a pitiful look.
Her only precious son.
She wanted to raise him better than anyone else, but how did she make him so scarred?
It was hard to break Sedric’s will not to interfere in his education. If she could turn back time, she would definitely prevent Sedric’s education methods.
Tersia’s eyes were filled with sadness as she looked at Eric. She spread her arms towards Eric.
“Come here.”
Eric, who would never come normally, came today. His guilt for hurting his mother was too great.
He slowly got up and approached Tersia. Then, he knelt in front of Tersia.
He leaned his face on Tersia’s lap, as if he had become a child again.
“It’s okay, baby. And don’t worry about the child born between you and Doana. Once she gives birth, Sedric’s heart will surely soften. But I hope a child will be born between you and the Duke of Dikar.”
Tersia comforted Eric’s back, who was leaning on her knee, with warmth.
“Then you can have everything you want.”
With a voice as soft as a lullaby, Tersia whispered into Eric’s ear.
Doana’s child was useless. Not of noble blood, but mixed with the bloodline of utterly common folk.
A child that could threaten the heir, it would be eliminated before it even saw the world.
However, there was no need for Eric to know that.
“I’m really looking forward to tomorrow.”
Tersia’s voice, filled with a smile, was excited.
Not only was there joy in welcoming the heir, but she also infinitely anticipated the sight of Doana, who would be humiliated in front of many people.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
