The image she painted could only be that of Bartony, the best blacksmith on this black continent.
That’s how precious and difficult to handle lanthanum was, a topquality material.
However, Bartony was always stern in refusing Arien’s requests until he finally seemed to give up and acquiesce.
“Can the Elector carry it with him all the time? It would be the best portable protective weapon. You encountered pirates on your return from the naval battle last time, didn’t you?”
Arien brought up the topic of pirates and made a horrific expression.
She used to pull out a secret weapon she had hidden away, and at the end, she would say something to touch his steadfast loyalty.
Bartony, who had hesitated, dropped his shoulders as if he had finished a major exam and responded.
“Hah… how long do you want me to work on it?”
When Bartony said this, it meant that the requested item would be completed a few days later.
“The sooner, the better. Thank you so much!”
Arien, who thought she just had to wait now, raised her thumb enthusiastically to him and left the smithy with a smiling face.
“Oh my, did you lose to the princess again? You resemble the late Queen Estecalri so much. Hehehe.”
Nessler, who was holding a pair of tongs and hammering, had been listening to Arien and Bartony’s conversation and patted Bartony’s shoulder with a laugh.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]As she returned to her room, imagining the magnificent piece to be born from Bartony’s hand, Arien suddenly felt her foot go empty.
‘Oh no, I was so excited that I left my shoes behind.’
As she went to find her shoes, the maids she met in the palace corridor politely greeted Arien.
Hoping that her bare feet wouldn’t be seen, she walked slowly down the corridor and finally arrived in front of a Monstera pot in the corner of the corridor.
She reached behind the pot with a sigh of relief, but all she felt was the cold marble floor.
‘Huh? That’s strange. I’m sure I hid it here.’
Arien, who was taken aback, looked around the pot for her shoes, but there was nothing.
Then a soft voice came from behind.
“Princess Arien, what are you doing there?”
Like a thief caught in the act, Arien was surprised and turned around.
There was Drexel Karim, the captain of the royal guard, standing there, unbeknownst to her when he had come.
Despite the stunning harmony of his brown hair with the silver armor and the purple cloak, Arien couldn’t think of any greeting because of the shoes.
“Ka, Captain Karim. Hello.”
“If there’s anything I can help with, please tell me.”
“No, it’s not that. I was just worried because the Monstera pot seemed a little withered.”
When Arien pointed to the pot and said this, Drexel examined the Monstera pot carefully.
“From what I see, it seems to be growing very well without any problem.”
Drexel Karim was the second highest scorer to graduate from the Planus Royal Academy, just after Arien, who graduated as valedictorian.
In addition, he was a promising figure who was appointed as the captain of the royal guard at a young age, demonstrating his prowess in the knight’s examination.
Getting caught as a foolish royalty who lost her shoes to such Drexel was something she needed to avoid.
As if nothing happened, Arien straightened her waist again, and at the corner of her mouth, she tried her best to smile with dignity and turned towards her room. At that moment, he said.
“Is this what you were looking for?”
A small ribbontied shoe of Arien was gently placed on Drexel’s palm.
Because of his large hand, the shoe looked even smaller.
“Why is that in Captain Karim’s hand?”
“This shoe, a while ago…”
Drexel seemed to be talking about where he found the shoe, but Arien, whose cheeks had already turned red, couldn’t hear his words at all.
She quickly snatched the shoe from Drexel’s hand, put it on, and headed for her room.
Drexel, who saluted respectfully to Arien, was barely holding back his laughter.
The two of them, of similar age, had competed in good faith within the Royal Academy, but since Arien suggested they be friends when no one was around, they had become somewhat casual.
So he knew very well that when Arien acted formally as she did now, calling him ‘Captain Karim,’ it was when she had been caught hiding something.
‘It’s a shame, I should’ve teased Princess Arien more…’
Dressel only relaxed and smiled faintly after Arien had disappeared down the hall.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Even the great empire of ‘Alisian’, which seemed to shine eternally in its splendid form, had been divided into five kingdoms due to the twisted desires of the people who had built and polished it.
One of these was the Planus kingdom, which rose in the south.
While it wasn’t a time of complete peace, the four kingdoms of Nakra in the north, Krun in the northeast, Wedain in the west, and Raul in the southwest sent envoys to the southern Planus kingdom’s celebration to maintain the balance of power.
The celebration for King Galle 5th’s birthday was fast approaching.
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.]
