“Why are you angry?”
In response to Aaron’s question, Delia hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
“I feel like I haven’t been accepted by your family, and it bothers me. I’m worried that I might make things difficult for you because of me.”
“It doesn’t matter to me, Princess.”
Aaron comforted Delia gently, stroking her hair.
His soft, low voice enveloped Delia like a warm embrace.
“I avoid seeing them because I don’t want to. It’s been like that even before I met the princess.”
Delia looked closely into Aaron’s ashen eyes.
Even before I met her?
It was a statement that made her more curious.
There was clearly something.
“But.”
“I don’t want to ruin this happy moment because of them.”
“But I still want to know about you, Commander.”
“I’ll tell you when the time is right. For now, let’s focus on us.”
Delia blinked her eyes and grabbed Aaron’s wrist, which was holding her on both sides.
Her delicate hand with the ring wrapped around Aaron’s wrist.
“If it’s not because of me…”
Delia whispered gently, moving her hand slowly, caressing the muscles that stood out on Aaron’s arm.
Like ivy climbing a wall, her hand ascended his arm, caressing his broad shoulders.
She had never thought her hands were small, but against Aaron’s shoulders, her hands seemed as small as ivy leaves clinging to a wall.
“Commander. Have you ever had a conflict of power with the Emperor?”
A strange glint sparkled in Delia’s blue eyes as she caressed Aaron’s shoulders.
Her two hands met around Aaron’s neck, and she looked up at him with a slight smile, lips slightly pursed.
A surprised smile flashed on Aaron’s face as Delia, holding both his hands firmly, pulled him closer.
“Or did you run away after fighting with your mother? Why did you fight?”
Aaron took a deep breath.
A demanding princess.
Delia’s tempting seduction, even more lethal due to her innocence, was beginning.
Before Delia could enthrall him, Aaron quickly took the lead.
“Anything but that.”
“Anything else?”
“If you have questions about something else, ask. I’ll tell you anything except about my family.”
At Aaron’s urgent promise, Delia’s blue eyes momentarily flashed with a peculiar light.
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“For real?”
“That’s right.”
Upon Aaron’s promise, Delia raised one side of her lips in a sly smile.
It was an ominous smile.
Aaron wondered if he had promised too hastily, a moment of regret.
“Then, Commander. Where is Mei? Bring Mei here right now.”
At Delia’s unexpected question, Aaron’s face became awkward.
“Mei?”
“Surely you won’t say Mei is family.”
With Delia’s daring question, Aaron swallowed dryly.
He thought he hadn’t succumbed to her seduction.
He thought he had taken the lead and turned the conversation.
But he was already ensnared in the trap created by her temptation.
Aaron sighed deeply and replied, “Absolutely not.”
“Then tell me.”
“Because the concubine organization is classified information of the empire.”
“You said you would tell me anything not related to the family.”
“I didn’t know you’d ask about classified matters.”
“Liar.”
Angry Delia pushed Aaron to the side, and thanks to Aaron releasing his strength, Delia easily toppled him.
Delia, riding the momentum of her anger, climbed onto Aaron like riding a horse.
In an instant, the situation reversed.
“Don’t ask about the family. I can’t talk about Mei. You don’t answer anything properly; what should I believe in you?”
“Me! Just trust me. Don’t trust anyone else, only me.”
Although Aaron spoke soothingly, it seemed insufficient to calm Delia’s anger.
Delia bent her upper body and placed her elbows on Aaron’s firm chest.
Pressing her weight on her elbows, she looked down at Aaron.
Delia’s sweet yet rough breath settled on Aaron’s face.
“Make me believe. You promised to answer. Hurry, where is Mei? Call him.”
Despite the elbow pressing on his chest causing pain, Aaron didn’t grimace.
His gaze only deepened on the smooth fruit that seemed to touch his chest.
Aaron, releasing a suppressed breath, asked a question.
“What do you want by calling Mei to confirm? Ask me.”
A thick, fog-like voice settled over Delia’s anger.
The clear anger became hazy like mist.
“To the Commander?”
“I can’t call Mei or Dei, but I’ll check for you.”
“I want to confirm it myself.”
“If anyone can be called at any time, then it’s not a spy.”
Delia’s threatening momentum against Aaron slightly softened.
Seeing the resolute Aaron, it seemed he wouldn’t easily talk about the secrets related to spies.
Well.
Even if Delia faced the same situation, she wouldn’t easily talk about the Ioerenti spy.
Perhaps there needed to be a compromise at an appropriate line.
But it could be a flaw in the Ioerenti royal family.
While Delia rolled her eyes in contemplation, Aaron calmly waited.
His hands were still caressing Delia’s various parts even during her hesitation.
When Delia, who had been hesitating, lowered her voice and cautiously opened her mouth, Aaron listened.
She whispered to Aaron, words she couldn’t say even to her mother.
“Mae said that my brother is trying to restrain me.”
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.

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.
