“She either made them crippled or exiled them.”
There were also those who had died.
“She’s trying to eliminate them early.”
The royals awaken the ability of the dragon around the age of 15.
The reason the Queen wants to kill the young royals is for fear that they will awaken special abilities.
So far, the Queen has left Louis and Evan alone because the children have not reached the age of awakening.
But unlike the Queen’s expectations, the twins awaken their abilities at the age of 8.
This was a very rare case.
“If I refuse her invitation.”
The Countess will immediately run to the Queen and plead if the princes do not move according to her plan.
Tell her to have her way with those spoiled princes and kill them.
“Then that’s it.”
I stood still in that spot for a long time after the Countess’s people all disappeared.
“Aileen, are you okay?”
“…Ah, yes, I’m fine. Rather, how are the princes?”
“Aileen!”
I saw Louis and Evan from a distance.
Louis, who ran to me first, threw himself into my hug.
“Where did you go!”
“I had to go out for a moment. Did you have fun playing?”
Louis’s face looking for me was radiant.
I couldn’t stiffen my face in front of him.
I hugged Louis tightly with a forced smile.
“Yes! There were so many toys! But it would have been more fun if I played with Aileen!”
“You speak so prettily. Shall we play together after dinner?”
“Yay!”
“I’ll prepare dinner for you soon.”
“Yes, yes, I’m hungry!”
Louis took my hand and tried to go inside the palace.
Led by the child’s strength for a moment, I reached out to Evan, who was standing blankly.
“Er, Evan, shall we go in too?”
Unlike the happy Louis, Evan’s mood looked very bad.
Evan, who was staring at me, turned his back abruptly and went inside first.
Emma spoke with worried eyes, looking at Evan.
“Evan’s been in a bad mood all day.”
“…Hmm, I’ll try to cheer him up. Let’s go in too.”
Knowing exactly why he was upset, I could only bow my head in silence.
Arriving late, the dinner was simple.
I played with Louis for a long time to make up for it until he got tired.
‘Of course, Evan didn’t even fart.’
Even Evan, who didn’t participate in the play, was together when it was time to sleep.
I patted Louis and Evan’s covered blanket for a long time.
Ding dong. Ding dong.
The sound of Louis’s breathing, who had fallen asleep early, echoed in the room.
His sleeping figure was so lovely that I couldn’t take my eyes off Louis for quite some time.
Eventually, my gaze turned to Evan.
Even though he had been in bed for a while, Evan was still awake.
“Um, Master Evan. About today’s incident….”
I took a while to choose my words.
What should I explain so that he won’t be hurt?
Seeing a child whose pride was severely wounded by the day’s events, I felt uneasy.
Evan sighed, frustrated when I couldn’t forget what I had to say.
And then,
“Don’t worry about it, just worry about yourself.”
The child turned to the opposite side. There was a firm determination not to talk.
Nevertheless, I couldn’t leave my seat.
My gaze went to the blanket. Where Evan’s leg should be.
‘……They said a lot of blood was shed.’
In the original work, the twins’ terror stemmed from the sharp sword and the blood that soaked the floor.
And the adults were the ones who drove the children to the extreme.
‘I have to protect them.’
I must protect the children. Any normal adult would have acted the same as me.
Before leaving the twins’ room, I spoke sincerely.
“Have sweet dreams, Master Louis, Master Evan.”
Wishing them happiness even in their dreams.
I will prevent all the nightmarelike things that may happen in reality.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
