In the original work, Ludvion was a supporting male character.
Upon learning that Kashar had kidnapped Elysias, he ultimately sided with Mikael and became his knight.
“He harbored feelings for Elysias but couldn’t even confess.”
Elysias finding happiness with the one she loved.
Ultimately, the greatest joy for Ludvion was securing the position as Elysias’s escort knight.
“Surprisingly, Ludvion seems more like a supporting male character than Kashar.”
Though less significant than Kashar, in terms of narrative, he was much closer to the archetype of a supporting male character.
It was then that I was observing him.
At the moment when the giant tribe knight moved, he collided with Ludvion.
“What’s the matter? Move out of the way!”
Ludvion remained in his place and said nothing.
“Being so pale, what kind of knight are you?”
“A knight should at least be my size!”
Jeers from the giant tribe knights poured out towards Ludvion.
Given the significant size difference, it seemed like being ignored was routine for him.
“He still can’t handle spirits.”
Ludvion’s true worth lay in his ability to handle spirits.
Like many supporting characters, Ludvion too had a secret about his birth.
He was a mixedblood of Shireus commoners and Reihart Empire citizens.
Shireus was a nation of people who used natural forces; there were more elementalists than magicians. Among them, descendants of elves excelled in elemental magic.
“Ludvion has elf blood in him.”
But even excellent elementalists had weaknesses.
Namely, frail bodies.
It would be perfect if one could balance the two, but rarely does someone have everything.
Ludvion wasn’t even aware that he could handle spirits. The one who made him realize was the heroine herself.
The moment the continent’s first spirit swordsman was born.
“It was also the moment Elysias gained another follower.”
He didn’t even say he liked her and voluntarily chose to live as her shadow for life.
A pitiable future, but if one looked only at abilities, Ludvion was nothing less than a hidden gem.
“Ignoring such talent would be a national loss.”
Kashar, noticing where my gaze had stopped, opened his mouth.
“Made your choice?”
“Yes, I’ll go with him.”
I was pointing at Ludvion, who stood among the giants.
As expected, the incensed giant and giant tribe knights objected in unison.
“That’s absurd. How can a man who looks like dough escort the duke?”
“Agreed. We are stronger; reconsider!”
I blatantly ignored their cries.
“If I go with knights like you, the carriage might break or get destroyed.”
“We can squeeze in somehow!”
“I’d rather not have it cramped.”
“No, safety is a priority!”
The giants were practically howling.
My gaze moved to Ludvion.
He was also looking up at me, standing on the platform. He seemed to have no inkling he would be chosen.
“As a knight who wields a sword, I believe you’ll protect me well.”
His golden eyes were trembling.
“Ludvion.”
“Yyes, sir.”
At Kashar’s summons, Ludvion stepped forward.
Kashar, with an emotionless face, issued a command.
“Can you take on the role of escorting my beloved?”
“If entrusted, I will protect her with my life.”
He had the resolve befitting a knight.
“It’s not like we’re going to war; we’re just heading downtown.”
Being squeezed between giants, Ludvion was quite skilled with the sword even before he became an elementalist.
I awkwardly smiled and greeted Ludvion.
“Please take care of me, Sir Ludvion.”
Heroine, I’m borrowing your future talent for a bit!
That was when I declared a mock rental.
“Do you like younger men?”
“What?”
I didn’t understand what he was talking about.
Unaware of the reason, Kashar placed his lips next to my ear.
“Be careful. You’ll get in trouble if you have an affair with a young guy.”
“Wwhat are you talking about!”
My face turned beet red in an instant.
Though I angrily questioned him, my inner feelings were different.
“Probe further!”
Such exciting probing could make my heart race as much as it wanted.
However, my excitement was drastically different from the reactions around me.
“Looks like the Lord has challenged his lover to a duel.”
“What a thrilling confession!”
“Awesome duel, we will cheer for you!”
As the cheers of the Main knights grew louder, my excitement dried up like pickled plums.
‘What exactly is this Main world that worships strength and power?’
It was clear that it was a realm I would never understand.
And that evening, my outing was decided.
(Time separator here.)
The next morning.
I stood in front of the waiting carriage.
“Aileen, can’t we go with you?”
“It’s for work today, not leisure. Next time.”
“Hmph.”
Louis clung to my dress and pouted.
Seeing such a sibling, Evan stepped back quietly.
“Take care.”
“I’ll buy you a gift, something you like, Evan.”
“Me, me!”
“Of course, there will be something for you too, Louis.”
Louis finally let go of my dress, satisfied. But his cheeks were still puffed up.
‘I’m going to estimate the repair costs for the Demon Castle.’
I swallowed those inner words while patting Louis’ head.
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.”
