―Taylor Lawrence is not Raina Astalin’s lover.
What on earth happened?
Kay, whenever he paused in writing the report, sighed anxiously and gently touched his face, which was showing a bewildered expression.
He was so flustered that he almost bit his pen.
Not a lover.
Not a lover?
Before the interview with Raina Astalin.
So, before delving into the investigation about her.
Arthur shared key information with Kay to conduct the interview.
It was mostly focused on essential information about her vulnerabilities or potential leverage.
The possibility of economic difficulties.
The possibility of health issues.
And details about Taylor Lawrence, the son of her attending physician, Dr. Alvin Lawrence.
Unlike briefly touching on all other issues,
Arthur had a lot to say specifically about Taylor Lawrence.
Taylor Lawrence.
Her fiance,
Known to Dr. Alvin Lawrence, and there seems to be no objection to the relationship with his son.
‘Raina’ expressed a desire to meet him before making a decision,
Lady Presland has allowed their romantic relationship,
And perhaps returning to him is Raina’s ultimate goal.
So, keep in mind not to show any signs of opposition when contacting him.
We will respect her choice,
And we will make sure Taylor meets her unconditionally.
We will keep the possibility open to reflect anything related to him as much as possible.
Being a timid and cautious person,
We will carefully examine her intentions
and respect her will…….
“…….”.
The moment Kay heard those words, he recalled the favor and trust Raina had shown toward Arthur, and unexpectedly realized one fact.
His Excellency hasn’t shared a bed with that woman since his return.
So, that woman relied heavily on His Excellency, showing a posture of not touching her and protecting her, and…
And His Excellency.
“…….”.
But isn’t it true?
Not even engaged, let alone lovers?
Where did this error come from?
His Excellency has never been wrong with such information.
Kay, like Tristan, vaguely knew about Arthur’s extrasensory ability.
Having spent a decade together on the battlefield risking their lives, Arthur’s closest aides naturally speculated about the scope and limitations of his abilities.
He couldn’t hear every sound in every space, but it seemed that he could hear sounds in spaces that ordinary people couldn’t hear when he wanted to.
He seemed to be able to detect the shapes or movements of hidden objects, even things like temperature.
Given that it was something shared only with Prince Kyle, presumably a royal secret, no one asked about it.
So, when Arthur occasionally had information that other knights couldn’t know,
Arthur’s closest knights were accustomed to accepting it without suspicion.
Through his ability, it must be information obtained.
Even if I don’t know exactly what that is, Arthur has his own reliable means, as he can directly ‘hear.’
They didn’t ask about the source and acquisition route of the information Arthur mentioned; they simply believed it.
It was their principle.
“…….”.
But the information was wrong.
The information that Taylor Lawrence is Raina Astalin’s lover is an error.
There is no possibility of a lie.
That woman can’t lie.
Kay clenched his fist and pressed his furrowed forehead against it.
… What happened?
Arthur, at the very least, thought of him as an engagement partner or lover.
So, he hadn’t shared a bed with her and had been keeping his distance.
“…….”.
He had to share it with Arthur.
But is it really okay to do that?
What happens after that?
“… You said you didn’t even want to meet other men, but you talk well.”
“Just. A gift.”
Smiling, the scene of him gently tying a lace handkerchief to her came to mind.
And the expressionless faces of Arthur who was unconsciously pursuing ‘Raina Astalin’ came to mind one after another.
It was evident that he cared about her.
But Kay thought that Arthur was thinking of sending her away safely, planning for her, and felt his excellent self-control.
So he thought there was no need to worry.
But what if Arthur mistakenly thought that Raina Astalin had another lover and was keeping his distance because of that?
Kay touched his cooling forehead.
What the hell…
What should I do?
Is what I have in my hands a bomb?
When this conversation came up during the interview with her,
Kay thought that Arthur would have listened to the entire content of the interview with her.
So it was an instant realization.
Since he thought that Arthur would have known everything the moment those words came out of her mouth.
But when he came out, Arthur was already leaving the mansion.
He hadn’t heard ‘Raina’s’ words that Taylor was not her lover.
If only Arthur had heard everything, he might not have felt like ruining things with my own hands.
As if giving a last chance, a disturbing key was grasped in his hand.
Kay looked down at the last part of the report he had completed.
【― Taylor Lawrence is not Raina Astalin’s lover.】
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.
