“Do not get up.”
As he walked, Arthur intervened.
Reyna, awkwardly holding a pill and a cup of water in her hand, sat on the bed and looked at him.
“……”
The attending physician subtly directed his gaze to Reyna, who, despite her suddenly relieved face upon Arthur’s arrival, didn’t know what to do.
Given the situation, he had been worried, but it was reassuring to see that Arthur wasn’t acting too harsh.
If he’s the kind of person who can make such an expression, he probably won’t make unreasonable demands on a sick child.
The red drink would be fine even after resting for a day or so.
“Take your medicine.”
He reminded her again not to just hold it, but to eat it.
“Ah, yes.”
Reyna, once again awkward with the pill and water cup in her hand, glanced at Arthur and swallowed the medicine.
Arthur came closer and asked.
“Are you okay?”
Reyna hurriedly swallowed the water and responded a step late.
“Yes. I’m sorry for worrying you. Where did you go?”
“It’s an extension of yesterday’s work. I came back after finishing it.”
Reyna hesitated.
She was concerned that she couldn’t accompany him.
“……I’m sorry I couldn’t go with you.”
“It’s okay. It was not a place where you, with your sick body, were obligated to go.”
Arthur turned his head back and beckoned his subordinate with a wink.
The knight who had been guarding the bedroom door came closer.
Arthur briefly introduced him.
“This is my knight. I apologize for letting him into the bedroom without asking for permission. I was worried about leaving your place unattended while you were sick.”
I see.
He must be a trusted person.
Reyna smiled.
“No, thank you for your concern.”
She greeted the knight next to her.
“Hello, sir knight. I’m sorry to greet you in this state.”
“No, please feel free to call me. I am Kei. It’s an honor to meet you, Lady.”
Kei bowed and lightly kissed the back of Reyna’s hand.
“The honor is mine, Sir Kei. Thank you for protecting me.”
If you lie once, it seems to flow smoothly.
It came out smoothly once I tried it.
Much less awkward and……
Reyna smiled slightly.
Arthur, who had been watching quietly, threw a dart.
“Even though you said you don’t want to meet any men other than me, you’re talking well.”
“……”
What does that mean?
Kei sneaked a peek.
Reyna’s face, embarrassed, began to turn red from her neck.
“……”
Seeing her face, Kei silently stepped half a step back.
“……”
……She’s beautiful. It’s dangerous.
Honestly, I didn’t worry much about what Tristan’s words implied.
The image I had imagined after hearing Tristan’s story was completely the opposite.
But it was much more dangerous than that.
I thought of a femme fatale who is beautiful yet inscrutable, subtly revealing her sexual appeal even though it doesn’t seem intentional.
……She’s pretty. She’s pretty, but.
‘She looks pitiful.’
Everything inside her is transparent.
She looked innocent and childish.
Instead of being fatal, it aroused a protective instinct.
And I can guarantee, for Sir Arthur, this was much more dangerous than a femme fatale.
This is worrying.
“……”
Arthur, leaning against a bedpost, gently combed Reyna’s hair with his fingers and tied it with a white lace handkerchief.
As Reyna, with a confused look, touched her hair and looked up at him, Arthur just smiled and said it was a gift.
[This is the time separator]“Is there a problem with my wife?”
It was unexpected that Arthur came closer and asked.
It was just when Dr. Lorensen was about to get up, picking up the empty drug pot and treatment tools from the table.
Arthur’s question continued.
“On the day of the improvement meal, she suddenly collapsed, and in three days she fell ill and couldn’t get up. It feels unusual.”
“……”
Arthur lightly placed his hand on the table and asked while focusing his gaze.
“I want to hear an honest opinion. A conscientious diagnosis as a doctor.”
“……”
Dr. Lorensen glanced at the bed where Hilguk Reyna was.
“……”
It was obvious to Albin Lorensen.
Reyna had been tormented by work almost without sleeping for a month.
Her body was in a state where extreme fatigue had accumulated.
On top of that, the mental stress she would have received in such an unheardof situation.
And the red drink.
It seems that Lady of the Duke drank too much on the first day.
Even if you drink a little bit of diluted daily, it’s a strong medicine.
It was strange that it didn’t ruin her health.
Albin Lorensen withdrew his gaze from Reyna and looked up at Arthur.
“……While we need to wait and see to be certain, it seems to be just an accumulation of fatigue. As you may guess, she has been in a difficult situation in various ways.”
Professor Lorensen sincerely explained the situation of Raina stepping in as Christina’s double, assuming that the listener knew it well.
“But she’s been eating and sleeping better than usual, so she’ll recover soon. It seems that her body couldn’t handle the stress concentrated in a short period of time and she had a brief fainting spell. You probably don’t need to worry too much.”
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.
