It was a huge reward that even the great Julius could wobble for a moment.

He didn’t forget the consolation money for the bereaved families of the fallen, and the promised pension for the bereaved families was also considerable.

In return for paying compensation for such supply omission to all soldiers, Arthur had decided to criticize the duke, albeit ambiguously.

And in addition, there was one unexpected thing.

【Lady Christina, together with Sir Arthur, visited the families of war veterans, a late reveal becomes a hot topic!】

I didn’t know she was Lady Christina.

She came with Sir Arthur, but she was quietly crying from behind…

I couldn’t imagine that she would be Lady Christina because she didn’t introduce herself.

She was a beautiful lady with blond hair and beautiful eyes.

The shocking exclusive report that ‘Arthur’ had personally visited the families of the bereaved war veterans with ‘Lady Christina’ on the second day of Arthur’s return followed.

Just standing behind without revealing her identity, the ‘Lady Christina’, who was known only as a haughty and picky wealthy young lady, quietly shed tears and left.

The newsletters were boiling with admiration and surprise at the hidden human aspect of her that had been hidden for a long time.

Julius had made a comeback as a knight.

It was worse than before, but gifts and visitors began to gather again for Julius.

The Duke and Duchess of Julius, who barely managed to recover thanks to ‘Christina’s’ anecdote, breathed a sigh of relief.

And they began to watch out for Arthur’s mood.

Although he had made a comeback as a knight. It was a complex feeling.

[This is the time separator]

The duchess was pacing anxiously.

From 11 AM for about an hour.

It was time for Teacher Lorensen to visit Reyna and Arthur.

And the time he returned to the duchess was usually between 12:30 and 1.

Officially, it was the time when Teacher Lorensen came to treat the arm and leg of the duchess, who had been injured from falling down the stairs a few days ago.

“…….”

As she completely bent under and started to watch Arthur’s mood, the duchess, who started to get anxious, began to obsess over the ‘weakness of Arthur’ report left to Reyna.

The duchess, who kept checking her watch and repetitively sat down and stood up, jumped up from her seat and asked as soon as Alvin Lorensen, her attending physician, entered through the door.

“What? Is there still no news today?”

Teacher Lorensen sighed deeply and shook his head briefly.

“My Lady……. She’s been with him for just a week, what kind of weakness would that naive and tiny thing bring? If that were possible, would Reyna be serving as a maid? She would have been scouted somewhere and would be working as a spy or intelligence agent.”

The duchess was irritated.

“Why not a week? A week is enough! There should be something to see and hear if she stays with him day and night!”

Teacher Lorensen sighed deeply and looked at the lady with stifling eyes.

“No, is Sir Arthur a fool? You said Sir Arthur knew from the beginning that she was a fake. He must suspect that she received such an order from you. Would he let her easily catch his weaknesses? He’s someone who has been through a real war for five years.”

The duchess bit her lips, and then she screamed hysterically.

She was furious and upset.

She should have given the order secretly from the beginning.

Why did she pressure Reyna in front of Arthur and brought her with her?

She didn’t even need to have a serious conversation, she took Reyna with her to show off her power to Arthur and wasted time.

She wanted to show him that she didn’t care about him.

Although she intentionally took more time to make him jealous of what she was talking about.

As a result, the one who got upset was herself.

The duchess was nervously biting the end of her fan.

Now that it’s done, he must suspect that Reyna received some order from me, right?

It was as Teacher Lorensen said.

She must be on high alert.

“…….”

While wrestling with her conscience, the Duchess found her judgement twisted.

‘Shouldn’t there be some kind of sign that I’m making an effort, even if I can’t bring any weaknesses in a week?’

The Duchess turned her head swiftly and spoke to Mr. Lorensen.

“Alvin. Visit your son once. I’m talking about Taylor, who is with Grandma Reyna.”

Perhaps it might be worth using Taylor as bait once.

A spark flickered in the Duchess’s eyes.

[This is the time separator]

Arthur’s private garden.

Reyna happily relished the last morsel of mushroom on her plate, basking in the warm and savory flavor filling her mouth.

The juicy, moist brown mushrooms imbued with the steak juices were absolutely delightful.

So delicious…

While relishing, Reyna sneakily checked Arthur’s plate.

“…..”

As expected. He doesn’t eat mushrooms.

Out of curiosity, she counted how many mushrooms were on his plate initially.

Although most of the steak had disappeared, the three nicely grilled mushrooms remained untouched on his plate.

He hadn’t even touched a single one.

With that, Reyna was nearly certain.

Arthur doesn’t eat mushrooms.

The other type of mushrooms on the steak plate last time.

He didn’t touch the chicken mushroom stew or the mushroom soup either.

It’s delicious. Why?

“Sir Arthur.”

“Hm?”

Reyna briefly rested her gaze on his plate before looking up at Arthur.

“Do you dislike mushrooms?”

“…. Huh? Oh.”

Arthur hesitated, wavering over whether to pretend otherwise while fumbling with his utensils.

However, seeming to realize he’d been caught, he sheepishly laughed and put down his mushroomladen fork.

What? Is he embarrassed about being picky with food?

Reyna suddenly felt a little elated.

She felt as though she had discovered something about him for the first time.

Arthur smiled shyly.

“…. Do you think I’m silly?”

“No. Just…. Surprised.”

Reyna chuckled with the end of her fork in her mouth.

“It’s tasty….”

Arthur glanced at Reyna and laughed.

“…. You seem to enjoy it. Shall I get more?”

“Huh? No, if you’re not eating it, I’ll just….”

Reyna stopped midsentence.

…This doesn’t seem like a ladylike behavior.

Would Lady Christina have called someone over?

But just for mushrooms?

“Uh….”

Reyna decided to decline.

Arthur chuckled and offered her a mushroom from his plate with his unused dessert fork.

Their seats at the small outdoor round table were quite close.

“….”

Oh, whatever.

Ignoring a slight blush, Reyna leaned in a bit and ate it.

It was delicious, as expected.

As she covered her mouth and chewed, Arthur offered her a second mushroom.

“….”

Arthur chuckled.

“I don’t hate it, I just don’t prefer it.”

After eating once more, Reyna was about to ask after swallowing,

Why?

But the answer came from elsewhere.

“He had a hard time after eating poisonous mushrooms.”

The source of the unfamiliar voice made Arthur’s expression reveal surprise.

“Kyle.”

Huh?

Reyna stared at the suddenly appearing blond man in confusion.

“….”

Upon making eye contact, he flashed a smile.

“Hello.”

Huh?

Kyle?

Where had she heard that name….

“….”

Reyna was frozen in shock and then screamed as if she was shrieking.

“Prince Kyle?!”

Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife

I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!

Intro

When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.

After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.

Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.

Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.

At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.

Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.

The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.

He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.

[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
