This was because within his blazing field of vision was a man with a smooth physique, red eyes, and a black panther mask.
‘That bandit-like guy. How dare he… to Lucia…’
The King of the allied country, who had always been so precious to him, now looked more like a villain than anyone else in the world.
Perhaps this was inevitable.
To boast and show off like this with a friendly match.
Such foolish thoughts were no different from bragging about taking a treasure that lays golden eggs from this continent.
Especially now that he had opened such a grand market, he couldn’t rule out that nations seeking to acquire Lucia might take advantage of the situation at any time.
‘I even lied, saying that anyone who goes to the training camp to prevent meeting negotiators from Lucia is a hired hand. I trampled on those efforts.’
In any case, he was like a raccoon Emperor.
“Are you all right, Your Majesty?”
“Ah! You surprised me!”
When Prince Irene touched the Emperor’s shoulder, he was startled and quickly splashed water on his face.
“Ah, well, wouldn’t it be nice to get some sleep even for a moment?”
“Enough. Did you give Lucia a different mask?”
“Yes, with that kind of mask, even with the same black hair, they’ll be mistaken for high-ranking nobles.”
“Phew, now I can finally relax.”
Certainly, there were no high-ranking nobles with black hair.
But the Emperor, who had never invited Lucia to the palace until now, filled the palace with black hair, even calling on emerging nobles.
However, the Emperor’s sensitive ears perked up suddenly after a while.
The lively chatter of the people who had just been making noise stopped in an instant.
Anxiety surged.
When he opened his eyes, people began to disperse like willows along the stream.
It looked like a moment when a ferocious predator had set foot.
That was when.
Suddenly, the Emperor’s aide rushed in with quick steps.
“Your Majesty, it seems like the commander Lucia has arrived.”
“What!? Commander Lucia? No, how did you…!”
The Emperor was even more surprised as the aide unknowingly progressed with the situation.
As he sat there catching his breath, the moment his knees straightened, someone noticeable appeared between the two rigid men under the table.
And they shouted.
“Darn it!! That’s definitely Lucia, no matter who sees it!”
That’s right.
With the brilliant eagle mask, Lucia, who conquered the Black Knights, confidently entered the venue between the two stern men.
Not in a dress but in military attire, she appeared at the banquet hall.
In the end, everyone in the venue noticed the entrance of the black monster, and the King of Karzeph was already moving briskly toward her.
At that moment, the mansion of the Kilgis Ducal Family.
“What? What did you just say? Young master sneaking into the palace?”
“No, it’s not sneaking in; it’s more like exploration. Ah, no… Ha.”
Even though the act of secretly going to the palace at this late hour was not explained as anything other than intrusion, Evan, entangled in Sheryl’s face, was thoroughly confused.
“Hoho, whose idea is this, after all? You’re doing something useless.”
“…I can’t help it. It suits her.”
“Oh my. Is it the princess’s idea? My goodness. The night of the banquet is busy enough. Ah, so, is this decided for today?”
The court lady Anna from the Gonguk, as usual, smiled as if she found it amusing, but her slightly wrinkled eyebrows seemed to indicate that something was not to her liking.
“Anyway, they said the carriage would arrive through the back door, so open the path moderately.”
“Well, okay. Just make sure his Grace the Duke doesn’t have to worry. Understand? The young master is smarter than anyone, you know.”
“…”
Upon her words, Evan instinctively lowered his ashy eyes.
Then, with a sudden surge of embarrassment, he clenched his fist.
‘The mouthy witch dares to…’
A semi-intimidation, uttering the most feared name of his grandfather for the child.
In response to Evan’s intense gaze that seemed to have understood, Anna left with a satisfied smile.
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.
