The mace that flew past the deputy commander’s face and became a seed of destruction was slowly collapsing into a pillar embedded in the great armor, like dominoes.
The sound echoed like it would shake the sky, with a tremendous roar, and the fragments began to destroy everything in the training field.
“Get rid of the toys that cause problems.”
“Wh, what are you doing!”
“The great armor, the great armor……!”
“Commander!!!”
Although those caught in confusion shouted, Lucia continued with an indifferent face.
“It doesn’t make sense for other knight orders to use it when our kids can’t. I will tell His Majesty after this time. From the moment the great armor is rebuilt, the position will be won by competition. I hope your skills are as brilliant as your eloquent speech.”
At that time, the last pillar fell over, and the always majestic great armor was instantly reduced to ruins.
The roars echoing in the imperial palace felt like fanfares announcing her splendid return, not just to the deputy commanders here.
[Star Icon]Emperor’s office.
The room was dark, with the morning sunlight blocked and candles lit, creating a dark atmosphere.
The Emperor was sitting at a large and luxurious desk, smoking a cigar, and the smoke made it feel like a dark underground den.
“Your Majesty, Federlin Ruwins, the Minister, has arrived.”
“Good, you’ve sent everyone else away, right?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
As the Minister entered, the Emperor spoke in a low, scratching tone, like a sarcastic boss in a dark place.
“……You’re here.”
He took a big gulp of the cigar he was holding and blew it out, and his eyes flashed through the smoke.
The Minister looked at him and said,
“It’s strawberry scent, Your Majesty.”
The Minister pulled the curtains and opened the window in the Emperor’s childish and childish office.
Then the morning wind blew in, and the pungent smoke and fresh strawberry scent flew away.
The Emperor squinted his eyes at the sudden intense light.
“Ugh, my eyes……!”
“Please take care of yourself in front of me from now on. This old man, it’s not good for rhinitis.”
Lucia’s promise of a golden week and a healthconscious, strawberryscented, healthy cigarette.
The Emperor carefully groomed the expensive smoke to tease him lightly.
“How much difference does it make…….”
“When I first saw Your Majesty, it was in the garden, secretly taking care of business. It seems like only yesterday that you were crying and making excuses that you were fertilizing…”
“Aaaaah! Enough. Enough! Anyway, what about the Crown Prince’s engagement? What happened?”
Without a moment’s hesitation, the Grand Minister’s words poured out, and the Emperor hastily extended his hand with a flushed face.
Then, the Grand Minister Fedelin, with his long white hair that could be either silver or completely white, and expressionless thin eyes, slightly raised the corners of his lips.
He had been working with the former king since the time of Eldarion Kingdom, so the current Emperor still seemed like a child to him.
“It was a dramatic resolution in just half a year. We agreed on a diamond mine.”
“What? No, how much money is that? If you give that away…!”
The Emperor, who had been listening casually, suddenly furrowed his brow at the mention of the mine.
“If the consolation money given by the Empire is small, it can be looked down upon, Your Majesty.”
“……Tsk.”
Anyway, the Emperor seemed to shrink before the honest and verbose words.
“It has been concluded well, so will you tell the real reason for the engagement now? Do you have any candidates for the Crown Princess in mind?”
In fact, they should have formed an alliance with Ferendel, a powerful nation of similar stature on the continent, as originally planned.
But now, as the nation with the most sword masters on the continent, the Empire was in a state where there was nothing to regret.
That’s why the Grand Minister had agreed, thinking that the naive Emperor was finally going to organize the noble family tree through an engagement within the Empire.
“Aah, well, there is. So, uh… today…”
The Emperor, who always came up with quirky plans.
Looking at him rolling his eyes like a raccoon, it must surely be someone unexpected.
‘Today? Surely, not the unexpected woman who returned to work today…’
“……It’s not Captain Lucia, is it?”
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.”
