“What now? All the gauntlets hung in the grand armory have been buried!!”
“We’re even more severely affected! The new lances we ordered for the horseback riding competition are all there……!”
Leon passed through the first floor of the knight order building where everything was in chaos, and went up to the second floor, to the office of the white and black knight orders.
He thought it was finally getting a little quiet, but,
“B, big trouble! Commander Leon, due to the collapse of the grand armory, the experimental magic tools that were in the resting place have……!”
As soon as he opened the door, the deputy commander of the white knights, covered in the dust of the broken grand armory, was waiting for Leon.
“Enough. Deputy Commander Eli. Our mage division doesn’t even use that place, why are magic tools in the grand armory?”
“Ah. That, that’s because…….”
It must have been left there in the relaxed atmosphere after the war, mingling with other knight orders for fun.
However, his scolding was not only for that reason, and he soon loosened his expression and sighed.
“I’m sorry for raising my voice. Place the order. The situation is no different elsewhere, so it will be resolved moderately.”
“Yes, I’m sorry, Commander Leon…….”
As soon as he heard her disconcerted answer, Leon went into his office instead of the usual administrative office where he conducted business.
Then, he gazed out of the window at one of the buildings of the imperial palace, looking somehow tenderly.
That was where Lucia, just now, had been surrounded by the royal guards and entered the military court.
‘How much more will she be hurt…….’
Of course, this thought was when Lucia said, ‘I will quit.’
Just then,
[Dash] Startled.Behind him, as he looked out the window with a faint gaze, someone came in without knocking.
“It’s been a long time.”
Upon recognizing the identity, Leon’s face turned cold.
The longunseen silver hair, wrinkled and thickskinned old man was his familiar yet unfamiliar father, Federlin Ruwins, the chancellor.
“What brings you here?”
“Don’t be formal. Do I need a reason to see my son?”
“…….”
Federlin Ruwins.
Entering his mid60s, he was one of the great figures who had shown brilliant strategy in founding the empire, enough to be used as a textbook in various countries.
But Leon had known since childhood.
That his father was the beginning of the first empire’s founding on this continent.
He learned this fact by overhearing a conversation between General Helbert and his father during his childhood.
Thus, he hardly saw his busy father in his childhood, and the same was true for his mother, who was also despised among the direct descendants because his father was not a count at the time.
And yet, this cold person who knew nothing but work had recently sent a secretive order.
And Leon naturally refused that mission.
Before long, Chancellor Federlin sat in Leon’s chair at his leisure, narrowing his eyes as he spoke.
“A few days ago, you went to the kindergarten entrance ceremony, didn’t you? Did you see your mother?”
“……Specifically, I didn’t go to see Mother.”
Although he said that, he still couldn’t see his mother’s face this time either.
‘Somehow, as always, she seemed to sense it…….’
“You haven’t changed.”
“I’d appreciate it if you didn’t blame me.”
Now his father has become the count of the family, and their status has somewhat improved, but his mother still did not live with his father.
Since the count and countess were in fact the Shuwind couple a long time ago, Leon found it contemptuous that he now spoke so complacently.
But why on earth did he come?
Could it be because of the refusal of that mission?
“No way. Hmm, but you see, the thing you refused to do a while ago…….”
Of course.
Butting in with work after abandoning his family for work.
Leon couldn’t bear to listen to him anymore.
“I’m not interested in what you do. Would you please leave? Or should I leave first?”
At his sarcastic remark, Chancellor Federlin smiled instead.
“So I gave it to Commander Lucia. Of course, under the pretext of punishment, Prince Iren will accompany her as a supervisor.
“……!!!”
For a moment, Leon’s whole body stiffened.
According to the deadline of the order he read at that time, it was not a short trip of three days.
“Well, since you’re not interested…….”
“I’ll go.”
Before his words were even finished, Leon hurriedly kicked open the door and left.
“Of course, another woman. At least my child would not do that.”
He laughed cheerfully, quietly closing the door his son had flung open, and headed back to the Emperor’s office.
[Star Icon]Crown Prince Airen and Lucia walked together in the deserted outskirts of the garden.
The place where they stopped was a fountain sculpted with the figure of the Goddess Ashir.
The Crown Prince, as if laidback music was playing in the scenery, slowly closed his eyes, seeming to enjoy the flowing water sound.
Then, the fantastical sunset caught at the end of her pink hair.
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.
