Somehow, the two had opened the door to the inn, feeling a bit more distant from each other than before.
“Welcome, young adulterous couple~! One room! Warm bathwater from morning! Right?! Ah, there’s an extra charge for the rosescented bath salts, what will you do~?”
A fairly goodlooking boy with a faint greenish hair blurted out, and his lower lip, concealed by the hood of his robe, dropped open.
[Dash] Thump!“Ouch! What are you doing to my son’s beautiful head! It hurts!”
“Ren! What are you doing to our guests!”
“It’s true! There’s adultery over there! Adultery over here!! It’s all adultery~!!”
At Ren’s words, everyone in the firstfloor bar turned away and hid their faces.
“Oh, oh my. He’s wrong! No. It’s not true. Our inn is not like that. Ahem. Hurry over there and look after your younger sibling!”
“……Hmph! Even so, the rose scent is on me! I made it!”
“You!!”
Ren, who seemed familiar with dodging, swiftly escaped.
“Oh dear, I’m sorry. My son is still young. Hehe.”
“No, it’s not that….”
“Here’s the key. The warm water will be up soon, and do you want the bath salts? I’ve also made lemonscented ones, hohoho!”
“Tha, that! No, no!! We’re not like that at all!!”
As the landlady slightly slipped in an advertisement and handed over a key, Leon was taken aback, extending his hand in refusal.
Lucia found his hysterical reaction strange.
When she was a knightcommander, they had even spent time together in smaller barracks on the battlefield.
Of course, they had been together due to wartime, regardless of gender, and there had been unpleasant incidents, but Leon was not someone who would engage in such outrageous behavior.
‘When he threatens boisterously, it’s one thing, but why is he so worried? Does he think I would do something?’
Leon’s reaction to spending the night in the same room with a woman he liked at an inn might have been a painfully ordinary reaction, but she had not even suspected such a thing.
“Ah, it’s okay. Everyone does it.”
Lucia approached the landlady quietly with a short sigh.
“We came looking for Grangsis.”
It was a code written in the secret orders.
“Ah? Oh dear! I’m confused. When young people like you come together! I’m sorry. Sorry. Here’s the key to the room. It’s on the top floor.”
The landlady spoke, blushing with embarrassment, but what was handed over was still just one key.
So in the end, nothing had changed about having only one room.
Lucia, who took the key, went up the stairs without hesitation.
But Leon, who had been watching her back, became serious.
He was the empire’s foremost saint, a walking law book.
No matter how good an opportunity it was to be with a woman he liked, suddenly sharing a room in such an impudent manner was beyond his comprehension.
“Ma’am! There’s only one key……!”
“Ah, I don’t know. Me. I haven’t even been to that room, I was just told to give that key.”
Hearing her words, Leon became desperate.
“Then give me the room you were going to give earlier! I will use that room!”
“Oh, just use it together. Hehe. Then wait a moment.”
That’s when it happened.
A couple who appeared to be regulars, scanning the surroundings, made their entrance.
They communicated something to the landlady with just a glance.
“Oh dear, I’m sorry. The last remaining room just went out? They said just to give that key, so I don’t know. I don’t! Hurry, hurry up.”
“Tha, that……!”
Leon, in his confusion, was finally forced to climb the stairs that had been ascended earlier.
And on the 3rd floor, in front of the visible door, Lucia was already inserting the key and turning it.
Then, Leon grabbed her hand in a hurry.
Wrapped in his big hand in an instant, Lucia looked up at Leon.
“This doesn’t seem right. Are you really okay with this? I wish you would think more about it.”
“……? What’s there to be okay or not okay with. It’s our mission.”
“Even so, you’re a woman first. A mother of a child. If there’s a scandal, it’ll be unbearable. ……For me.”
“…….”
The word “woman” came from his mouth again.
‘Lion Ruwins……. What on earth does he think of me?’
From Lucia’s perspective, his words were wrong.
To treat her as a woman first among colleagues was rather an act that dishonors a knight.
Had this been why his peculiar consideration had been annoying all along?
At the moment when an odd silence flowed between them,
Hands placed on the doorknob were pulled, wavering, and someone came out of the opened door.
“……Captain Lion. Stop it. It’s embarrassing even for me to listen.”
He was Helbert, with untamed streaks of blond hair. The commanderinchief of the Imperial Knights.
Over his shoulder, looking at Lion with a pitiful face, an opulent penthouse with several rooms attached was revealed, something that could not be in such a small inn.
“…….”
Upon verifying that, Lion’s feelings were simply, he wanted to die.

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.]
