Upon hearing the news that someone disappeared from the royal castle yesterday, the person who had visited Pharaoh’s Mansion immediately came to mind. Even with the defense of the mask, if caught this time, suspicions couldn’t be avoided.
“The teleport cooldown is back, but we’re still within the surveillance range. We need to speed up.”
In response to Ruela’s words, Hagen pressed the accelerator more firmly.
“Isn’t that up ahead like a village?”
When Kite pointed forward and spoke, Ruela, with an anxious expression, looked back. Now, it was inevitable to take out the car, but it didn’t mean it was okay to attract attention from many people.
Fortunately, it seemed the watchers began to appear as small dots in the distance.
“Step on it a bit more. Just a bit more. I’ll teleport as soon as we’re completely out of sight!”
Judging that they had successfully completely outpaced the watchers by the time the village-like shape in the distance gradually enlarged, Ruela immediately pressed the teleport button.
“Did you come riding a strange piece of metal this time?”
Instead of Ruela, Emma and Meg, who were watering the herb garden, approached with curious expressions upon seeing the suddenly appearing car.
Quickly removing the mask and getting out of the car, Ruela replied, “That’s how it turned out. Has anyone visited during this time?”
“So far, no one, but who knows. Lately, that Marquis or whatever acts like he owns the place, coming and going like it’s his own house, you know.”
While Emma was exploring the car with an expression of wonder, Hagen, looking proud, got out of the car.
“Wahaha! Ruela, did you see my skills? Isn’t it amazing?”
Seeing him still in a transformed state, Ruela was surprised and murmured.
“Take off the mask. Do you intend to make people faint?”
Seeing Hagen quickly removing the mask, Ruela confirmed his appearance and, gently detaching Emma from the car, tried to soothe her, saying, “Emma, I’ll show you around in detail later. People shouldn’t see this carriage.”
“Among the things, how many can people look at? Since we don’t know when unwelcome guests might come, quickly put them away. Meg, come here.”
Pulling Meg, who was looking around, and moving back, Emma, who had been doing the same, suddenly screamed.
“Oh my goodness. What on earth is this?”
Looking around, Ruela, who thought someone might not have removed their mask, burst into laughter.
Emma, who was staring in astonishment at a small horse standing proudly on the seat, was the cause.
“It’s gold.”
Ruela, quickly giving it a name, pointed to the small horse.
“Isn’t it pretty? It’s a new friend we met today.”
Meg admired, looking at the small horse that Tien had placed on the ground.
“Is it a horse? No, a pony? It looks like a horse, but why is it so small?”
“It’s a horse. Looks like it’s a small breed. It’s my first time seeing one in person too.”
Ruela released the summoned van and sought permission from the two.
“Can I raise it inside? If I send it to the stable, it might get bullied.”
In response to her words, Emma snorted.
“What nonsense are you talking about? It’s the first time I’ve heard such a strange thing about horses getting bullied.”
When Emma strongly objected, Ruela clenched her fist on her arm and begged.
“I even gave you a watering can. You know it’s a very valuable one, right? Please let me raise it inside.”
At her request, Emma raised her eyebrows.
“I gave you water for the garden.”
“But it’s much more convenient. You don’t have to go around drawing water from the well, and besides, if there are herbs you want, I’ll let you use them. Emma can use the herbs here too unless I dig them up.”
Emma, looking back at the horse that was following her, spoke in a broken voice.
“Then, please let us use the flowers. There are quite a few that can be used for cooking.”
“Sure thing. You can use as much as you want. Is that okay?”
“I’ll take care of the manure, Miss. Shuna and Meg are busy helping me with my work.”
“Okay then. We’ll clean it up. Right?”
When Ruela looked at her colleagues and sought their agreement, Hagen frowned.
“Why us?”
In response to Hagen’s rebellion, Kite issued a stern warning in a frightening tone.
“Why us? If I say so, you do it.”
With a terrifying gaze, Kite stared at Hagen, who pursed his lips and nodded.
“Okay, okay. Got it.”
Once nodding in agreement, Hagen raised his hand quickly as Kite entered.
“Normally, cleaning up the dung is the job of the main caretaker. But doing such work together means I can express my opinions on that matter, right?”
“Sure, go ahead.”
“Let’s change the name. What is ‘Golden’ anyway? It sounds tacky.”
“Tacky? Where is it tacky?”
“I also find the name a bit off. It feels like I named it without much thought, just whatever came to mind.”
Tien also nodded in agreement with Hagen’s opinion.
Although Ruela glared with a stern look, the two didn’t flinch. Mitchell and Raphael, who were observing, also expressed their opinions.
“Nobles like us don’t give such names to pets.”
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.”
