“It’s really fascinating. The fact that we saw you wanting to remove the ring at that time is quite something.”
As the conversation between the two seemed to come to an end, Kite asked about something that had been bothering him.
“You mentioned earlier that the Duke is preparing something else. What method is it?”
“The Duke is trying to use the dark magic he used when creating the Kingdom of Kuran.”
“Dark magic? How?”
In response to Kite’s question, Marquis Gart shook his head with a gloomy expression.
“I don’t know the details either. All I know is that he said he wanted to do it, and there are some conditions. He must perform the ritual on a day filled with the dark energy, and there’s a dark magic circle in the inner garden of the Duke’s mansion that he needs.”
Kite and Ruela exchanged glances.
Kite had suspected that dark magic might be involved in the Duke’s ability to use monsters, and it turned out to be true. If the Duke uses the power of darkness to create higher-level monsters again, everything they have done so far will be in vain. Moreover, if they make a wrong move and another faction captures Duke Kuran first, Ruela’s fate would be sealed.
As Kite, feeling anxious, seemed to head inside, Ruela gently removed his hand and asked Marquis Gart, “Earlier, you mentioned that you have a plan. What is it?”
“I tried to prevent the knights and soldiers from entering actively. I was pondering how to deal with the situation when Your Excellency happened to handle the monsters, providing me with an excuse. I will go to the soldiers I had ordered to wait in the south. I will then lead them and pretend to search for Your Excellency and the group. Therefore, please take this opportunity to defeat Duke Kuran.”
“There’s a bit of a problem with that. I can’t explain in detail, but capturing Duke Kuran has to wait until July 30th.”
“That… We can’t wait for that long.”
“Since there’s no immediate solution, for now, act like you’re searching for us, and gradually, we can think of another plan. We also plan to patrol the capital and outskirts to eliminate monsters for the time being.”
“…Understood. If there are any changes, I’ll come back to see you again at dawn.”
Still seemingly conscious of the surrounding gazes, the Marquis spoke with a stiff nod.
After exchanging greetings, as the Marquis was about to turn to mount his horse, he suddenly turned back as if something occurred to him.
“The Royal Library. I heard that there are books about dark magic stored in the Royal Library.”
Kite’s eyes lit up at his words.
“Where is the Royal Library?”
“It’s in the palace. It’s the room right next to the king’s bedroom. It used to be the study when it was Kuran Mansion, but it changed its name to the library when it became the palace. I happen to have the key.”
“Got it. Let’s start by looking for that book.”
“Yes, I’ll go check.”
Marquis Gart nodded in acknowledgment, exchanged a nod with the key, and then rode away.
As his figure disappeared from view, along with a sense of relief for obtaining valuable information, fatigue that had been forgotten began to surge.
“I’m afraid of what Duke Kuran might do, but for now, it seems like we need to rest.”
Kite nodded in agreement with Ruelala’s words.
With Kite’s arm around Ruelala, they walked towards the mansion, and she continued speaking.
“By the way, it’s really fortunate that Marquis Gart had a change of heart. I’m still quite amazed by what happened.”
“To be honest, I’m worried about blindly trusting these things. Could the advice to cut off the hand with the ring be a trap?”
Kite’s words made Ruelala start to contemplate.
Could they trust someone who had been an enemy until just a moment ago?
Seeing Ruelala’s furrowed brow, Kite spoke to reassure her.
“Don’t worry too much. Let’s just go to the Royal Library and look for the book. If it’s there, then we can trust it, right?”
“The book in the library could be fake.”
Once doubt started to arise, it seemed endless.
To ease this uneasy feeling, Ruelala thought of a simple solution in her mind.
“A party, let’s throw a party.”
“A party?”
“If he accepts, then he’s not an enemy but an ally.”
“He might not know how to accept a party invitation.”
In response to Kite’s concern, Ruelala replied, inviting Marquis Gart to the party.
“Let’s try inviting him continuously, and if it doesn’t work, we might have to go and confirm it ourselves.”
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.]
