“Please, come in.”
As she gently placed one foot inside the iron gate, a clock appeared, signaling the start of the quest.
[Occupation Time 30:00]“If you follow the path through the garden, you’ll reach the entrance.”
Luella furrowed her brow as if inquiring.
“Are you telling me to knock on the entrance door right now?”
“No, what’s so difficult about that…”
The guard, about to speak as if questioning what the problem was, let out an irritated sigh.
“Just proceed. I will guide you inside.”
As the time for the guard to bring Balder was getting delayed, the time they would have to meet was decreasing.
Luella followed the guard, crossing a smaller garden compared to Peroz Mansion. When they arrived in front of the mansion and knocked on the door, a man who appeared to be a butler came out.
[Occupation Time 25:38]“Luella Rominin has come. She said she would wait inside while I fetch His Grace.”
“Rominin, you say?”
The butler, with surprised eyes, looked at Luella and then spoke coldly.
“You can’t enter the mansion. Wait outside.”
The butler’s tone was filled with displeasure.
Since she didn’t expect a warm welcome, it didn’t matter whether they said this or that in this situation. However, in this situation, it didn’t seem like ‘Luella Rominin’ should quietly beg.
Luella stared at the butler.
“Why is your tone like that? Don’t you know who I am?”
The butler chuckled and replied mockingly.
“Oh, is that so? Isn’t Miss Rominin the target of a hostile declaration?”
“I came here to discuss that matter, but the way you’re treating a guest is quite unpleasant. I should go back.”
Luella’s words were met with the butler’s laughter.
“You’ve come here on your own free will, but leaving is not up to you. Over there.”
The butler pointed with his chin towards the garden.
“There’s a bench over there; wait there.”
Having given orders to Luella, the butler addressed the guard.
“As for you, I’ll send someone else. Go and stand guard there. We must ensure no one escapes.”
“Yes, Master Butler.”
After the guard briefly glanced at Luella, he walked towards the main gate. The butler, instead of going inside, turned to look at Luella. She stood her ground without moving an inch in front of the entrance.
She was staring at the butler without making a move in front of the entrance.
“If you find it more comfortable there than on the bench, please continue to stand. I granted you the privilege, but if you dislike it, there’s nothing to be done.”
Obeying the butler’s high-handed command made her feel uneasy, but in reality, being outside was still better than inside the house.
Although she could return if necessary, enduring 22 minutes inside the mansion was unreasonable. After all, from the moment she entered Balder’s Mansion through the iron gate, the quest time was ticking away smoothly.
“That’s right. The garden would be much better.”
Luella, ignoring the butler with an impressed tone, walked into the inner garden.
The bench was partially concealed by shrubbery, and sitting inside, she believed she wouldn’t be easily visible from the mansion.
Intentionally making herself conspicuous to the butler, Luella spoke loudly.
“How long will it take for Guild Master Balder to arrive? If it takes too long, I might as well take a stroll in the garden.”
“It should take about 15 minutes for him to arrive. Please wait quietly.”
As soon as the butler finished speaking, the door slammed shut.
Judging from the actions of the two people she had met at Balder Mansion, she could tell that both the butler and the guards were staunch supporters of Balder.
But Balder was nowhere to be found. She had come with the intention of meeting him in person, but now that she found herself in this situation, spending 30 minutes without crossing paths was one way to handle it.
Luella activated the game screen to check the quest time.
[Occupation Time 20:01]She glanced at the mansion and noticed the butler watching her through a window on the side of the mansion. She waved at him and got up to admire the fully bloomed flowers.
[Occupation Time 15:56]Time seemed to pass too slowly.
The moonlit garden was quite beautiful, but Luella’s gaze was fixed solely on the quest clock on the screen.
When it showed that there were exactly 11 minutes left, she heard the sound of hooves approaching from the main gate.
Pretending to be engrossed in admiring the flowers in the garden, Luella gradually moved further inside.
The bench was partially hidden by bushes, and sitting inside, she believed she wouldn’t be easily visible from the mansion.
Intentionally making herself conspicuous to the butler, Luella spoke loudly.
“How long will it take for Guild Master Balder to arrive? If it takes too long, I might as well take a stroll in the garden.”
“It should take about 15 minutes for him to arrive. Please wait quietly.”
As soon as the butler finished speaking, the door slammed shut.
Judging from the actions of the two people she had met at Balder Mansion, she could tell that both the butler and the guards were staunch supporters of Balder.
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.]
