Soon after, Darius entered and fiercely scolded Rose.
“Your thoughtless actions caused trouble for many and even put Annette in danger.”
He scolded her so harshly that I thought Rose would resentfully glare at me as usual, but unexpectedly, Rose took the reprimand without any excuses.
“I was wrong.”
“Do you even realize what you did wrong? You can’t be disciplined even if you’re banned from leaving the castle or made to copy etiquette books. What kind of punishment should I give you…”
“From now on, I want to follow Lady Annette’s example.”
“What?”
“What?”
Why am I being brought into this?
“I haven’t encountered any highborn noblewomen living in the North. Lady Annette is the epitome of a lady. If I spend time with her, my demeanor will surely improve! My parents will be pleased too!”
“Lady Rose Temerly, I was talking about punishing you, not rewarding you.”
Darius was incredulous, but Rose was a formidable opponent.
“It’s a punishment for educational purposes! My mother and father always tell me to observe well-mannered ladies and learn to behave properly.”
“No, no. Lady Rose is already a fine lady by herself…”
Saying she is a lady would be a lie.
A never-ending, blatant lie.
“From now on, I’ll be your companion, my lady! I’ll make your life in the North less lonely!”
The blonde girl with twin braids hugged my arm tightly. Is it because she’s young? A girl quick to love and hate.
‘No, this wasn’t the outcome I wanted. I broke the death flag for you, Rose, so you should live your life freely!’
“Just trust me. I know the castle inside out, second only to Lady Egret!”
“Rose…….”
Darius pressed his forehead in disbelief.
“Who gave you permission to say such things?”
“Lady, when can I visit the castle again? Ah, I can stay with you today, right? Since I’m already here!”
Ignoring Darius’s words, Rose laughed heartily. It was a bright, pain-free smile.
“How can I possibly thank you enough, my lady, and how should I apologize…”
Sir Lucion couldn’t meet my eyes and kept bowing his head.
He almost killed his sister with his decision, mistakenly believing bloodletting was the best solution.
“Never mind that. I’m relieved that Rose is healthy. But I’m curious about what happened in the willow forest after Rose and I collapsed.”
The limits of medical technology are what they are.
But gold! The gold of the Duke of Inkheart that Rose and I risked our lives to find!
Now that we’ve saved a life, perhaps it’s okay to talk about material matters.
“Ah, about that night… my lady, I never dared to ask, but what exactly happened?”
Lucion asked as if he was just as curious.
I told Lucion the same story I had told Darius.
I was trying to improve the dire situation in the North by finding treasures from legends. The gold jar I found last time was actually stumbled upon while researching legends.
I was narrowing down the search from vast amounts of data, but Rose entered my room, saw my research, and ran to the willow forest alone after an epiphany.
“When I followed Rose, the legendary conditions were all met. As soon as we entered the barrier, we could enter the treasure storehouse of our ancestor Inkheart as if by magic. A wind elemental king named Silphid was guarding the treasure as per the contract.”
I paused for a moment.
“Hard to believe, right? A sudden appearance of an elemental king.”
“Not at all. You are capable of such great feats, my lady.”
How else to explain the sudden appearance of countless gold coins and precious treasures in the once-empty forest?
Soon after, Darius entered and severely scolded Rose.
“You caused trouble for many people with your thoughtless behavior and even put Annette in danger.”
He scolded her so harshly that I expected Rose to resentfully glare at me as usual, but surprisingly, Rose accepted the reprimand without any excuses.
“I was wrong.”
“Do you even understand what you did wrong? You don’t learn even if you’re banned from leaving the castle or copying etiquette books. What kind of punishment should I give you…”
“I want to follow Lady Annette’s example in the future.”
“What?”
“What?”
Why am I being brought into this?
“I never met a highborn noblewoman living in the North. Lady Annette is the epitome of a lady. If I spend time with her, my behavior will surely improve! My parents will be pleased too!”
“Lady Rose Temerly, I’m talking about giving you a punishment, not a reward.”
Darius was incredulous, but Rose was a formidable opponent.
“It’s a punishment with an educational purpose! My parents always say to keep an eye on well-mannered ladies and behave properly.”
“No, no. Lady Rose is already a fine lady herself…”
Calling her a lady would be a lie.
A blatant, never-ending lie.
“From now on, I’ll be your companion, my lady! I’ll make sure your life in the North is less lonely!”
The twin-braided blonde girl hugged my arm tightly. Is it because she’s young? A girl quick to both love and hate.
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.]
