As if stamping a seal, Cryer, who had been watching the ongoing argument between the two, decided to lean against the wall with clenched fists.
These two were relatively lucky.
If it were a usual situation, Cryer would have immediately intervened and crushed any unnecessary quarrel between the fresh lovers.
However, Cryer needed some time away to suppress the sudden surge of his desire, just by quietly watching Olivia.
I didn’t know my patience was this short.
No, maybe he was never a guy with a particularly long patience.
His gaze turned to the stamp on the collarbone.
Before this stamp, in other words, before the ‘resurrection,’ what exactly was he?
“I’m still searching. But it seems challenging to find you in recorded history.”
Olivia’s voice echoed in his ears and then faded away.
Perhaps, as she said, he might be a ‘discarded record.’
No, that might be the only possibility in the current situation.
A discarded record… What kind of heinous crime could have caused him to be erased from history?
However, even thinking about it, Cryer surprisingly wasn’t particularly interested in his ‘past.’
The reason he thought he needed to find his past was solely to properly understand the abilities he possessed.
Even without memories of the past, he hadn’t experienced any confusion in his identity or deviation from his goals.
Moreover…
‘Turning the continent into an enemy, huh.’
Olivia was also willing to turn the entire continent into an enemy for him.
Regardless of his past, if she needed him, the past wouldn’t matter.
But yes. If, because of his past, he was chosen as a slave of the ancient god…
The first question he needed to extract from Greta had been decided.
As he organized his thoughts and raised his head, Anbh and Isaac, who were growling a moment ago, were now silent, quietly sinking into the surroundings.
“Is it over?”
“What? No. You should start now!”
“Yeonga, that’s not it. Yes. I apologize.”
At Anbh’s lively response, Isaac furrowed his fox eyes and bowed his head.
“Okay. Since you can disguise yourself alone, go try it. Prepare the rest.”
As Cryer gave a nod, Anbh immediately agreed, and Isaac breathed a sigh of relief.
And, receiving Cryer’s gaze, Sugar, wrapped in Anbh’s warmth holding her hand, could finally take a long breath in the heat of his palm.
And in that moment, Sugar subtly frowned.
It felt like something was wriggling just now from the direction of the stamp…
But before that thought could continue, a subdued voice murmured in the darkness, scattering like shards.
Cryer looked down at Sugar with his glass-like eyes and spoke.
“I will start experiments to distinguish those with stamps.”
While Cryer was away, Olivia, as usual, was dealing with a mountain of piled-up work.
Whether she was reading or not, Olivia swiftly scanned through the documents from the first page to the last, raising the stamp high and slamming it down without hesitation.
“These things are trying to live off me. Can’t even earn their keep…”
Muttering unprincess-like complaints, she lifted her head at the sound of footsteps near the door.
“Come in.”
“Your Highness, these are the documents regarding the servant to fill the vacant position.”
At the words, Olivia’s gaze, which had been fixed on the documents, rose.
After swiftly skimming through, there was nothing unusual.
Naturally, it was expected that there wouldn’t be anything extraordinary; after all, anyone with peculiar records or abnormalities would not step into the princess’s palace. But why this servant came into the palace was a different matter.
Marquis Hainder went as far as addressing the imperial emperor up to the capital to make a vacancy in the princess’s palace, questioning the customs of the imperial palace. It would be foolish not to suspect the incoming servant.
“Entered the palace?”
“Yes. Awaiting orders.”
“Hmm.”
Olivia tapped the documents thoughtfully.
If it were a suspicious person, the correct answer would be not to keep them around from the beginning. However, Olivia hadn’t even considered the option of not bringing this servant into the palace.
“Do we need to bring in a suspicious person?”
“Of course, we have to.”
Olivia shrugged and raised the corner of her mouth with a smirk.
“If we don’t know who the suspicious person is, it could be a problem. But if we already know, starting with the tail as insignificant as that one, we can catch them from the tail to the torso. We have someone who can perform that role excellently without even laying bait. It will be much easier.”
She had planned to use this servant to fish backward.
Although there weren’t high expectations, at least there was someone on that side with the ‘eye’ she had implanted. If that eye could disrupt things well, it would be advantageous for her.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
