“Indeed. It’s been a while since she quit working without a word, while holding a ragged doll, a memento of her daughter……”
Ambroise, who was recounting the words of the district manager without missing a beat, waved his hand.
“Ah, this is just a conjecture. It’s not certain whether it’s one of the ominous incidents happening in the commercial district.”
He had even glossed over the epic of love before, hadn’t he been denied outright?
“Then we need to find out for sure.”
Taren, missing, case, the next Duke Taren in front of her eyes.
Olivia calculated it in no time at all.
The fastest and most efficient way to reassure the Taren family would be.
“Duke Taren.”
“Yes.”
“I need your help in solving the case.”
Wouldn’t it reassure a person who cannot be ignored in the Taren family?
Of course, Ambroise had no intention of informing him of all the details of the case.
He just plans to clearly show his intention to not worry, because the case will be solved like this.
As soon as Olivia’s words were over, Ambroise clasped his hands and his eyes sparkled.
Could there be anything happier than helping the family overcome the crisis?
Moreover, the solution to this case will be helpful not only for the family but also for the entire empire.
She exclaimed with all her heart.
“I’ll do my best to help!”
Ambroise Taren plunged into this case with complete goodness and loyalty to the imperial family.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Meanwhile, when Olivia was facing Ambroise.
A knight with a sharp chin was crossing the hallway of the palace, which was assigned as the lodging for the knights of other countries, on one side of the princess palace.
The knight who stopped in front of a door looked around and only raised his hand after confirming that there was no one.
Knock knock.
“Come in.”
Fortunately, the voice of the one he was looking for came from inside, so the knight turned the door handle without hesitation.
“Uh? What are you doing at this time? It’s training time now.”
The halffaced knight, who met the knight with the sharp chin, tilted his head as if puzzled.
“I’ve got news you’ve got to hear.”
“News? Sit down first.”
As soon as they sat face to face, the knight with the sharp chin opened his mouth.
“There’s going to be a martial arts tournament.”
“A martial arts tournament?”
“Yes. It hasn’t been officially announced yet, but it will be held soon.”
The knight with the sharp chin, who was telling the story, casually glanced around and lowered his voice as much as possible.
The halffaced knight who was watching him frowned.
He knew clearly that it was just him and the knight with the sharp chin, and yet he behaved like that, as if he was suspecting him.
As he was about to open his mouth.
“The information is reliable as it came from a servant in the Central Palace where His Majesty the Emperor works.”
Upon the words of the knight with the sharp chin, the halffaced knight closed his mouth.
It was natural to be so cautious because it was a story that came out of the palace where the emperor of the empire stays, no, works.
It’s said that walls have ears.
Especially in the center of the empire, the imperial palace, it wouldn’t be too cautious no matter how careful it was.
The halffaced knight then looked at the knight with the sharp chin with newfound eyes.
“That’s impressive getting such information.”
Despite the unreserved admiration, the knight with the sharp chin didn’t give any particular answer, but his shoulders shot up high.
However, they didn’t realize.
From the top of the empire where the emperor rules, it would be unlikely that an event could leak out so easily to a knight from another country.
In the empire under Bolshevik rule, if there was one thing that could happen, it wouldn’t.
The knight with the sharp chin, blinded by his inflated confidence, failed to see that the imperial palace of the empire could not be so lax, but the information he heard was all meticulously calculated and spread.
“I can’t say exactly when it will be held, but anyway, we’ll have time to train before that. Since it’s an official tournament held in the empire, Her Royal Highness the Princess will be attending.”
He didn’t even have to hear the rest of his words.
If they stand out in a martial arts tournament where all the strong people of the whole empire gather, they would be able to approach the princess.
“That’s interesting……”
However, unlike the sharpchinned knight who told him, the halffaced knight who heard him was just hesitant.
After all, the knight who told him was at least a ‘knight’ who was not ashamed of his title, but the halffaced knight who heard him was almost a knight in name only.
He was not confident in winning battles, but in embracing anyone with love.
So, he too was waiting for his turn.
For a perilous night out…
There’s nothing new under the sky.
The things people can come up with are what they are.
‘The princess must be a human, so she must sleep.’
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
