After Director Malcolm responded to Linel, he looked towards Prince Tesler and asked, “Your Highness, could you please let me know where Bonis-nim is currently…”
As Prince Tesler hesitated and fumbled with his words, Linel interrupted him with an impatient expression.
“She might be on the floor where the Shahto’nil royal guests are staying. If you mention the Emperor’s order, anyone will tell you where Bonis Yeongae is. Go.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. I’ll go quickly.”
“Don’t worry. We plan to move to the dining hall soon. I hope you hurry.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll bring Bonis-nim before the meal arrives!”
Director Malcolm, with a determined voice, thumped his right fist against his chest and left the office.
Prince Tesler’s hand, holding a teacup, was trembling ever so slightly.
Even after losing his eyesight, Director Malcolm knew the layout of the palace well enough to ride a horse and gallop through the meadows without any obstacles. After dispatching a carriage to follow him, he arrived at the Star Palace in no time.
At the entrance of the Star Palace, the guards on duty recognized Director Malcolm, saluted, and greeted him. The Director nodded in response, saluting the guards with a fist against his chest.
Director Malcolm, who had memorized the location of the Star Palace even after losing his eyesight, swiftly ascended to the fourth floor where the guests from the Shahto’nil Kingdom were staying.
On the fourth floor, at the entrance, Emperor Linel met with Tarann, the secretary of the Shahto’nil royal family, and conveyed the emperor’s command to bring Bonis, the government official.
Tarann showed a puzzled reaction at the mention of Prince Tesler’s “government.” He quickly left a message for Director Malcolm to wait in the corridor and promptly summoned Ken Gye, the closest escort knight to Prince Tesler.
Upon hearing the news, Ken Gye was also greatly bewildered. Something was undoubtedly amiss in the main palace.
Given that it was an imperial order, there was no choice but to guide Director Malcolm to where Bonis was. Strangely, Bonis was not in her room. However, her whereabouts were easily found as she was under surveillance and couldn’t leave the Star Palace.
Although Ken Gye identified Bonis’s location, he couldn’t help but feel anxious about the fact that it happened to be Princess Lyselia’s room.
“Director Malcolm, please follow me.”
“Yes.”
Guiding Director Malcolm to Princess Lyselia’s room, Ken Gye felt uneasy throughout the walk along the corridor.
Since arriving at the Raphion Imperial Palace, Princess Lyselia had consistently treated Bonis Yeongae worse than her personal servant, making her the target of her frustration several times a day.
“I hope Princess, please refrain from harassing Bonis Yeongae today.”
Ken Gye, with a worried expression, stopped in front of the door at the end of the corridor.
“Please wait here for a moment. I will go in first and deliver the news to Princess and Bonis Yeongae.”
Ken Gye spoke respectfully to Director Malcolm and knocked on Princess Lyselia’s door.
Although the knocking sound must have been heard, instead of an invitation to enter, vulgar language from Princess Lyselia poured out.
Startled, Ken Gye quickly opened the bedroom door.
“Why is everything so irritating today?”
Along with Princess Lyselia’s irritated words, her shoe flew towards the door, making a loud thud as it struck Director Malcolm’s face.
“Oops!”
The flying shoe hit Director Malcolm’s face with a resounding thud.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
