“I have contemplated the words you spoke to me, Your Majesty.”
“The conclusion?”
“I will not engage with Dorothea Angelos.”
The emperor and Adenmir locked eyes, revealing a strong determination within them. It was a resolute gaze formed after numerous contemplations.
A declaration that he would face it alone without borrowing anyone’s help.
“Taking the easy path and planning to retreat.”
“Aren’t you the Crown Prince’s son?”
“Yes, indeed.”
Being impulsive, he lost his beloved wife and had to accept the enemy’s daughter as his second wife. A powerless husband and father who had no choice.
He merely hoped his son wouldn’t choose that path.
However, it seemed impossible to deceive the bloodline.
Why did Elodie’s face naturally come to mind as he observed such stubbornness?
“There’s no other child who would want to be engaged to someone with such a nasty personality like you.”
“Do you find comfort in spreading slander about your son?”
“Hmm.”
Adenmir recalled Elodie’s actions that were reported by his subordinates.
‘She stays locked up in the mansion and doesn’t step out.’
She had refrained from her usual shopping and had kept herself secluded for several days.
Adenmir couldn’t understand why she was being so cautious, especially when he was the one who initiated the discussion about the broken engagement. It couldn’t possibly be because she was hurt.
As if he had read his son’s thoughts, the emperor spoke.
“Perhaps she’s under stress since her name will likely be tarnished.”
“That might be the case.”
Given his strong personality, it was uncertain whether he had truly been hurt by people’s baseless rumors.
Unintentionally, Adenmir felt uneasy.
On the other hand, immediately after the announcement of the broken engagement.
Contrary to the expectations of the emperor and Adenmir, Elodie [DASH].
“Wow! Finally, the engagement is over. I’m free…!”
She was cheering.
[Is it that good?]Nestled comfortably in the doughnut-shaped cushion that Masa had gifted, Greed, with a smirk on its face, asked.
Smiling, I adorned the corners of the official engagement announcement with flowers and stars.
In an instant, the engagement announcement became lovely.
It’s called “Paghku,” short for decorating the engagement announcement.
“Of course, it’s good.”
After recalling memories from a past life, my biggest regret was the engagement with the 1st Crown Prince Adenmir.
It was my embarrassing past, where I had boasted that no one would ignore me, and that I would face an unknown future.
Other events that I had regretted had become things of the past, but the engagement was still a work in progress, which was quite irritating.
Now that I had finally cleared it up, I couldn’t help but feel relieved.
‘I can finally leave Somnia with peace of mind.’
If I left the capital in an engaged state, there was a risk of being pursued by the imperial family.
So, I had been uncomfortable for a long time, but now I could go anywhere.
Of course, until I found out the mastermind behind the group of assassins who tried to kill me, I wouldn’t be able to leave the fenced-off Ferdeya.
Regardless, all that remained was making money.
And today was the highly anticipated unveiling ceremony for the new products hosted by the Magic Tool Corporation.
The unveiling ceremony was primarily a platform for promoting new products.
The magic tools that sold well at that time were contracted through bidding with the upper echelons and distributed throughout the continent.
In short, if they sold well, it meant investors could make money in the future.
Preparations were all complete.
Thinking about the time I spent locked in my room, contemplating fiercely to sell this magic tool well, tears welled up.
But now that I think I can become rich, a song naturally flowed from my lips.
“Money, money, money.”
Upon doing so, Greed triggered its greed for the 252nd time today.
[Grrr [DASH].]“…….”
[Meeting you was lucky.]“Keep quiet.”
The presentation took place in the Magic Tower Hall.
People flocked to see the newly released products of wizards around the same time.
Most were nobles, followed by upper-level employees and wealthy merchant classes.
Familiar faces were scattered throughout. Young heirs and heiresses from the gatherings, and a Ferdeya upper-level employee with whom I had exchanged greetings at the mansion a few times.
Since everyone would know I was a Magic Elf investor, there was no need to hide my status.
Like many ladies present, I would also appear as a lady interested in magic.
But the problem was the timing.
People who recognized my face started gathering here and there.
It was especially crowded since the official announcement of the broken engagement was recent, making the topic even more popular.
“Look over there, it’s Lady Ferdia.”
“We haven’t seen her around lately; what brings her to the presentation?”
“She said she broke off her engagement; her face has become quite haggard, unfortunately.”
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.
