However, I could not run out. Because I was sure to be caught by Sicar’s hand and have my memories read today!
Sicar will probably never suffer from gout in his lifetime.
Just when I was sitting with a sullen face, Bica came in with Meiri. Meiri put the food she was carrying on the table, and Bica stood by my side with a cunning smile.
“There was an order from the Duke to watch over you until you master the etiquette of meals.”
The food that Bica brought was the kind of food that is usually eaten at social gatherings, and it was nothing special, such as snail dishes or caviar, which I did not enjoy eating.
And more than anything, it didn’t suit my taste.
I wish they would take care of my stomach as well as the dignity of the hostess, it’s weirder to get full by eating this kind of food.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Sicar, who seemed to have an itchy left ear, scratched it a few times and was waiting for Gillian, who had entered the virtual reality for the council meeting, in an empty virtual reality.
‘A vow to the lord is deeper than a blood oath, a promise for the lord is more upright than any other oath, and love for the lord is more sacred than faith.’
These were the words that Sicar’s father, Bemon, who had dedicated everything to his lord, always said to his son and his subjects.
Sicar, who lost his father to the betrayal of the late king, thought it was nonsense.
There was also a reason why he first endorsed Gillian, he wanted to solidify his collapsed duchy and easily control the king.
However, he felt a little warm in his heart when he drove out the late king, corrected the turbulent country, and was a comfort to the people who fell into a slump.
Then, he was able to understand his father’s heart for the first time.
So he made Gillian swear that he would never become a lord who makes secrets from his subjects.
But Gillian was treading on the same iron that the late king had done to his father.
The Gillian he saw in Yura’s memory was not the lord he had endorsed. But he wanted to confirm it again. Whether he still remembers the oath he made with him.
Soon, Gillian, who had finished the council meeting, entered the virtual reality with a sheepish smile.
“Did you wait a long time?”
Gillian entered hastily and drank water as if he was late for an appointment.
It was the same as saying that he ran hastily without drinking even a cup of water after hearing Sicar’s entry into the palace.
Although it was natural to get up when the king entered, Sicar was just leaning against the sofa with his legs crossed.
It was a sign to Gillian that Sicar still did not fully recognize him as a king and it was also showing that Sicar himself was the highest authority in this kingdom now.
No hostility was seen in the expression of Sicar, who rarely showed his emotions, but it was also a sight where no loyalty was seen anywhere.
‘As soon as he took the throne, he thought of finding and eliminating the royal family behind my back, and…’
Later, he even asked to eliminate Kian, saying that Veronia was planning to put Kian on the throne.
Eventually, thinking that he would only be fooled by this man just as his father was deceived by the late king, he felt an urge to eliminate Gillian in front of him.
But now it was impossible. Next to Gillian, there were his henchmen, the wizard and the spirit, and all the royal families of Rekador had divine power, so he couldn’t guarantee a complete victory.
If he wanted to hit Gillian, he needed the help of other nobles, but there was no reason. To gain a reason, he had to find Princess Veronia, who Gillian had imprisoned.
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.”
