“Marquis’s wife used to be a kindergarten teacher. She really had a noble profession. It was probably because of that kindness that she showed to our twins. Lucy still cherishes the shawl you gave her three years ago, Lady Marquis. I think I will respect the Lady Marquis even more from now on.”
“Thank you for your kind words, Marquis.”
Sicar, for some reason, seemed more proud of himself. He clenched his fist, looked at Raydox with a slightly crooked smile, and said,
“I don’t know how she ended up here, but she must be a person worthy of respect, coming here to save a child. Lucy still holds onto the shawl you gave her three years ago. I will come to respect the Lady Marquis even more in the future.”
“It seems like you’re prouder, Marquis. If she sees you like this, her fear of you may disappear.”
Sicar, who was showing a proud expression, suddenly, after Raydox’s words, frowned as if he found them unpleasant.
“Whether I’m feared or not, I must definitely respond to the Lady Marquis’s call. Go and tell her. If she refuses the Lady Marquis’s invitation, she will inevitably pay the price.”
Another threat. Again.
Raydox’s face showed discomfort, but he replied politely,
“I understand the Marquis’s intention.”
And Raydox stood up, saying,
“I should leave now. I need to quickly convey this to her.”
“That would be wise. You’ve been quite careful not to reveal it to the twins for a long time, but you can’t hide it from the children forever, can you?”
Ah. He hasn’t told the twins yet.
“The reason I haven’t told the twins is that Lucy isn’t ready to accept that I have a girlfriend.”
“Now that I think about it, you’re quite skilled at hiding and deceiving.”
I stood up and blocked Sicar’s way, sending Raydox off.
“Marquis, please go now.”
“Thank you, Lady Marquis.”
After watching Raydox leave, I felt a sense of relief.
So, there really is someone else from my world. In other words, someone who read the same novel and came to this place?
Now that there’s someone from the same dimension, I became extremely curious about her identity. It would be great to meet her soon.
Sicar seemed to sense my emotions and spoke indifferently,
“Coming to this place seems later than you. At that time, when he and Raydox shook hands, he hadn’t seen her yet. Do you remember Lady Jeremi’s first day at the Marquisate?”
On a day when it was pouring rain, I recalled Jeremi’s appearance as she transformed and flew in through the window.
“Of course, I remember.”
“It seems like it was from that time. Raydox’s woman came to this place then. Do you remember when Jeremi got scared in the main hall, thinking I might measure her clothes?”
“Of course.”
“At that time, what Jeremi was worried about seems to be my hand touching her body. She knows that I can read memories.”
So, that’s why she was so sensitive.
“Her name is Han Seoyeon, and she is 25 years old this year. She seems to be someone who read the novel of this place. However, wisely, she did not tell Raydox that this place is a novel. Instead, she gradually conveyed that she can see the future and shared some stories of this place. She also mentioned that Kian needs to be taken care of. The reason Raydox came to this place with Jeremi that day was all because of Han Seoyeon.”
“Then Han Seoyeon helped us a lot.”
“However, I won’t forgive her if she refuses your invitation out of fear.”
“Yeah. You don’t have to worry about that. She won’t refuse.”
Sicar looked at me with a face that seemed to ask how he could be sure.
“How can you guarantee that?”
“Because she hesitated?”
“Hesitated?”
“She heard about me from Raydox, right?”
“Yeah. She heard and said she was curious, but it seemed like she couldn’t muster the courage because of me. She probably thinks she’s being threatened by me and is confined.”
“Yeah. And because she didn’t know what kind of person I am, she was even more cautious. But now that Raydox has exposed all your memories to him, she will come whether she wants to or not. She knows she can’t refuse this invitation.”
Sicar seemed pleased with my answer, and the corners of his mouth formed a curve.
“Wise judgment.”
“But there’s one question.”
“What is it?”
“She knows that you can read memories, so why did she send Raydox here and not block our movements?”
“Because of Kian.”
“Right. I didn’t even think about that.”
“You might think like that if you can’t see the memories.”
Sicar, as if suggesting that I should take his hand, subtly reached out to me and said,
“If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. I’ll tell you everything as if you’re reading my memories.”
I looked at Sicar’s outstretched hand hesitantly and turned away.
“Enough. I’ll ask her directly when I meet her.”
Did I turn away too abruptly?
Sicar, who had his hand rejected by me, looked at my rejected hand with a sulky expression.
Is he cute with that sulky face?
What are you talking about? Who’s cute!
Sicar, who had a sulky face, suddenly raised his head with a sharp look as if something had come to mind.
“But, what if.”
“What if?”
“If someone else from the dimension you came from is also here? If that person has become a supporter of Gillian, not Kian, Kian’s identity will be exposed.”
“What, what did you say?”
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
Trigger warning: All men in this novel are yandere style.
