“Yes, there was.”
“What exactly happened? I asked my father, but he wouldn’t give me any details.”
“To be honest, I don’t know much either.”
“You can tell me what you know.”
“Well…”
Daniel hesitated for a moment.
His claim of not knowing much was true. The incident had occurred early in the morning, and he had been asleep at the time.
He woke up to the chaotic atmosphere of the mansion but was just as clueless.
Even Duke Adrian, who returned to the mansion carrying an unconscious Rosette, did not reveal what had happened.
He only knew that there was an attempt on Duke Adrian’s life, and Rosette had dealt with it, falling into a coma afterward.
But his current hesitation had another reason.
‘Father imposed a gag order.’
The Adrian household was currently preventing the spread of rumors about that day’s event.
It was for Rosette’s sake. She was already receiving a lot of attention, and if it became known that she was a magic prodigy, it would likely complicate her life.
But should he tell Joshua about that day?
‘Maybe it’s okay to mention it briefly.’
Daniel soon came to a conclusion. Joshua was Duke Adrian’s only swordsmanship disciple and Daniel’s best friend. He could trust him.
“Apparently, a servant who was a spy sprayed some magical substance on my father’s carriage. The carriage exploded suddenly, and my father almost got caught in the flames.”
“How did he manage to escape unharmed? Did he use mana?”
“That is…”
To answer that, Rosette’s name inevitably had to come up. But it seemed inappropriate to mention that, even to Joshua.
Eventually, Daniel vaguely replied.
“I’m not quite sure about that. Maybe something like that?”
“Hmm, I see.”
Joshua’s eyes narrowed suspiciously.
‘He’s lying.’
As someone raised in a noble family and trained as an heir, Daniel was skilled in managing his expressions. His lies were not easily detectable.
However, Joshua had been around Daniel since they were infants. He keenly noticed a fleeting moment of discomfort on Daniel’s face.
It seemed there was an accomplice who had helped the Duke in the situation. The Adrian household appeared to be hiding the identity of this helper.
‘But they won’t tell me even if I ask.’
Whoever the helper was, as long as Duke Adrian was safe, that was enough. But now, something else was more important.
Joshua poured tea into Daniel’s cup and changed the subject.
“How about you?”
“Me?”
“Were you in the carriage with your master that day?”
“No, I was in the mansion at that time.”
“In the mansion?”
Joshua asked with a meaningful voice. Daniel, not sensing anything unusual, replied.
“Yes, it was quite early in the morning.”
“Why did your master leave the mansion at such an early hour?”
“I’m not sure. I don’t know about that.”
“Well, whatever the case, it’s fortunate. The advice to be careful with carriages should have been for your master, not you.”
“That’s true.”
“Still, be careful with carriages for a while.”
Daniel looked puzzled but soon smiled and replied.
“Yes, I understand.”
“By the way,”
Joshua put down his teacup and shifted the topic.
“When can I meet the precious lady of the Adrian family?”
“I’ve felt it before, but you seem very interested in Rosette.”
“Not just me, she’s the talk of the town. Everyone is curious when ‘that’ youngest lady of the Adrian family will make her official appearance.”
“It’s still too early.”
“What’s so early about it?”
Hesitating, Daniel murmured.
“Rosette is like, well, a newly hatched baby bird.”
“A baby bird?”
“Yes. She needs to adapt to the harsh world and has a lot to learn.”
A deep smile hung on Daniel’s lips.
“And of course, she’s also very cute.”
“But hiding her away too much isn’t good either. The gossips are already buzzing about it.”
“The Adrian family can protect her sufficiently from that.”
“Well, if the Adrian family thinks so, I have nothing more to say. But,”
Joshua decided to ask something he had been curious about but had never dared to ask Duke Adrian directly.
“How did the youngest lady come to be adopted? Did your master plan to adopt a child?”
“No, it wasn’t planned. It was a sudden decision.”
“Everyone’s curious, surely you can share that much?”
“Of course.”
Daniel started from the beginning of how they met Rosette.
“Rosette instinctively used a healing spell to save a girl who was like an older sister to her. My father discovered Rosette’s ability and wanted to teach her.”
“Why not just sponsor her?”
“Bel said the same thing. Of course, he could have done that, but for some reason, my father felt particularly drawn to Rosette. He decided to adopt her so he could take care of her closely.”
“The youngest lady must have been pleased. Being adopted by none other than the Adrian family.”
“No.”
Daniel smiled somewhat bitterly.
“At first, she refused.”
“Refused? Why?”
“Probably because she was hesitant about leaving the people she considered family to join a noble house.”
“I see, that makes sense. It’s not just any noble family, it’s the Adrian family after all.”
As they were about to wrap up the conversation, Joshua suddenly asked.
“But the Adrian family’s youngest lady, her name is Rosette, right?”
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.
