Lenisha burst into a refreshing laugh like a popping lemon.
There was nothing to laugh about in her life, yet she laughed thanks to Casius.
Perhaps Casius was a symbol that brought luck to Lenisha.
“You can be jealous. I will allow it.”
Casius furiously rubbed his stunned face with his palm.
Casius let out a long sigh and bowed his head.
Caliet looked at the two with a strange expression.
A sense of inexplicable sadness came over him.
Because he knew that Lenisha’s smile would not last long.
The reason Meteor did not come to see Lenisha right away was to take care of Brixton and Hailin.
Throughout the journey to Hiloshine, the two had been taken care of directly by Meteor.
Caliet smiled bitterly.
Seeing that, he was reminded of his son and daughterinlaw who had gone ahead.
How bitter he must have been to leave his child alive.
Caliet had sent his precious grandson to the farthest domain from the capital.
And he went to visit him once a month.
He wondered if the poor child would have been happier if his son and daughterinlaw were alive.
“Prince Meteor will come to see both of you soon.”
There was a limit to what Count Caliet could say.
In fact, he did not know in detail why Meteor had come to protect the two.
This was something only Meteor could explain.
Caliet took a step back, and not long after, Meteor came to where they were.
Meteor was tired but smiling.
Enchanting enough to captivate anyone’s eyes.
After exchanging a light glance, Meteor opened his mouth.
With a face full of confidence.
“Do you remember when I told you that I would definitely repay the favor?”
He was still formal as if Lenisha was still the Empress.
“I remember. In Shamdir, you always try to give me more than enough, even though I have become a person with nothing left to give.”
“I am just doing what I must.”
Meteor took a deep breath.
Who knows how long he had dreamed of this moment.
Lenisha was a bird trapped by Lexus.
Meteor had been waiting for the timing for her to be free.
Now that Lenisha had come to Hiloshine, the time was right.
Casius looked at Meteor with a displeased face.
He hated that Meteor was doing what he couldn’t.
Casius should have been the one to do everything for Lenisha.
Casius bit the flesh inside his mouth.
“It’s something that must be done. Stop wasting time now, Prince.”
“……You were looking for Lord Brixton and Lady Hailin, weren’t you?”
At that moment, Lenisha’s world changed.
Lenisha held her breath.
Casius grabbed Lenisha’s hand, as if telling her not to forget him.
But Lenisha’s eyes were fixed on Meteor.
“……Have you heard?”
“I am protecting them, Lady Lenisha. And I have brought them here.”
Lenisha slowly blinked her eyes.
Everything seemed to have stopped.
Brixton and Hailin.
Names that weighed on her heart like stones.
“Were they……alive? Really?”
“Yes, they are.”
Lenisha’s breath wavered.
In fact, deep in her heart, she had thought that the two might be dead.
She had been relieved to be able to save Isabella at least.
But now, the world was not so cruel, and Brixton and Hailin were alive.
Her heart felt like it would burst.
“I must, I must see them. With my own eyes.”
Casius supported the staggering Lenisha.
“You can take your time.”
Meteor said in a soft voice.
“They won’t go anywhere else. They will stay here as long as you wish, Lady Lenisha.”
“…….”
Lenisha’s strength left her, and she collapsed to the floor.
Casius picked her up and sat her in a chair.
Lenisha’s tears burst out.
Casius’s heart became complicated in many ways as he looked at it.
Lenisha had asked Casius to find the couple of the lesser nobleman.
However, Casius had failed, and Lenisha had not asked about him for quite some time.
But what Casius couldn’t do, Meteo had accomplished.
A fiery emotion had arisen.
It should have been Casius.
Casius should have found them.
The saliva going down his throat was as hot as if it was going to burn him.
Jealousy, this was certainly jealousy.
If the emotion toward Lexsus was a light jealousy for someone far away, not being very substantial.
This was intense jealousy toward someone who was close.
Casius had come to understand why he was wary of Meteo.
Meteo seemed not only mad like Lexsus but also capable and exceptional in judging the situation.
“……How did you find them?”
“I did not find them. I rescued them, Lenisha. I got them out before the emperor’s knights raided the mansion. So it is not right to say that I found them.”
“……Ha.”
Lenisha covered her face with her palm.
Tears were flowing like a waterfall.
She had thought that Brixton and Haylin might have stayed at the mansion to draw attention and left as they were to save Isabella.
A glimmer of hope swelled up and blazed.
“Are they healthy?”
“Yes, both of them are unharmed.”
Hiloshein hit the mark with Lenisha.
Wasn’t she getting back what she had lost?
The one to open the gate was Casius.
It seemed like fortune had struck Casius as he had thought.
“……I will go to meet them.”
“As much as you wish.”
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…
