If only it could sow doubt for even a moment!
“If you do that, your family can live.”
Gael’s pupils dilated.
He was pushed by limbs.
It seemed like a thorny path unfolded before his eyes.
Gael blinked.
In front was a cliff, behind were enemies.
Was the choice he could make already determined?
Gael shook his head.
Death was appropriate.
Renisha had foretold him of death.
Renisha crouched and lay on the bed.
Cassius slowly raised and lowered his body, embracing her.
Renisha hadn’t slept a wink last night.
Cassius couldn’t sleep either, as he pleaded, claiming to hear the voice of the deceased.
Cassius lowered his lips and stamped a seal on her neck.
“…Shh. Try to sleep, Renisha.”
Renisha blinked her stiff eyes.
The children brought from Caliot were taken care of by the nurses.
They would wash and feed the children themselves.
Her head felt hazy.
She didn’t know if it was because she couldn’t sleep or because her heart was heavy.
“…I can’t sleep.”
“You couldn’t sleep yesterday either.”
Cassius said with a voice mixed with a sigh, then pulled Renisha into his arms.
Renisha closed her eyes slowly in the warm heat.
It was warm.
Enough to calm Renisha’s troubled heart.
Cassius covered Renisha’s eyes with the palm of his hand.
Her stiff eyes closed.
Renisha exhaled a languid breath.
“…It’ll be okay after you sleep.”
“Viscount Calliot won’t come back. And my parents… the knights who died, too.”
“At least I won’t die.”
“…”
“I won’t make you sad. I won’t die or get hurt. Always here.”
Renisha swallowed her saliva.
Perhaps this was the most comforting thing Renisha wanted to hear.
It would be better if there were no more people hurt or killed because of Renisha.
Wasn’t it enough until now?
Lexus appeared as if he came to destroy Renisha’s life… he broke her again and again.
“I will protect you.”
Renisha nodded her heavy head.
Whatever truth Lexus learned, he would surely take action.
Fortunately, Rotera was no longer a criminal family.
Since Lexus vindicated them with his own hands.
Hailin, Brixton, and Isabella were no longer sinners.
Lexus couldn’t use the knights in Hiloshine for any reason.
While it was uneasy that the knights of Hiloshine fell into Lexus’s grasp, the knights of Hiloshine were not inferior.
Even if Lexus’s people in Hiloshine died, he couldn’t do anything about it.
They were no longer sinners, persecuted nobles.
No matter how foolish Lexus is, would he go to such lengths?
Thoughts became intricately entangled.
Whenever her eyes blinked, long eyelashes caught on Cassius’s palm.
Renisha covered her hand over Cassius’s hand.
Cassius kissed Renisha’s neck firmly.
“Just sleep like that, Renisha.”
“…If someone else gets hurt or dies while I’m asleep…”
“There won’t be such a thing tonight.”
“How does Cassius know that?”
“I’ll make sure of it.”
Knowing it was nothing more than absurd arrogance, she still wanted to believe.
Renisha hid herself in Cassius’s embrace.
She was fortunate to have Cassius.
In moments of helplessness and self-loathing like this, there was a place to breathe.
Renisha slowly fell into sleep.
She hoped tonight would be peaceful.
Cassius swept his hair aside.
Renisha’s small face, peacefully asleep, caught Cassius’s gaze.
The thick feeling of fatigue was gradually fading.
“Renisha…”
He didn’t know why bad things kept happening to Renisha.
Just when he thought it might be over, the world struck her in the back of the head.
Like this time.
He wanted to take care of Renisha in her place, but he couldn’t, and it was regrettable.
Cassius cautiously stroked Renisha’s cheek.
“Renisha…”
Renisha had many people around her.
She cherished and respected all of them.
Then, what kind of person was Cassius to Renisha?
Ambition flashed in Cassius’s eyes.
Renisha promised to become Cassius’s family.
Ambition was endless.
He wanted to become Renisha’s only person, to be special.
Cassius gently touched Renisha’s cheek with care.
Cassius slowly bent his waist.
The kiss on Renisha’s cheek by Cassius separated.
And on all the ambitions Cassius felt towards Renisha…
“Don’t cry, Renisha.”
There was tenderness.
“I feel so powerless when you cry. Like I’ve become a useless idiot who can’t do anything.”
Cassius wiped Renisha’s eyes with his finger.
If he could, he wanted to enter the imperial palace right now and cut Lexus’s throat.
But before reaching that point, Cassius’s throat would be cut.
He promised not to die, so he couldn’t do such a thing.
As Cassius’s torment deepened, the night also grew darker.
And the next day, new cards arrived to resolve Cassius’s concerns.
“Kien.”
“I’m back, Your Grace!”
Next to him stood a tall woman with her hair tied high.
“This is Luna.”
The two-legged beings returned to him.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
