Unless Renisha revealed it, Mateo would never know.
People were blindly loyal to Renisha.
He seemed to know the reason.
Renisha was secretive, dangerous, and at the same time, a fascinating person.
Mateo propped his chin and scrutinized Isabella intently.
“What is your aunt doing right now?” Mateo chuckled. What could she possibly be doing with a sleeping child?
Henry narrowed his eyes. Something seemed to flash in his invisible eyes. While still supporting himself on the messenger child, Henry asked, “Who is sitting in the seat where I was just sitting?”
“Yes. I don’t know who it is, but there’s a man sitting there.”
Henry said without hesitation, “We’ll have to postpone greetings. Let’s go out through the back door. The carriage is waiting, right?”
“Yes!”
The messenger child secretly slipped out through the back door with Henry’s support.
Henry gave the child two more pouches of money.
“This is payment for keeping a secret. If you break the secret, you’ll pay the price.”
The child’s eyes widened at the ominous voice.
“A price?”
“Yes, a price. A very frightening law. Can you see my eyes? These eyes paid the price. You could end up like me.”
The child shivered.
After confirming the child turned pale, Henry closed the door.
This should be a sufficient warning.
The carriage started moving.
Only then did the tension leave the stiff body.
Henry leaned his head against the carriage.
To Henry, who offered a large sum, the coachman pledged allegiance.
Despite the swaying, this carriage would safely take Henry to the imperial city.
What Henry had prepared at the mansion was money, sleeping pills, and finally, a note with the address of the imperial palace.
He escaped with just that. It would be the cost of complacency.
Hiloshain focused on protecting the child.
They probably didn’t think a blind person could do anything.
“Foolish people,” Henry muttered.
What he regretted was not being able to take Isabella on this carriage.
He had planned to casually return and take the child… Unfortunately, it didn’t work out.
Henry pounded the carriage with his fist.
Still, he learned that Brixton was alive.
Lexus would have planted more than just Henry’s eyes; he would surely have heard news from Hiloshain.
Did Lexus know about Brixton?
Those who made Henry like this would all pay the price.
It was a rare day for Renisha to enjoy some leisure.
Everything that needed urgent attention in the system had been sorted out.
Now, all she had to do was watch how things unfolded.
Barbara had returned to Canaria.
Canaria, hanging on the Denver Marquis, was trying to cross the ocean.
And the aristocrats in the social circle had returned to Renisha.
Then, there was Lexus.
“Hmph.”
Lexus remained alone, becoming an isolated emperor.
No one would follow Lexus, and he would no longer be considered an emperor.
Tomorrow would be a busier day than yesterday.
It was the day Renisha and Cassius moved to the mansion.
Lexus would probably think that he prepared that mansion with his own power and will.
“[Prepare a new mansion in the system.]”
It was one of the orders Renisha gave to Turiel, Denver, and the courtiers.
Initially, the plan was to repair and use the mansion.
However, it was too small in scale, and being in such an exposed location made it inadequate for anything secretive.
What was needed was a large, discreet, and ancient mansion.
Renisha carefully chose a mansion.
Choosing a mansion for Lexus would have been impossible in just a few months, so she had to choose one to repair.
The mansion Renisha chose was conveyed by Turiel to Denver, Denver to the courtiers, and the courtiers whispered it into the emperor’s ear.
“Do you not want to recover Renisha? Will you really leave the first empress in such a place? She needs a place to come back and stay!”
She hadn’t just been quietly staying in Hiloshain all this time.
Renisha was making preparations for the future one by one.
“Everything… is going smoothly.”
Cassius glanced at Renisha with caution.
There was a darkness that didn’t suit Renisha’s face.
“They say the production of weapons in Hiloshain is picking up speed. Gael Calliot revealed Hiloshain’s secrets to the emperor, but the emperor won’t be able to grasp anything.”
“…Are you pleased?”
“Yes, I am pleased.”
Renisha nodded slowly.
This leisurely tea time with Cassius was possible because everything was proceeding without a hitch.
There was nothing to hinder Renisha.
“The ones supporting Lexus won’t last much longer. No, they’ve already started looking for a new emperor. Most of the nobles who are smiling in front of me have different thoughts behind their backs. Find the new Hientre bloodline.”
“…”
“I have to defeat them too, Cassius. Countless Hientre bloodlines will crawl up to the system. Hiloshain’s army is needed to prepare for that time.”
“Renisha.”
“Yes.”
“Are you really happy?”
Renisha’s eyes widened.
Cassius, with doubt, asked her.
“I don’t understand why you don’t seem happy.”
Cassius sighed and kissed Renisha’s fingertips.
“May all my fortune be on your side.”
Feeling an inexplicable thrill, Renisha placed her hand on her chest.
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.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
