In all the time Lexsus had known Lenisha, it was the first time he had seen her laugh like that.
His mouth was dry from drinking, perhaps.
“Water.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Henry deftly attended to Lexsus.
A moment later, the empty glass was refilled with an amber liquid.
“What are you looking at?”
Henry carelessly threw a question.
For some reason, Lexsus now seemed precarious.
Always frivolous Lexsus.
Now he couldn’t even guess what he was thinking, and fear preceded.
Even to Henry’s question, Lexsus said nothing, only looking quietly outside.
Moisture formed on the glass from the ice inside.
Lexsus, who wiped it off with his finger, clenched the glass.
From Lexsus flowed a savage emotion.
An emotion strong enough to frighten Henry, who was standing beside him.
However, Lexsus seemed to have no thought at all, just tilting his glass.
Clink.
The sound of the ice moving in the glass broke the silence.
Lexsus’s eyes narrowed.
“Too close.”
“Yes?”
“Too close, I say. There’s no need for that.”
Lexsus turned his strange violet eyes and stared at Henry.
Still an inscrutable look.
Last night, when Lexsus entered Lenisha’s bedroom, how was she?
Wood would have been better than that.
When he saw her face, rejecting Lexsus with her whole body, he almost tore Lenisha apart.
Of course, he could have done that.
If only his hand had reached out according to Lexsus’s intention.
He didn’t know why nothing went his way in front of Lenisha.
After all, Lenisha must be removed from sight.
During the past years, Lenisha never obediently accepted Lexsus, not even once.
Even on their shameful first night.
He didn’t like how close Casius and Lenisha’s relationship was.
What conversation could they be having, standing so close together?
Lenisha, who even hated being close to Lexsus, was different with Casius.
In the greenhouse, now too.
Clunk.
The ice in Lexsus’s glass made a noise as he moved.
Henry moved his gaze, following Lexus, who moved like a predator stalking its prey.
Henry swallowed his saliva.
Lexus filled the empty wine glass with his own hand.
“Really, you cannot understand the human heart. Even if you give the most precious thing, the girl who turned away may turn her eyes to the most trivial thing. Do you think so too?”
Henry quickly realized that it was not a question that demanded an answer.
Henry harbored an awkward smile.
Lexus closed the balcony door.
Henry knew that subtle anger was implied in that action.
Later, Henry found out that where the Emperor had been looking, there were Empress Lenisha and War hero Casius.
No one can guess Lexus’s mind.
But Henry was sure of one thing.
That Lexus did not dislike the Empress.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]The jewels of the Empress and the fabric that should have been presented to the Empress by Shandir.
They became Canary’s pride.
Today was the celebration of Lexus’s ascension.
Only Canary could enter this grand hall without any pretense.
But this is the end.
After Lenisha leaves, Canary will soon…!
“I must have a child. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
“Yes……”
The nights when she hid her face and hastily dressed gave strength to Canary.
Barbara had brought a foolish man.
The man asked nothing of Canary and just took the money and left.
That only Barbara was attending to Canary also helped.
Canary secretly left the Imperial Palace and secretly returned.
Canary, who does nothing in the Imperial Palace.
No one cared even if she left the Imperial Palace for two or three hours.
The Emperor looked for Canary only when he wanted to kill time.
Lately, preparing for the ascension celebration kept the Emperor too busy.
He had to receive delegations from various countries and prepare for the festival and banquet.
Precious guests were accommodated in rooms within the Imperial Palace.
Empress Lenisha prepared their rooms.
Soon, that task will be taken over by Canary.
Proudly becoming the mistress of the Imperial Palace.
Thinking of that day allowed her to forget the filthy hands that had fondled Canary’s body.
Canary hugged her lower abdomen.
“In here……”
A child must be growing.
Canary was sincere in throwing everything away for it.
She had given her body to such a guy.
Today, she was determined to lure Lexus to the bedroom.
Canary covered her exposed chest with her palm.
Her heart thumped.
Barbara had guaranteed that Canary would be the most beautiful today.
“Everything will be fine.”
Of course. Canary smiled and nodded.
“His Highness.”
The servant turned his grumpy face.
In fact, even the servants working in the Imperial Palace had higher status than Canary.
Canary gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.
Especially now. Canary had to attend the banquet in her most beautiful form.
The dawdling servant opened the door and announced loudly.
“Lady Canary enters!”
A bright light welcomed Canary.
That light will lead Canary to a higher place.
Certainly.
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…
