The news that Lenisha was in Casius’s mansion spread far and wide.
People’s reactions were diverse.
To the public, Lenisha was a hero of the empire, known to have committed adultery with Casius and driven out.
But the majority of the imperial citizens did not blame Lenisha.
“There must have been a reason for it!”
“Indeed. Isn’t she the Empress? She would never do such a thing.”
“Right. That’s why the Emperor just let her go, right?”
“You guys are too optimistic. Committing adultery is committing adultery!”
“You! The Empress is human too. Are you too harsh? Did you forget how you survived the famine three years ago due to the Empress’s grace? If it weren’t for her grain distribution, if it weren’t for her new policy, you would have thrown yourself into the Mentusha river long ago!”
“Ahem. That is……. ”
“We must never forget who we are living for.”
They were those who remembered the compassion that Lenisha had bestowed.
Even in front of Lenisha’s abdication statement, they lingered with sadness.
“Then who will become the Empress? Is there anyone to replace her?”
“Can there be?”
“Why, there’s that woman. The Emperor’s concubine? The woman often mentioned in scandalous articles.”
“How can that woman become the Empress?”
People vented their discontent.
“It’s clear that woman sowed discord between the Emperor and Empress.”
“A neverbeforeseen wicked woman!”
“If not for that woman, would the Empress have been driven out so unjustly?”
“That’s right.”
Everyone chimed in agreement.
People still remembered Lenisha in their hearts.
Whoever occupied her place would be overshadowed by Lenisha’s shadow, a foregone conclusion.
Because of Lenisha and Casius, the capital was heated.
Everyone gathered and talked about Lenisha and Casius.
And then someone else opened their mouth.
“Perhaps something has developed between Empress Lenisha, who is disappointed because of that woman, and War hero Casius, who consoled Her Majesty.”
“That’s right! That makes sense!”
“The impatient Empress requested a divorce from the Emperor, and Casius took the opportunity to declare that he would take responsibility for Her Majesty! Isn’t Casius a man? And a hero! He’s quite striking even from a distance.”
“He’s now a duke as well. Didn’t he inherit the title of Duke of Rotera?”
“It was a tragic event. The Duke of Rotera’s house is closed.”
“Whatever it is, it’s certain that an unspoken love has begun between the two. Even the Emperor had to admit it!”
People started to listen to the fictional story they created.
Lenisha was the perfect Empress and a beloved figure to them.
And Casius was a hero who saved the empire from threat.
On the other hand, what about Canaria?
She was the villain who made such an Empress sad.
Also, what about Lexsus?
He was being called a tyrant of this age.
It was clear where the people’s hearts were leaning.
People began to rave about the stimulating and beautiful romance that blossomed between Lenisha and Casius.
It didn’t take long for the arbitrarily edited and madeup story to take hold as truth among the people.
It was an outcome that no one could have predicted.
(This is a time separator.)
Casius embraced Lenisha’s back.
His rough, calloused palm brushed over Lenisha’s soft skin.
Lenisha buried her face in Casius’s shoulder.
If Casius had not dreamt of such a moment, it would be a lie.
He dreamed of her, who kept him awake, when Lenisha came down from her shining golden chair to stand by Casius’s side.
Casius exhaled hot breath.
He had never met any woman before, but he wasn’t ignorant of what transpired between men and women.
He had received numerous temptations even when he was working as a slave gladiator.
He had only turned his head and pretended not to know to keep his belief.
Casius slid his lips on Lenisha’s smooth cheek.
The blushing Lenisha evoked different emotions than usual.
Waves struck Casius’s heart.
“Lenisha.”
Casius whispered Lenisha’s name.
Lenisha opened her eyes, which had been tightly closed.
Her bright pink pupils were darkened even in the darkness.
Casius kissed Lenisha’s eye.
“Lenisha.”
Her name was like a piece of candy.
It felt like a lingering fragrance in his mouth.
Is it because of now?
Lenisha slowly closed her eyes as she heard her name being called by Casius.
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…
