Isabella peeked her head out among the knights.
The knights had been busy all day.
Ever since returning from the Chorpa Plains, the knights who had always been lounging about were scurrying around carrying something.
And Linday was bossing them around with just a word.
“Phew. When will this end? I think I’d rather be on the battlefield. Is that just my imagination?”
“Where has our ladyinwaiting gone? Shouldn’t the strongest lend a hand?”
“Our ladyinwaiting has gone out.”
The knights snickered and burst into laughter.
It was something so funny that it was unbelievable even though they said it themselves.
To call Casius, the largest of them all, a ladyinwaiting!
Lenisha must have said such a thing because she had not seen Casius fighting on the battlefield.
Casius was a sharp and fierce sword, a cruel knight who did not hesitate for a moment.
The reason Casius was able to lead the knights was not only because he had obtained the power of the red snake, but also because he had killed the most enemies.
Because Lenisha did not know that fact, she had given him such a cute nickname without equal.
When he heard that story from Terion, he thought he was going to die.
From laughing too much.
Even thinking about it now, he can’t help but laugh.
Isabella, who had been spying on the knights, followed them.
“Huh? Tesha. What were you doing… Ugh!”
The knight who was hit in the side by his colleague gasped for breath.
“Miss Isabella. You should call her Miss, you brat!”
Isabella’s eyes widened, and she lowered her head.
She hadn’t been following them all along to talk about that.
Isabella remembered the hands that were extended to her in the most frightening and difficult moments.
Even the way they casually called Tesha’s name and brushed her hair.
In front of Isabella, who had returned from the gates of the underworld, there were no familiar faces.
All the people who had known and loved Isabella were dead.
The ones who rescued her from those attacking her were Casius, and the ones who saved her life were the doctor she met in the military camp, and the knights who had carried her to the institution like a mother duck.
In their embrace, Isabella had been able to come here safely.
“But why is our young lady here?”
Isabella twisted her body.
“I’m bored….”
The maids, including Linday, treated Isabella like a newborn duckling.
It was a child they had barely regained, and they were heartbroken to think of the pain she had suffered to change her eye color.
They wouldn’t let Isabella do anything.
To rest and do what she wants.
But what could Isabella possibly do in this mansion?
She was chased out wherever she went, whether it was serving tea or hanging around the mopping area.
Isabella licked her lips.
“Can I help?”
“Hmm.”
Isabella’s eyes sparkled.
Her big eyes were pleading, wanting to do something.
The knights of Casius were inherently weak to Isabella.
Her small body was sympathetic to them compared to their large ones, and just thinking about her crossing the front line made their hearts soften.
The knights nodded their heads.
“We’re moving stuff, Miss. Don’t lift anything too heavy.”
“Yes!”
“Do it without getting hurt. Can you promise?”
“Yes!”
“Good. We need hands right now, can you help us, Miss?”
Isabella’s small head nodded as if it were going to fall off.
The knights had no choice but to melt at that sight.
They took turns stroking Isabella’s head.
The hair that the maids had cleverly dressed was messed up.
But Isabella was smiling all the while, seemingly enjoying it.
“But we’re all going to Hiloshain?”
“That’s what they say.”
“You’re not coming back?”
“That’s something we don’t know. Why, do you like it here?”
Isabella quickly shook her head.
“That’s not it. It’s my first time going to Hiloshain. Kkeungcha!”
Isabella lifted a small bag of luggage.
The knights observed Isabella’s staggering walk with careful eyes.
How bored Isabella must have been, scurrying around like a squirrel all day.
It would be good for the child to do something like this.
However, the opinions of the knights and maids differed sharply.
The maids who saw Isabella carrying the luggage ran, scowling.
“What are you making the young lady carry now?”
“So should a person do nothing all day and be just lying around?”
A knight shouted back.
Now, being used to having a woman in the mansion, they could speak differently than before.
Sparks flew from the maids’ eyes.
“What if she gets hurt?”
“It’s not only good to hold and raise a child!”
“You shouldn’t fight….”
Isabella stomped her foot.
That wasn’t the intention. She just wanted to do something because she was bored.
The maids and knights, yelling and fighting over childrearing issues, were unaware that they were like a quarreling couple.
Henry, who had been watching the situation from afar, shook his head.
Well, such a problem is easily solved.
“Uh, uaaaaaaaaang!”
Like that, when the child bursts into tears.
(This is a time separator.)
Casius wiped the fatigue from his face.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
