To The Eternal Knight (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 116
Perhaps now, when our hearts don’t quite reach each other…
Edward clenched and unclenched his fist. His pulse throbbed strongly beneath the vivid veins. He stood still, gazing at Nerea’s retreating back.
Her crimson hair swayed like flickering flames with each precise step she took. After walking a few paces, Nerea slowly turned around.
Her pale face shimmered in the sunlight. A delicate, dewy brilliance sparkled over her calm, watery eyes.
“Oh. Your Highness.”
Perhaps it was because of that transparent allure—Edward couldn’t bring himself to call out to her, and so the chance to gather his courage flew far away.
“You mentioned that Sir Ronald Illautzer knows the Valer Territory best. Could I receive any records he compiled regarding your mother’s investigation there?”
Faced with her earnest expression, Edward couldn’t bring himself to say the words he’d just swallowed moments ago.
“…I can give you the records, but they contain absolutely no trace of my mother in the Valer Territory. What mattered to me was this: if my mother’s final resting place truly is there, then I wanted to make that land strong and prosperous.”
Ah. Her clear face gave a dry, curt nod. Edward glanced briefly at the carriage. In his hazel eyes, which measured the remaining thirty paces, a relieved smile gathered.
At least the opportunity hadn’t flown away entirely.
“Confirming details about my mother is important—but regardless of the outcome, I intend to focus on gathering support for now. I’ve never received this many invitations at once, not even as a count.”
Ah. Nerea nodded her head.
Ever since meeting the Crown Prince and hearing about the ‘discarded wife,’ she’d completely forgotten about external affairs.
No matter how dominant the Imperial and Noble factions were, or how weak the Neutral faction had become, House Esteban had openly endorsed the Grand Duke right before the Emperor’s eyes. Now was the perfect moment to strike, while nobles hesitated during this overt power struggle.
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…
