To The Eternal Knight (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 216
“Your Majesty. The servants are watching. Please uphold your dignity.”
Claude patted the Empress clinging to his arm with measured calmness and spoke coldly. The two maids reflected in the mirror flinched and immediately bowed their heads.
However, aside from the maids, the Gauwe knights standing beyond the door wore faint sneers over their expressionless faces.
This was unthinkable in Castarti. Yet this place was Gauwe’s stronghold—the very place where Crown Prince Claude Castarti, once the noblest of all, could never become an object of ridicule and contempt.
Here, even the maids bowing their heads, just like the knights who met others’ gazes unflinchingly, would surely be hiding smirks beneath their lowered faces. Of that, Claude would wager a hundred coins.
He glared at the maids with sharp eyes—his frayed nerves bypassing the knights entirely, as if ready to draw his sword the moment he caught even a hint of a smile from them.
“But Your Highness! This simply isn’t right! Go speak to the prince at once! If there are any Gauwe troops besides the Crown Prince who can take your place, I’ll pay any cost afterward!”
Yet the ones he truly wished to silence right now weren’t mere maids.
Damn it…! Claude swallowed a curse under his breath and shoved away the Empress tugging at his arm.
Instantly, the frail woman, who had been clinging only to her son’s arm, tumbled to the floor. The recoil was so strong it yanked her booted ankles and sent the hem of her dress fluttering—but greater still was the shock that struck the Empress herself.
“Cro…wn Prince…”
Only now did her rear sting and her cheeks burn hot. She called out to her son as if capable of repeating only the words “Crown Prince.” The beautiful eyes that had blazed with fury and sorrow now began filling with emptiness.
Yet if her son would only reach out his hand to her—even now—everything would change. If fear of war and unbearable anguish had caused him to push her away, surely a loving mother could forgive that.
But all she received in return was a freezing voice.
“How many times must I tell you—I must go myself.”
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…
