To The Eternal Knight (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 65
“…Me too.”
For nearly ten years, everyone who had called her father “Count Esteban” had indiscriminately used both his and Nerea’s titles interchangeably, referring to both simply as “Count Esteban.”
Now, it was repulsive how people acted as if they’d never forgotten that Nerea had once been Count Esteban—when, in truth, they’d forgotten her for nearly a decade.
“But then, which of those black armors was the real one?”
A wave of flustered emotion surged up inside her. Brienna stared fixedly at a single spot, as if swallowing a breath. Surrounded by young ladies, she had to straighten her back and feign composure despite the contemptuous gazes directed at her.
“Oh, does it really matter which one was real? In the end, both became Count Esteban’s anyway.”
“That’s true. Since both belong to Count Esteban now, it doesn’t matter which was real or fake at all! Goodness, Your Highness the Crown Princess is absolutely magnificent!”
Even the flattery meant to smooth things over felt just as awkward. It sounded as though she’d known Nerea would appear and deliberately made one of the armors fake.
Any idle rumors about which armor was genuine would be dangerous; given the Crown Prince’s already sharp attitude, even the slightest misstep could prove perilous.
“That sort of thing!”
Brienna’s irritated outburst slipped out before she could stop herself. She quickly forced a smile.
“…Never mind.”
Desperate to shift the topic, Brienna brought up the charity bazaar.
“Now that I think of it, will you young ladies attend tomorrow’s charity bazaar? It would be wonderful if we could all admire together the exquisite gifts offered by the Rosa Trading Company.”
Other young ladies, seemingly eager to help lighten the mood, began chiming in about how much they were looking forward to the bazaar.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
