Unable To Escape (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 27
After Alicia and Raleigh left the dining room, the Emperor, Adrian, and the three dukes moved to the Emperor’s office.
Sienna and Duchess MacLeod had already moved elsewhere to discuss matters regarding this banquet.
“You encountered a mutant on your way back to the capital?”
At the Emperor’s words from his seat of honor, Duke Fraser and Duke MacLeod both nodded in unison.
“Thanks to Killian quickly sharing how to deal with the beast, there wasn’t major damage, but the problem was that it appeared near a village.”
Duke Fraser spoke as he devoured the cookie the servant had placed before him, as if swallowing it whole—apparently still hungry despite having just eaten.
Southern regions, due to active trade with the neighboring kingdom of Tirione, had large, well-maintained roads, and since the weather grew milder the farther south one went, villages both large and small clustered densely along these roads.
The appearance of a mutant on such a road was nothing short of a disaster.
“Were there any damages to the villagers’ homes?”
“We lured it away before it could nest, so there’s no real damage… unless you count everyone being thoroughly terrified.”
Duke Fraser popped the last cookie into his mouth in one bite and rinsed his palate with a sip of warm tea.
While the Emperor fell briefly into thought upon hearing this, Adrian spoke up.
“Was the black crystal found there as well?”
“We searched the nearby forest in case more beasts remained, and yes—it was there. I brought it back safely and handed it over to the captain of the royal guard; you can verify it yourself.”
Although some time had passed since Duke Fraser arrived in the capital, today was actually the first time they’d properly exchanged information, as she’d been mindful of the surrounding eyes until now.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]

Alicia is very unlucky. Of all the servants, she found only Killian’s spy.
Marisa wants time to tell Killian about it. The problem is that Alicia never suspected her.
We are all shocked. The person Alicia came looking for right in front of her.
