After the situation was somewhat sorted out, the inn quieted down again. Unable to resist her curiosity, Etienne went to Leharht’s room.
It seemed she wouldn’t be able to sleep peacefully without asking. Moreover, considering that the Crown Prince could head to the capital at any time, she thought now was the opportunity. When Etienne knocked on the door, a voice from inside told her to come in.
“Your Highness.”
“I n
Leharht looked at the empty wine glass, and whatever thought crossed his mind, he placed it in the center of the table. Then, while rummaging through his pocket, he sent a gaze to Etienne, indicating it was okay to talk.
“Did you intentionally capture Prince Rudvi?”
“Yeah.”
“Why?”
“Why?”
Taking something out of his pocket, Leharht smirked.
“He wasn’t originally like that.”
“Originally… he wasn’t. I just waited quietly and got caught.”
At the mention
When Leharht opened the pocket entrance, a golden light spread out first. He took out an egg and poured it into a wine glass, and then the light spread from the center of the table.
As Etienne couldn’t take her eyes off that scene, Leharht, enjoying the view together, spoke. However, what he was savoring was Etienne admiring the golden glow of the egg.
“Since I knew Rudvi was trying to find something from me, I just used that. Fortunately, there was so mu
Etienne, realizing what he was referring to, looked at Leharht in disbelief.
“There’s a different reason for that.”
“I’m very curious about the reason. I thought you were falling for Rudvi again. If it’s really like that, I wondered if it would be okay to proceed with my plan as originally intended.”
“Please stop saying strange things. It’s not like that. No, it’s all because of the prince.”
“Me?”
When Leharht pointed to himself, Etienne nodded.
“Because the prince said strange things…”
Certainly, she had been engulfed in fear when she saw Prince Rudvi. Captivated by his gaze, she felt like she would be taken to the gallows immediately.
The moment she saw his smile, Leharht’s words ca
Whatever happened, Etienne decided to just appreciate it because she was pretty.
“Now, the future we know is going to change a lot.”
At Leharht’s sincere words, Etienne nodded. Since the moment he attacked Rudvi, things couldn’t flow along the original course anymore.
“It’s unpredictable what dangers may come. Are you okay with it?”
“I’m okay.”
Etienne looked at the egg and smiled faintly.
“If something is meant to happen, it will happen no matter what I do. And because things turned out like this, I can dream of a new future.”
“You say that, but isn’t it scary?”
“Why would it be?”
“If falling off is something that is bound to happen, what will you do if it really happens?”
To Leharht’s exaggeration, Etienne shook her head.
“He imprisoned Prince Rudvi to prevent that. We just need to show that we won’t stay quiet.”
Etienne responded as if it was nothing, then resumed appreciating the egg.
“Yeah, let’s do that.”
Thanks to that, Leharht also gazed at Etienne’s
In response to the butler’s words, Etienne, who had been watching her parents heading to the castle outside the window, tilted her head.
“I have an appointment.”
“With whom?”
“Fernando. Since he said he’d stop by, prepare a seat for him.”
He was on his way to the duke’s house because he had to stop by. Etienne shook off the fatigue from the journey and changed her steps.
“Understood. But, may I ask why the duke wants to see Miss?”
Etienne turned her head sideways. She didn’t know why
After a moment of silence, Hana struggled to speak.
“I wanted to become friends with Duke Fernando during this trip.”
Considering Hana’s previous interest in Fernando, her surprising confession wasn’t so shocking. She had become more noticeable in her actions since the wild bo
“I’m sorry.”
There was no need to think about this. Hana’s pupils trembled at Etienne’s swift rejection.
“You don’t want to help me?”
“If it’s something else, I can help in any way, but not this.”
It wasn’t that I didn’t want to help Hana because I used to like Fernando. It’s just…
“Feelings don’t change just because someone helps.”
I knew this from having an unrequited love. The flow of such emotions cannot be obtained through someone else’s help.
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…
