Sharing the fact that only she knew the secret also contributed to lifting the burden from her heart.
From start to finish, Rene maintained a composed attitude.
Her expression showed no disbelief, and there was no sign of her trying to extract information that would benefit her and her family. She just repeatedly confirmed that her choice was right, and that she didn’t have to live a boring life anymore, smiling with satisfaction.
Feeling a sense of relief as she gained a reliable ally, Liz sensed the lingering discomfort fading away.
Her lower abdomen still felt sore, and her appetite was lacking, but it wasn’t unbearable.
“Your Majesty, you should take the medicine.”
Seira said as she brought in a new tea set. A medicine kit and a water glass were placed together on the tray.
After a moment of contemplation, Liz shook her head horizontally.
“I think I don’t need to eat it now. I’ll call you if I need it later.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Seira stepped back, and soon there was a knocking sound.
Since Rosa had informed her in advance, Liz knew that it was the sound announcing Ishar’s visit.
“Come in.”
“Greetings, Your Majesty.”
Ishar greeted with a calm and steady voice before sitting across from her.
“Why have you come?”
“A little while ago, that girl became Your Majesty’s maid, right?”
Both of them asked simultaneously, but Ishar’s voice, with a bit more strength, prevailed.
“Yes, that’s right. She is the daughter of Duke Esmond, as I mentioned before.”
“I thought so. It seemed that way.”
“Did you exchange greetings?”
“Just passing by, we had only formal greetings.”
“Yes… I see.”
Ishar’s eyebrows twitched slightly as if he had an odd impression from the lengthy tail of the conversation. However, he didn’t inquire further.
“She doesn’t seem suitable as a maid.”
It wasn’t difficult to guess what kind of appearance Rene had shown through his eyes.
“Of course, she may not be suitable as a common maid. However, when it comes to using her as a supporting force, there might be no one more suitable. Especially since she’s from the Esmond family.”
If Rene weren’t from the Esmond family, how would he have dealt with her?
Liz suddenly became curious.
“Well, whoever you choose is Your Majesty’s freedom. From my perspective, there are many families, besides the Esmond family, that can be helpful to Your Majesty, both in supporting your actions and as a political force.”
“….”
Ishar’s words cut sharply.
It seemed like he was seeing through Liz’s intentions in selecting Rene as a close aide among the many maids she had.
Liz wanted to quickly change the subject. So, she hurriedly asked the initial question.
“But why have you come?”
Fortunately, she wasn’t buried in the topic this time.
“I heard that Your Majesty has no appetite.”
Ishar said.
Liz felt she knew why he had come. It was likely related to the request from the main royal scribe in the morning, asking her to mention any dish she would like to eat.
“Your Majesty asked Kyeong for a trivial favor.”
“….”
“I’m fine, so don’t worry. I can’t trouble someone busy with such trivial matters. I apologize.”
“If you know you’re sorry…”
Ishar’s gaze was as sharp as a well-honed blade.
“Do not take up more of my time and speak quickly.”
His tone was so firm that it would be frightening to ask for more.
‘I wonder if Hersis’s pressure makes people like that?’
He wasn’t sure. Ishar had a personality too upright to yield to such pressure.
Liz spoke, “It’s a dish that Kyeong can’t create.”
“That’s for me to judge.”
He was a man of great determination. Liz decided to bring up the topic for now.
“Well, um… it’s a dish with long, chewy ingredients soaked in a red and spicy sauce.”
As Liz continued her explanation, she also observed Ishar’s face.
The stubbornness in his face was gradually disappearing.
His gaze became puzzled, and his head tilted to the side – a sight not unfamiliar to Liz.
It was the same as when she had told Mirebel the recipe for this dish about a year ago.
“See that? I told you Kyeong can’t make this dish.”
Liz burst into laughter.
“Just pretend you didn’t hear it. I have such a poor appetite that I want to eat all kinds of strange dishes.”
“If you eat that…”
“….?”
“Do you think your appetite will return?”
Ishar’s voice was quite serious.
‘Could it be that he’s thinking of making it?’
Somehow, Liz felt like she needed to answer carefully.
“Probably… yes.”
Upon hearing that, Ishar spoke with a determined voice.
“Then, please give me one day.”
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.
