At Reynald’s summons, Count Hermaintz marveled at how quickly his request had been concluded. He thought to himself, “Has my commission really wrapped up so swiftly?” With light footsteps, he went to meet Reynald, pondering that Nihil’s reputation in the underground was indeed not just a rumor.
However, what awaited him was not news of the completed request, but the sight of Reynald, now in tatters. From head to toe, he was wrapped in bandages, unmistakably resembling a seriously ill patient that anyone could see.
What on earth happened? Count Hermaintz, unable to conceal his confusion, took a seat in front of Reynald.
“Have you come? Please, take a seat here.”
Count Hermaintz sat down with a puzzled expression.
“This is beyond words.”
“There was a bit of an issue.”
“Judging by your condition, it seems my request wasn’t successful. Why did you call me to see you like this?”
“I want to proceed with the contract right away.”
“Now, do you believe what I said? That woman, Lysten, is a match.”
“That part hasn’t been definitively confirmed, but it doesn’t matter. I will carry out the Count’s request. Please prepare the advance payment immediately.”
“You want to tear off useless land from my territory, right? Fine, that’s good. I’ve already prepared the land documents.”
“Did you bring them?”
After a nod from Count Hermaintz, his assistant handed over the documents.
“Please verify.”
After a cursory check of the documents, Reynald tucked them into his arms.
“No seal?”
“The seal will be affixed by my lord after the final review.”
“Huh, what is this situation? A contract is a mutual process. Shouldn’t it be done face to face?”
“Don’t worry; we’ll arrange a meeting soon. When y
“I would appreciate it if you could discreetly arrange a meeting with Viscount Ryan Eadalyn.”
“Ryan? He’s not difficult, but why him?”
“We need to preemptively capture those around Riley Eadalyn. He seems to be a suitable figure for us to exploit.”
“Do we need to go that far? Is it that challenging to separate that woman from Gibben Lianster?”
“At first, I didn’t think it would be a difficult task, but now it has become complicated.”
“Why?”
“Gibben Lianster won’t create any more openings. Besides, she is not an easy target. In fact, she is much more dangerous than Gibben Lianster.”
This incident became a good opportunity to confirm the value of Riley Eadalyn, but it also exposed the existence of an enemy aiming for Riley Eadalyn to Gibben Lianster.
Having learned this, Gibben Lianster would now protect Riley Eadalyn more rigorously than before. Although luck played a role in creating an opportunity this time, there was no guarantee that such an opportunity could be recreated.
“A lowly woman more dangerous than the Marquis of Horizons’ Matapju? What nonsense is this? At this point, I’m starting to doubt your professionalism. After coming all this way, you can’t even handle one job properly and are now seeking help from the client?”
“To detach that woman from Matapju, we must deal with Matapju. Do you think this is a problem that can be easily solved?”
“I just asked you to separate that woman from him. Does it really require killing Matapju? Couldn’t you try kidnapping or staging an accident? There are many ways.”
“There are shadows attached specifically to that woman’s surroundings. Moreover, she is under surveillance and protection directly under Gibben’s control. There is almost no way to separate her individually. Even if you manage to intercept her, you will only get entangled. Gibben Lianster would have taken measures to track her.”
Upon hearing Reynald’s words, Count Hermaintz rubbed his throbbing forehead and sighed.
“Is it possible to deal with Gibben Lianster?”
“I’ve already handled the former Matapju. Is there any reason why I can’t handle this Matapju?”
“!”
“We don’t set a separate deadline for requests. The request to deal with Gibben Lianster is still ongoing. And once we take on a request, we always fulfill it.”
Count Hermaintz became like a bee that had tasted honey, making only a hum.
The fact that the former Matapju had been murdered was well-known to Count Hermaintz. However, he suspected that the one who killed the former Matapju, Yung, might not be Gibben Lianster.
Yung gained the most advantage from Yung’s death, and although he is Yung’s disciple, Reynald thought it was not an unlikely event since Yung had been carrying ominous rumors since childhood.
But it wasn’t so?
“Did you really handle the former Matapju?”
Reynald shrugged his shoulders and smiled.
“How can you believe that?”
“If you can’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do.”
“…….”
“Whether you continue the request or not is up to the Viscount to decide. What will you do?”
What should I do?
After contemplating for a moment, Count Hermaintz stood up.
“I’ll decide after confirming who the ‘lord’ is that you will contract with.”
“Very well. We’ll see you on the day of the contract.”
Count Hermaintz turned away, rubbing his throbbing forehead.
Let’s see the face of the master behind this secret organization and how remarkable he is.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
