“You came back early. I thought you would stay overnight there.”
At Salk’s words, Gibnen chuckled and sat down.
“I wanted to, but I held back.”
“……The documents you asked for are ready.”
“You’ve been working hard. How about the reporters?”
“I’ve taken measures to prevent any leaks about Riley Eardalin.”
“Quick thinking. Well done.”
“I would appreciate if you would consider a raise for my good work.”
“I’ll think about it.”
“Thank you.”
“Tell Count Ermeintz that I spent the night with her at the hotel. Well, he must have guessed after seeing the picture in the article, but it’s good to give him a confirmation shot, isn’t it?”
He ordered a severe blow to be dealt to the victim who had been robbed of his betrothed. A terrifying man indeed. Of course, whether that victim was a real victim was questionable.
“Did you have a good talk with her?”
“We communicated well. We understood each other.”
“Did she accept your proposal?”
“Of course, I’m not someone to be refused anywhere. I’m not sure about the baron, though. He might negotiate with her. Just in case, I should prepare some threats in advance.”
He was young but wicked. Knowing his own worth too well, he had never even considered being refused.
He was confident in this deal. He was sure that this deal would be successful.
“The one you originally wanted as a guardian was her, right?”
“…….”
“Did you change the course to marriage because of the scandal?”
“You are curious about many things.”
“Of course, I’m not curious about just anyone. It’s just the best mindset to serve my master, caring about my master’s matters.”
“Very reliable. I didn’t know you cared about me so diligently.”
“I’m glad you know. Of course, I hope you’ll also consider this part for a raise.”
Gibnen leaned back and rested against the backrest, twirling his quill pen and chuckling.
“It was a choice for convenience.”
“…….”
“I could have gone through the guardian process, but that snakelike man wouldn’t have given her up easily.”
“What’s the purpose of marrying that lady?”
“First, protection.”
“…….”
“Then maybe some use. Add curiosity to that.”
It had been troublesome what the master left behind, but unexpectedly, Riley Eardalin became a burden. She was more appealing than he had thought.
“She seems cute. I think we’ll get along.”
“……How can you be so sure after just one day?”
“Inner harmony doesn’t lie.”
……You crazy man!
Salk’s face turned red, almost spilling the documents he was holding.
“Why are you embarrassed?”
“Indeed, the one who made the embarrassing remark was the master.”
“Our marriage will be conducted in strict secrecy. Make sure there are no leaks.”
“Of course. By the way…… Did you tell Lord Alton?”
“What.”
“About getting married.”
“No, I’ll tell him now.”
Since rejecting the 7th Princess’s proposal, he was called a madman, but now, he’s announcing the marriage after it’s done?
Salk rubbed his brow and turned away.
“I’ll return to my duties.”
“Alright.”
It’s tiring to understand. Just me.
Salk bravely decided to give up guessing his superior’s thoughts. A madman is not to be understood. It’s not an empty statement that the geniuses of the century were all mad.
Come to think of it…… All the historical figures who made a name for themselves were missing a screw somewhere.
Just look at the mess that Count Ermeintz is now…….
“My God.”
Salk sincerely worried for Riley Eardalin. Marrying that unpredictable madman?
Suddenly, he felt very sorry for the lady.
He had never felt this way about the women he had been involved with before, but this time it seemed more sincere.
Run away. Please.
Muttering words that would not reach the person concerned, Salk fled from his office.
(This is a time separator.)
Perhaps a moment that will never come again in life.
The likelihood of a street beggar becoming a sudden millionaire was lower than that of gaining wealth and honor in one swoop, and the chance to make it to the central class. It was a moment believed to be a time when everything dreamed of would be obtained in the blink of an eye.
But…….
“Why is it Riley of all people! Is our Claire not enough?”
Why is it Riley?
“I couldn’t even mention Claire! Because the intention to marry Riley was too strong…….”
“No, I heard she’s a weirdo, but now she’s completely gone mad? What’s there to see in Riley of all people…….”
Ryan brushed his gaunt face.
“I don’t know what to do.”
“……But shouldn’t we give permission for now? If a scandal spreads…… It will be hard for her to marry into another place. Then it will become difficult to deal with, right? The conditions proposed by the Duchy of Matop are quite exceptional…….”
“Do you think that woman Riley will leave us alone if she gains power?”
“……Surely, she’s still family after all.”
“You haven’t seen that woman’s eyes! That predatory look in her eyes. She looked like she wanted to devour us.”
“……But she’s been very quiet so far. She’s kind, and if we treat her well from now on, she might forgive us.”

It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
A talented fox spirit female lead with a flirtatious appearance but actually abstinent VS A cold-looking but actually naive and clingy little jealous male lead
