“What happened, Belucci?”
He was covered in blood from head to toe. The other two men didn’t seem surprised, only Cordelia was shocked, clutching her chest in fright.
“I found something more interesting than a rabbit.”
“What is it?”
“Just look. He’s still alive.”
Belucci turned and dragged something. Cordelia almost vomited.
What Belucci dragged was a human being, but completely mangled. It was clear why he was covered in so much blood.
Cordelia retched, holding onto a tree as the smell of blood was overpowering.
“Can he speak?”
That was all Baron seemed to care about. Belucci shrugged and emotionlessly kicked the mangled man.
“Cough!”
“He can speak, right? Didn’t touch his tongue.”
“Why him?”
Baron asked.
“I was hunting nearby when I saw this man writing something. Saw something familiar, couldn’t just pass by.”
Belucci handed over a small note. On the edge of the note was a faint image of a snake coiled around a lily.
“What’s this?”
Cordelia peered forward, asking. Baron kindly replied.
“This is the emblem used by Maximilian.”
“Ah, I see, it’s not just ‘ah, I see’, it’s Maximilian? That Maximilian?”
Her eyes widened in disbelief. To catch a subordinate of Maximilian near their campsite was an astonishing coincidence.
“Here’s something more interesting.”
Belucci grinned wickedly and lifted the fallen man’s arm. On his hand was a clear image of a wolf. Cordelia recognized this symbol for sure.
“Embly? Why is the Red Wolf here?”
“Hmm. Maximilian and Embly. Not a surprising combination.”
The Red Wolf Embly, like Basquez and Attilay, is one of the holy eight families.
The fact that a person from the Embly family had Maximilian’s note indicated a clear connection between the two.
“Considering how we got caught, this forest must be on the border of Embly territory.”
Baron assessed the situation.
“Master, what does it say on the note?”
Cordelia couldn’t understand the note as it was written in a cipher. It was similar yet different from the letter of Leonard she had delivered before.
Leonard’s expression hardened as he read the note.
“We need to change our destination.”
“What does it say?”
“Maximilian plans to permanently close down my lab.”
“Is that even possible?”
Baron exclaimed in shock. Leonard crumpled the paper and threw it into the fire, where it quickly turned to ash.
“That bastard is my only family, so legally it’s not impossible.”
“The amount of valuable stuff in that lab! Maximilian must be serious.”
“We need to go to the Rophel Mage Association.”
“But, neither I nor Belucci, and not even you in your current body, can enter it… Ah.”
Baron suddenly stopped speaking and stared at Cordelia.
She felt an immense, unsettling pressure from his gaze, similar to the look Leonard gave her before they departed for Dilona’s territory.
Leonard also intently stared at Cordelia.
“Why, why are you looking at me like that?”
“With her, there’s a legitimate heir. That should prevent permanent closure.”
“But that would reveal who Cordelia’s master is, are you sure about that?”
“Eventually, people will find out. It’s more important to prevent the closure.”
The two men discussed matters Cordelia couldn’t grasp. Baron looked at her and shook his head.
“The world of Rophel will be completely turned upside down.”
“What are you talking about? Can you explain, please?”
“I’ll recognize you as my disciple.”
“But I already am your disciple.”
“People don’t know that you’re my disciple.”
“Do we have to tell everyone?”
Cordelia was baffled. She only intended to learn a few spells and leave, so the idea of going to the Mage Association to reveal this fact was overwhelming.
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.
