If that’s the case, it’s understandable that the attitude of a Black Dragon humanoid who has lived for a thousand years would change dramatically at Greian’s word.
For example, if a niece says, ‘If you continue like this, I won’t see you, uncle’ – he would inevitably be at a loss.
“Or maybe he’s just being kind because he feels sorry for suspecting me all this time.”
Well, he’s still a playful person.
“But… what were you reading?”
By the way, the rabbit has been reading something diligently.
Curious, I put the rabbit down and looked at the cover of the book.
“Hmm, this… It’s too thin to be a book?”
Upon closer inspection… it wasn’t a book, but a magazine.
Moreover, it was a magazine that covered political and economic issues.
“Well, what is a 12-year-old reading this for…? Is it part of a gifted education? Is that what it is?”
I chuckled and opened the magazine.
There wasn’t much interesting content… but there was one headline that caught my attention.
‘Elowin Kingdom’s railway project, shaky for six months… Will the dream of connecting the entire kingdom conveniently and quickly be in vain?’
Railway, is it for trains using steam engines? Or…
I carefully examined related content.
‘…The problem is that too many magical stones are needed to move the train. Since the price of magical stones has been soaring recently, even if the railway construction is successfully completed, inevitably, we have no choice but to set a high price…’
At that moment, a light bulb seemed to light up in my head.
‘If done well, the railway project could be a jackpot…’
I hastily summoned the butterflies and had them search for information about ‘magical stones’ in the original work.
Of course, where April couldn’t see. Since April could hear the voices of the butterflies after contracting with the Great Spirit, I had to be careful.
Soon, the excited voices of the butterflies reached me.
{Ah, I found it!}
{Here it is.}
{Did you see this too?}
‘Hurry, let’s display it quickly!’
Although some butterflies mumbled incomprehensible words, I pushed them aside and quickly checked the original work.
The location of a large-scale magical stone mine that would be discovered about five years from now.
{…The mine was discovered in the Solzbury Duchy, Kananbon, but eventually, it became the property of the Elowin royal family. The unselfish Greian Solzbury willingly gave in for the kingdom’s railway project. It could be considered a patriotic act, but from another perspective…}
‘Oh, stupid Greian Solzbury! Why did you give in to that!!’
I shouted an internal scream while tearing my hair out. There’s a limit to being good! What kind of mine is that! It’s a colossal mine that will bring innovation to magical engineering in the future!
‘I must secure this mine. I’ll be the first to discover it. Absolutely.’
Of course, there were things to do before that!
‘I should take over the railway project first.’
To acquire it at a low cost, now that the royal family has let go of the project, is the perfect timing.
‘Even if the royal family covets the mine later, if I promote the railway project, it will serve as defense… Alright, let’s go!’
I quickly put the plan into action without any hesitation.
Order the butterflies to find the location of the mine.
Send a letter to meet the Elowin King.
Consult with Greian… Should I do this before number 2?
Whatever, I don’t know. First, I wrote a letter to the king.
‘…Honorable King, the reason I am sending this letter is…’
“The camera?”
“Yes, the camera.”
In addition, I asked Arwin to make a camera.
“Hmm…”
His reaction was somewhat vague, but when I explained the specific business plan and my ambition (to empty the wallets of Ainstern Kingdom residents), his eyes sparkled.
“It seems like a quite reasonable plan…?”
“Right? Honestly, there may not be much demand in Elowin, but it’s different in Ainstern!”
Ainstern Kingdom residents are undoubtedly fascinated by the ‘camera’ as they are crazy about capitalist overconsumption.
A device that can capture beautiful moments quickly and easily without hiring a painter or investing time—how materialistic can this be!
‘If we add a giant magical stone mine and a railway project here… Soon, I’ll be sitting on a money cushion. Hahaha.’
Throughout the day, a capitalist smile lingered on my lips.
Even when I had a close discussion with Greian at night, it was the same.
“Hmm… I see. I won’t oppose whatever the lady does as it’s her freedom, but you seem very happy.”
“Hehehe. Do I look like it? Actually, yes. I’m confident it will be a huge success. Hahaha…”
Being too excited, I burst into strange laughter several times.
Holding my excited hands, Greian subtly spoke.
“Well then, would you do me a favor?”
And so, the request he made was… skipped.
‘There’s a subtly charming side to him. Very alluring.’
Even though Greian seems to have an image of being honest and upright, he becomes quite charming at night. Thanks to that, I overslept today too…
“Oh dear…”
Rubbing my aching back, I went to the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror…
Sure enough, dark petal-like marks were spread all over my body.
“This is crazy.”
While inwardly cursing Greian Solzberry, who seems to treat me like candy every day, I washed up and changed clothes.
Wearing a long-necked dress was uncomfortable, but I can’t blame Greian… Anyway, should I have breakfast with the rabbit and April? Heading towards April’s room—
{Gloria!}
{Exciting! We found it!}
Suddenly, butterflies appeared by my side, fluttering and flying around.
They found it, could it be…?
My heart pounded. Waiting for what would follow,
{…?}
The butterflies paused and scrutinized me before saying…
{You spent another passionate night!}
‘No!’
{No way~! We can all tell~!}
{When’s the baby due?}
‘No…! I mean, no! I didn’t go that far!’
After about five minutes of a frenzied show, I could finally get to the main point.
{Alright, it’s right here. The hiding place of the Azure Dragon Beastkin you asked for.}
Butterflies presented a blurry map in the air.
On it, a bright red dot was shining.
Protagonist Candidate 3.
Finally, we found that Azure Dragon Beastkin.
…But how old is that guy again?
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
