I was at a loss for words, and my mouth just moved. This person, upon closer inspection, was incredibly stubborn! He acted so softly, yet he didn’t bend his will to the very end!
‘But I won’t give up!’
I approached Grayan and stood close to him. Since I rarely approached him first, Grayan looked down at me in surprise.
Since the distance was close, I had to raise my head to look up at him because of the height difference. But I wasn’t intimidated. I spoke firmly.
“I’ll go with you, too. Because I want to.”
“….”
“I have the cheat of the butterflies of the World Tree… no, a useful ability, and it’s not in my nature to just stand by and do nothing.”
Grayan’s eyes looking at me became dull. I hammered in the final nail.
“So, I will reject your refusal. Now, let’s go!”
As I took the lead and walked, Grayan’s gaze prickled sharply at me.
It wasn’t a gaze of dissatisfaction. Rather, it was something else…
It was difficult to express exactly, but rather, it made me feel uncomfortable… that kind of gaze.
“Can’t I go with you…? I’ll be quiet by the Duchess’s side. Yes? Please….”
I had succeeded in persuading(?) Grayan, but an unexpected obstacle was waiting for me.
‘This rabbit again.’
The brave rabbit is great. But it’s too brave! It’s trying to jump into a pit of fire!
“No.”
I firmly rejected April’s request. …I felt a sense of déjà vu. Did Grayan feel this way when looking at me?
‘But I am an adult, and April is a child.’
This matter was something April absolutely should not be involved in. Naturally,
“The opponent is a kidnapper of beasthuman children. You could be a target too.”
I was the daughter of King Ainstern, albeit a disowned one. Even if I were in danger, I could wield this status as a weapon.
…I didn’t know who was behind the kidnapper of beasthuman children, but it was clear that they could not treat the princess of Ainstern lightly.
But April’s case was different.
A rare rabbit beasthuman in the world, and not the Duke of Salisbury’s biological child but an adopted one, would be seen as vulnerable.
In a word, she would be very easy prey for the kidnapper of beasthuman children.
“That is… I know that, but…”
Smart April understood quickly. But her face turned dark, and she hung her head low.
Ugh, I somehow felt sorry. But this time, it really wasn’t possible! The opponent was too dangerous!
I took a deep breath and calmly said, placing my hand on April’s shoulder.
“Don’t worry too much, April. Don’t be too anxious. I’ll be fine.”
Yes. The reason April insisted on going with me was nothing more than her concern for me.
April had a big trauma about losing someone close to her. Plus, seeing such a future through her precognition seemed to worry her more.
If she couldn’t see the future, she worried in that way.
‘Didn’t she say that she couldn’t see Grayan’s or my future this time…?’
Why can some futures be seen and others not?
It was indeed a mysterious thing.
After catching the kidnapper of the beast child, we’ll go out to play with Rodri. Now, promise.”
“…….”
As I bent my waist slightly and extended my little finger, April, who had hesitated for a moment, hooked her finger.
I smiled and shook hands with April lightly left and right.
April’s hands were small and pale even when she was a person…… Just like a rabbit’s front paw……
“I’ll return safely to your side. Let’s have dinner together when I come back.”
“……Yes.”
April, who seemed to cry a little, nodded. A large hand reached out over her small head. The owner of the hand was Grayan.
He gently stroked April’s head and spoke kindly.
“Madam, I will protect you no matter what happens, so don’t worry and be at ease.”
“…….”
Then April silently nodded her head. It was an expression like she had given up halfway.
Grayan stroked April’s limp head a few more times. He looked at April sadly, with a faint smile.
“And…… Sir Rodri.”
Grayan slowly took his hand off April’s head and casually called Rodri.
Rodri, who was standing a little away from us, quickly bowed when he was called. Then he answered with a tense voice.
“Yes, Your Grace.”
“As an escort knight, please take good care of April.”
“Yes……! I will protect the princess even if it costs my life!”
At Rodri’s enthusiastic answer, Grayan seemed to think, ‘There’s no need to be that serious….’
I thought the same thing. Rodri, you seem too tense…….
“Yes……. Trust Sir Rodri. Now, then…….”
Next, Grayan reached out to me. I smiled and took his hand.
Leaving April and Rodri, who were watching us, behind, Grayan and I got on the carriage.
Finally, it was time to start the real search.
The carriage moved leisurely without hurrying. After all, it seemed like Grayan and I had come out for a leisurely meeting.
So, it’s a kind of camouflage.
“The role of the madam is, as I told you before, ‘rear support.'”
Grayan explained the plan again, and I quietly listened and nodded.
“It’s too dangerous for the madam to go out front. Of course, I think the madam’s ability is great but…….”
“Don’t act alone, that’s what you mean? I remember.”
“Yes, it’s fine when you’re with me, but for now, I have to be the bait for the search alone…….”
As we discussed various things, we had arrived at our destination before we knew it.
Located in the city…… A dating spot for lovers!
“…….”
It’s famous as a place to come for a proposal or wedding anniversary…….
‘Yes, it makes sense to choose such a place since we’re out together…….’
Coming to such a place with Grayan, somehow the feeling is…….
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…?
