“Suddenly changing direction to another place, wondering how extraordinary a prey could be, I came.”
Edwin smiled at Delina.
“We were hunting the jester.”
“…….”
“But why is your expression like that?”
It was fortunate for Edwin not to witness Damian’s situation. Belian, who still seemed to be unable to calm down, continued to glare in the direction where Damian had disappeared.
“Just now, Prince Rune was here.”
Edwin, who quickly understood the situation from Felic’s brief explanation, couldn’t resist teasing.
“Oh, so he’s making passionate advances. At this rate, is the jester really going to the Rune Empire?”
Then, Belian cut off Edwin’s words sharply.
“Leave him alone. The jester likes handsome men.”
At Belian’s words, Delina let out a silent scream. All eyes were on Delina, and Edwin raised the corners of his mouth as if he found it amusing.
“Is that so? Prince Rune is quite decent objectively, but it seems he doesn’t meet the jester’s standards.”
“What’s handsome about him.”
“Why, it’s not bad if you stop there.”
While Edwin and Belian were conversing, Noah, who had been listening to their conversation nearby, subtly raised the corners of his mouth. Delina’s eyes, seeing him, shook mercilessly.
‘No way, right?’
“The jester said my face is more handsome than yours.”
“Who.”
“The jester.”
In disbelief, Belian looked at Delina. But as someone who had already said what she had to say, Delina maintained silence and subtly avoided Belian’s gaze.
“Oh, was that so?”
“Yes. The jester said he prefers a gentle face over a stern one. It’s just his taste.”
“Well, the other side is too cold.”
Edwin, who had a face similar to Noah’s, laughed lightly. On the contrary, the face of Calix, who looked like Belian, was overshadowed.
“The jester really had proper standards.”
“Well… um…”
“But still, you’ve been doing well in the Ducal House. How did you endure living by looking at cold faces all this time? It must have been scary.”
When Edwin spoke, and Belian and Calix, who looked shocked again, Delina strongly denied.
“That’s not true. It’s just that a gentle face is a slightly, very slightly, more preferable taste. It doesn’t mean that your face is cold or scary, Your Highness.”
“Yeah, yeah. Then it means he just has less handsome faces than us.”
The atmosphere of Belian and Calix, who had suddenly become less handsome, was truly dark. It happened to be Delina, who was again between Belian and Calix, who looked like Noah. She touched her forehead firmly.
‘…Where is a wild boar when you need one?’
“I wished a ferocious beast would come and rampage through this place. It seemed better to go hunting instead, so I looked around, but not even a small bird was in sight. Delina quietly swallowed her tears.
As the hunting event began, those who did not participate in the hunt spent their time in the lodge. Some took a stroll around the surrounding forest, while others chatted about who they gave handkerchiefs to.
“What should I do, what should I do…?”
However, in contrast to their lively atmosphere, there was a man crouching in the lodge with a gloomy expression. His name was Mernin. He had disappeared like he was chased away by Noah during the adult ceremony at the palace.
At that time, he was splendidly dressed, adorned with jewels all over his body, but he was completely different now. His hair was messy, his body was hunched, and there was even a bottle of alcohol next to him. While pouring alcohol and lifting a glass, Mernin’s hands were shaking.
“I didn’t take all the money from there… If Father finds out about this…”
Since the adult ceremony, Mernin was determined to start a business no matter what.
However, the method was not good. Desperate to secure money, he secretly brought the family’s jewels and accessories and poured them into gambling. As he continued to lose money, he even resorted to doing things he shouldn’t have done.
“If it’s revealed that I used the family crest as collateral… I’ll really be chased away… What should I do now?”
There was no one to ask for help. Since the incident at the adult ceremony, it felt like the surrounding vampires and nobles were avoiding him one by one.
Moreover, at the Rose Lip Marquis’s gathering, no one approached him first for a conversation. Today, during the hunting event, he avoided being anywhere near him as if he wouldn’t come close at all.
“When will they come to me smiling and saying I’m good…! Disgusting people!”
When Mernin put down the glass forcefully, the bottle next to him rattled and fell noisily. Still, Mernin didn’t calm down. He boldly continued despite the bottle falling. However, Mernin overlooked one fact. It was his condition.
Mernin had been plagued by worry and dependence on gambling and alcohol for quite some time. Even during the hunting event, he openly emitted the smell of alcohol, wandering around with a dark face, so it was natural for people to avoid him. However, Mernin, shaking with anger, was oblivious to this fact.
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…?
