“It’s more credible that way. An ordinary human wouldn’t be able to access this system, even if they died and came back to life.”
“……”
It felt like we’d gone back to square one.
“So, Zero, are you saying that a non-human entity is creating zombies?”
“That’s why we’re having this issue. When I try to search for related information, errors appear and we’re stuck.”
“……Are there any non-human entities left in this world?”
“To be honest, not many. The only ones left would be the fairies hiding away. Most other species have been extinct since ancient times.”
“……Fairies are busy avoiding humans; they’re not the hunting type……”
“Yes. So we can exclude them.”
Then we didn’t have a single suspect.
‘It’s like searching for a needle in a desert.’
I felt helpless, with no way to proceed.
The pride I felt from eliminating the zombies for the second time plummeted.
“I don’t know… I’ll just finish my meal for now.”
“Sure. They say even Mt. Geumgang is best enjoyed after a meal.”
“Catching the perpetrator of the zombie situation isn’t a delightful task, though.”
I was upset, but crying wouldn’t motivate the unknown perpetrator to act, and the zombies might breach the waterway walls at any moment.
I called for a maid, grabbed a new fork, and slowly ate the remaining breakfast.
I thought it would be better to eat quickly and move quickly.
“Uh…… but first, I’ll have to contact the Worei family, who I most suspect.”
“Why?”
I recalled a thought that came to me when watching Sherry Damon and Jacqueline Celest communicate via their devices.
‘Let’s contact the Worei family!’
Both the Damon and Celest families had communication devices, and so did the Keaton family—up-to-date ones at that!
I didn’t know the dial number for Linstead’s castle, but I could find out through Zero.
“If I call and Kieran answers, then if he’s innocent, we’ll recruit him; otherwise, we’ll go execute him right away.”
It would have been difficult if Kieran Worei’s abilities hadn’t been sealed, but I had knights, mages, half-blooded fairy archers, and even the Duke of the North as swordsmen, so we could fight.
Zero finally finished eating a tomato while listening to my words.
“Do you really think that Kieran Worei will answer your call, given you’re the infamous Elizabeth?”
Ugh. Hit the nail on the head.
Unfortunately, the infamous Elizabeth was equally despised by heroes and villains alike.
Kieran Worei might just ignore any communication coming from the Keaton family.
‘……But there’s no harm in having hope.’
That damn hope……
Though I disliked making uncertain assumptions, I hated the idea of giving up based on mere speculation.
‘I need a clue.’
I had to catch the instigator of the zombie situation to achieve my goal of going home.
Even if the real Elizabeth had a strained relationship with him, I planned to scrape together whatever information I could, keeping a poker face.
“First, let’s finish breakfast and think.”
Seeming to notice my determination, Zero stopped stealing my food.
“You need to eat to have the energy to catch the perpetrator, don’t you?”
“…Shouldn’t I have become a detective instead of a saintess for a job like this?”
“No, you can’t change it now. Just be a saintess.”
“So arbitrary.”
She grumbled as she cleared her plate.
It was time to go out and undertake quests again.
As she walked out in a reasonably comfortable indoor dress, her party members were gathered in the reception room welcoming the guests. Collaborators were also present.
Mihai spotted her first.
“Have you arrived?”
Then, Ruth and Benedict also noticed her and greeted her.
“Ah, Duke. Did you sleep well last night?”
“You snored. It was noisy.”
Although she’d been told to maintain a dignified appearance, the truth that she had fallen asleep in a disgraceful manner was embarrassing.
“Benedict, I don’t snore. Thank you for asking, Ruth.”
As she took her seat on the sofa, the butler brought the communication device as instructed.
“Here it is, Duke. But who are you trying to contact?”
“Hmm, yes, there is such a place.”
Considering that the capital of the Caladia Empire had turned into a mess, and she was about to call a family plotting against the crown prince, she decided to skip the explanation.
Knowing the coordinates and communication number of Lord Linestead’s castle through Zero, she swiftly dialed.
‘Kieran Worei shouldn’t be harboring any bad thoughts…’
She thought as she made the call, but there was no answer.
Without even a dial tone, the only sound she heard was a voice.
[Dash] The number you are calling is not in service…“…What?”
Did Kieran Worei break the phone?
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…?
