“I’m… fine. Don’t worry about me. I’ve been easily weakened when this season comes, so don’t worry. I’ll get better if I rest a bit. So, please leave me alone.”
“Ah… understood.”
In response to the gentle refusal, Lena eventually stepped back.
Alone in the room, Siena, who covered herself with a blanket on the warm bed, closed her eyes as if to sleep.
As her body completely relaxed into a state of relaxation, a familiar voice echoed in her mind.
Siena.
‘Father.’
Upon hearing Kieran’s voice, Siena opened her eyes again. The green eyes, once known as the summer emerald, blinked, now turned bright red as if burning in flames.
A complex and intricate magical circle drawn by Kieran was inscribed on those eyes. Through this, Kieran and Siena could connect their consciousnesses like Zero and Elizabeth, allowing them to communicate.
Siena was genuinely pleased to hear Kieran’s contact.
“It is an honor to hear Father’s noble voice again.”
Enough with that cheap flattery. Report on the current situation.
Kieran didn’t reveal any interest in Siena. Only valuable information was what Kieran desired.
It might be a harsh demeanor that could be saddening, but Siena, who had become unable to feel soft, squishy emotions without a beating heart, nodded her head.
Because the words of ‘Father’ were absolutely correct.
‘We found the Saint chosen by the gods. Originally, she disguised herself as the contract holder of this mansion, Elizabeth Kitten. However, it was actually to protect the real 2nd Prince Aston.’
So what?
‘She acted either to demonstrate the responsibilities and authority as the Saint and the sole heir to the throne, or to send the Duchess Elizabeth Kitten as a commander to subdue the area adjacent to the 4th and 5th zones.’
The northern gate of Hwangdo is nearby. They must be aiming for that.
‘Yes, that’s what I heard. Duchess Elizabeth Kitten showed great confidence in fighting zombies. Seeing the smell of zombie blood from the twin pistols at her waist, it seemed she wasn’t bluffing.’
What is the total number of the expeditionary force? Who was taken as its members?
Siena chuckled at this point.
It was a sneer.
‘Pathetic. Even if they are useful members in terms of force, there are only a spirit caster, a wizard, and a holy knight. The rest are closer to ordinary people who haven’t received proper military training. Even if they have crossbows and magic bombs, it’s doubtful if they can use them properly.’
So that’s the case… Hmm.
A moment of silence followed. Siena thought that her owner, ‘Father,’ must be scheming something, so she stayed quietly like a dead mouse.
Breaking the silence, Kieran spoke.
Elizabeth Kitten mentioned that she is involved in this.
‘Yes. That little rat… No, claiming to be a god.’
Strange things are happening. The one chosen as the Saint is 2nd Prince Aston, but he has been sticking with the fake Duchess, who has been disguised all this time.
‘Does Duchess Elizabeth Kitten… bother you a lot?’
Siena found Kieran’s sensitive reaction to Elizabeth strange. Judging it calmly, she considered Elizabeth Kitten not to be a significant threat.
Using a pistol loaded with magically crafted mana bullets, she’s nothing more than an incompetent woman. Siena, unaware that Elizabeth is steadily building strength through skills, sees her as weak. The grand mansion, the Kitten Duchy, offered for the survivors to stay, isn’t a significant advantage in a situation where the entire country has turned into chaos, as having wealth doesn’t stand out as a major benefit.
‘One of the humans who will miserably die if the magic stones operating the barrier run out.’
However, seeing her continue to lead and unite people without losing hope was strangely unpleasant for Siena. Whether it was due to her identity as a zombie or if it was because the sealed memories of Siena considered her unpleasant, it was unclear.
With a cold tone, Kieran spoke to the complex-thinking Siena.
Of course, she’s irritating. Hasn’t that woman led people and reclaimed some zones? At this rate, it seems like those bastards will take control of the northern entrance.
‘Aren’t the zombies guarding it? But how…?’
The wizard, Luce, has an exceptional mind, creativity, and skill, capable of creating new artifacts. If it’s him, he might develop a breakthrough you haven’t seen yet. For example, a defensive shield usable while moving.
If you use something like that, the purpose of this expedition won’t be hunting zombies and coming back, but rather taking measures to make the targeted northern gate usable by humans. If that happens, Kieran’s plan to eventually break through all the gates of Hwangdo and release the zombies outside will be thwarted.
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…?
