She sat on a large tree branch, observing the overall situation at Duke Keaton’s mansion.
Since there were magical barriers installed in the nobles’ mansions for emergencies, Luella thought that Duke Keaton’s mansion would be safe for now.
However, it seemed that the Duke Keaton’s mansion was not entirely safe, as there were ten zombies standing around the magical barrier.
Luella used her sharp mind to determine how to respond.
‘Earlier, those zombies reacted sensitively to smell and sound. I’ve already used a spell to erase my presence, so I just need to get over the mansion’s wall… huh?’
As she was quietly trying to enter using a flying spell, an unusual scene unfolded before Luella’s eyes.
Bang!
“Arrrgh!”
With the sound of a gunshot and a scream, a zombie fell backward.
Exactly in the middle of the forehead. There was a clean trace of a bullet passing through.
“……What?”
Luella unwittingly muttered. It was an instant word that came out, mixed with surprise and admiration.
Since she only erased her presence and hadn’t cast a noisecancellation spell because she was alone, the zombies pricked up their ears at Luella’s noise.
“Uuuh……?”
“Uuh, uuuuuaaah.”
“Graaaaaaa……”
The nine grotesquelooking zombies seemed curious about where the human noise had come from, and frantically looked around.
‘Damn it.’
Luella covered her mouth too late, but the zombies, having already picked up the sound of their prey, seemed determined to find Luella.
“Kiaaaaaaaak…….”
“Kyaaaak!”
Hungry or angry, the zombies began to move away from Duke Keaton’s mansion towards Luella.
‘……Is it because of the smell!’
Startled, Luella was about to throw herself into Duke Keaton’s mansion using a flying spell, but a quick zombie came right next to her.
“Kiaaaaaaaak!”
“!”
And Luella froze as though turned to stone the moment she saw that zombie.
Damn it, the zombie resembled Sienna.
Though stained with crimson blood, and battered into a mess… she could tell in an instant that it was a woman with bright, sunlike blonde hair.
Had she wanted to, she could have blown its head off with an attack spell, but her mind stopped.
‘……I can’t do it.’
She couldn’t harm this zombie that resembled Sienna.
What if it was actually Sienna? Even though it had become a hideous monster, even though its human life had effectively ended, Luella couldn’t bring herself to kill Sienna.
In some sense, Luella Critcheren still loved Sienna.
“Kiaaaaaaaak!”
The Siennalike zombie was about to bite into the unseen Luella when…
Bang!
“Screeeeeeek!”
Thud.
A refreshing gunshot sounded, and a bullet flew in and hit the head of the zombie that was about to pounce on Luella. This time, it hit right in the temple. The fallen zombie twitched for a moment and then stopped moving.
“Kiiiik?”
“Whaaaaaaa?”
“Uaaaaa!”
Killing another zombie from an unseen location, the remaining eight zombies backed away from Rus in fear, fumbling around. They floundered around trying to find where the gunshot had come from.
“Uh… what?”
Rus, relieved that she had survived, inadvertently lost strength in her legs and sat down.
However, as if not to leave her idle on the road, someone yelled at her in a booming voice.
“If there’s a living human in front of the Duke’s mansion right now, get up and come into the Duke’s mansion! This magical barrier only keeps out monsters like zombies! If you’re a human who’s not infected and healthy, hurry and jump over here!”
‘This voice…!’
It was a familiar voice. There was no way she could not recognize it.
It was the voice of the wicked woman who had been tormenting Siena, Elizabeth Keaton.
Since the zombies couldn’t hear her loud voice, they did not respond this time.
‘Now’s my chance.’
Rus regained her composure and used flying magic.
『Wind, take me over to the other side.』
Rus’s body floated lightly. With her body as light as a feather, she safely arrived inside the Duke Keaton’s mansion.
『Release.』
As she released all the magic she had cast for safety, Rus’s appearance was finally revealed in its entirety.
Rus ran to the central door of the mansion, knocked, and shouted.
“Is anyone inside! I am the wizard Rus Kritechurn from Chatteris’s Tower. I have come in response to Duke Elizabeth Keaton’s summons!”
Expecting a servant to answer, she was met by someone entirely unexpected.
“It’s good timing. I don’t know how you got here so quickly, but let’s go.”
Elizabeth Keaton, the current head of the Keaton Duke’s family, personally greeted Rus.
As soon as she saw Rus, she abruptly grabbed her hand and led her somewhere.
“What, why are you… Why the hand?”
“To kill zombies. You must have seen everything clearly at the Duke’s mansion front gate earlier, right? We need to get rid of those things so we can stretch our legs and sleep comfortably tonight, so please cooperate.”
Cooperation was naturally her purpose in coming, but Rus was taken aback by Elizabeth’s careless tone and the way she was dragged along.
The warmth conveyed from their joined hands was astonishing.
‘What, what is this…!’
Rus had no physical contact with anyone other than Siena. She’d react with disgust if anyone tried to touch her skin.
But… she felt a strange force from this rude woman, and she couldn’t say a word.
It was so strange that she couldn’t resist.
She could shake her off with just a little effort.
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…?
