Coming home with a heavy money pouch is always a pleasant feeling.
But Lou barely paid attention to the weight of the money pouch, pondering over what the lord had said.
If one person says, “The barrier has been breached,” it may be nonsense, but if several people say the same thing, it’s undoubtedly true.
No, it was still hard to believe, but at least it was worth going and checking for oneself. Therefore, Lou had to go and see the northern barrier that was reportedly breached.
“The sudden appearance of Hayden as well…”
He showed up with the rumor that the barrier had been breached and squeezed his large body into Lou’s humble cabin, gaining more weight.
The Demon King, said to be as beautiful as an angel, was blonde but appeared with black hair, Hayden, the unstable imperial situation…
All these things mixed confusingly in Lou’s head, even overshadowing the heavy money pouch.
On a day like today, when everything adds up, Lou should bake cookies with lots of expensive butter and give a bag to each of the children.
“…First, I need to pack, what if I go to the empire…?”
Is it possible that one’s skill could decline?
But Rustica Gennes actually did decline in skill. For an honorable knight to suddenly lose strength and not perform properly was a great shock and disaster.
It was a disgrace and something that should not have happened, so she could not bear it herself. Being praised as a genius knight made it even more unbearable.
But what would happen if she returns to the Kaleta Empire?
“What if I meet someone I know?”
Lou dropped her gaze. Many people enjoyed the fall of the shining knight, consuming it as entertainment. Especially the fall of a ‘beautiful’ ‘female’ knight was an even more exciting amusement.
And the one who fell into the abyss was more afraid of others’ joy than the fall itself.
She still couldn’t overcome people’s stares, their laughter, the strangers who said they were glad that she, who was doing so well, had fallen into the abyss, remaining pathetic.
“So I ran away cowardly.”
Lou stepped into the edge of the forest where she lived, and suddenly stopped walking.
“Are you here?”
Hayden, who had been sitting behind a tree, raised his head. His face caught the sunlight filtering through the leaves, in a spot that would be hard to find unless you were specifically going to Lou’s cabin.
“Why are you here?”
“I waited.”
It sounded like the word “of course” was missing from his tone.
Lou closed her mouth, about to scold him for being out like this after breaking his ribs.
He probably healed a while ago. Then the arm that was loosely bandaged and splinted would have healed. The wound torn by the bear would have healed too.
Even the imperial knights didn’t have that kind of healing ability. But Lou didn’t ask who Hayden was.
“Don’t you have anything heavy?”
Hayden, lightly rising, asked. The forest began to darken from where he stood.
“Why?”
“To carry it.”
That’s not something a person who fought two bears should say.
“Carry what if you’re injured?”
Lou stepped onto the familiar path. The forest, thickly grown with trees for a long time, was dark enough to hide someone.
She had always been accustomed to these shadows and dark trees, but why did it feel like the shadows were deeper now?
To realize the reason, Lou was already a hasbeen with dulled senses. She muttered in a bitter voice.
“I sold the bear skin you caught and got the money.”
In fact, the weight of the gold purse felt the heaviest.
“It will be good money wherever you go.”
“You’re leaving? That’s a good idea.”
“No, why am I leaving.”
A cold wind rushed from the dark forest, enveloping her.
“You have to go.”
Hayden’s disheveled black hair danced in his gray eyes.
The gray eyes looking down at her through his softlooking hair were unreadable.
What in the world was this man who appeared suddenly, where did he come from, and what was his purpose? Could it be that he was sent by the Emperor, who had merely watched her fall? Was he sent to check how miserably she was living, begging? Was it related to the breach in the barrier? What in the world was going on?
Ah, she didn’t want to know. It was overwhelming to just manage her pathetic and incompetent body on her own, and she didn’t want to endure or suffer any more interference. The news that the barrier had collapsed was unsettling her so much.
“Riga.”
He slightly twisted his body as if to block the wind coming towards her. Solid muscles with a thick upper and lower body. His broad shoulders, no matter how you looked at them, were those of a warrior.
“Why are people so irresponsible?”
Riga touched his forehead and turned around. It was her fault for trying to speak seriously with him.
Already, Hayden was looking at her as if his solid, thick body had been badly hurt, although it was merely pale. His gray eyes seemed ready to spill tears at any moment.
“Just give it up since it doesn’t work.”
He looked intently at her.
“It doesn’t work?”
“Yeah.”
“That’s too much. Even when I look like this, it doesn’t work?”
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…?
