There was so much to do. Riga was robbed of a huge chunk of his day by the Emperor’s ridiculous tea time invitation, and had no leisure to do anything else but write reports late into the night.
In fact, today he had intended to pick out a properly made nobleman’s annual and find out who the ‘nobleman with Gennes’ that the Emperor had mentioned was.
Over the course of hundreds of years, there had been too many cases where Calleta Empire knights fighting near the barrier, or civilians, were led by monsters across the barrier. So perhaps it was her distant relative, or perhaps…
‘It could be my parents.’
Although he didn’t want to pin vain hopes, it could have been his parents who went missing 11 years ago. If there was a glimmer of hope, he wanted to cling to it. He wanted to search the nobleman’s annual so much, but that Emperor of Fersecta, that damn bastard.
“Haah…….”
A sigh rolled over the report. The more he met with Emperor Fersecta, the more the report grew in length.
At the same time, he had to appropriately leave out the content he wanted to hide from the Calleta Emperor who would read this report, so his head hurt.
‘I’m tired.’
Life, where nobody could be trusted, was this exhausting. Looking at Martin, he thought, ‘When will he put poison in my food?’ and looking at Officer Eliza Barcova, he thought, ‘Will that person stab me in my sleep tonight?’
Even with Aldwin Rochester, whenever he saw him, he first thought, ‘When will he stab me in the back?’ So, the office was a bed of thorns.
And in the midst of all that, Emperor Fersecta showed that he was a monster that looked even more terrifying than a monster. Just thinking about that time made his entire body tingle.
‘It’s been a long time since I’ve seen something like that. It was just like before.’
Just like when he instinctively knew that monsters were near, the tingling sensation and the feeling that his body was sending him warnings continued even now.
…Even now?
Riga raised his head. The fountain pen set on the desk was shaking.
That was undoubtedly the one that Calleta Emperor Carlos Arthur Ingram had bestowed and brought, so why was it shaking? The desk and chair were fine, but only the splendid fountain pen set was shaking.
And from the end of that set, the faint green smoke began to become clearer and grow larger.
“…Your Majesty?”
She jumped up from her seat. Unexpectedly revealing himself from the smoke was the Emperor of the Calleta Empire, and her superior, Carlos Arthur Ingram.
As he turned his body, he faced Riga. In the dark room, under the dim light, his emerald eyes shone deeply.
“Duke Gennes.”
Riga quickly closed the curtains tightly. It would be big trouble if anyone saw. The Calleta Emperor appearing in the Calleta embassy.
The black pillars lined up at regular intervals on Shalea Street turned out to be streetlights that glowed at night. They light up the street with gas. Thanks to that, anyone could roam the streets, so she had to be more careful.
“Your Majesty.”
As she quickly closed the curtain, Carlos chuckled.
“Were you writing a report?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Only after completely closing the curtain did she bow her waist slightly. The Calleta Emperor was the Empire’s greatest wizard. It was not surprising that he suddenly appeared here.
“How do you feel after spending a few days here?”
Carlos asked casually, looking around and then sitting on the plush sofa in front of the fireplace.
“I’m still disoriented.”
Riga spoke, coming closer to him at a decent distance.
“Would you like some tea?”
“No, I’m not really here. It’s a kind of illusion.”
“Oh.”
Not being able to distinguish even that, Riga nodded her head a little late. If she was still a competent wizard dealing with magic, she would have noticed it right away.
Again, Riga let a pitiful sense of helplessness briefly brush past her.
“I was curious to see how Duke Gennes was adapting, and you’re just disoriented?”
Pushing her with his foot and saying that he was curious to see when she would die, Carlos was shameless.
Emperors must all have thick faces to be able to perform their roles well.
“I am gradually getting the hang of it. It’s quite different from Kaletta, and with the frequent hail of stones, it puts a lot of constraints on my actions.”
Carlos didn’t hide his amused expression as he crossed his long legs.
“It’s a place filled with worthless people.”
His tone seemed to know Fersecta well.
“I’m sorry, but I haven’t found out much. Other than it being a country that doesn’t use magic and….”
Rustica Gennes hesitated a bit before speaking honestly.
“Other than the Emperor of Fersecta being somewhat abnormal, there’s nothing else.”
“Abnormal, you say?”
Emerald eyes sparkled cheerfully, reflecting the fireplace’s light. There was a time when she liked that look in his eyes. She thought it was unemperorlike, casual, and pure.
‘Bullshit.’
Casual and pure, indeed. That look was nothing more than a cynical curiosity, looking down and finding the wriggling of insects amusing.
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…?
