‘If Loren is correct, then there’s no way the divine mark would be split between Lakrahan and me. It doesn’t make sense.’
Now that everything was misaligned, Bercheria’s choice could change the future and bring stability to humans.
But what if she gives up on Feriat and follows Loren to Deriansis?
The events that would unfold were as clear as if they were visible to the eye.
And how much suffering the people of this land would endure due to Emperor Gerard.
‘Is this a test?’
Bercheria looked with impassive eyes at the preparations for her own wedding.
She was lost in thought for quite some time when.
Clang!
A loud noise sounded, and a rough stone rolled and fell in front of Bercheria.
“……?”
Amidst the ongoing wedding preparations, she saw a child running through the crowd.
“Who is that?”
The face was unfamiliar.
Bercheria turned her body and picked up the stone the child had thrown.
Unfolding the white cloth tied to the round stone, she saw crooked handwriting.
[Emperor Gerard will arrive in the north soon. Come find Muha before that. Only then can you survive.]Reading those few lines, Bercheria tightly clenched the paper in her hand.
‘Not only does he know about Emperor Gerard, but also about Muha. How does he know about Muha?’
Bercheria looked towards the study where Lakrahan was working.
“The most likely possibility is a trap set by my mother.”
But what if…
‘What if it’s not? What if it’s someone else?’
Bercheria rubbed the rough edge of the note she held tightly in her hand.
Is the sender of this note my mother, or someone who knows of my mother?
Emperor Gerard and Muha. Who could freely go back and forth between these two unrelated existences?
Is that person really trying to help me, or do they want me dead?
Do they hope for me to survive by joining forces with Lakrahan, or do they want to lure me into a trap they’ve set by separating us?
Her head was spinning.
“……Ha.”
Feeling her eyes heat up, all of Bercheria’s movements came to a halt.
“……?”
Suddenly, a cacophony of noises flooded into her ears.
Startled, she raised her head to see a hellish battlefield unfolding before her.
Knights, covered in dust, screamed as they swung their swords here and there; barbarian horses splashed through puddles of blood as they charged.
Amidst it all was Lakrahan, his youthful face covered in armor.
His lips were cracked as he held his rusted sword at an angle.
As he swung his sword in the air, another life was lost before him.
From behind Lakrahan, who was watching the fallen barbarians, an arrow flew and lodged itself into his back.
Heaving ragged breaths, he swung his sword in a circle while airborne, grabbing it in reverse to cut off the lodged arrow.
Lakrahan pulled a sword out of a corpse lying on the ground and threw it in the direction from which the arrow had come.
Haah.
He exhaled a long breath, his face covered in blood.
Taking off his helmet, he threw it on the ground and wiped away the blood that streamed down from his head and moistened his eyes.
His eyes, visible between the red streaks of blood, were devoid of light and empty.
As he slowly surveyed the intense battlefield, his eyes met Bercheria’s who was present there.
The moment their empty eyes met, it felt as if her heart dropped.
And she understood.
Why she couldn’t take her eyes off Lakrahan since the moment they first met.
‘He’s similar.’
She instinctively knew that his dark eyes were hiding things similar to her own.
While enduring difficult times in a tower from which no one could ascend or descend, Bercheria also became empty.
Just like Lakrahan now.
But she had never given up on life.
She endured it somehow.
Because she wanted to survive.
Because she had to survive.
Just like Lakrahan now.
“Haah….”
The level of trust others placed in Bercheria and what Lakrahan had in her were different in magnitude.
When he told her that he would help her regain her strength, he must have had a different resolve than others.
Proposing marriage to Bercheria was also not an easy decision for him.
While Loren proposed marriage due to a divine command, Lakrahan decided to marry based on his own judgment.
In all those processes, what his feelings were—she knew it better than anyone else.
Because it would have been the same as her feelings.
“….”
As Bercheria slowly opened her eyes, the sounds of war vanished from her ears in an instant.
The noises of those preparing for a wedding ceremony rushed back in, along with someone’s laughter.
Bercheria tightly clenched a letter from an unfamiliar person that she had been holding in her hand.
The confusion that had just been on her face as she looked out the dark window was gone.
“I can put everything back in its place.”
Bercheria seemed to make up her mind as she turned away from the window.
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…?
