“Rather than stealing consciousness, it would be more effective. To do it once, he should have brought him to me.”
But using the summoning circle and demons, he could control it from afar like limbs.
“Haha… Hahaha!”
Hasdeya laughed loudly. Following the loud laughter, the protective barrier, drawn from the wall to the ceiling, trembled.
When the eerie and creepy laughter, as if the ground was splitting, stopped, Hasdeya’s eyes lit up.
He was in such a good mood right now that he couldn’t control himself.
“Alright. Shall we continue while we’re at it?”
Hasdeya snapped his fingers. Then, the corner of the barrier sparkled, and that part split.
As it turned out, there was a door.
Opening the door, Malik’s knights in ordinary priestly robes entered.
“O Father of those who seek knowledge. Your call has been heard, and your children have arrived.”
Hasdeya looked at them and drew something in the air by waving his finger.
“Until the sun rises, let’s play one more time.”
It was the moment when Rescal mentioned the smell of hidden demons in the Duke’s study.
“……!”
Suddenly, Rescal turned his head sharply towards the window.
“What’s happening, Your Majesty?”
Serven urgently asked and rushed towards the window. In the distance, it could be seen that the Imperial Guard was gathering near the main gate.
“Someone seems to have come…?”
“It’s not someone who came.”
Rescal’s gaze became as sharp as a sword.
“It’s an intrusion.”
“Squeak! Squeak!”
Pipi, who had been dozing off on La Silia’s shoulder, suddenly lifted its head and flapped its wings vigorously.
“Ouch!”
Serven, who was looking out the window, exclaimed. You could clearly see something grim spreading like fireworks from the direction of the main gate.
“It’s demons, Your Majesty!”
Serven hadn’t personally experienced demons. But according to Ryan’s words, they were creatures that couldn’t be killed with a sword.
The Imperial Guard knights probably didn’t know that fact yet.
Serven, who became more desperate, was about to draw his sword and jump out of the window.
“Stop.”
Rescal stopped him.
“Yes, Your Majesty?”
Before the answer, Rescal’s eyes briefly turned to La Silia. The long and silent message of duty was all captured in the momentary glance.
He knew it too.
That human strength couldn’t annihilate demons.
Right now, La Silia had to temporarily leave La Silia’s side.
“Stay here. Protect the Empress. Along with the young bird.”
“Squeak!”
Pipi shouted that it could deal with demons too.
“If you’re not stupid, remember what happened last night. Don’t forget that one of us has to be together.”
“Squeak!”
“If you feel unfair, grow up quickly.”
Rescal approached the window, stepped on the window frame, and without hesitation, jumped out.
“Oops!”
La Silia chased after Rescal. However, Serven’s words were a priority.
“The window is dangerous, Your Majesty!”
Tak!
Serven decisively closed the window and lowered the curtain.
“You don’t have to worry, Your Majesty. You didn’t get hurt because you didn’t jump from this height.”
“…You could have just told me.”
La Silia, whose surprised feelings were belatedly soothed, muttered quietly.
“Why did you leave without saying anything… just going away as you please.”
She didn’t know. That his disappearance without a word would make her feel like this.
She hadn’t expected that the sudden leap out of the window and watching it would make her chest drop like this.
She hadn’t expected that the moment would come when she felt her heart would burst with worry.
“Maybe you couldn’t speak. Because it was something urgent… No, because your heart wasn’t at ease.”
“What does that mean?”
Breathing in, La Silia turned to look at Serven. Serven, with a more tense face than usual, was sharpening his sword with his right hand on the blade, on guard.
“Whatever he said, he probably couldn’t ease his mind. So, he must have moved his body first. Your Majesty is not originally a talkative person… It seems my speaking skills aren’t enough to explain everything, but for a knight, there are moments when the body knows first.”
“Even if you tell me not to worry, it doesn’t change anything, so I tried to resolve it quickly… Is that the meaning?”
“If you understand it that way, it should be fine.”
La Silia furrowed her brow.
“Even so, it hurts the heart.”
“Um, is that so…?”
Even in the midst of guarding the surroundings, Serven struggled with how to comfort La Silia.
But La Silia didn’t need comfort.
“Even so, not giving me time to worry is a frustrating thing.”
“Ah… … … What?”
“Squeak!”
While petting Pipi, who had lifted its head, La Silia whispered softly.
“I didn’t know I was such a worrisome person.”
“Squeak!”
At that moment, Serven and Pipi might not have known they were thinking the same thing.
That worry could be such a tender thing.
“…Crazy!”
Just as Rescal sensed the presence of demons, so did Ryan.
Before Teon could explain the whole story about the self-destruct mechanism, Ryan quickly poured out words.
“Oh, that wasn’t what I told you, Your Excellency! I’m sorry, but I’ll go check first!”
Whoosh!
Ryan, who pulled Ora up, rushed away at an unreasonable speed.
“Heeek! That… No, it definitely wasn’t. Then, could it be… Is a Sword Master born in the Empire?”
Even as Teon spoke those words in disbelief, Esellion had a stiff face, biting his lips.
“Unfortunately, that’s true.”
“It’s really unfortunate. I thought you were the closest person to a Sword Master, Your Excellency… Ah, this is not the time for that, Your Excellency! Three strangers have appeared at the main gate! There’s concern that it might not be a human using a summoning circle!”
Keyiuk!
Kyak!
Listening to Teon’s words, the faint wailing sound of demons mixed with the wind could be heard. Teon’s complexion changed.
“Your Excellency, quickly…!”
“No.”
However, Esellion showed a very unfamiliar reaction to the reappearance of demons aiming for Empress La Silia.
He spoke with an unusually calm face.
“Incorporate Yenion. We will save Empress La Silia in a different way.”
“If it’s a different way…”
Teon swallowed his dry saliva.
For some reason, he felt that the obvious method of annihilating the demons was not the right way.
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…?
