“It’s over.”
The next day.
Morgan raised both hands, looking at the end of the sword aimed at his neck.
“I lost.”
“My preliminary task results in elimination. Will you challenge again?”
Deon asked as he sheathed the sword.
Although Morgan thought Deon would be tied up with tasks for four months during the preliminaries, the results were unexpectedly clean. Morgan didn’t miss the chance and raised his head.
“No.”
Deon nodded slightly as if he understood.
In just one day, Deon had returned to his usual self.
“Liche, Professor Lodevic apologizes.”
“…Morgan, you don’t have to worry about my brother. Thanks for delivering the message.”
When Deon conveyed Morgan’s words at the lake yesterday, Liche still seemed angry.
Come to think of it, Deon hadn’t asked Morgan if he had delivered the message to Liche.
“Instructor, did you reconcile with Tuariche?”
“He said he would overlook it.”
“…?”
To Morgan’s casual question, Deon’s answer came back.
Morgan felt puzzled by the unexpected response.
If it were the Deon he knew, he wouldn’t be a person who willingly told others about his circumstances.
Was it possible that Morgan Dial had become as familiar as Ian Dwayne six years ago?
However, Morgan quickly dismissed that thought.
This was undoubtedly because Deon felt good about reconciling with Liche.
Deon’s actions were always unpredictable when they were related to Liche.
“It went well.”
“…….”
Deon closed his mouth again and nodded.
Morgan thought he was right. It seemed like Deon felt briefly good.
After the tasks were over, there was no need for them to see each other anymore. It was better to part ways quickly since private meetings were not allowed by the competition rules.
After bidding farewell to Deon, Morgan left the training ground.
Since two hours had passed since breakfast, there was still a considerable amount of time left in the day.
‘If I leave for the Rom Desert right away, I can return at night.’
If he moved diligently, Morgan thought he could finish the task today.
First, he needed to rent a carriage to carry thirty demon hearts.
Morgan headed towards the operations office inside the competition venue.
It was while he was walking.
“Morgan Dial! Catch that squirrel!”
A familiar voice urgently called Morgan from behind.
When Morgan stopped and turned around, Professor Declan was running towards him, pointing frantically in his direction.
‘A squirrel?’
Suddenly thinking, ‘What squirrel?’, a small figure ran quickly past Morgan’s peripheral vision.
“Catch it!”
Professor Declan shouted desperately. The figure seemed to be running hard, but at that speed, it was impossible.
‘What should I do?’
Morgan didn’t need to pay attention to Professor Declan’s words, but leaving such a trivial help as a favor might not be a bad idea.
Morgan quickly chased and caught the squirrel that had passed him.
“Squeak! (Let go! You idiot!)”
But the brown-furred, black-patterned appearance and the temperamental behavior were familiar.
It was the squirrel that accompanied Liche. To be precise,
‘Pythonus.’
Morgan looked at Pythonus.
It had something hidden in its mouth. When Morgan took it out, it was a ring with a black jewel. Wasn’t it the ring Liche picked up last time?
“Did you not see one ring?”
Come to think of it, Professor Declan was the one who lost the ring.
“Good job! Morgan! Don’t let it go until I get there!”
“Squeak! (Let go! This idiot!) Squeak! (It’s my piece of star!) Squeak! (He’s aiming for it!)”
The squirrel’s crying… it’s loud.
At a sound louder than a horn, Morgan squinted his eyes.
‘If it’s Pythonus, I should just let it go.’
When Morgan was about to return the ring to Pythonus and release his grip,
Kwoong!
A loud noise echoed from a place two blocks away from where Morgan was.
At the strange sound, Morgan looked up.
It was the sound of a chimney sweeper falling onto the roof. The sweeper either lost consciousness from the impact or began rolling on the roof.
“If left like that, he will fall to the ground.”
Morgan ran toward the roof. In the meantime, Pythonus wriggled out of Morgan’s hand with its own strength. Desperately fleeing, the ring got entangled in the leather strap attached to Morgan’s scabbard.
“This can’t be happening!”
There was no way to untangle the mess. Pythonus grumbled and weakly used its abilities toward the knot. It grabbed the broken leather strap and the ring and fled.
Meanwhile, Morgan, without noticing Pythonus’ actions, ran towards the roof, fixing his gaze on it.
“What, what should I do with that person!”
“He’s falling!”
The person who had already rolled to the edge of the roof was falling through the air.
‘Too late…!’
There wasn’t enough time to finish casting the protective spell that was currently in progress. The situation needed another 20 seconds. Running was faster.
Morgan gritted his teeth and increased his speed. Jumping off the wall, he reached the window sill on the second floor, trying to reach out to the falling worker, but missed him by a hair’s breadth.
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…?
