“I can’t keep hiding my identity, but if you could keep it a secret for a while, I would appreciate it.”
“Yes, I’ll do that for you.”
“Oh, and… In case Enoc comes back…”
Ian’s gaze landed on me. Fabian, as if understanding what Ian wanted to convey, nodded his head up and down as if shaking it off.
“I will handle it well, Your Highness.”
“Well then, I will take my leave.”
Ian casually wrapped my shoulders as if to say goodbye and slowly walked out of the Vice Commander’s office.
“You didn’t have to go this far.”
“What are you talking about?”
When I pointed to the hand on my shoulder, Ian’s eyebrows twitched subtly. Turning around at the entrance of the Vice Commander’s office, Ian spoke with an indifferent voice.
“I didn’t want to see the Vice Commander begging Senpai so recklessly. And I want to apologize to Senpai.”
“Huh? To me?”
With a puzzled expression, I asked, and Ian, letting out a light sigh, responded.
“Because of me, you keep getting into trouble.”
“No, honestly, it was quite refreshing. It was cool…”
I stopped talking right there. It was because I felt a thick gaze on my face.
“What? What did you say?”
“…Let’s go quickly.”
“That wasn’t what you were going to say.”
“That’s correct.”
As we headed towards the training ground, Ian quickly followed behind me.
“How was I cool?”
Even though he heard everything.
I looked at Ian, suppressing the laughter that was about to burst out. Then, as if surrendering, he suddenly raised both arms, blocking my path.
“I’m genuinely curious.”
“Just because you were cool.”
At my quietly muttered words, Ian burst into a low laugh.
“But why do you keep running away?”
“I’m not running away. I’m going to the training ground.”
“Then, let’s go together.”
Ian, who had approached without me realizing it, suddenly grabbed my hand gently. Feeling his fingertips holding my hand, I looked around.
“If someone sees…”
“No one is here right now.”
Ian, tilting his head towards me, whispered softly as if conveying a significant secret. In response to that secretive voice, I looked at him, feeling awkward.
Then, as if waiting for it, he met my gaze and smiled broadly. In front of that smile, only laughter flowed out.
“Your Majesty, I heard you were looking for me.”
“Thank you for coming, Dylan. Please, make yourself comfortable.”
When Evelyn pointed to the opposite sofa, Dylan, slightly stiff, took a seat. Soon, following Evelyn’s glance as she turned around, the maids in the secretariat discreetly vacated their seats.
“Are you really going to use this medicine right away?”
“Yes, is the usage the same as before?”
“Yes, you just need to dissolve one powder pellet in tea or water. You don’t need to drink it several times; once is enough.”
“That’s simple.”
“Did you make such medicine with great effort, Your Majesty and Your Highness?”
“Yes, Olivia tried to use it immediately, but in the end, I ended up using it first.”
During the morning council meeting today, Calisto declared that Ian would be the Crown Prince. At this rate, the appointment ceremony with the royal seal was only a matter of time.
The position of Crown Prince originally belonged to Enoch. No impurity should stain that position, even temporarily.
“…It won’t take as long as before.”
“What are you talking about?”
“When you drink the water with this medicine dissolved in it, you will suffer for a while and lose your life within a short time, from one day to at most a week.”
Evelyn raised the corner of her mouth as if satisfied.
“Even if you die after taking this medicine, no poison will be detected in your body, right?”
“When we tested it on prisoners, it was the case… But with a limited sample size, I can’t guarantee. That’s why I mentioned that it would take a little more time.”
“Such risks must be endured. Soon, you’ll be the Crown Prince.”
“What? Where do you intend to use this medicine?”
Dylan asked, widening his eyes in surprise.
“You’re slow to catch up with the news, Dylan. Anyway, this medicine will come in handy, so go and take a look.”
“…Then, I will take my leave.”
Evelyn looked down at the pouch she received from Dylan as she spoke. The mention of the limited sample size was a bit bothersome.
Hmm, at that moment when she was looking around with a contemplating expression, a maid with a petite face entered with a knock.
‘Wasn’t she the one who recently joined us? From the Fontaine family, a female…’
“Your Majesty, would you like some tea?”
Evelyn responded with a bright smile as usual.
“Yes, warm tea would be nice.”
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…?
