“Please, speak freely.”
“Will the Deputy Commander also be participating in this monster subjugation?”
“Yes. I will lead the Guardian Knights in participating in this monster subjugation.”
Rinart is leading the Guardian Knights in monster subjugation?
No, could the original work have been twisted this far?
“Then I’ll be on my way, Lady Winters.”
He was polite in attitude, but still referred to me as ‘Lady Winters’. Or else, he cleverly omitted it.
Rosebelia had pride in being the first female knight from a noble background. So the title ‘Lady Winters’ wasn’t wrong.
But was it so difficult to address her as ‘Sir’ first?
Indeed, it was wise not to expect anything from Rinart, a Guardian Knight, who was tightly bound by privilege.
As I blankly stared at Rinart’s retreating back, Lucas suddenly popped his face in front of me.
“Surprise.”
“Rosebelia, have you seen Edwin?”
“Edwin? Beside me …”
Huh? When did Edwin disappear?
Did he turn tail the moment Rinart came?
“He was with me until now, but I don’t know where he’s gone.”
If Edwin fell for Daisy at first sight, it wouldn’t be bad to show off to Rinart, but it seemed he didn’t think that far.
Edwin was a type in the original work to just look forward and charge ahead.
“Then the rumor must be true.”
“Rumor? What rumor?”
“Edwin is dueling in the arena. You see the rookies running towards the arena?”
Edwin is dueling in the arena?
Aren’t his legs not healed yet?
“With whom?”
Lucas seemed to recall someone, furrowing his brow deeply.
“That … among the newbies, the handsome one, what was his name?”
“Klein?”
“Yeah, Klein and Edwin are dueling. I heard but couldn’t quite believe it. Unofficial duels are common, but in the arena, it’s official. Anyone can watch …”
Edwin and Ian? The two of them are dueling in the arena? Why?
“Lucas, I’ll go ahead.”
I hurried towards the arena, but when I arrived, the duel was already over.
Pushing through the members pouring out of the arena, what I saw inside was Edwin lying in the center of the floor. I ran straight to him and asked.
“Hey, are you okay?”
“I’m not okay. Totally embarrassed.”
“I don’t care if you’re embarrassed. What about your injured leg? Is it okay?”
“Did you really get hurt?”
Ian, sheathing his sword and approaching, asked with a troubled face.
“You should have at least checked the opponent’s condition before dueling.”
“I didn’t say anything. I was curious about Klein’s skills and casually provoked him, and he just looked so cute coming at me.”
What is he talking about now?
“You really are …”
“I never said I was hurt, how would you know. Kline’s not at fault.”
“No, I did feel a peculiar dullness in your left leg, Senior. I should have stopped then, it’s my mistake.”
When Ian bowed his head in apology, Edwin seemed embarrassed and waved his hand.
“No need to go that far. It’s my fault too.”
“Yeah, you caused it after all. Get up quickly.”
“Why?”
“Don’t you have to go to the treatment room? Go steam or something.”
Edwin squinted at my worried voice.
“Of course, only Rose thinks of me.”
“Stop making disgusting sounds and get up. Lucas!”
I waved my hand towards Lucas, who had come into the arena late. Lucas quickly assessed the situation and assisted Edwin towards the treatment room.
“I told you not to overdo it before the subjugation, but you don’t even listen to me.”
“… Are you disappointed in me?”
As I observed Ian’s tense expression, I shook my head briefly.
“There’s no disappointment in this, but I find it strange. It was only a light match, if you felt something was wrong, you should have stopped. Why didn’t you?”
“I don’t know.”
“What?”
As I chuckled in surprise, Ian slowly opened his mouth.
“I wanted to win. That was all that mattered.”
“A sense of rivalry, is that it? Did you not get along with Edwin?”
“It’s not so much that…”
A confused look passed over Ian’s face. Facing that look, I felt like I was being sucked into a whirlpool of chaos.
You said you regained your focus last time, but could you not control your desire to win?
“Anyway, I’m not mad at you or anything. In the first place, Edwin hid his injury and accepted the match.”
“Why did you agree to fight me, Senior?”
“That’s… because you wanted to.”
“Is that really the reason?”
I wanted to avoid the original ending, and I thought it would be good to build a relationship with Ian.
Initially, that was certainly the reason, but…
During a moment of thought, I saw Ian bowing his head to me.
“…I will go ahead.”
“Ah.”
As a low exclamation flowed out, the sound of footsteps echoing on the arena floor stopped.
“There’s one more reason.”
Ian, who was about to leave, looked back at me.
“Fighting you feels refreshing. You know you’re good too. Even if Edwin hadn’t been hurt, your skill would have been superior.”
“So, you mean that within this Order of Knights, I’m the only one worthy to be your sparring partner?”
Considering opponents for a duel, I nodded my head.
I can’t duel with the commander, after all.
“So, in terms of dueling, I’m more necessary to you than Senior Edwin.”
“You could see it that way.”
Suddenly, a bright smile spread across Ian’s face. I hadn’t expected him to smile like that, and I was left gaping like someone who had lost their words.
“I see. Then, see you tomorrow.”
“Yes, rookie. Then…”
I couldn’t finish saying ‘See you tomorrow.’ Ian, who had been at a distance, quickly closed the gap.
“Why? Is there something left to say?”
At my question, Ian’s cheeks twitched. For some reason, his face looked extremely tense.
“I have something to ask.”
“What is it?”
His tension seemed to pass to me, and my mouth became parched.
“To you, I am…”
Just when I thought he was hesitating to say something, he, who had been looking elsewhere all the while, gazed into my eyes.
“How long will I be a rookie?”
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…?
