A few days later, Jaena arranged a meeting with Kilian according to Anais’s wish.
Anais held Henry’s hand, sitting in the rose-blooming glass garden of the Imperial Prince’s Palace, waiting for the appointment.
“Miss, can you really meet him at that time?”
Laughter erupted at the sight of Henry sitting on a high chair, swinging his legs. Anais gently stroked her curly-haired younger brother.
The clear sound of Henry’s laughter filled the greenhouse.
At that moment, the sound of the door opening was heard.
Anais stood up from her seat. A man with red hair that reached his waist, tied with a black ribbon, entered. He forced a stiff smile.
“It’s an honor to meet you.”
He elegantly bowed. Anais greeted him with a slight tension.
“Nice to meet you, Kilian. Please come over and have a seat.”
Kilian sat in the remaining seat. His eyes sparkled as he looked around, resembling a child.
“I’m very glad you invited me. I thought I might never apologize to you two again.”
“Haha…”
Kilian swallowed his saliva. Due to his habit of rushing into magical matters without knowing who the other party was, he had found himself in a predicament more than once.
He scratched his head, knelt down, and locked eyes with Henry.
“Your Highness, I’m truly sorry. Were you very surprised that day?”
“Umm, it’s okay.”
Nodding hesitantly, Henry, contrary to his words, hid slightly behind Anais’s skirt. Seeing Henry still scared, Kilian felt a pang of conscience.
“I’m genuinely interested in the descendants of dragons. In fact, not long ago, that’s how I encountered Your Highness, the Crown Prince.”
“Ah…”
Henry’s body relaxed slightly. Kilian grinned and skillfully crafted a flower from his hand.
“As a gesture of apology, I present this to you.”
Henry blinked his eyes and carefully accepted the flower.
“Thank you, Master Matop.”
Relieved that the misunderstanding was cleared, Kilian sat at the table. Anais still harbored suspicions but didn’t show it.
“This is the most popular tea in the Empire. And this is a tart with famous grapefruits from the South.”
“Oh, grapefruit. I’ve never seen a fruit like this. It looks like this.”
Quickly wielding a knife and fork, Kilian skillfully cut the tart and put it into his mouth with a combative demeanor.
“Oh, it’s delicious.”
“I’m glad you like it.”
“The tangy and slightly bitter taste oddly complements each other. What’s this next to it?”
Amused by Kilian’s praising of the pastry, Anais finally burst into laughter.
Kilian’s remarkably light actions, completely unsuitable for the solemn occasion of a tea party, strangely matched the weighty atmosphere of Matopju. Smiling, Kilian faced both of them, even with Anais’s peculiar attitude.
The tea time that was expected to be uncomfortable turned out to be enjoyable.
Henry asked Kilian about the Academy of the Commonwealth.
“Your Highness, do you want to go to the academy?”
“Huh? No, I’m just curious about it.”
“It’s a great place. Everyone is passionate about their work, especially during the annual fair held by all academies, attracting visitors from across the continent.”
“A fair…”
Kilian chuckled and toyed with the ring embedded with a magic stone from his pocket. As he did, the shimmering light illustrated the beautiful sight of the city.
“Yes, a fair. It takes place in the capital of the Commonwealth, Barsha. During the fair, conferences are held for a week, and there are exhibitions and concerts as well.”
Following Kilian’s words, the magic light transformed into various shapes, drawing a picture.
Henry stared in awe at the magic.
Anais, with a somewhat regretful heart, watched him before checking the time.
“It’s already this late. We have a schedule.”
“Ah, I see. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to apologize like this today.”
Kilian bowed to them. Henry, who had been staring at him, clutched his black robe.
“Ca-can we see each other again next time?”
Kilian glanced at Anais, who hesitated for a moment before nodding.
“Of course, Your Highness. If you have any questions, feel free to find me anytime.”
With that, Kilian left the glass garden.
Anais sighed quietly and held Henry’s hand.
“Shall we go back now?”
“Oh, Miss. Look at this. It seems Kilian left it behind.”
In the place he left, there was an envelope. Henry quickly picked it up and checked the writing on the envelope.
“Oh, it’s written to be delivered to my brother?”
“Huh? Really? Why not deliver it in person…”
Anais chuckled, and at that moment, Jaina entered the greenhouse.
“Has His Highness already left?”
“Oh, yes.”
Henry moved his short legs and ran to Jaina. Suddenly, he thrust the document toward her.
“This! I think it’s meant for my brother.”
“Oh, thank you, Your Highness.”
Jaina smiled slightly and accepted the document.
After seeing off Anais and Henry, I headed to the office.
However, neither Nathaniel nor Martin was in the office or out on business.
Finally, returning to the study, I sat on the sofa and took out the document from the envelope.
“Hmm.”
On the first page, it was written, ‘The History of Dragons and the World.’
Thinking that the title was straightforward, I turned to the next page.
The content inside was not too difficult.
The origin of the world was light and darkness, and various variations were created from the light, leading to the creation of plants, animals, and humans.
“Evolution theory?”
In my previous life, it was a natural part of the regular curriculum.
“It might be a bit shocking in a world where gods exist.”
As I continued to read, some surprising content appeared.
[Dragons and demons are creatures created by darkness.] According to the book, their origins themselves are completely different.“Hmm, it seems like there’s not much content…”
“Jaina?”
I lifted my head at the familiar voice.
There stood Nathaniel with a bewildered expression.
“Are you reading that right now?”
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…?
