Moreover, the mere presence of someone else seeing the ground fairies was a great comfort. The feeling of awkwardly being alone in the world no longer lingered. That, above all, was a great gift from Stella.
“No, I must give something in return to put my mind at ease.”
After giving the prepared gift, Kai decided not to create any more entanglements with Stella. However,
“If you really want to give me something in return, can you teach me swordsmanship?”
Stella unexpectedly made another statement. Swordsmanship? Did that suit her as a princess? As Kai looked at her with surprise, Stella quickly added with agile gestures.
“I don’t mean every day. How about once or twice a week? No, once is enough. I’ll practice the rest on my own.”
“Can’t the princesses individually hire teachers?”
Kai was aware that the princesses secretly spent money to hire various people. Unless it posed a threat to him, he had no desire to interfere in the princesses’ personal hobbies.
“Well, yes.”
Stella also learned, through information obtained from Esmée, that if she wanted to learn something, she could hire a teacher with money.
However, the problem was that Stella didn’t have enough money to hire a teacher. The dresses and jewelry she brought from Amalun amounted to only about ten sets. The same applied to the jewelry.
To consistently participate in various events hosted by the Kredeon Imperial Family, multiple dresses were necessary. In her thoughts, she never wanted to attend such gatherings, but refusing invitations was also a privilege of those with some power. Of course, Stella had no choice.
Until now, she hadn’t attended many events, allowing her to wear different dresses each time. However, she didn’t know if she could continue doing so in future events.
Yet, she had no desire to earn money through farming to buy dresses or jewelry. Not only did she lack sufficient funds to buy dresses, but she also couldn’t afford to waste hard-earned money on something worthless.
For Stella, the top priority at the moment was finding out Rudina’s whereabouts. The situation of not knowing how much it would cost to investigate through the guild was uncertain. She planned to gather as much money as possible before approaching the guild.
Fortunately, farming seemed to be going better than expected, and she thought she could collect the money not too late.
Thinking about Rudina possibly going through hardships alone at this moment made her anxious. Rudina was more than just a maid to Stella.
“I don’t have enough money to hire a teacher.”
After various considerations, Stella honestly shared her situation with Lois.
Throughout the story, Lois had an expression of incomprehension. The idea that a princess of a country couldn’t hire a teacher because of a lack of money was unbelievable.
“Why don’t you send money from the Amalun Kingdom?”
Kai’s questioning gaze was quite stern. Stella was surprised by his prompt response, as she didn’t know if Lois was aware of her origin from Amalun. She had never mentioned it before.
“How did you know I’m from Amalun?”
Stella widened her eyes in surprise at the question. Kai, slightly taken aback by Stella’s unexpected reaction, quickly responded with a nonchalant expression.
“If you’re inside the imperial capital, it wouldn’t be strange not to know.”
Of course, it was not true. Kai, slightly tense, looked at Stella, wondering if she would find it odd, but fortunately, Stella readily nodded as if understanding.
“I see.”
Stella didn’t want Lois to know the fact that she felt abandoned in Amalun.
Even if Lois seemed much friendlier than before, Stella couldn’t reveal the secret of being a royal bastard. Awkwardly smiling, Stella turned her head.
“It happens. Anyway, I have no money, and Lois, since you wanted to repay me, there seems to be no more reasonable deal than this.”
Kai, who had been silently observing Princess Stella’s change of direction in the conversation, responded in a gruff voice.
“It seems like a deal where I’m at a greater loss.”
Stella flinched as if pricked by a needle at Kai’s response. However, she couldn’t back down like this.
“I’ll let you taste the crops I grow first, always. You can come and eat whenever you want, and you won’t go hungry.”
Stella seemed to misunderstand and firmly believed that Kai thought she was starving. However, she couldn’t reveal her true status.
“I eat well, sleep well, and live well. I don’t go hungry.”
“Sure, I believe you. But you must know that the crops from here are fundamentally different from those grown elsewhere. Do you remember eating carrots? Have you ever had such delicious carrots since you were born?”
Kai tightly sealed his lips. It was an absurd statement, but not entirely incorrect. However, he couldn’t afford to interrupt his busy schedule just to indulge in vegetables or self-appoint as Stella’s swordsmanship instructor.
“I am a busy person. I can’t offer that kind of help.”
“Really? Okay, got it. Sorry for making an unnecessary request. But since you’re here, take this. I brought it, thinking you might come.”
Lois’s response was so firm that further insistence seemed impossible.
Stella extended a basket specially prepared for Lois. Inside the basket were salads made with spinach harvested today, along with steaks baked with carrots and spinach.
“Oh, and this too.”
“What is it?”
What Stella offered Kai was a purple horn obtained from the hunting expedition.
“Purple horn. Pretty, isn’t it? It sparkles like a jewel when you see it in the daylight.”
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…?
