“What brings you here?”
“I owe a debt of gratitude to Miss Carina.”
In fact, she wanted to owe her from now on.
“I wanted to repay the favor, but I heard that the Miss has lost her parents and is entrusted to the Earl of Harrington.”
“I see.”
The butler nodded his head.
“Can I see the Miss?”
“That would be difficult.”
Lona’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Why? I’m sure the Miss would be glad to see me.”
Internally, she wondered if she had violated any manners in any way. She had not made any unreasonable requests or violated etiquette.
“Miss Carina is not in the Earl’s house now.”
“What? Then where is she?”
A moment of pride washed over the butler’s face.
“She is in the palace.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]The evening sunset cast a particularly lonely atmosphere over the palace garden.
The white statue wearing a golden crown and holding a spear in its hand turned red as the sunset flowed. The surrounding fountain’s water droplets and the garden full of spring flowers created a charming atmosphere.
The woman standing in the middle of the garden was beautiful. Her slender body, floating silver hair, and vivid green eyes evoked a fairylike mystique.
“It’s so beautiful.”
As Carina admired the garden, Saviel smiled.
“It’s not as beautiful as you.”
Carina blushed in embarrassment. The man with slightly wavy black hair and blue eyes looked good in his uniform. His almondshaped eyes, high nose bridge, and smooth lips that seemed carefully carved by a craftsman curved into a smile as he looked at her.
“His Highness the Crown Prince always says things like that so lightly.”
“Do you dislike it?”
“Do you also say that to other ladies?”
“I did.”
Carina wore a slightly disappointed expression.
“At that time, it was a courteous remark, and now it’s sincere.”
Saviel took Carina’s hand and kissed the back of it. Carina felt like fainting as her heart pounded.
“Liar.”
“How can I gain your trust?”
When Carina said nothing, Saviel opened his mouth.
“I will permit you to use my name.”
“Excuse me?”
“Saviel. You can call me that.”
“No, that’s not possible.”
Being permitted to use his name was an entirely different matter. In the empire, the privilege of calling a member of the royal family by their name was restricted to parents who had given birth and spouses.
“I dare not use His Highness the Crown Prince’s name… such a thing……”
“Try calling me.”
“I can’t.”
“Do you refuse to follow the command of royalty?”
As Saviel jokingly insisted, Carina licked her lips.
“……Saviel.”
“It sounds good.”
Saviel slowly lowered his head towards Carina. Carina, as if she had been waiting, closed her eyes and accepted his kiss.
“You can call me by my name whenever we’re alone.”
Carina nodded her head, her face reddened. It was unclear whether her cheeks were red due to the sunset, or if she had blushed on her own.
“Your Highness.”
“What is it?”
“That is……”
As the adjutant whispered something, Saviel’s face hardened. Soon, he looked back at Carina as if nothing was wrong.
“Carina. I have an urgent matter, so I must leave.”
When Carina made a disappointed face, Saviel kissed her once more.
“I’ll have you come into the palace again tomorrow.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“If you call me ‘Your Highness’ instead of my name tomorrow, I’ll have to punish you each time.”
As Saviel disappeared with a laugh, Carina felt her legs give out and she sat down where she was.
“Ha. Haha.”
Carina Drepein. She was a lady of a baron family in name only. She grew up just like any ordinary village maiden in a rural village on the outskirts of a distant region.
When both her parents passed away suddenly, she felt as if the sky had fallen. However, she was able to move to the capital thanks to the distant relative, the Earl of Harrington, who took her in as an adoptive daughter.
Carina, having lived a life distant from the capital’s social circle, had not yet made her debut. The Earl’s family poured their heart and soul into preparing her for a late debut.
However, the regimented aristocratic life was suffocating for Carina, who had lived freely until now and was unbearable.
One day, while she endured by reminding herself to hold out until her debut,
The Countess of Harrington and Carina went to the palace together to pay their respects to the Empress. It was a setting where the Countess would present the Empress with valuable jewels to specially introduce Carina into the society.
At that moment, while making way for the conversation between the Countess and the Empress, Carina, who had lost her way, encountered Crown Prince Saviel by chance.
“Haah.”
Remembering the first time she met Saviel, Carina blushed alone. He was the first man she had ever seen who was so stunning. And then……
“That just now. It was our first kiss.”
She heard the ringing sound in her ear. The crimson sky, the splashing sound of the fountain in the garden, and the sweet scent of flowers. Everything was perfect.
“Saviel.”
Carina’s face flushed as she repeated her lover’s name. The woman in love left the palace only after the sun had set today as well.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Lona trudged along the road.
She had waited until nearly ten o’clock at night, but Carina did not return from the palace.
According to the old butler of the Harrington family, Carina had caught the eye of the Crown Prince and was frequently visiting the palace until late.
“The Countess only had one daughterinlaw in the family, so there was no daughter. When the beautiful Carina was taken in as an adopted daughter, the Countess was delighted, and now that she might be married into the royal family, she’s incredibly happy thinking it’s a fortune for the family.”
Lona couldn’t believe the butler’s words.
“Carina has fallen in love with the Crown Prince.”
Carina, who should have met Illeon as soon as she came to the capital, has deviated from the original work.
“What about Illeon…… What should we do?”
Carina was supposed to make medicine for Illeon.
Could she still make the medicine even without love?
Could he still wake up without the prerequisite of falling in love?
It was Lona’s first time facing such a twisted original work in her first reincarnation, and her heart was heavy.
Creak, clang.
The huge iron gate of the mansion made a noise even when opened and closed carefully. Since it was time for everyone to go to bed, Lona quietly opened the door of the mansion and went inside.
Thump.
Just as she closed the front door after entering the mansion,
A black figure was sitting on the stairs.
“You’ve just arrived.”
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…?
