‘Why? Why?’
Illeion has no reason to act like this towards me.
Just a little while ago, wasn’t he enjoying a good time with Carina?
Elysia suppressed the overwhelming feeling of sadness welling up.
Why is Illeion Clavent such a compelling presence?
Even the blind man and her had walked this path every day. Except for gloomy days, they walked everywhere, to the point where now Elysia felt confident she could walk with her eyes closed.
There were moments when the blind man, unable to see, almost tripped over a rough stone, and Elysia herself was almost caught in it. In those moments, Illeion quickly reached out his arm to support her before she fell.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m sorry, Lord Illeion.”
“You’re really careless. I’ve played the part of a servant; what will you repay me with now?”
“Oh, you’re really too much.”
The day she silently cursed him for being even worse than before was so vivid.
She couldn’t talk to him or stay by his side.
Everything remained the same – the sponsorship, herself, Illeion – yet the relationship with him had changed.
On top of the regret that she had come to the sponsorship for no reason, she wasn’t paying much attention to what Roben and Esho were saying.
‘Just a little more.’
She could have glimpsed the place where Illeion had set up a tent to spend some more time with him.
She had been thinking about it the whole time, but seeing Illeion, who had appeared and was quarreling, she was confused again.
‘I knew it.’
She had thought that when Illeion opened his eyes, he wouldn’t be able to stay by her side, and yet, why did this lingering feeling remain? While he was opening his eyes, couldn’t he have been able to gather enough money to live separately, like a maid who served with persistence but didn’t need to receive such a favor?
Elysia believed that her own confused state was the problem.
And Illeion, who seemed to have no intention of interfering suddenly.
Roben felt a subtle atmosphere and answered, “In Harumsha, we pray every day for those standing on the battlefield. If someday His Excellency comes to Harumsha and personally attends the prayer meeting, the wounded soldiers and their families will be greatly pleased.”
“Wounded soldiers?”
“Yes. Those who couldn’t return intact from the battlefield come to soothe their hearts.”
“…I see.”
He, too, had lost his eyes after winning the battle.
Something in Roben’s words must have touched Illeion’s heart, as his cold attitude towards him softened.
“As my residence is only a part of the mansion, it’s not suitable to entertain guests. It seems I have burdened His Excellency by bringing him here. I would like to take them to my room to continue the conversation.”
When Elysia said she would take them to her room, Illeion openly showed a displeased expression.
“Give them my reception room.”
“Pardon?”
“Butler!”
When Illeion called, Bernar, who was far away, rushed over as if he had been waiting.
“They are guests who came from Harumsha. Since their mother is in the reception room, it seems inappropriate to continue the conversation there.”
“We’re fine.”
Elysia tried to convey her refusal, but Illeion was insistent.
“Prepare tea in my reception room, and make arrangements for the priests to rest.”
“Yes.”
Illeion glanced at Roben and Esho once more before turning away.
“Why is he like that?”
Esho grumbled without reservation as he disappeared.
“Seems like jealousy. Could it be due to the implications?”
“…It does seem a bit strange.”
Elysia stared blankly at the retreating Illeion.
At that moment, Illeion, as if overwhelmed by an intense emotion in his mind, leaned against the mansion’s corner as soon as he turned.
“Heuk, heuk.”
Just a while ago, he was spending a good time with Carina.
She was a beautiful and lovely person.
Looking at Carina, Elysia felt a faithful sentiment as if she had found the other half of her soul.
Although she had never shown interest in women before, now, if Carina were to disappear, it felt like she would lose the meaning of living, as if one person’s existence had deeply engraved itself into her.
She had been contemplating whether to reciprocate Carina’s affection, whether to pick up even a fragment of her expressed feelings, and enjoying warm and tingling moments.
Then, an ambiguous woman wearing a hood appeared. She seemed like a priest with her actions, but her clothes were not the white priest’s robe of Harumsha. Her hair wasn’t dyed white either.
When Elysia asked Butler Bernar about her identity in passing, he hesitated for a moment and cautiously answered.
“Elysia… has suffered a scandal in Harumsha.”
A priest who suffered a scandal.
She was the illegitimate daughter of Duke Yuter, who had become a priest at a young age.
Once called the next candidate for the next priest, she went from being a sacred woman to a forsaken servant with the stigma of scandal.
That was all the information he had roughly gathered about Elysia. Even obtaining this much information was incredibly difficult.
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…?
