“Please help, Empress. I must have that woman.”
Saviel’s obsession had turned violent, and he had crossed the line long ago.
Seraphina was well aware that Saviel had captured Elysia as a Siren and let her go. The ship he used to imprison Lev belonged to her.
Nevertheless, in Seraphina’s eyes, Saviel appeared only as a man who was rejected, wounded in pride, and hurt in his feelings.
Initially, the problem was with the woman who dared to reject the noble gaze of the crown prince and acted arrogantly.
Rather than looking up and humbling herself, she left the secular world with an expressionless face, not giving him a glance, as if staying at the end of the sky or under the feet of the gods. Because she did not stay by his side like that, Saviel’s agony grew worse.
There were times when Seraphina was enchanted by Elysia’s gaze, seemingly crystallized in the world of the priestess. However, completely forgetting such times, Seraphina became entirely on Saviel’s side and became furious.
Returning to the Empress’s palace, leaving Saviel behind, Seraphina poured a strong drink into a small cup.
As the hot energy spread through her veins, her boiling insides and head regained a cold composure.
Since Saviel ascended to the position of the crown prince, despite being the mother of the child, Seraphina had consistently used respectful titles.
Receiving noble treatment within the household was to be recognized and respected outside as well.
“Saviel. They are ruining my son.”
Ileon and Elysia.
The newly emerging noble families, including the Harington Marquisate, supported Saviel. They didn’t need to capture him through marriage. The reason for ignoring the Harington Marquis’s plea, who subtly hinted at the desire for marriage, was that they disregarded the wishes of the nobility.
The problem was the aristocrats who wanted to depose Saviel and raise Oderin Ileon as the next emperor.
Not only the Yuter Duke but also the focal points of several old aristocratic families flashed through her mind. There were a few offspring from old aristocratic families, and among them, Elysia Yuter was the only one that caught Seraphina’s heart. She was such an extraordinary existence.
Even if it wasn’t Elysia, just being from an old aristocratic family would have sufficed.
Feeling as if she had encountered an obstacle by dragging out the time, Seraphina the Empress didn’t know what to do.
“Even if Saviel becomes the emperor like this, Ileon will be a burden.”
As Oder, who was forcefully thrust in as a substitute, becomes stronger, he might try to belittle and criticize the actions of the emperor. It meant they needed to find faults and tear him down.
Empress Seraphina took out a glass bottle she had hidden in the wall.
Lev’s blood.
Oder’s blood was undoubtedly strange.
The blood, a symbol of divine power, did not turn black like an ordinary person’s blood, nor did it coagulate.
It continued to ripple with a glossy red luster, just like before, inside the glass bottle.
“Look here. Is there anyone?”
The maid, hearing Empress Seraphina’s words, quickly entered and was startled by the cold expression on the empress’s face.
“Go and bring someone.”
“Yes? Whom do you mean?”
Empress Seraphina took out a neatly folded paper from a small pocket and handed it to the maid.
“He is a blacksmith. The location is written there.”
“Yes, Empress Seraphina.”
The only thing that could restrain Oder was Oder’s blood.
For Saviel’s sake, Empress Seraphina was planning to create a weapon to hunt down Oder.
After Elysia’s return to the Duke’s residence following the rumors of her engagement with Ileon, who was visiting the Yuter Duke, Seraphina was not unaware.
In this way, two completely different people became bound to Seraphina with one goal.
Eliminate Ileon, who threatens Saviel’s position, and capture Elysia, whom Saviel desires, to be embraced by her son.
“Saviel, I won’t give it to you unless you become the best.”
The persistent look in Seraphina’s eyes was dyed crimson along with the shaking candlelight.
Normally, it would be a morning to wake up, complete meditation, and leisurely welcome.
However, for some reason, Elisia’s heart fluttered for no apparent reason.
“Tighten this for me.”
Illeon, sitting on the bed, handed Elisia a bundle of bandages. His face, illuminated by the sunlight through the window, was more dazzling than the sunlight itself.
Was it because she had grown up in Hadumsha all her life?
Why did Illeon, wearing a white priest’s robe, give a sense of asceticism despite the loose attire, unlike other formal dresses and suits?
With his fairer-than-average skin and flowing black hair, when he wore the white clothes, his appearance seemed to stand out even more.
Elisia sighed as she received the bandages.
‘What a waste.’
She wanted to see Illeon’s appearance a little more, but due to the red eyes and distinctive appearance, she couldn’t go without bandages and a wig.
“Why?”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m curious why you’re hesitating.”
“Well, about that.”
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…?
