“Blue of the Empire…?”
“I’m saying, I don’t really like the current Emperor. He’s just a strangely creepy person. Oh, and it’s absolutely not because Matap treats me poorly that I feel this way, not at all.”
It seems like that’s the case. Sessenia smiled, suppressing the emerging thoughts.
“Creeepy?”
“Yeah. Can’t put it into words… ominous. Moreover, the current Crown Prince just causes trouble everywhere. But leaving him as he is without anyone to oppose him doesn’t sit well with me either. I’ve observed Crown Princes and successions for a long time, but now is the time I like the least.”
“Oh.”
“So, I thought I’d try it myself. To find a successor worthy of becoming the Emperor. So, don’t feel pressured and go your own way.”
“How can I ever thank you?”
“Sessenia, it’s not for you.”
“Then why…?”
She thought it was support for herself, but Sessenia blinked at the unexpected response.
“It’s interesting, isn’t it? The situation with Blue coming to the Empire.”
With that, Matapju quickly disappeared into another space.
The space that had been torn apart like tearing fabric quickly stabilized.
It all happened in an instant. Sessenia stared at the spot where Matapju disappeared for a while without a chance to say goodbye.
“Thank you so much.”
“Huh…?”
“Both Matapju and my owner. Thank you.”
“No need. I’ll thank you wherever you are.”
Only then did Sessenia’s gaze turn to Teddy. The blonde Teddy she had seen in the past.
At that time, she had no interest in Teddy and felt nothing special. But now it was different.
Was it because of the confession of love, or perhaps because of the way he smiled broadly every time he saw her.
Sessenia’s heart throbbed irregularly.
“Uh… but is it okay? Blonde… suits me?”
“Yeah. It suits you too well. You were already beautiful, but with blonde hair, you look even more beautiful.”
Having been confined to the top of the slave hierarchy all his life, Teddy’s face was whiter than an average person’s.
So, perhaps that’s why blonde hair added to his nobility.
“I’m lucky.”
“Both black and blonde look good. Our Teddy is just beautiful.”
Sessenia lifted the magpie tail and gently stroked his hair.
“Lucky. I was worried that you might not suit it, that my owner might not find it pretty.”
“It’s beautiful. So noble that it feels like I shouldn’t treat you casually anymore.”
“Please treat me casually. Owner. That’s what I like.”
As she continued to stroke him without saying a word, Teddy let out an awkward laugh.
“Um, what should I do now?”
“First… continue practicing swordsmanship and learn various things, just like you’ve been doing. Learning will fill you up. Since you started later than others, you’ll need to put in more effort.”
“Yes!”
“You also need to continue refining your strength. Do you remember expressing anger to Gelox earlier? You need to learn how to control your strength, like you did back then. Strong power requires even stronger mental strength.”
Teddy, who had been answering confidently until now, seemed a bit uncertain.
“Is that possible…?”
“If not, I’ll find a teacher to help you.”
“A teacher…?”
“Magic might be fundamentally different, but strength ultimately involves mental strength, don’t you think?”
“Ah, that could be true. So, will Matapju-nim come again?”
A smile spread across her face. A strangely uncomfortable smile.
‘Sorry, Teddy. The teacher who will teach you isn’t Matapju. I can’t burden him any further.’
Sessenia’s envisioned teacher was Sillian.
Knowing that she had bet her future and turned the tables on the slime, Sessenia had negotiated with the Elder in exchange for Teddy.
‘In that case, it’s enough to ask.’
Compared to others, Sillian seemed less burdensome.
Perhaps it was because he seemed more comfortable than those who helped out of kindness.
Of course, he had helped her earlier, but that was then, and this was now.
“Master?”
“Yeah?”
“What are you thinking?”
“Oh, I’m not thinking about anything. Oh, and… I have a place to go. Now that you’ve made up your mind, you need someone to prove yourself.”
Sessenia clapped her hands hastily, diverting the topic.
“Hasn’t it already been proven?”
“No. Of course, Teddy, your appearance as a Hwangjok is perfect. A blonde with a golden aura. Those two things are uniquely possessed by the Hwangjok.”
“But why…?”
“I will make your entrance as magnificent as possible. For that, we need a dramatic device. Don’t be scared; you don’t have to worry. They are quite dramatic when it comes to Hwangjok.”
“Ah… But I’m not even a formal Hwangjok. Is it okay? Oh, of course, I’m not scared. It’s just… I’m worried… not that I’m discouraged. Definitely not. It’s not that I lack confidence. It’s just…”
Except for Sessenia, Rohan, Lizbeth, and Matapju, Teddy had not met anyone.
He learned swordsmanship from Rohan and studied with the books brought by Rohan and Sessenia.
Since birth, he had only encountered people at the top of the slave hierarchy, so Sessenia keenly felt how great Teddy’s anxiety might be.
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…?
