Her gaze quickly returned to the bed. When she gestured with her eyes, Georgiana closed her mouth.
When Georgiana hesitated for a long time, Baroness Emerge’s gaze became sharp in an instant.
“Hurry up!”
Reluctantly, Georgiana, who had hesitated for a while, finally grabbed the bundle of quilts and pulled it.
When the quilt was removed, the awkward appearance of Aris was revealed. With an expression drawn in the light illuminating her face and a voice that sounded stern, she snapped.
“Who dares to touch me!”
“Get up and eat, Aris.”
The startled Aris turned her head. It was the first time seeing her face after the trial.
Seeing her wretched appearance, Baroness Emerge openly sneered.
“This is beyond pathetic.”
“Why did you come.”
Aris, who nervously swept her hair back, replied in a rough tone.
The jaw that had become slender after losing weight and the pale skin were beautiful in their own way, but the dark circles under her eyes and the eyes devoid of any light were eerily unsettling.
It wasn’t the always glamorous Aris.
Mrs. Emerge, who simply thought it was a health issue, kept scolding continuously.
“You should take care of your health. Although luck followed you, you managed to control your power in the end. However, no one can guarantee what will happen next time. Don’t just lie down like this; you should pray. Neglecting the act of praying to the gods is not good. The god of water sees everything, you know?”
Mrs. Emerge was also a devoted follower of Marta.
While others called this incident an accident, she felt differently inside.
‘Something must be wrong. Did I do something impure?’
Thinking like that, Aris seemed even more displeasing.
If she did something wrong, she should confess her sins to the gods and seek forgiveness. She couldn’t understand why Aris was just lying there instead of doing what she was supposed to do after doing something right.
Mrs. Emerge had taken care of Aris, her relative’s daughter, since she was young. Aris was always a pretty and proud child to her.
However.
‘Was she originally like this?’
A sense of disappointment welled up.
Aris stayed silent with her head bowed.
‘Well, I was surprised too.’
Mrs. Emerge gathered her thoughts and sat on the bed, whispering gently to Aris, who had spread her thin golden hair.
“I understand that you’re deeply distressed. But don’t worry too much. Just stopping at this point means that the gods bless you. The outcome of the trial was good too.”
The hair shook slightly.
Because of the fallen hair, Aris’s face was not visible.
“While you’re like this, you need to know what that Iggraine is up to. Did you know that she’s so wicked and greedy? She receives praise and gifts from everywhere… Huh, who knows how far it’ll go. Well, she’s not from a noble background anyway.”
“…”
“Anyway, pull yourself together and eat well. I’ll be back if you don’t.”
She also advised Georgiana.
“Make sure Aris eats well.”
“Yes, madam.”
After Mrs. Emerge left and Georgiana looked back at Aris, she was surprised.
A blue light flickered through the curtain-like hair.
But it was only for a moment.
Soon after, the sharp gaze dulled, and the pupils began to tremble.
“Miss, are you okay?”
Georgiana, who approached hesitantly, shook her shoulders carefully, but Aris seemed to feel nothing.
And that was the truth.
In reality, Aris was caught in a state of panic.
‘What should I do now?’
Tears flowed. This time, it was not fake; it was truly tears caused by sadness and fear.
‘God still blesses me? Don’t make me laugh. It’s gone… the blessing has disappeared!’
The scream of agony seemed to burst out, so she bit her lips to hold it in.
It felt like she would go crazy from the frustration, but this was a secret that should not be spoken to anyone. Not to Georgiana, who was a confidante, or to Hubert, who was on her side.
Loss of power.
The despairing reality kept her confined to her room for several days.
No entry into high society? Of course, it was dreadful.
Praying every day? Annoying, but if she had to, she could do it.
However, compared to the fact that she couldn’t use her power, those things were nothing.
As long as she had strength and the opportunity to demonstrate it, such punishments would disappear as if they never happened.
But now it had completely vanished.
“Where does it hurt? Shall I bring some medicine?”
“Get out…”
“What?”
“I said, get out!”
Swinging her arm and shouting, Georgiana, startled, hastily left the room.
Thud!
The sound of the door closing brought a sense of relief and disappointment simultaneously.
Aris bit her lips. Tears welled up. Fearing that someone might see, she hastily turned over the blanket.
She bit her lips meticulously.
‘Is it true that the gods have abandoned me as people say? Why? What did I do wrong?’
A vague fear of an unknown existence overwhelmed Aris.
Even if she were called Princess Lallatu, she never thought she could be above her own head.
But Aris, who was still a kingdom’s subject, was shaken by the fact that the sole deity, Marta, had taken away her power and blessings. It was as shocking as that.
How could it not be? The love of the gods, the evidence of blessings, disappeared overnight!
However, as time passed, a sense of alienation crept in. Despite the significant loss of power, that was all there was to it.
Nothing happened.
Only the annoying news of Igraine’s recent activities reached her. It was just useless chatter that Lady Emerge had shared just now.
As fear, anxiety, and despair filled her, a different thought began to quietly rise in her mind.
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…?
