“Since we’ve had some affection, I won’t go as far as execution. But you should be prepared not to set foot on the kingdom’s land. The crime of collaborating with a spy is heavy.”
As she left, I said one last thing.
“I did not collaborate with a spy.”
The guard opened the door. Princess Larratu walked towards the door where the light was pouring in.
A small voice drifted in.
“That’s something I cannot know.”
As the door closed, a sigh escaped.
I thought it would be difficult to untangle the twisted relationship with just a few words.
“At least I confirmed that there’s definitely no intention to kill me.”
That night, I received an exile order.
The exile destination was a land near the kingdom, within the desert.

Giovanni was reading a letter from the Empire. He stretched his neck as if curious about the contents.
“What does Lady Licia say?”
The letter, written in a quirky sorcerer’s handwriting, contained brief matters.
“There doesn’t seem to be any special energy in the items I sent.”
“None at all?”
“That’s right.”
They had sent quite a few items to the kingdom while staying there, from the aquamarine emblem of the shrine to fragments of the temple and a statue famous for the water deity. But none of them had the presumed divine power.
“Is there really such a thing as the kingdom’s divine artifacts?”
Giovanni replied to the disappointed voice.
“Licia is convinced of that.”
“But now the only place left is inside the royal palace. It would be difficult for even that woman to infiltrate.”
“True. Or maybe the kingdom’s divine artifacts are not objects.”
“What?”
Giovanni tapped the letter.
“Licia’s reaction to the items I sent is ambiguous.”
“…”
“From the beginning, she didn’t think the items were divine artifacts.”
“No, then why didn’t you tell me that earlier?”
“I can’t know Licia’s thoughts.”
“Anyway, she’s a peculiar sorceress.”
“If the kingdom’s divine artifact is not an object but a person, there is only the priestess.”
Chef sighed, pondering.
“It would be better to steal one divine artifact.”
If the kingdom’s secret meant the entire priesthood, the Empire couldn’t steal the kingdom’s secret.
Giovanni nodded and looked down at the letter.
“Why is your expression like that? Did Lady Licia say something annoying again?”
“Every step you take leads to the Emperor’s path.”
Before leaving the Empire, she had said that.
Although she was now often evaluated as senile, she was the only sorceress left in the Empire since all the sorcerers had disappeared, heading to the Sorcerer’s Tower. Even if she was considered senile, people feared her words.
“No, for once, she was worried about ordinary things.”
“Worried?”
“She said the desert has been empty for too long.”
Chef immediately nodded.
“It’s true that the duration of staying in the kingdom has become longer than expected.”
Glancing around, he continued.
“If it’s not possible to find the kingdom’s divine artifacts right away, how about returning to the Empire for now? In fact, your brothers are quite worried.”
“…”
“The king is no longer as friendly as before, and in the Empire, Kun is persecuting your brothers. There is no reason to stay in the kingdom anymore, is there?”
“The only time we can uncover the secret of water is now.”
“But if we miss the timing, we’ll lose our brothers.”
Giovanni fell silent. Chef was anxious, and his heart felt stifled.
While Giovanni sympathized with Chef’s desire to uncover the secret of water and bring the Empire the blessing of water, it was also important to be wary of Kun. If the leaders of the Empire were to switch allegiance to Rodolfo, Giovanni’s standing would significantly diminish.
For various reasons, Chef felt betrayed.
However, Giovanni still had an expressionless face, and Chef couldn’t grasp what he was thinking.
“That woman…”
“Yes?”
“Is Igraine still in prison?”
The name still sounded awkward coming from Giovanni’s mouth, so Chef responded a beat late.
“It might be better for you to give up on that woman. The situation is not favorable. Considering you even received an exile order.”
“Exile order?”
Giovanni’s gaze turned toward Chef.
With a puzzled raised eyebrow, Chef nodded.
“It seems like you’ve been ordered to wait in the lands near the kingdom until the remaining assassins of the Shadow are captured. As long as those assassins are not caught, they will hide their bodies, making it difficult for you to return to the kingdom anytime soon.”
“Why didn’t you tell me that earlier?”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
