Approaching me from behind, he raised his hand to my shoulder. The cold and long fingers made my shoulder feel the chill.
“Don’t give him your heart. It’s the worst thing you can do.”
The hand on my knee trembled slightly.
He lowered his head. The soft lips lightly brushed against my ear.
“Have you perhaps changed your thoughts about the engagement?”
“…….”
“Do you want to marry him?”
I turned my head. His eyes, staring at me up close, felt as if deep green irises were piercing through me like dazzling and glamorous jewels.
Suddenly, I remembered Giovanni’s black eyes. Compared to those pitch-black and deep eyes, his were dazzling and radiant.
The pupils resembled coal rather than obsidian, deep and endless like a coal mine with no visible end. His eyes were massive and heavy.
In comparison, Hubert’s irises were dazzling and beautiful, but sharp.
The unsettled heart settled a bit.
“No way.”
“…….”
“The only one who wants the engagement is the Crown Prince of Dobrakhan.”
“…….”
“The king wishes for me to become close to the prince, but it’s to ensure that the prince and the empire don’t overlook Princess Larratoo. I don’t actually want to marry the prince. I know that much.”
“…….”
“The prince himself has no such thoughts.”
“…….”
“Above all, I dislike it.”
Hubert’s and my gazes clashed in the air.
“Ig.”
He took my hand and intertwined our fingers like fingers brushing against each other.
“Our relationship doesn’t seem the same as before lately, and it doesn’t feel good.”
“…….”
“My unreasonable request must have troubled you.”
His voice gradually became sweet, strangely calming my mind like a calm surface of water.
“It’s okay.”
It’s not enough.
This statement wouldn’t be conveyed to him with its literal meaning.
“Of course, it was a bit sad.”
“…….”
“I know your heart well. Didn’t you say you have no one else to help you?”
I lowered my eyes appropriately.
My mind was busy.
How would he perceive me in this state?
‘He’ll probably see me as the devoted and loyal Iggraine Lorenst who still believes in him like iron.’
That’s good.
I decided to continue portraying Iggraine Lorenst, who harbored affection for the childhood companion who protected me from my fearsome mother.
Hubert tightly grasped my hand.
“I’m relieved. I trust only you. You know that, right?”
Confirming his firm gaze, I inwardly sighed with relief. His words about trusting me didn’t bother me in the least.
‘Time is short. The closer I get to Giovanni, the deeper the suspicion will inevitably become.’
Establishing a foundation became urgent.
I needed to leave this place immediately, so that this guy couldn’t harm me.
In the kingdom, when someone mentions the forbidden princess of the royal family, everyone knows.
Larratoo Laxio Luizosana. She is commonly referred to as Princess Larratoo.
Born into the noblest lineage in the kingdom and possessing the ability to manipulate water, she is undoubtedly the kingdom’s first lady.
Although the term “not even having a drop of water on her hands” does not apply to a priestess, a saying such as “not having a single drop of sweat on her” is indeed true for her.
Her room, entirely adorned in pink, is filled with the scent of the kingdom’s most prestigious lady, often called the Pink Princess by the palace residents.
This was not only a reflection of her taste as the room’s owner but also a result influenced by the will of her father, King Hermann.
There was something peculiar about the king’s affection for his only daughter.
Everyone in the kingdom agrees that the king loves his daughter dearly, but Princess Larratoo occasionally felt suffocated by the king’s affection.
He was a father who simply wished for his daughter to grow up gracefully. His habitual words were not rough, but gentle and lovely.
Fortunately, the princess grew up just as the king desired.
With a cute demeanor and having received adoration from the adults in the royal family since childhood, she had little experience with wrinkles, although she had a somewhat stubborn side.
Having already obtained everything she wanted, there was nothing to be greedy about.
The current situation was undoubtedly unfamiliar to her.
In a situation where she was contemplating what to say to a man to express her feelings, she faced a dilemma.
‘The sky is beautiful…’
Princess Larratoo looked out the window with her chin resting on her hands.
At the moment when the thought crossed her mind that the large cloud resembled a doodle, a gritty face appeared on the cloud.
No matter how much she tried to recall, the man was vividly present in front of her.
“Sending a letter might not be a good idea?”
The maid, who was picking up snacks, chuckled at the casually thrown remark.
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…?
