Finally, after finishing the dance with Leopold, Ermeldine, gasping for breath, hurriedly left the garden.
Seeing Ermeldine almost running out of the garden, those who were worried about her gathered around.
“Now that I see up close, I understand. They look exactly alike. Ferdand and their facial features are identical!”
Now that she thought about it, the portrait of Sunhwang hung in the palace resembled Ferdand a lot.
“What if someone notices this fact? What if Henri finds out? Would he make a scene with Ferdand?”
Rune, with a worried look, sat down and embraced Ermeldine’s shoulders, who was breathing heavily, trying to reassure her.
“Your Majesty, are you not feeling well? Shall we return to your quarters?”
“Oh, no. It’s nothing.”
Ermeldine forced a smile, trying to reassure Rune by clapping her hands lightly, but her mind was too complicated.
“He missed me? Is that all? Did he come all this way just to see my face? I’d rather it be something like that.”
With these tangled thoughts, Ermeldine’s face gradually darkened.
“It probably won’t work. Let’s escort Her Majesty back to her chamber.”
At Bellest’s words, Ermeldine raised her head and forced a smile at his suggestion.
“I’m really fine. Let’s go! Let’s go to the square!”
Although not in good condition, Ermeldine didn’t want to return to the empress’s palace.
If she just sat there without doing anything, her complicated thoughts might really explode.
At the moment, she just didn’t want to think about anything.
Ermeldine barely gathered her composure and moved towards the square, step by step.
Entering the square, she saw the faces of countless people filled with happiness.
The bare faces without masks were overflowing with indescribable expectations and liberation.
Looking at the people’s expressions, Ermeldine’s surprised heart slowly began to settle.
“Yes. For now, let’s focus here and find a way to secretly contact Prince Leopold. I need to understand why he came here.”
The genuine Ermeldine stepped into the center of the square, one step at a time.
She realized that the gaze of the people looking at her had changed a lot from before.
Not everyone looked at her with affectionate eyes, but at least the intense fear and hatred were hard to find.
“Hoo.”
As Ermeldine prepared for her speech, catching her breath for a moment, she saw the young couple she had met in the morning approaching.
“It seems like we were looking for you!”
Forgetting about the opening speech and seeing the baby she had saved up close, Ermeldine spread her arms toward the baby.
The baby, still not hiding its face, was willingly held by Ermeldine.
The baby felt much sturdier than a few months ago.
With its head held high and smiling happily, it was a healthy, growing baby that clearly received love.
Suddenly, the image of the baby lying helpless and pale, about to die, flashed in Ermeldine’s mind.
She had no idea how terrifying it was, fearing that she might not save the small life.
The baby, which she had sustained with her own life, had grown much heavier than back then.
She had contemplated for days on how to start the opening speech.
In fact, until this moment, she was not sure what words would be appropriate.
But at this moment, Ermeldine knew what words were needed.
“The long winter has ended, and spring has come! Life has finally triumphed over death! Everyone gathered here today, enjoy this beautiful spring day!”
“Wow!! Hail to Her Majesty the Empress!!”
“Hail to Trivian!!”
At Ermeldine’s declaration, the people gathered in the square began to cheer for her.
The cheers of the passionate people filled Ermeldine’s chest with warmth.
Soon, with lively music starting, the people began to move their bodies in their own ways.
Soon, as the lively music began, the people started moving their bodies in their own ways.
Although the modest gestures were far from the graceful dance seen in the palace garden a while ago, they were more dynamic and lively.
Truly, the lives that had overcome the death-like long winter were now joyfully dancing in this place where spring had finally arrived.
Ermeldine gladly responded to all the people who invited her to dance.
Fellio and Bellest were exhausted from guarding Ermeldine like a fortress, but Ermeldine accepted requests from the elderly with canes to children who had just started to walk.
“Phew. Now I’m too tired, and I can’t dance anymore. I should go back. I can’t keep up.”
Rune and Mago said they would play more with friends they hadn’t seen in a while, and the maids said they would stay in the square to finish the party.
Naturally, only Fellio, who was responsible for security, accompanied Ermeldine back to the palace.
Since all the palace staff were gathered in the central garden where the party was in full swing, the palace was quieter and more deserted than usual.
The reddish glow of the sun, almost leaning on the empty corridor, reflected diagonally.
Even the sunlight floating in the air exuded a happy energy.
Ermeldine felt really good after a long time.
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…?
