“That’s right. Didn’t you tell me?”
Ermedillin’s question was answered by Louise, who nodded vigorously.
“Yes. I reported it!”
“Didn’t you say so? Please treat him quickly.”
Ermedillin grasped Louise’s hand with desperate eyes.
“The external wounds are severe, but fortunately, the inside is not badly damaged.”
Flash!
A holy light burst from Louise’s body, and the dark underground space brightened momentarily like daylight before darkening again.
“Is it, is it done?”
“I’ve treated all the external wounds for now. If you take good care of him, he’ll come to his senses soon.”
“Haah. Thank you! Thank you so much!”
Ermedillin, still kneeling, took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped the boy’s face.
“Sigh. Blood has gotten into his eyes too. It must have hurt a lot.”
She was so absorbed in wiping his face that she didn’t notice the newly tailored highquality dress getting soaked in the boy’s fresh blood on the floor.
“It’s amazing.”
“What are you talking about?”
Taken aback by Louise’s sudden words, Ermedillin stopped her movement and looked at her.
“I am a priest of God, but I don’t really believe in miracles.”
“Even though I saved you today and treated this boy, what kind of blasphemous words are these?”
As the boy’s breathing became steady, Ermedillin’s voice lightened, her mood improving.
“That’s right. I believed in the existence of gods because I had this power. But it seems I was wrong.”
“What?”
“The gods seem to create miracles in ways that humans can never understand.”
“Miracle? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
At Ermedillin’s question, Louise looked at her with an ambiguous expression and answered.
“A witch turned into a human overnight, what is it if not a miracle?”
At Louise’s words, Ermedillin momentarily showed a surprised expression but soon looked back at the boy with an inscrutable and complex face.
And standing quietly behind them, Pellio looked at her with an even more mysterious gaze than Ermedillin.
He snorted.
Their eyes met for a moment as Ruiz and Pellio turned their heads.
Pellio turned his gaze in the opposite direction with an unnecessary cough.
Human.
For Ermedillin, who had not been treated like a human since coming here, even Ruiz’s somewhat sarcastic words were thrilling.
Thanks to that, Ermedillin’s face was filled with a bright smile, but Loony, who was sitting next to her, was full of displeasure.
“Does this make sense? This assassin… no, the boy tried to kill Her Majesty the Empress!! Does it make sense to check it personally?!”
“Didn’t you see him stabbing me and shaking in fear?”
“Even so, how dare you the Empress…”
“He lost his parents and sister to the plague in just a month. He couldn’t think normally.”
“But I still hate him! When he wakes up, I want to slap him at least once!!”
“Haha. You?”
“Yes! My hands are spicy! My younger siblings used to quiet down when they got a slap from me.”
“Okay. When he wakes up, we’ll have to hold him responsible for the assault. We can’t let him grow up into an adult who wields a knife just because someone urges him.”
“He’s a royal assassin! If a formal trial is held, it will definitely be a death sentence! The case is different from the Duke’s…”
In her excitement, Loony slipped her words and quickly covered her mouth and bowed her head.
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty!”
“No. It’s just a matter of a few days ago, but can’t you speak your mind? Yes. The situation is different from the Duke’s. I’m not going to put this child on trial. I’ll put the person who gave him the dagger and allowed him to enter the funeral hall on trial.”
“Then what responsibility will this brat bear?”
“First, we have to help him overcome the grief of losing his family. And educate him on how barbaric a way violence is to solve problems. Would a hundred pages of reflection be enough?”
“Reflection? That’s nothing!! When he wakes up, I’ll twist him so hard that I’ll make a lump on his head!!”
Ermedillin knew that it wouldn’t go that far, but she only gave a faint smile at Loony’s words.
It had been a tumultuous day.
Ermedillin fell asleep just before dawn.
In the depths of the palace, where everyone but the guards on duty was asleep, Pellio’s father, Duke Batistian, met Priest Ruiz.
“I will stop.”
“Where did all that sharp resentment go? Didn’t you say you would definitely have him hanged?”
“Yes.”
“Don’t you know that it is certain that Her Majesty cursed your husband, even if there is no evidence? Are you still going to stop?”
“Yes. I want to take my hands off the task of removing Her Majesty.”
A glimmer of curiosity flashed in Duke Batistian’s silver eyes at Ruiz’s words.
“May I ask why your mind changed suddenly?”
“I am not deeply religious, but I am a disciple of the gods. I want to see with my own eyes how the gods turn impossibility into possibility.”
“Do you believe that it is possible to resurrect that terrible witch, priest?”
“It looks that way to me.”
“She might just be putting on a plausible act. She’s like that.”
Duke Batistian’s eyes filled with cold hatred as he referred to Ermedillin as that woman.
“Acting…… That might be possible. But the former empress was never the sort to consider others even if it were an act. No, she was a person who couldn’t even consider what effect her words and actions might have on others. That she can even act now is a tremendous change.”
Louise’s assertion brought a look of regret to Count Batistian’s eyes.
“We have lost a reliable ally.”
“There are many who want to remove the empress, aren’t there? Not just me. The government too.”
“Ah, well. That woman…….”
Count Batistian gave a hollow laugh and trailed off.
‘The thoughtless government, the foolish Count of Ilenian, neither is of any help.’
“The sun will rise soon. Let’s go back now.”
The Count, having bid Louise farewell, took out the pocket watch from his coat and looked at it intently.
‘Don’t worry. Even if everyone in this world forgives that woman, I never will.’
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…?
