I sighed and clenched the rosary on my wrist.
“Rox.”
As soon as the spell was cast, the narrow space brightly lit up, and the rats and snakes disappeared in an instant.
The spiders were still hanging on their webs, but their legs were humbly folded.
“Don’t worry. Even if they attack us, they’re done if we cut them.”
“Who’s worried about such a thing? If I kill those things, the poison will stick to my blade, uh……!”
A demon sword afraid of poison.
I chuckled and looked around the room.
‘As expected.’
Various aged potions were neatly arranged on the shelf.
Originally, there must have been a lot on the floor too, but it had all been claimed by the rats.
I carefully placed the potion bottles in the leather pouch I had prepared.
‘Five bottles of highgrade health potions, three bottles of highgrade mana potions. Totally neglected.’
I’m a saint and have no use for mana potions, but it’s different for Leto and his party.
Since the world’s greatest mage is with Leto, it would be a great help to her.
“Are we leaving now? Huh?”
Denesor was almost begging me now.
I shook my head and pointed to the opposite wall with the tip of my sword.
Another small gap similar to the one we had passed was visible.
“Hey, don’t tell me…….”
“You’ll get used to it soon.”
I smiled faintly.
“There are quite a few rooms.”
Fortunately, Denesor gave up screaming after the third room.
I entered the fifth room with the stuffed leather pouch.
‘Ah, there it is.’
In one corner of the empty room, a small box lay alone.
I put down the pouch and hurriedly opened the box.
‘Indeed!’
A plainlooking leather shoe, except for a small wingshaped pattern engraved on the back, caught my eye.
When I put it on, it fit my foot as if it were custommade.
I carelessly tossed away the pretty shoes I had been wearing.
I obtained an item that triples the moving speed, ‘Breath of Hermes,’ but what does it matter with expensive and luxurious shoes?
“What is this?”
“Just shoes.”
“Don’t take me for a fool.”
Denesor grumbled but didn’t probe any further.
Just then.
From beyond the wall, I heard a voice I knew all too well.
“……Do you have evidence?”
My heart pounded.
Hades was beyond the wall, which wasn’t thick at all.
‘……If I get caught, what should I do.’
Hades had been suspicious of me all along.
If he realized I knew about the secret space, he would be even more doubtful.
I held my breath and listened to the conversation from the other side of the wall.
“It’s not there.”
An unknown voice answered.
“Investigate properly. If you catch a living person, division will occur immediately.”
“But Your Majesty, by the time we find out for sure, it may be too late.”
“In the worst case, isn’t being attacked in the castle everything?”
“Yes. We will be attacked from within. Can Your Majesty take responsibility for that as well?”
“……I’ll do my best, so try your best.”
“I understand.”
From the bitter voice, it seemed that the other party didn’t agree with Hades’s thoughts at all.
“But shouldn’t we spread at least the fact that we know of the traitor’s existence?”
“If we spread it, they will doubt each other and divide. That’s exactly what the traitor wants, so I reject it.”
“Your Majesty!”
“I always appreciate your efforts. Give me a little more strength.”
The conversation ended quickly, and I heard both the other party and Hades leaving the room.
Even though the risk of being caught had disappeared, I couldn’t leave the place for a long time.
‘……A traitor.’
There’s a traitor in Donovan’s impregnable castle.
Considering the fact that Hades falls rapidly in the notsodistant future…….
My mouth was dry.
The image of Hades Croitner from the game vividly appeared in my mind.
The murderer who swung his sword at the protagonist, losing his sanity.
Even though he was corrupted because of Denesor, it was hard to understand.
But what if there was a fatal betrayal at the foundation of that appearance?
I swallowed my dry spit.
Maybe…… maybe, I can stop it.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“Holy Lady!”
As soon as I entered the room, Amy greeted me with an almost tearful expression.
“Where did you go while I was in the library?”
“Just. I felt suffocated, so I went for a walk.”
“You, who are not well……!”
Amy’s eyes welled up with tears.
“I’m sorry. But I really feel better…… Look, the doctor said that a moderate walk would help, didn’t he?”
“A moderate walk? You’ve come back covered in dust! I’ll prepare a bath right away. You must take it!”
It was a welcome sound.
Going to an old and musty space wasn’t a pleasant thing.
The bath was quickly filled, and I immersed myself in the fragrant oily water, feeling soft and smooth.
My body became languid, but my mind was complicated.
Upon reflection, it wasn’t just Hades’s problem.
‘Hades fell because of the power aiming for the sacred sword. If the traitor is also aiming for the sacred sword…….’
Right now, only Hades knows that I’m the owner of the sacred sword, but what if it becomes known?
The traitor will target me.
But I wasn’t given much time to think.
As soon as I finished my bath, someone knocked on the door vehemently.
“I’ll check and come back.”
Amy hurriedly opened the door and peeked her head out.
‘Is it Hades?’
I straightened myself up.
It was not an entirely unexpected visit.
Knowing that there was a traitor within, I would have even doubted myself.
But Amy had been conversing for a while, and there was no sign of Hades coming in.
Unable to bear it, I yelled at Amy.
“What’s the matter, Amy?”
Only then did Amy turn around with a pale, drained face.
“Your Holiness, you must prepare immediately. The imperial delegation has arrived!”
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…?
