I Will No Longer Live As Your Villainess - Chapter 36
So Teishar closely examined Brant in front of him. Upon reflection, there was no resemblance at all. But when Brant said he wanted to see Lorencia as his precious daughter, Teishar became angry. And so sad.
Lorencia was abused simply because she was an illegitimate child. But as it turned out, she was not the illegitimate child of the Pol Heredian family. How sad and painful would it be for Lorencia to find out about this?
Just thinking about it felt like his heart was being torn apart.
Could he tell her about the secret of her birth and that he doesn’t know if her father is alive or dead? What if the young tree, upon learning the truth, fell into sorrow?
He didn’t even know how to tell her. Teishar felt unjust and angry at the thought of Lorencia having to bear all the emotions alone after knowing the truth.
“Please bring my daughter to me quickly! I want to hear the story directly from my beloved daughter Lorencia!”
“Ah…”
For the first time, Teishar had the thought of wanting to kill someone in a cruel and painful way.
[This is the timeline separator]“Lady Lorencia.”
“Yes, Evan.”
“I heard you haven’t had your debutante ball yet to make your social debut.”
“That’s right. The date for the debutante ball hasn’t even been properly set. Due to various circumstances.”
Usually, the debutante ball is held at the age of 15. At the same time, it is common to make one’s social debut as well. But Lorencia was 19 years old and had not even had her debutante ball yet, which made Amelin and Evan’s anger rise.
“Anne said she had ordered a black dress for me.”
“D-did you just say a black dress?”
Evan stammered as he asked Lorencia about her words. Lorencia nodded in response to his question.
“Lady Lorencia.”
“Yes, Amelin.”
“Wearing a black dress at the debutante ball means that your future social life will be as gloomy as the color of the dress.”
“Really? I thanked Anne so much for ordering the black dress for me without knowing that.”
“She’s truly a wicked woman I don’t even want to mention.”
Amelin thought Lorencia needed to know the correct information and knowledge, so she clearly told her the meaning of the black dress even if it might hurt her.
“The debutante dress should be made in the color of the eyes of the partner who dances the first dance, and the jewels are matched to the color of the partner’s hair.”
“I didn’t know that before.”
Lorencia also had memories of wearing a black dress and dancing in the previous future, and she knew what a black dress meant. But she couldn’t say she already knew it from experiencing it in the future, so she pretended not to know and hid it.
“Don’t worry. From now on, I will teach you all this basic common sense and refinement.”
“Okay.”
Amelin looked at Lorencia with admiration. When Lorencia was taught one thing, she realized ten things on her own. And she showed a strong desire to learn. She felt a great sense of accomplishment as a teacher every time those violet eyes comprehended what was being taught.
She had heard about Lorencia’s story to some extent from Teishar. The emotions she felt when she first heard the story were anger and sadness. She also told Teishar that there was no way her father could be Count Pol Heredian.
“Thank you.”
“You’re really adorable, Lady Lorencia.”
Since she owed Musila a huge debt of gratitude that she could not repay, she decided to repay all the debts she owed to Lorencia.
“Lady Lorencia, shall we review the letters you learned yesterday?”
“Please take good care of me, Amelin and Evan.”
Lorencia said with a delightful smile. At that sight, even the stoic Evan’s expression softened slightly.
“I’m happy and grateful that you enjoy studying so much, as a teacher.”
It was when paper, quill pens, ink, and other items were prepared on the desk.
-Meow.
“Leo, did you sleep well?”
-Meow. Meow.
Leo, who had woken up at some point, started meowing after washing his face like a cat. Lorencia bent her waist and spread her arms. As if he had been waiting, Leo leaped into her arms.
But only for a moment.
Leo, who was sitting on Lorencia’s thighs, jumped onto the desk and started interfering with her studies by wagging his front paws and tail on the paper in front of her.
“Leo, get down.”
-Meow.
In response to Lorencia’s request, Leo let out a low and cute meow sound. And he tilted his head. At times like this, it seemed like Leo knew he was cute and acted accordingly.
“Why does Leo always interfere whenever I start studying?”
“That’s what we call cat jealousy.”
“Jealousy? Leo is jealous?”
“They say cats choose the person they like as their owner. It’s funny, right? Because they like you, they think they’re giving you the opportunity to take care of them, that’s what cats think.”
Amelin looked at Leo. Leo rejects the touch of anyone other than Lorencia and Teishar. If Amelin just reaches out her hand, Leo snarls. Not only that, but he also watches closely when Lorencia’s hair is being combed. Leo acts not like a cat, but like a mother-in-law.
“If my owner pays attention to something other than me, the cat gets jealous and interferes with what you’re paying attention to. The reason Leo is putting his front paws on the paper you’re studying right now is that he wants you to pay attention only to him. He’s jealous of your studying.”
Upon learning this unexpected fact, Lorencia picked up Leo, who was lying on the desk.
“Leo, is that what you were thinking? Were you jealous?”
-Meow!
“Shall I bring you some tuna you like or fish soup made by grinding filefish? Would eating that at least make you feel better?”
Lorencia rubbed her nose against Leo’s nose, loving it. She was moved by Leo, who was jealous because he liked her. Will there be another being who likes me this much?
“Leo, thank you for liking me. I like Leo too. So please don’t be jealous.”
-Meow!
Even after that, there were frequent interferences from Leo, but Lorencia reviewed all the letters she had learned from Teishar. And the more she studied, the more she felt that studying was very interesting.
Every time she studied, she felt her stress mysteriously relieved. It made her heart ache that she had lived without knowing this joy.
Lorencia, who had now learned the joy of studying, smiled while touching the amethyst necklace around her neck.
“The lady really cherishes that amethyst necklace.”
Amelin asked, looking at Lorencia’s amethyst necklace.
“Actually, this amethyst necklace is a keepsake left to me by my mother.”
Amelin didn’t pry further about the necklace and just nodded.
Amelin brought Lorencia, who had finished reviewing the letters to some extent, a cup of cocoa topped with lots of marshmallows.
“Cocoa with whipped cream on top is good, but cocoa with marshmallows is also so sweet and delicious.”
Amelin made sure Lorencia ate not only sweet snacks but also various vegetable dishes during meals to make her gain weight healthily. Fortunately, Lorencia didn’t avoid any food and ate well. The only regrettable thing was that Lorencia, who had a small stomach, couldn’t eat a lot. But Amelin had no intention of force-feeding her.
The stomach can be slowly expanded.
“Yesterday, you studied course meals, so today we will have a time to review while actually eating the course meals.”
Lorencia swallowed her saliva at the course meal she was eating for the first time. She had perfectly memorized the theories about course meals that Amelin and Evan had taught her. No problem. But isn’t practice different?
“Would you like to tell me the order in which the dishes are served?”
“Based on the appetizers, first comes a light soup and bread. Next, fish dishes, sherbet, and meat dishes are served in order, followed by the main course.”
“What are the main appetizers?”
“For appetizers, there are two types: warm dishes or cold dishes to stimulate the appetite, and one of these is served.”
In response to Amelin’s question, Lorencia added an explanation that the soup, either a potage or a consommé, plays a role in warming and protecting the stomach.
“What comes after the meat dish?”
“After eating the main course, you eat a salad, and finally, dessert and tea are served as a palate cleanser. However, depending on the preference of the person eating, the dessert may be replaced with wine and cheese instead of tea.”
“Very good, Lady Lorencia. You reviewed excellently. How can you be so smart?”
Lorencia’s shoulders tensed at Amelin’s applause and praise. She felt proud of herself for diligently reviewing well.
“What should you be careful about when eating soup?”
“You said that when eating soup, you shouldn’t make a slurping sound and shouldn’t purposely blow on it with your mouth to cool it down.”
“Since you remember the theory well, you just need to put it into practice. Evan, please pull out the chair so Lady Lorencia can sit.”
Lorencia let out a big sigh. She learned yesterday that even sitting in a chair requires etiquette. And the more she studied etiquette, the more she finally understood why people had despised her in her previous future life.
They weren’t mocking her because she was an illegitimate child. It was because she lacked the refinement and manners that a noble lady should possess.
“Sit with your tailbone deep in the chair and your back straight, and slightly bend your upper body when sitting. You’re bending your waist too much right now. Please lift your upper body slightly.”
“Like this?”
“Yes. In that state, you should slowly sit down while putting strength in your thighs. 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds. Well done.”
In the previous future, there was no opportunity to study like this. But not anymore. She will no longer be despised. To do that, she intends to desperately study and learn etiquette.
“I didn’t know sitting in a chair was this difficult. I learned it for the first time.”
“But you’re doing well.”
Evan placed a plate of food on the table in front of Lorencia, who was seated in the chair. And he began to explain what kind of food it was.
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…?
