“No matter how much I think about it, my unconditional kindness towards you is because I like you, Lady Lorencia.”
Teishar spoke with the same sincerity as before.
“It’s not a different kind of like. I am confessing my heart to you as a man, Lady Lorencia.”
Lorencia suddenly took a deep breath.
“It seems you were quite surprised by my confession, Lady Lorencia.”
Teishar, who was now sitting next to Lorencia, whispered in a voice as sweet as cocoa.
“Yes.”
“It’s definitely not because of my duty as a snake that I treat you well.”
“I know.”
The duty of the Black Snake of the Earth is to protect the child of the Goddess Ella. However, everything Teishar did for her went beyond the scope of protection and was pure kindness.
“I thought unconditional love only existed in a mother’s love. But I realized there is such a thing as unconditional love besides that. Otherwise, I couldn’t understand all of Sir Teishar’s kindness.”
Teishar’s eyes curved beautifully, as if she understood his sincerity.
“I sincerely like you. Will you accept my confession?”
Lorencia was literally at a loss for words. She felt embarrassed, her heart was beating like crazy, and she had mixed feelings of joy at Teishar’s confession.
“If you didn’t like my confession, I will politely apologize.”
“Rather than disliking it, I was very surprised.”
Upon hearing that she didn’t dislike it, Teishar relaxed his tense expression as if relieved. Originally, he planned to confess in a fancy place, but his overflowing emotions couldn’t be controlled. He couldn’t bear it if he didn’t say he liked her.
“I asked that question hoping to make Sir Teishar uncomfortable, but I ended up getting a confession.”
Why did this happen? Lorencia thought.
“That’s no longer important now.”
Teishar chuckled softly and kissed Lorencia’s temple. He naturally took her hand.
“What’s important to me is that Lady Lorencia didn’t reject me.”
Lorencia bit her lip because of Teishar’s endless sweet words and gestures. What is this feeling of being embarrassed but not disliking it? She doesn’t mind being by his side.
Lorencia asked herself. Do you like him? The answer to the question was ‘yes’. Otherwise, she couldn’t describe her feelings for Teishar. Above all, she didn’t dislike his confession.
When Teishar kissed her forehead, her heart fluttered and she liked it. In the previous future, she frowned even when Ruans just touched her. Each time, she was hurt and had to walk on eggshells around him.
Teishar was different from Ruans. After kissing her temple and forehead, he showed a very happy expression. His face, smiling with satisfaction after endlessly kissing her temple and forehead like a bird pecking at feed, was incredibly beautiful. It was a face she wanted to keep being kissed by and keep looking at.
If she kissed Teishar too, would he make such a beautiful expression?
‘I want to have the same expression as him.’
“How can I refuse.”
Lorencia reached out and caressed his cheek. At the honey-sweet voice that seemed to directly flow into his ears, Teishar closed his eyes and entrusted his face and body to Lorencia’s hand.
With a soft kiss, Lorencia’s lips touched Teishar’s forehead, and their gazes met as he slowly opened his red eyes.
They were close enough to feel each other’s breath. For a moment, it felt like time had stopped.
“I like you too, Sir Teishar.”
Lorencia stroked his temples and cheeks. His eyes and cheeks flushed red like the evening sunset.
“Please be my lover, Sir Teishar Spencer.”
[This is the timeline separator]Teishar still felt like it was a dream that he and Lorencia had become lovers.
It felt like he was in a dream. He never imagined he would hear the words “I like you, Sir Teishar”. Had he ever been this happy since he was born? Absolutely not.
When Evan and Ameline heard that Lorencia and Teishar had become lovers, they were very pleased.
Asked Evan, about the wedding date of the lovers who had just started dating.
Ameline’s words about starting wedding preparations from now on were pleasing to hear.
Not only had they become lovers, but Teishar also made a date promise with Lorencia, so he felt like he could fly to the sky.
“Did something good happen? Duke Teishar.”
Adrian tilted his head at the sight of Teishar, who was looking at documents and suddenly resting his chin on his hand, smiling as if he had thought of something.
“Something dreamlike happened.”
“Something dreamlike?”
“Ah, I didn’t tell you.”
It was just the moment when he wanted to brag about becoming lovers with Lorencia. If Lorencia wanted, he could have kept their relationship a secret, but Lorencia said it was okay not to hide it.
“I made a date with Lady Lorencia.”
“What? A date? Did I hear the word date correctly? Duke Teishar.”
Surprise was evident in Adrian’s eyes. He thought Teishar would suffer from love denial.
“Yes. It’s a date.”
“A date between lovers?”
“We’re going on a date as lovers.”
“In other words, you confessed to Lady Lorencia and became lovers?”
“That’s right. My lover is now Lady Lorencia.”
After saying that, Teishar started giggling. He looked happy enough to die.
Lorencia’s words kept coming to his mind. Teishar kept giggling. Seeing Lorencia saying she liked him, he suddenly covered his mouth. Otherwise, he almost screamed with joy.
He was so excited that he couldn’t sleep properly. Even if he returned to the Poloid Empire like this, he thought about frequently visiting the Di Glosten Duchy using his status as her lover, and felt a little relieved.
From now on, he plans to entrust all the busy work at the duchy to his father Magus and go to the Di Glosten Duchy every day.
“I feel like my heart will stop from happiness.”
“Congratulations.”
“By the way, there was something I wanted to ask you, Your Highness Adrian.”
“I’ll let you know to the extent that I can.”
“Could you tell me about famous dating spots in the capital of the Isuter Empire? It would be great if you could also let me know the location of the dessert cafe you went to with Princess Charlotte last time.”
“I’ll tell you, Duke Teishar.”
“Thank you.”
Adrian said he would let him know everything he wanted. As Poloid’s chief of staff, Teishar seemed to have no interest in anything other than exterminating monsters. He thought he was a person whose expression never changed, but he was wrong. He changed after meeting her. He treated Lorencia with various expressions. Anyone could see he was a man in love.
“Congratulations on achieving your first love, Duke Teishar.”
[This is the timeline separator]Ruans couldn’t believe it even after reading the report that came up.
“My monster and Duke Spencer are lovers?”
“Yes. It wasn’t just one or two people who saw Duke Spencer attending to Lady Lorencia at the dessert cafe that only lovers go to.”
“Don’t say nonsense. Does this make sense?”
He swept the things on the desk with both arms and dropped them to the floor. Even though things suddenly shattered, no one reacted easily.
Black ink seeped into the carpet on the floor between the shattered ink bottles.
“Calm down, Prince Ruans.”
“Do I look like I can calm down?”
Ruans kept throwing and breaking things on the floor, shouting. The floor was becoming a mess. Catlien, his aide, suppressed a sigh inwardly and kept trying to calm Ruans down.
After destroying enough things, Ruans sat down, exhaling rough breaths.
“What was my monster thinking, wandering around outside? Catlien.”
“I don’t know either…”
Catlien couldn’t finish his words. With a thud, he was hit in the head by an object Ruans threw. And soon blood flowed from Catlien’s head.
He could have easily avoided the things Ruans threw if he wanted to. But with Ruans’ temperament, he must see blood. Catlien knew well that Ruans would hit less only if he showed a painful and suffering look.
“Don’t say things like you don’t know!”
Taking out a handkerchief from his bosom, Catlien wiped the blood flowing from his forehead and cheek. Ever since he took on the role of assisting and protecting Ruans, he had been subjected to this violence. Ruans had an innately brutal and violent personality. Even when good things happen, he throws things, and when bad things occur, he destroys things.
He raises his voice and frowns. The one he serves can be like that. Everyone understands. But there was one thing Catlien couldn’t understand about Ruans. The person who taught him this way of speaking was Ruans’ maternal grandfather, Daniel. His daughter, Concubine Pelena, also uses an effective way of speaking that drives people into a corner, so talking to her makes one lose confidence.
“You have an expression like you don’t know what you did wrong, Duke Catlien.”
“I shouldn’t have said I don’t know, but I did. I’m sorry, Prince Ruans.”
“Yes. The reason I’m angry is because of you, Duke Catlien.”
Ruans blames everything that goes wrong on others. He never admitted his own faults. In other words, he doesn’t self-reflect.
“Did you have to ruin my mood by bringing such crappy news?”
Talking to him erodes one’s self-esteem and is very tiring.
“Dating that trash Spencer? Where are you telling me these false rumors! Lorencia loves me. That monster needs me. She’s mine. But dating trash Duke Spencer?”
Ruans began nervously biting his thumbnail.
“Prince Ruans. You shouldn’t bite your nails.”
“So. Why did you create a situation that makes me bite my nails like this?”

Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation (Female-dominant)
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.
Synopsis:
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.
He even had his eyes on another woman.
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.
Su Mu expressed her disdain.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
She also wanted to embrace Xie Yi, who had silently stayed by her side in her previous life and committed suicide by taking poison after her death.
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.”
