On behalf of the young master, who was leisurely toying with his quill, Count Ert tossed the letter he was holding. It was a letter from the Empress. As he picked up the letter he had thrown in a fit of anger, Count Ert became enraged again.
“Your little brother is still young. If someone has to participate, it’s only natural that you, as the older brother, participate. My good son, elevate the dignity of the royal family and please come back safely.”
When the atmosphere was created that at least one of the royal family should participate in this punitive battle, the Empress immediately rushed to the Emperor in tears. Of course, it was after she had coordinated her story with her noble allies.
Edwin is still young, and it was said that the Crown Prince’s participation would look much better than the Prince’s. There were petitions from the Empress, who was upset, and many ministers who had lined up with the Prince’s side.
It was a pathetic excuse when thinking about how Ludwig was sent to the North for inspection at a much younger age than the current Edwin.
Ludwig didn’t particularly resist. As an emperor, unless the Crown Prince himself refused, he could not deny a successor who seemed compliant. In the end, it was decided that the Crown Prince, not the Prince, would set out.
He turned his head and looked out the window. Wondering when he could meet his thief friend at the secret base.
“Think positively.”
“In this situation? Are you talking about this situation where the whole palace is pushing you to risk your life?”
Ludwig picked up the letter crumpled miserably in Count Ert’s grasp and threw it into the fireplace.
“Count.”
“Yes!”
“I don’t think I ever said it with my own mouth.”
“Yes?”
“I want to become Emperor.”
“That’s obvious……?”
“If I had to sit on the throne for the sake of my life until now, I have now developed ambition because there’s something I want to protect.”
“……”
“But as you know, I don’t have any support. Noble families like Artina and Kasis are loyal to the royal family, not me.”
On the chessboard next to him, Ludwig rolled the ‘king’ in his hand.
“For Debongt, I’d have to accept Youngae as the Empress, which would be no different from swallowing poison, and other helpful families are in line with the Empress and her family, the Count of Iser.”
“But Your Highness……”
“I know my situation better than you think. And my situation is more pitiful than you think.”
People in the world said he was maintaining the position of Crown Prince with just his overwhelming royal authority, without a single support group due to political strife. But nobody would have known. How much of a struggle he had to put up with behind the scenes.
His precarious position remained, but there was one big change. It was different from the days when he was driven by circumstances. It was different from the path he had to leave. It was different from the day he chose to live.
Since there’s something to protect, even entering the battlefield to protect it seemed exciting.
“I’ll have to show you over and over again so you remember clearly.”
The ‘king’ with a black crown was thrown in the air and soon fell into Ludwig’s hand. The boy, who held the bloody crown alone, laughed.
“Who suits the throne better.”
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…?
