I stared at Matthias with a contemplative look. At that moment, a figure that seemed to suit him well came to mind. As his large hand wrapped around my waist, he pulled me close.
“The shining sword of Hilik, greetings to Your Highness Cahilren.”
Matthias, who stood beside me checking the person who approached first, quickly greeted with respect.
“They seem quite close.”
“Because we’re friends.”
In response to Cahilren’s revealed suspicion, I raised my elbow and looked up at him. Cahilren raised his eyebrows in a somewhat unpleasant manner.
“Let’s get on the carriage now.”
Matthias, who greeted me first before even Cahilren, took my hand and turned away. Escorting me on the carriage, Cahilren’s height became similar to mine, and he whispered as he looked down at me.
“What are you two talking so affectionately about?”
“Huh?”
“Wasn’t it unusual?” I chuckled, and then Cahilren, who had climbed into the carriage behind me, took a seat across from me.
“We didn’t talk about anything special. I just exchanged greetings.”
“Why would you smile while exchanging greetings?”
“Oh, I mentioned that I found it fascinating that you were wearing pants. I said I might end up riding horses. Matthias is not good at riding, he said. But why are you questioning me now?”
Cahilren, with his fists clenched and his chin up, showed an irritated expression.
“You’re narrower-minded than I thought.”
“I know. You don’t have to tell me again.”
As I answered directly, Cahilren’s eyebrows rose sharply. I cleared my throat, emitting a fake cough. Perhaps I was too straightforward.
Cahilren stared at me, his eyes rolling, and said, “Jealousy is strong, making it uncomfortable for you to look at another man, especially him.”
Cahilren turned his gaze slightly. Outside the window, I could see Matthias boarding another carriage.
Cahilren hesitated to accept Matthias accompanying him on this inspection, but it seemed inevitable due to the king’s order, especially for the ongoing investigation into the continuous heavy rain.
‘But why is Cahilren particularly wary of Matthias?’
Cahilren’s narrow-mindedness wasn’t something new, but I couldn’t figure out why he was especially prickly towards Matthias. The clumsy man’s expression changed when he was in front of Matthias.
‘Perhaps Matthias knows that he used to like me?’
Matthias probably didn’t mention such a thing, but being observant, he might have noticed. Matthias’s expressions were quite transparent.
Come to think of it, he was quite jealous even during the sword incident.
Torian’s face as he watched Matthias and me from the bookstore flashed through my mind. I burst into laughter at Cahilren’s similar expression to that time.
Even such a sight seemed cute, making it apparent that I genuinely liked this man.
“Why are you laughing?”
“I just realized I like you.”
At this sudden confession, Cahilren’s eyes widened, and he burst into forced laughter. Staring at me, he gave me a faint smile.
“You have the talent for charming people.”
Before I knew it, Cahilren, whose expression had loosened, came over and sat next to me. When I reached out my hand, he grabbed it and lightly kissed my knuckles.
Using the portal at the royal palace, we arrived in the Sizz region in the blink of an eye.
Passing through the path inside the portal and emerging on the other side, the sky, which was blue just a moment ago, turned dark, and heavy raindrops hit the window randomly.
That’s how Cahilren was able to visit the Herbert region within a day last time.
The suddenly changed scenery was fascinating, and I couldn’t hide my displeased expression for a moment.
I had heard that the flooding was severe, but it was definitely beyond the usual. Rainwater accumulated on the ground flowed like a fast river outside the window.
As Matthias had mentioned, if there were no magic on the carriage wheels, it could have slipped or fallen into a pothole in an instant. At that moment, the carriage jolted significantly, as if it had hit a stone. Cahilren wrapped his arm around my shoulders.
“Be careful.”
I nestled into Cahilren’s embrace, looking out into the dark scenery beyond the window, shrouded in thick fog and clouds, even though it was broad daylight.
“Hilick’s guardian and the radiant sword, I am honored to serve Lord Cahilren and Lady Vee.”
Viscount Sizz’s mansion was quite luxurious. It seemed prosperous, with the upper part being well-maintained, presumably managed by the Viscountess.
Seeing Viscountess Sizz again after a long time, she remained unchanged. She had an ordinary appearance, lacking the boldness to threaten Floria with account books.
“It’s a pleasure to see you again, Lady Vee.”
The Viscountess greeted me, holding the hem of her dress, and when our eyes met, she smiled sweetly.
‘What’s going on?’
I tilted my head in response to the subtle energy in the Viscountess’s expression.
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…?
