From the firm rejection in the light of her name that flowed through her lips, Lugaard let out a bitter smile.
“I know, Miss. I’m not daring to ask you for anything. I just came to Conwell with you obediently to express my gratitude before leaving.”
“Last day?”
“I’m planning to go back to my hometown where my mother is. Lady said she would give a large sum if you and the lady return to Isnark, but I don’t understand why everyone can’t give me money.”
Saying that, Lugaard laughed, and Skaha laughed along. It was quite amusing that both Fledasna and the lady wanted to give money to Lugaard.
“Make sure to hold onto that person and endure it well. If it’s tough, you can run away to where I am.”
Skaha smiled slyly, and finally, she accepted the box that she hadn’t received until now.
“Don’t go, Lugaard. You know, right?”
She responded that way and smiled at each other.
The moment the door opened, leading to the sponsorship, was then.
As the noble crowd, overlooking Emperor Attila and Duke Blachnart, emerged from the sponsorship, they momentarily stopped their steps upon seeing Skaha and Lugaard.
Boom[Dash]! Bang! Bang!
A colorful spectacle unfolded in the night sky behind Skaha and Lugaard.
Oh, Princess Erwin? She didn’t even show her face at the banquet… Who is that next to her?
Although not openly spoken, the whispered conversations hinted at suspicions. The atmosphere was reminiscent of being caught enjoying a secret gathering.
Even if there were no signs, Skaha couldn’t help but see Casar in her eyes.
His expression was cold and firm.
Skaha felt her heart trembling with the thought that he knew everything. In the midst of her confusion, Casar approached and smoothly took Skaha’s hand.
“Erwin.”
Lugaard, after offering proper greetings to the Duke, handed Skaha’s hand to him without any hint of lingering emotions or expression. It was as if he had been temporarily entrusted with her as per the Duke’s instructions.
“Have you been waiting long?”
“Huh? No… It’s okay.”
With these forced words, Emperor Attila stepped forward.
“Even though I wanted to provide fireworks, leaving a lady standing for so long would be unpleasant. Lover, you were quite far away, claiming to be a lover.”
Someone responded like that, laughing off the comment.
Thanks to that, Skaha, who had enjoyed a secret rendezvous as a lover, had turned into a patient lady waiting for her fiancé in the sponsorship.
“Casar.”
Among the nobles watching the fireworks, Skaha called out his name with a soft voice.
“Yeah.”
His expression, which had been cold a while ago, was not directed at her. That much could be understood by looking at Casar now.
What was reflected in his slanted crimson eyes, the warmth felt in his large hands wrapped around her waist.
Somehow, she felt relieved. Regardless of the lady’s intentions or actions, if he trusted her, if he stayed by her side, it seemed okay.
“Thank you.”
Skaha’s words might have seemed out of place, or maybe because he always said that whenever he smiled like that, he let out a subdued laughter.
“I love you too.”
That night, guided by Casar’s hand, Skaha entered the main building’s bridal chamber.
As she admired the scenery of the satin curtains slowly inflating and deflating above the slightly open window, Skaha exclaimed.
Long couches finished with ivory sheets on light mahogany wood, small sofas adorned with luxurious armrests,
Transparent bed curtains hanging in the same color, or densely carved dressing tables—all in similar hues. Anyone would have been impressed.
“Wow[Dash], it’s so… charming?”
Skaha crossed the living room of the bridal chamber, smiling bashfully, and sat down on the makeup table.
“Doesn’t it suit your taste?”
“No, it suits my taste a lot. It’s just a bit surprising.”
“Surprising?”
“I thought you wouldn’t like this kind of thing.”
“If you like it, then I like it too.”
Well, considering that I’ve only glimpsed his space, such as Admiral Evan Barhur’s cabin or Lindcoem Mansion’s bedroom with minimal interior modifications.
Though she might not know, the ceiling painting in Lindcoem’s bedroom depicting a scene from the Ebern Myth would definitely not be to his liking.
“Is your room like this too?”
“No, my room is dull.”
Saying so, he gently pressed his lips against Skaha’s forehead.
“Lady Lindcoem seems to have paid a lot of attention to the new bedroom.”
“Tuan did it.”
Yeah, Skaha said, taking Casar’s hand as he briefly lifted his head.
“I don’t think your mother would want me to enter this new bedroom.”
“Well, what does that have to do with us?”
Casar raised Skaha’s hand, kissed the tips of her fingers. Somehow feeling odd, Skaha quickly turned her body, reaching for the rabbit doll that was placed on the dressing table.
“I thought I lost the rabbit…”
“It came from below the cliff.”
Skaha hugged Casar tightly, letting her tears flow.
“Just for a moment, let me go.”
At Skaha’s request, he chuckled and slowly took off his jacket.
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…?
