She could have easily found out his name, but then everyone would know that Latil had been paying attention to him. Including him.
Because she did not want this, Latil remembered the face of that suspicious man and deliberately did not ask his name.
“It would be Paul.”
“Okay, then attach someone to that Paul and keep him under surveillance.”
“How long should I order? If it’s going to be a longterm battle, it’s better to attach two or three people.”
“It won’t take long. He’ll come to me soon.”
“?”
“Let me know when he moves out of the guard’s quarters.”
“Are you going to catch him?”
“No.”
Latil firmly denied it, then drained the remaining coffee and laughed.
“I’m going to track him myself.”
“!”
[This is the time separator]It was not just that Paul, the guard, who had made the tomb that way. Even though it was easy to access the tomb, he couldn’t automatically avoid the gaze of others.
Furthermore, that huge graffiti that completely covered one side of the small building. Did he draw it alone during the shift change?
‘Impossible.’
However, besides him, all the other guards just felt anxious about who the culprit was when Latil shook them, and none of them reacted.
Then the other culprit could be another guard or another insider. Because of this, Latil intended to track the culprit herself.
It seemed faster to just come forward in this situation. The problem is…
“Are we on a date?”
“No.”
Somehow, she ended up bringing Tasir with her.
Latil sighed, deliberately looking in the other direction to avoid looking at Tasir, who was sparkling his eyes with his arms folded.
Tasir knew about the tomb of the previous emperor, the suspicious letter, and even Prince Tilla. He didn’t know about the viceroy, but he was a person who knew a lot.
In addition, he was the leader of the notorious assassination group, so his stealth skills were impressive. There were many reasons why Latil brought Tasir.
Please be helpful.
‘It’s really noisy.’
However, as Tasir spoke to her while they were tracking, her concentration was scattered. Latil regretted bringing Tasir a little.
“It’s okay. It’s less suspicious if we talk and move like this. And there’s someone who’s already tracking.”
The person Tasir referred to as ‘already tracking’ was an assassin from Black Forest, the one Latil had told to stick to Paul.
In case of any situation, he continued to track in stealth, and Latil and Tasir were pretending to be pedestrians in plain clothes.
However, less than 5 minutes after Tasir finished speaking. Paul, who was walking fast ahead, suddenly stopped and turned around abruptly.
Latil and Tasir almost simultaneously dodged to the side. After catching their breath and sticking their heads out, Paul was walking again.
But by constantly looking back, it seemed like he suspected that someone was following him.
“We’ll be noticed right away if we follow him now.”
Tasir clicked his tongue and muttered after seeing this. Latil agreed with his words.
“Shall we spend some time here and then go? Or shall we take a shortcut and go ahead?”
Believing that Tasir would be more adept at concealment, Latil asked him for advice. In response, he appeared to contemplate for a moment before pointing somewhere with his thumb.
“How about spending time over there? It would appear more natural.”
Latil looked in the direction Tasir was pointing. Almost three stories high, a luxurious building with a flashing silver sign stood.
And the name written on the sign was…
“Anghes Trading Company?”
This was where Tasir was the heir.
[This is the time separator]Latil had seen the owner of the Anghes Trading Company several times when she was the princess. She had seen him at the swearingin ceremony when Tasir entered the harem, and again at subsequent meals.
However, due to her position, the owner of the Anghes Trading Company dared not look closely at the emperor. Probably because of this, he did not recognize Latil, whose hat was pulled low over her eyes.
“My son!”
Seeing Tasir, the owner of the Anghes Trading Company happily rushed forward, peppering him with all sorts of questions without even giving a glance at Latil What brings you here? Why didn’t you say you were coming? Is it alright for you to be out? Have you been in any accidents?
While this was happening, Latil pushed her hat lower and looked around the interior of the company.
‘It’s sparkling.’
Indeed, it was an interior worthy of being called the most successful company in the country. Latil suddenly remembered that Tasir was the heir to the company.
Of course, she had known even without remembering. Ever since she found out that he was the leader of a band of assassins, that image was stronger than that of an heir to a company.
And his face looked like a drug lord, too.
After talking with Tasir for nearly 30 minutes, the owner finally glanced at Latil and asked his son.
“Who is this person?”
“She is a servant His Majesty assigned to me, Father.”
“What about Hyurlan?”
“Hyurlan can’t do everything by himself.”
“That’s true.”
The owner’s interest in Latil ended there.
After that, the owner suggested that since Tasir was there, he should have a meal with his favorite foods. He led them to a large dining room, including Latil, but he did not even glance at her, pouring out all sorts of stories to Tasir alone.
However, she was not left without food, so Latil enjoyed the owner’s stories while eating a crispy apple pudding and egg biscuits.
“Tasir. You said you’ve never shared a bed with His Majesty.”
“No, how did you know that, Father?”
“I heard it from Hyurlan.”
“That gossipy….”
“At the swearingin ceremony, I saw that no one was as handsome as you.”
“Well, that’s because you’re my father.”
“Your mother would agree with me.”
“Well, that’s because she’s my mother.”
“Anyway, you’re handsome. And you’re uniquely handsome. And you can’t even share a blanket with His Majesty with that face… it’s pathetic.”
As Latil was munching on her biscuits, she secretly laughed at Tasir being scolded by his father.
‘He always acts so clever in front of me. But he can’t move an inch in front of his father.’
“But I often go on dates with His Majesty, Father.”
‘Where did that lie come from?’
“A date? Really?”
“Yes, just recently.”
As he pretended to sip his apple juice, Tasir winked at Latil. It was clear that he was referring to their current situation.
It seems I was wrong about him not being able to move in front of his father. Latil shook her head slightly and put another biscuit into her mouth.
“That’s good then. But I’m still worried, Tasir.”
“Don’t worry. Passionate love tends to cool down quickly. His Majesty and I are slowly building our affection, so I’m sure he’ll grant me a bedroom soon.”
“Since you’re here, I’ll give you some good things. Take them.”
“Things?”
“There’s a powder that makes your skin look like a pearl. Tell Hyurlan to apply it once every three days.”
“Yes.”
“There are also clothes that can look more provocative than being naked. I’ll pack a few for you, try sneaking them on when you visit His Majesty.”
“Yes, sir.”
When Tasir responded with an ambiguous expression, Latil covered her mouth with her hand and bit her lip to suppress a laugh. Oh dear, father…
“Ah, right! How about if you pick at the loose threads on your clothes and then ‘accidentally’ drop them when the time is right?”
“I wonder…”
As Tasir again looked to Latil for guidance, she ultimately could not hold back any longer and came out to sit outside the dining room. She wanted not to laugh, but her shoulders shook uncontrollably.
‘The wine merchant thinks just like Tasir.’
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…?
