Between Carlein, Latil, and Guesta, silence hung. The palace doctor approached Latil quietly, inspecting her physical condition.
“……”
After a careful examination, the palace doctor finally lowered his hand and spoke with relief.
“It seems your body is alright.”
Latil looked down at her bare feet and asked,
“Could it be that I have somnambulism or something similar?”
She was sure she had fallen asleep in her bedroom. She didn’t even know how she got here, and she hadn’t even put on shoes. But the doctor was saying that she was alright. She wasn’t in pain, but she couldn’t comprehend it.
No, actually, there were other things that seemed strange as well.
‘Was there no one to stop me when I walked here barefoot?’
Wouldn’t anyone worry if the empress wandered around barefoot like a zombie? Even if they couldn’t stop her, they would have followed her, but there was no one like that. That was also strange.
“Have you had these symptoms before?”
“No. It’s the first time.”
“Then it’s difficult to diagnose as somnambulism yet.”
“Is that so?”
There was no place that was hurt, so she couldn’t even ask for more treatment, and above all, it was strange that she was staggering barefoot outside the palace.
“Observe the situation and call me later.”
With no choice, Latil sent the palace doctor away and slowly stood up. Then, Guesta and Carlein simultaneously grabbed Latil’s right and left arm.
Never mind, she was about to say, but Latil looked down at her bare feet and closed her mouth. No, if she went back to the bedroom in this state, it would cause a commotion.
She hated the fuss. It was also a problem that rumors were circulating that the emperor was acting strange.
“Guesta. Carlein. Whose room is closer from here?”
She thought Guesta, who appeared first, but surprisingly, Carlein raised his hand. Latil held out both arms to him.
“Carry me.”
[This is the time separator]“I’m sorry.”
On the way to his room, being carried by Carlein, Latil suddenly apologized, and Carlein, who had been silently walking, slightly turned his head to the side.
“What are you sorry for?”
Are you apologizing because you asked me to carry you while I have a woman I love? Latil answered only in her heart.
She couldn’t pretend to know about Carlein’s past lover because it was not something he had told her directly, but something she had glimpsed through his nightmares.
She wasn’t sure if Carlein was trying to forget those memories, but there was no need to pick at the wound.
As Latil did not answer, Carlein did not ask any more questions and slowly walked ahead again.
All this while, Latil was looking at his remarkably stable back, his wide back perfect for leaning on, and before she knew it, she had closed her eyes halfway and rested her head there.
Strangely, when she saw his back, her eyelids grew heavy and sleep came.
‘Is it because his back is wide? But why did the fox mask save me twice? At first, I thought he saved me to confuse me. But does he need to save me from their headquarters? If it was all a dream, why did I dream that the fox mask helped me?’
While pondering the events of the day, she soon drifted off to sleep.
“Master?”
When he heard a small sigh from behind, Carlein cautiously called out to Latil. But when there was no reply, he quietly smiled and whispered in a barely audible voice.
“Do you remember? All sorts of flowers blooming brightly on both sides of the stairs, and our house connected to the lake under the stairs.”
“……”
“You used to dip your feet there and splash around……”
Carlein, who had been mumbling to himself, soon stopped talking and smiled lonesomely.
‘Of course. You wouldn’t remember.’
[This is the time separator]A presence that was totally unfitting was wandering around the dark and cold castle. It was a man wearing a soft, white rabbit mask.
Despite his towering height, broad shoulders, and the glimpse of his massive chest muscles, thanks to the large rabbit mask covering his entire face, he looked adorable and lovable.
“So you were here.”
After wandering for a while, the man finally found what he was looking for and stopped. It was a pile of blankets in a small cave.
“Is that you?”
When Rabbit Mask lifted the top two layers of the quilt, another person revealed underneath. It was a figure who had covered their head with their top garment.
“You must have finally lost your mind.”
When Rabbit Mask incredulously lifted the garment with two fingers, finally, a cute fox mask appeared from within.
As the damp air came in, the Fox Mask giggled and murmured,
“I can smell them here.”
From its voice, it was evident that Fox Mask was laughing. The mask was so cute that it looked as adorable as a real fox. However, upon seeing this, Rabbit Mask felt chills run down their arm and clicked their tongue.
“You know? You’re somewhat perverted.”
“Do you think the Lord likes perverts?”
However, no matter what Rabbit Mask retorted, Fox Mask didn’t react.
“You’re not even denying it. You crazy bastard.”
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…?
