“What in the world is that?” Latil stared in surprise at the woman with the axe.
Latil had once seen Tlara, unsure whether it was reality or a dream, already dead once. But the state of that woman with the axe was completely different from Tlara.
Tlara, when she was alive, didn’t look much different to a stranger than someone who had died and come back. She even conversed with the rabbit mask and worried about her mother.
But that woman was different. Anyone could tell she was a person who had died and come back.
Skin without a trace of vitality. Pale lips devoid of color. Even the palest person by birth wouldn’t have such skin.
Above all, her eyes. Her pupils were out of focus, and her overly enlarged eyes were chilling enough to make a timid person scream.
Indeed, all kinds of screams were coming from around the window where the woman with the axe appeared.
The people standing there fell over each other, scrambling away from the window as far as possible.
But amidst the screams, there were voices recognizing the woman with the axe.
“Redler?”
One of them was Aini.
“Redler?”
Suddenly, Aini, who was being pushed away from the window by her maids and escorts, shouted out loud.
Starting from her, whispers flowed loudly among the maids, “It’s really Miss Redler!” “Oh my god.”
As the woman with the axe stood still, looking around, people who had been running around aimlessly stopped and started to examine the dreadful corpse properly.
“Didn’t Miss Redler die a while ago?”
“Didn’t they say the body disappeared at the funeral?”
Whispered voices could be heard from all around. It seemed that she was a noble young lady known by her name in Karisen.
Latil also recalled the story of a maid. The maid who was closest to Empress Aini. The maid who disappeared after her death, and Aini thought Heum had killed her. It seems that corpse is that maid.
‘So that young lady also resurrected after death? Like Heum or Tlara?’
But still, it was strange.
‘Tlara, though I was confused whether I saw her in a dream or reality, looked normal until she opened her mouth and charged at me. Why is that woman in such a bad state?’
Just then.
“Miss Redler?”
A nobleman standing near the corpse cautiously addressed Redler. Expecting her to be the same as before, except for her gruesome appearance, as she only stood motionless inside.
But as soon as he spoke, the corpse that had been standing still like a broken doll swung the large axe from right to left.
“Ah!”
The person who spoke barely dodged the axe and rolled to the side. But when blood came out from the shoulder grazed by the axe, the corpse, excited by the smell of blood, started to run wild.
“Grab her!”
“Kill her!”
“No, capture her alive!”
As the axe began to destroy all kinds of objects with a ‘bang bang’ sound, the knights who had been watching the situation nearby rushed over.
But they couldn’t respond swiftly to the rapidly changing orders. They didn’t know whether to treat the moving corpse as a deceased noble corpse or a horrifying monster.
In the meantime, the corpse with the axe struck down the closest knight, dropped the axe while the knight was defending, and bit into the neck of another knight with her bare hands.
“Ah!”
As the wounded knight crouched down clutching his neck, the knights began an aggressive and sharp attack, realizing it was not the time to capture her alive.
Thankfully, they were able to suppress the corpse before long as the monster was only one.
“Is that a zombie?”
Latil, who had been watching the spectacle, asked Carlein in a lowered voice.
“It seems so.”
Carlein also responded, watching the knights force a gag into the corpse’s mouth and bind her hands and legs tightly.
“They say that flesheating ghouls are hard to distinguish from humans by appearance.”
“Do you think Prince Heum turned that young lady into a zombie?”
“That’s possible.”
“Then… so then,” Latil swallowed her dry saliva, taking her gaze off the zombie and slowly looking towards Carlein.
“From what I’ve investigated, zombies are infectious, you know?”
The moment her words ended, a scream that tore the air resounded.
“Aaaaah! Your Majesty!”
Latil quickly looked over there.
‘Aini!’
The noble couple who had fled from the axewielding zombie earlier. The man among them was now running towards Aini, who was nearby, with his mouth wide open.
The woman, with a disbelieving expression, was watching the lover she had sweetly spoken to and escaped from the crisis with just moments ago.
But before the nobleman could reach Aini, a sword, thrown at high speed, lodged itself in his forehead.
The nobleman who was hit by the sword fell to the ground and squirmed. Aini, with wide eyes, looked down at the spectacle.
“Are you okay?”
As the approaching Hyacinth asked, Aini, merely having been asked the question, shuddered and leaned on the wall as if clawing it.
“You must be okay then.”
Having seen that, Hyacinth drew his own conclusion, pulling out the sword that had been stuck in the zombie, looking around with furrowed brows.
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…?
