“Please say that’s not true, please! Otherwise, I might get really angry.”
“…….”
Ranamun didn’t respond with an indifferent face. But Duke Atraxil let out a sigh of relief. Seeing him stay quiet, he must have said something.
‘Well, given that temperament, would he stay still after hearing blunt words?’
Even though he was a prince, he was soon to become a concubine. The likelihood of squabbling between future consorts becoming a national issue was low. It was better to suppress any issues in advance, within a scale that wasn’t problematic. For the future too.
Finally arriving at the door, Ranamun stood still for a moment with his hand on the doorknob. Then, after a silence, he spoke.
“Just like my father said, he is a foxlike guy.”
“Yes, I told you. So be careful, Ranamun.”
“As soon as I become the King’s companion, I will chase him away. Don’t worry.”
Whether that was possible or not, Duke Atraxil nodded in agreement for now.
“Yes. That’s right. But… Ranamun, you really won’t tell me what you said to Prince Klein?”
[This is the time separator]“An ignorant foreigner? A parasite that will ruin our country?”
Klein slammed his pillow, grinding his teeth.
“Where does that insolent little bastard come from…!”
Seeing his rage, the attendant who had followed Klein from Karisen asked with concern.
“Did you really say that, Your Highness?”
“Yes. He said it with his eyes wide open and an unpleasant voice.”
Klein fixed his annoyingly slipping hair with a pin, but he still tossed about on the bed, not calming down.
“To have to live with such a thing! With such an insolent guy!”
The attendant sighed. Just a few words exchanged and already such a scene. Could he really spend the next six months quietly? The worry was already mounting.
“Still, it’s fortunate.”
“Fortunate! That insolent guy insulted me and left, you call that fortunate! I heard I’m a parasite that will ruin the country, and you say that’s fortunate!”
“You held yourself back, didn’t you, Your Highness?”
“…….”
“A month ago, your fist would have flown out immediately. You held back, truly, you have become dignified.”
Klein sighed and waved his hand.
“It’s no use flattering me.”
Even though it was genuine relief, not flattery, the attendant shut his mouth, feeling awkward. He couldn’t tell Klein how anxious he’d been about his volatile temperament ever since they’d left Karisen.
“Even if we live in the harem together, the rooms are different. I will inform the chief eunuch that there was a little trouble between Sir Ranamun and Your Highness today, and ask him to assign rooms as far apart as possible.”
“Do that.”
Klein answered weakly, hugging his pillow and grinding his teeth.
“Anyway, that little bastard. Watch out. As soon as I become the King’s companion, I will strip him naked and chase him out.”
[This is the time separator]At the same time, as Klein and Ranamun were each bracing for a similar future, the Knight Commander Sonnaught, who had received Latil’s secret order to find out about the letter thief, was in Melrose, where his father was a lord.
During the halfyear when Prince Tila illegally occupied the palace, Latil stayed in the Melrose territory, to check whether letters had been lost during this period.
“Are you talking about the letters written around the middle of 515?”
“Emperor, that is, the letters that came to Princess Latrasil at the time.”
After taking out a big box and a dense ledger and checking various things, the administrator who works in the castle said,
“Let’s see… there are 321 letters delivered to Emperor Latrasil, and there are 125 letters that have been ‘screened’ and rejected.”
“Screened?”
“Yes. The ones that have been screened are the ones that don’t have important seals, and the official letters that have been sent, or letters sent with the seals of foreign royal families or nations, have not been screened.”
“Who did the screening?”
“I did.”
The administrator awkwardly raised his hand.
“Of course, I had permission to do so.”
“What was the content?”
“I made sure to censor only minimally. Your Majesty, no, all the letters that were not delivered to you were insulting letters sent by those who support Prince Klein. I couldn’t deliver such things to you.”
The manager went to the other partition and brought back a thick pile of papers.
“Most of those who sent such letters used anonymity or pseudonyms, but sometimes fools boldly put their names on it. Whether anonymous or not, an investigation has been conducted on all those who sent such letters.”
Inside the pile was a list of those who sent the letters, the letters themselves, and the contents of the investigation into them. Given the sporadic empty spaces, it seemed the investigations were not fully completed yet.
Sonnaught gave his instructions while closing the file.
“This is not all 125. Bring all the censored letters, the list of the presumed senders, the investigation logs, related ledgers, and the ‘undelivered’ 321 letters to my room.”
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…?
