While Ranamun’s attendant was worried about the jealousy that was beginning to show signs from Ranamun, Guesta’s attendant also had his fair share of worries.
Of course, the direction of Guesta’s attendant’s concerns was completely different from that of Ranamun’s attendant.
“Sir Guesta… Lady Ranamun has already passed by.”
“I know.”
Guesta’s attendant looked at Guesta with anxious eyes. Ranamun had passed by some time ago. Guesta was still looking at the grass on the ground.
Sighing at the lack of any energy in his appearance, the attendant said,
“Then, please lift your head. Have you committed a sin?”
Guesta looked at his attendant with an awkward smile. His awkward expression looked truly soft and comforting.
The attendant sighed again. If I knew you could smile so adorably. Smiles are worth a million barts, but you always freeze in front of the person who should be seeing that smile.
“Did it fall far away?”
“It fell very far away. Don’t worry.”
Unaware of the attendant’s stifled frustration, Guesta finally continued on his way. The attendant grumbled and hurriedly followed him.
Perhaps he wasn’t entirely oblivious, Guesta heard that noise and gave the attendant a quick look before asking,
“Why? Do you have something to say?”
“Doesn’t Her Majesty treat you kindly, Sir Guesta?”
“Ah… Uh.”
Seeing Guesta’s extremely embarrassed expression, the attendant briefly wondered if he had said ‘kindly’ rather than ‘indecently.’
“She treats you kindly.”
As Guesta repeated his words, the attendant assured himself that he hadn’t spoken nonsense and continued.
“But I don’t understand why you shrink back so much. In the harem, Her Majesty’s affection is power, don’t you know?”
“Hmm.”
Between the weak and drained responses, the sound of branches and stones clashing underfoot could be heard.
“Duke Atraxil and Chancellor Rhodes are rivaling each other fiercely. I don’t understand why you are so downtrodden in front of Lady Ranamun. Don’t do that. It’s upsetting.”
Guesta awkwardly laughed again and played with his light brown hair, then his face turned red all by itself.
What’s making him so embarrassed now? As I looked at him wondering why he was blushing out of the blue, Guesta opened his mouth hesitantly.
“Although she is affectionate, we haven’t reached that… that stage yet. Her Majesty has never sought me out specially… We’ve only met in the library… Actually, I don’t really know.”
“Ah, are you talking about mating?”
“Tree! Be careful with your words…..”
“Then, should I call it nighttime activities?”
“Tree!”
Looking as if he couldn’t believe that such obscene words like ‘mating’ or ‘nighttime activities’ could be spoken, Guesta wore a shocked expression.
What have I said? This is incredibly watered down. The attendant tightly closed his mouth and frowned.
Although he had followed as an attendant, Tree was actually a peer guard for Guesta.
During Guesta’s childhood, Chancellor Rhodes had specifically selected a talented swordsman from among the commoner boys of a similar age to Guesta, considering his ‘sickly and weakhearted’ second son, and raised him as a guard. That was Tree.
Naturally, Tree attended many of Guesta’s classes, and he remembered clearly that Guesta had received sex education.
Guesta was somewhat embarrassed during sex education, but it wasn’t as serious as it is now. Why has he become more embarrassed than when he was a child?
At that moment, the attendant was surprised and quickly drew his sword, pushing Guesta down.
“Tree?”
Bewildered by the sudden force on his head, Guesta looked at the attendant while bowing. Instead of answering, there was a ‘tang’ sound as the attendant’s sword clashed with something.
Guesta stared blankly at the attendant. His face showed that he hadn’t yet understood the situation. The attendant, still holding his sword up, asked while being cautious of his surroundings.
“What flew at us, Sir Guesta?”
“Huh?”
“What fell. What I just struck.”
Guesta, who had been extremely slow in confirming the ‘fallen thing’, made a small surprised sound. “Ah.” It was a stone.
[This is the time separator]“Guesta was almost hit by a stone?”
After the state council meeting, Latrasil Valertain Tarium, also known as Latil, had lunch in the dining room, mulling over the letters and warnings carved into the tomb, when she was startled by a hastily presented report from the chamberlain.
“Is it true?”
The men in Latil’s harem had such distinct personalities that anyone could tell how extraordinary they were just by chatting for three minutes. She had expected them to fight fiercely amongst themselves. She even looked forward to it.
But, could it be that stones were already being thrown just a few days after their entry into the palace? Wouldn’t they throw a rock as time went by?
“Who threw it?”
When Latil asked, wiping her mouth with a napkin, the chamberlain answered with a sigh.
“It seems unknown.”
“Why don’t you know? Was there nobody around?”
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…?
