The first thin book she picked up seemed to have been written for those encountering magic for the first time.
All the information was interesting and informative.
What was particularly surprising was that the ancient Aryans referred to magic as ‘light’ and the ‘gift of the gods.’
Not as a subject to fear and avoid, like it is today.
‘In ancient times, there were truly many people who used magic.’
Suppressing her joyful heart as if to jump, she continued to read the spellbooks.
There were explanations about theory and notes on practical combat applications.
When she picked up the last book, a considerable amount of time had passed. Valentin still hadn’t returned.
She gently stroked the time-worn pages of the books.
‘I wonder how long Valentin has been living.’
As the sun completely set, attendants came in, illuminating the inside and outside of the tent with lights.
She looked at the magic books and papers on the table with a puzzled expression, but none of the attendants showed much interest. They seemed as indifferent as when looking at estate management ledgers.
“How would you like to handle the meal? Will you attend the banquet?”
The banquet. It was only now that she realized she had completely forgotten about Margaret.
“By any chance, has the carriage with the Duke’s emblem arrived? My handmaidens haven’t arrived yet, as expected.”
According to the plan, they should have followed closely behind her… There was definitely an issue.
Distracted by reading magic books, she had naturally forgotten something she should have taken care of.
Adele nervously bit her lip.
“Could there have been an accident or something?”
“As far as I know, there haven’t been any carriage accidents today. When a large group moves together, delays due to traffic are common.”
“Well, that’s a relief…”
“How about attending the banquet? If you haven’t recovered, we can prepare the meal here for you.”
“Is it okay if I don’t attend the banquet? I thought Her Majesty ordered everyone to attend.”
Adele grinned. The schedule for this hunting ground was directly advocated by the emperor, and Valentin reluctantly complied, right? However, the attendants behaved as if Adele had a different choice.
In response to Adele’s words, an attendant spoke with a puzzled expression.
“Of course, you should have, but…”
The attendant glanced at Adele’s clothes without looking into her eyes.
“The Duke explicitly requested that the visionnaire stays inside the tent as much as possible. Her Majesty eventually approved it.”
Adele felt her heart becoming much more at ease.
“In that case, if it’s not a problem, I’ll have the meal here. Bring it this way.”
“Understood.”
Soon, attendants returned with a tray containing white bread, apricot jam, soup, roasted beef, and fresh salad.
Seeing the food, her forgotten hunger surged back. She spread jam on the bread, enjoyed the salad, and savored the soup.
When she pushed away the empty tray and rang the bell, attendants came in to clear the dishes.
Adele requested a cup of strong tea from them, took it back to the spellbooks, and sat down again.
‘Now, the last book.’
The final book was thicker than the previous three combined.
Glancing at it sneakily, even at a quick glance, the densely packed characters on the bookshelf seemed enough to drain the ink.
With a slightly dizzy feeling, she quickly flipped through the bookshelf.
It seemed to be a book that explained in detail the principles and implementation of magic and its applications.
As Adele flipped through the bookshelf, she found that someone had filled the corners of the book with annotations.
‘The handwriting…’
Examining the book from different angles, Adele discovered a signature at the back of the book.
Adeleheit Dejere Batildis Nürnberkian.
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…?
