“My portions are too much. Others might not be able to eat their fill because of me. It’s okay to reduce it a bit.”
Claire approached the knight who was distributing food and extended the plate that she hadn’t touched yet.
In the manner typical of nobles, she circled around in her speech, but her true feelings were, ‘It’s too much for me to eat, so please reduce it.’
However, unfortunately, the distributor happened to be a knight of common birth. He was not awkward enough to mingle with nobles, and he didn’t understand the language of the nobility.
Thinking that the Empress was giving up dinner for them, the knight, misunderstanding the situation, responded with a bright smile, “No, Your Majesty, we always eat abundantly. We are more concerned about Your Majesty. We heard that you often skip meals because of your recent education. So, if you eat your fill today, including me and the other knights, we’ll be happy.”
There was no place to retreat against the knight’s resolute attitude. Claire, who received the plate back as it was, nodded her head in acknowledgment.
After returning to her seat, she stared blankly at the plate. The well-cooked wild boar meat looked incredibly appetizing. The glistening appearance indicated a substantial amount of juice.
However, the quantity was considerable.
Claire gulped down her saliva. It was emphasized once again that this action wasn’t to gather strength to open her mouth.
She was afraid of the food laid out in front of her. The knights watching her with twinkling
In a soft whimper, Cloe, who had just shed tears, continued to cough. Kun, who had been staring at her with a worried expression as she continuously coughed, finally sighed.
It hadn’t even been ten days since he left Friede, yet his healthy wife was now guarding the sickbed. She trembled like a newborn deer, and it had only been two days since then.
After a small sigh, he wrung out the water from the towel and placed it on the other person’s forehead.
Cloe, who had been suffering all along, now blushed with a languid face, as if she would finally live.
She didn’t even know that it was making me feel uncomfortable.
In my heart, I wanted to scold the person who made me miserable. However, scolding a sick patient was truly pointless and frustrating in many ways. It was an unpleasant situation in every respect.
Among the crowds welcoming the returning lord, there was no sign of his wife’s face.
When Kun casually asked about her whereabouts, the attendants seemed to murmur as if saying she would come soon.
Answering hesitantly with a pale face, the empress had been unwell since two days ago.
When I asked about the reason, at first, she made excuses that were not convincing at all. If she hadn’t been threatened with dismissal of all palace staff unless she told the truth, she probably wouldn’t have revealed the truth until the end.
“So.”
“…….”
“The conclusion is that you had a cold due to training and suffered from constipation due to overeating?”
There was a chilling tone in the voice that softly questioned. The red eyes, lifted with a raised eyelid, also flickered.
The situation where my wife was suffering because of other things was quite annoying.
“Well…”
Even in the midst of agony, Cloe, who was quick-witted, was startled. She gradually turned her body while lying in a proper posture, something she hadn’t done until now.
“The attendants did nothing wrong.”
The face with sweat dripping and the blue eyes where painful tears gathered. Even without knowing that such a pitiful appearance provoked anger, it still managed to evoke sympathy.
Finally, Kun laughed like he was impressed.
“Nothing wrong?”
“…….”
“It’s a sin if my wife, the empress of the country, has come to this state.”
“But… they…”
“Not knowing is also a problem. Ignorance is not something to be proud of, is it?”
At this point, even if he pretended not to know, Kun was stubborn. It meant he was very angry. In addition, there was a determination to correct her misguided thoughts during this time.
It was absurd for the ruler of the empire to take unwanted actions because of the eyes of mere subordinates.
Kun smiled at the woman looking at him with an uneasy expression. Subsequently, his gentle touch stroked her hair and cheek in turn.
“This isn’t the Duke Theodore’s mansion, and it’s not the Valont Royal Palace either. Your words are the truth, and your actions are the order.”
Despite the kindness implied in his words, the meaning seemed different from his gentle behavior.
“Now, what should I answer, my Empress?”
“Again, I… I won’t… I won’t do it. I’ll be a bit more dignified…”
Even with her brief response, Cloe coughed. Kun, startled, immediately enveloped her in his arms.
“I’m sorry for making you speak. I won’t ask anymore. Just rest deeply.”
“Uh, yes…”
She inserted her arm behind the man’s arm, tightly wrapping around her from above. The firm and rigid back felt warm, and sleep quickly overwhelmed her.
Even though she should say it’s okay, because of it, she neither felt scared nor in pain…
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…?
