“Then, I want to go back to the day when Mom was hurt! I’ll go there and help Mom so she won’t get hurt in advance!”
“That’s…”
“Why not? Dad’s dad also said a final farewell to the dog. I’ll go to Mom and tell her not to get hurt!”
“…”
“Can’t I?”
Looking up at the Pantheon Pontiff with pleading eyes, the child requested. Whenever Beatrice moistened her eyes, her governess Jane or the maids would weaken and grant her requests.
“…Alright.”
And this time, there was no change. The venerable Pontiff Pantheon was also completely swayed by Beatrice’s plan.
However, the Pontiff added that since it involved changing the past, Beatrice couldn’t directly intervene in the events. In other words, preventing the fire at the time or informing Cloé about the incident in advance was impossible.
“What is that! It’s unfair.”
“His Imperial Majesty did not change the past either. He just bid a final farewell to his beloved child.”
Beatrice blinked her eyes once again, but the effect was minimal.
“Also, the Emperor and Empress at the time are not aware of your existence, so you must hide that as well.”
“Then what should I do?”
“Let me transform you. Just keep in mind that you cannot engage in conversations or interact with people.”
“There are too many restrictions…”
“Even this is a privilege only Her Highness the Princess can receive.”
Facing the firm attitude of the Pontiff, Beatrice also took a step back. She felt anxious that if she pushed her luck too much, she might lose her last chance.
“Then, I’ll try something new. Our mom really likes Pippi.”
Along with her explanation of Pippi’s appearance, Beatrice held the Pontiff’s hand, and he muttered incomprehensible words.
“Pippi! Pippi!”
And Beatrice truly became Pippi.
“Pip? Pippi? Pippi!”
“Oh dear, the wing pattern is engraved in reverse.”
“Pippi!”
“Nevertheless, it should be fine. Most people won’t recognize it.”
…Even though it turned out strangely.
Soon, the Pontiff guided Beatrice to another passage. Pausing in front of the dazzlingly shining door, he explained that she just had to go inside.
“Pippi!”
After expressing gratitude and thanks, Beatrice flapped her wings diligently and crossed the door. Though she seemed to be walking on both legs, what actually made her move briskly were a pair of small wings.
‘Where could Mom be? She said it was somewhere near the forest.’
There was one thing Beatrice hadn’t confessed to her mom. In fact, she knew why Cloé got the scar. More precisely, it would be more accurate to say that she found out.
Despite taking Cloé’s advice to heart, in her frustration, Beatrice went to Kuhn and asked him to help heal her mom’s scars. She also begged him to make the person who caused the fire receive proper punishment.
‘…So, it was me who caused the fire.’
‘Dad?’
‘Mom has scars because of Dad. I couldn’t protect Mom.’
On the day of the fire, Kuhn lamented that it was his fault for not being able to protect her. However, he merely repeated those words, and like Cloé, he did not explain the details of the incident.
Afterward, Beatrice interrogated and probed other people in the palace. Especially, she made efforts for months to extract information from her governess Jane. With teary eyes, she gathered information and eventually learned the entire sequence of events.
A scoundrel kidnapped Cloé and staged a hostage drama.
Then, on Kuhn’s birthday, he set fire to the cabin where Mom was kidnapped. He arrived late by a narrow margin, found the adversary only after the fire had grown, and brought them back. In the process, Cloé suffered burns from the fire.
“You scoundrel!”
Even though he had already faced retribution, Beatrice continued to resent the criminal. Her mom continued to suffer for several years because of that. Both the sad Beatrice and her dad, who felt unnecessary guilt, were the same.
Pippi, who had found the location where the incident occurred, fluttered eagerly to that place until winter.
“Surely, the day before Dad’s birthday, he said he visited this village.”
Kuhn, who had approached the cabin where Cloé was held captive, didn’t realize there was another location beyond the forest. He was later intensely regretful, and his subordinate Martin provided comfort.
“And Mom said she threw a note expecting Dad to find it…”
Pippi diligently roamed the forest near the village. And inside the forest, she found a cabin standing alone.
“There it is!”
Flapping her wings, Pippi approached the cabin. When she was puzzled because there was no entrance, she noticed a poorly patched window under the roof. It seemed like it was hastily repaired with wooden planks after being broken once.
Beatrice blindly stuck her head inside. Thanks to the strong wind pushing from behind, she successfully broke the plank. Entering the space, she soon found the familiar back of a head.
Glorious golden hair that shone brilliantly, fitting for the noble title of the Empire’s Sun—the mother of Cloé Friedrich. Her face, turned to the side, was truly beautiful. For a moment, as she admired the face that could be even more beautiful than the current one, Beatrice remembered her purpose and approached the past Cloé.
“Pippi! Peep, peep!”
To awaken the motionless Cloé, Beatrice poked her nose with a small beak.
“Umm…”
Before long, she seemed to regain consciousness and let out a groan.
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…?
