Considering the depth of their thoughts at their age, it was quite profound. I hope Kallail, following the advice I gave him earlier, builds his skills, creates his own person, establishes the foundation of power, and successfully raises the Bergamot Duchy.
“Oh, right. By the way…”
After changing the topic of conversation to talk about the Fluer family’s business, I exchanged various opinions with Kallail. Seeing his complexion turn sad again regarding marriage-related topics, my head throbbed.
Since it kept bothering me unnecessarily and couldn’t be ignored, I felt compelled to change the atmosphere and maybe offer some comfort.
“We’ve finally arrived. This is the entrance to the Royal Library.”
“Wow~.”
Ronowe and Veris, Sasha and Freyri, who had gone ahead for a while, couldn’t help but marvel at the enormous door of the splendid library adorned with patterns and engraved images.
‘Compared to the royal library’s door, this one is overwhelming.’
It was a place where various ancient texts were collected, a repository accumulated since the reign of the kings before Ulrica, built with a substantial budget allocated after the empire’s establishment. Recalling the memory of the entrance being newly renovated with only the door replaced while the interior underwent maintenance, I blinked my eyes.
“I want to go in quickly!”
Ronowe, who loved reading very much, showed the most enthusiasm, hopping around in place. Freyri, still receiving Sasha’s escort, had eyes filled with anticipation, and the stars seemed to gather and twinkle in her eyes.
Miranda and Hailey naturally smiled warmly, exerting their strength to open the heavy door. Surprisingly, I thought that they had good physical strength, even though I had grown up as a knight when I was young.
“It’s like a world made of books.”
Finally entering the royal library, I didn’t feel particularly excited as the interior was similar to the royal library. However, among those who came for the first time, Freyri especially seemed to enjoy it a lot.
With both hands covering her mouth, she widened her eyes and her surprised face was worth seeing, as if she had come to a place made of irreplaceable illusions in this world.
“Are you so excited?”
I gestured to Kallail, who was nearby, and after telling the youngsters to explore, I approached Freyri.
“Even the library in the duke’s mansion is probably as big as here, right?”
“Our family library is much smaller, Your Highness.”
Humble. I nodded in response to Freyri’s answer.
Honestly, as the royal library was a place I rarely visited since there was no need to visit a place other than the library, I looked around here and there with the intention of finding something changed from my previous life.
“Frei, sit down for now.”
Meanwhile, as if Nuna was worried, Sasha approached and took Freyri away.
“I’ll bring the books you want to see.”
“Thank you, Sasha.”
Can siblings get along so well? I casually turned my head and suddenly realized that Ronowe and Veris were not in sight. I walked over to Kallail.
“Where did they go?”
I pointed to the place where the youngsters were standing just a moment ago with my finger.
“They said opportunities to view ancient texts are rare, so they went to find books first.”
I prayed silently in my heart that they wouldn’t cause trouble and damage the ancient texts. After that, I lifted the chubby Poppie, who was yawning as if bored, into my arms.
“Oh, really? While I’m here, I should read a book too. Will you read one too?”
“Yes, Your Highness. Let’s go together.”
Seeing Kallail naturally following me, I suddenly felt that Ronowe and Veris had grown a lot. Just seven years ago, they were so small and young that Kallail used to follow them around, and I always had a maid attached to me.
“Now you don’t have to follow Ronowe and Veris’s behinds.”
“As much time has passed. Just in case, I firmly warned not to damage the ancient texts. I told them it couldn’t be compensated even with the money to buy cakes until death.”
“Good job.”
Thinking that Kallail managed to avoid troublesome incidents on his own, I casually remarked, and he took it happily, as it was typical of him, and moved on.
“Let’s scatter from here. I’ll go over there to look for a book that interests me.”
I declared that I would explore alone while placing Poppie, who I had been holding, back on the floor.
“Understood, Your Highness. If you need help, please find me right away.”
“Okay.”
With a nonchalant response, I turned around and strolled around. Knowing that the most difficult-to-obtain ancient texts in the empire were consistently gathered here, I sometimes found shelves with low compartments containing ancient texts I had acquired during my noble lady days.
‘That means that my descendants sold or donated them after my death.’
For a moment, I thought of them as vile people, but since there was nothing I could do after my death, I passed by indifferently.
“Oh, that book…”
After circling around once, it was a moment when I couldn’t find a book that resonated with me, and I was considering just picking any book.
‘That cover looks too familiar.’
At the time of the royal audience, a certain scholar had presented me with a book similar to this one, and I thought I should check. However, it was placed on a fairly high shelf, so I hesitated.
Swoosh.
Still, I wondered what would happen if I raised my heels. Even if I had escaped the diminutive stature, my small frame still trembled to the extent that reaching for the book with my outstretched arms would be futile.
‘It won’t work. I have to step on Poppie.’
With Poppie’s small snout and short arms, it seemed impossible to retrieve the book. I was about to apologize and ask him to endure for a moment.
“Ggung?”
‘It won’t burst, right?’
I believe in alchemy.
Without knowing my thoughts, Poppie, who was still looking at me, tilted his head, and I slowly lowered my reaching arm, silently commanding him to stay still with a determined expression.
“Your Highness, let me help you.”
That was the moment.
‘What’s this?’
Suddenly, a dense shadow loomed over my head, and from behind, I heard Kallail’s voice.
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…?
