Ellaila asked them sternly, aiming her gaze filled with expectation and love at the two.
“We were proud to hear that the princess is taking lessons…….”
“We wanted to observe, so we came.”
Jeff and Hecate replied confidently.
Around the two, who seemed to know no one but me, there seemed to be an aura of sparkling powder made of light.
“We’ll just watch quietly.”
Quickly, Jeff added, as if worried that Ellaila would ask them to leave.
“That’s absolutely not possible.”
However, Ellaila was adamant.
Her eyes tightly closed, the strength in her voice revealed her firm stance.
“Your Highness will not be able to focus on the lesson.”
Yes, yes, she’s right.
I nodded inwardly, agreeing with Ella’s words.
“As a teacher, I must instruct Your Highness properly.”
Ellaila, even raising her finger, added a few more words.
“Moreover, Your Highness is to become the emperor of this country, is he not?”
Hearing Ella’s words, a fact I had forgotten suddenly surfaced.
I was the only imperial heir, the sole successor.
Therefore, if no other successors were born and time passed, I would naturally ascend to the throne.
‘It gives me the chills for some reason.’
The thought of someday repeating the tiring life of an emperor made me feel dizzy.
“You entrusted me with the lesson, so please follow me.”
But then, Jeff and Hecate did not even argue with Ellaila’s final remark and withdrew. Their dejected, drooping figures, trudging away, looked rather pitiable.
‘Indeed, she’s as sharp as ever.’
The noisy ones were gone, anyway.
‘Ellaila’s rationality remains unchanged even after all this time.’
I thought, looking at Ellaila, who was ready to resume the lesson.
‘My judgment is indeed excellent.’
True to her former position as an aide, I chuckled to myself.
“Since it’s the first lesson, we should start lightly with history.”
Soon we moved to a new topic, and Ellaila’s eyes shone brightly.
“Since it can be difficult to learn many things at once, shall we learn about the founding myth today?”
I took my eyes off the book and looked at Ellaila.
‘The founding myth only gets more exaggerated with each generation.’
What does that have to do with history? I grumbled inwardly.
“The founding myth… Isn’t it interesting?”
In the midst of this, Sasha smiled mysteriously and chuckled.
‘Is it because she’s young?’
Her seemingly joyful appearance was intriguing.
‘She’s enjoying this.’
Her bright smile made it clear.
“Long, long ago.”
Then Ellaila began to read the myth recorded in the textbook.
“Nothing existed in this world.”
Ellaila’s expression was serious as she read each sentence calmly.
“The first humans planted a seed in the void land. It grew and soon created a vast forest and nature.”
I listened carefully, curious how much the content I knew had changed over time.
“Using nature as a stepping stone, humanity developed endlessly. And among them, the bravest became the leader.”
It’s tiresome. I gradually lost interest in the increasingly boring content.
“The leader of humanity, peculiarly, was born from an egg, and he created a new race of human beings with his rib. Our ancestors were this ‘new race.'”
Yeah, not interesting at all. I let Ella’s explanation go in one ear and out the other, lost in my daydreams.
“The new race was intelligent and finally established a vast kingdom.”
“Certainly, it’s interesting. But the myth varies from region to region.”
Finally, when the story seemed to come to an end and I thought I could live a little, Sasha crossed his arms and said,
“Oh, right. Do you know any other myths, Confucius?”
As if caught off guard by a counterattack, Ella showed a surprised expression, and Sasha’s unexpected response was evident.
“Yes, of course.”
Sasha, with a haughty face, gently tapped the desk with her index finger.
“It’s a myth that has been forgotten in many people’s memories now.”
With her eyes slightly downcast, Sasha began her story in a calm tone.
“Initially, the very first thing created was a vast and dark space. That is the universe.”
I picked up on the unique setting of the myth and perked up my ears at Sasha’s words.
“The creator of the universe was God. Along with that, God created a vast being to manage the universe.”
A vast being? I felt waves of curiosity.
“The vast being moved according to God’s will, and in the process, nature was created, and many creatures could live on the ground.”
Images of birds flying over blue waters and lush, green forests flashed through my mind.
“The appearance of humans on Earth was at that time. But the humans who settled on Earth were not the first humans created by God. The humans who settled on Earth lived in groups. It soon became a kingdom.”
Why mention that they were not the first humans? From that point on, I was fully alert.
“Because humans received God’s love without reserve, they could develop endlessly. The leader among humans passed on prosperity to his descendants.”
Sasha explained smoothly until the very end.
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…?
