“Kib, is Noah alright?”
“He’s exhausted both his magical and physical stamina.”
Eric moved towards Noah and seated Alicia next to him.
Then he briefly locked eyes with Alicia before turning to Noah.
“Noah, how are you feeling?”
“I’m fine. Just need some rest.”
“You’ve worked hard.”
“No, it was nothing.”
Eric patted Noah’s shoulder encouragingly and stood up to walk back to Kib.
“So?”
“Noah says it appears to be a wizard’s barrier.”
“A wizard?”
“Yes. To be honest, there was nothing we could do from the outside. We’re not even sure how you managed to get into the barrier.”
At that, Eric rummaged through his pocket and pulled out an invitation.
“This invitation led me here. Could it have been the link to enter the barrier?”
“Ah, that could be possible. I’ll have it investigated.”
Kib took the invitation Eric handed over.
“But Kib, what about the monsters?”
“We’ve eliminated all that were around. Ah, we also sent a rescue request. It’s en route and will arrive shortly.”
“Well done. You’ve worked hard in my absence.”
“Thank you…”
Caught off guard by Eric’s compliment, Kib tilted his head and grinned.
Alicia, who was watching the two of them, caught Noah’s occasional glances.
Feeling his gaze, Alicia turned her head towards Noah.
“I’m Alicia Lancaster.”
“I know. I’m Noah. A mystic.”
“Ah, I see.”
A moment of silence passed.
Noah looked at Alicia again and asked.
“What happened in there?”
“Nothing, absolutely nothing.”
“?”
Feeling awkward, Alicia quickly answered, and Noah examined her carefully.
An embarrassed Alicia closed her mouth and turned her gaze towards Eric and Kib.
Her expression was much colder than when she had been with Eric, making Noah cautiously speak.
“You shouldn’t hide it.”
“Hide what?”
“You were kidnapped by a wizard and were inside a wizard’s barrier. Anything, no matter how small, related to them should be told for a smooth investigation—”
“There was absolutely nothing. At least when I was conscious.”
With a calm demeanor and a resolute tone, Alicia seemed detached, as if discussing someone else’s affairs.
“I fainted and woke up to find no one around. There were no traces either.”
“Is that so?”
“Curious as I was, I looked around, but nothing was out of place. However, there were no living creatures in there.”
“?”
“Isn’t there wildlife here? I don’t even have small animals inside me. The plants look familiar, but their shapes are slightly different. Ah, and although the air is heavy, it’s not bad to breathe.”
“······You’re remarkable. To calmly assess the situation despite everything.”
“I thought I should be of some help since I’ve been kidnapped.”
Any ordinary person would have been paralyzed with fear and unable to do anything.
But for some reason, Noah nodded as if convinced.
“True to form, aren’t you.”
“?”
“Never mind. May I excuse myself for a moment?”
As Noah reached out to Alicia, she backed away as if on guard.
“What is it?”
“I apologize. But I feel a faint magical presence from you. I think it’s necessary to check what might have happened while you were unconscious.”
“Ah.”
Alicia tightly gripped the hem of her dress in anxiety.
She then quickly composed herself and asked calmly.
“What should I do?”
“Just give me your hand and stay still.”
As Alicia nodded, Noah’s hand began to faintly glow.
‘Huh?’
Something briefly appeared on the back of Alicia’s hand that was propped against the rock she was sitting on, and then it disappeared.
‘What was that just now?’
“What’s wrong? Did something go wrong?”
Upon seeing Noah’s unusual expression, Alicia asked in a worried voice.
She had woken up in ruins and although she couldn’t remember due to a headache, she had a nagging feeling that she was forgetting something important.
Moreover, it was ominous that Noah, a mage, said he felt magical power from her.
But unexpectedly, Noah withdrew his hand and smiled.
“No, not at all. If anything, it seems like something good has happened to you.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m not exactly sure, but it seems like you’re being protected.”
“Protected? By who?”
“I can’t ascertain that right now due to my lack of magical power. I’ll investigate it later.”
“Ah, yes.”
After that, both remained silent.
It was then that a familiar voice began to echo from far away.
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…?
