Although young, Noah was a talented mage and one of the most cherished disciples of Count Lancaster. Despite having a delicate side, he showed unexpected determination and a persistent character, making him a disciple with great potential.
“So, what’s going on?”
“Well, this.”
Noah pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to the Count.
It was a note found during the visit to the house of Eric, an unlicensed mage, whose house had partially burned when searching for the missing mage, along with the Zero Knights.
Magic, Seal, Lancaster, Caution
“Found at the house of the missing mage we were searching for with Head Russell.”
“…Is that guy Ana?”
“I don’t know. Since you told us to report immediately if there were any clues related to magic or mages, I kept it hidden and brought it out.”
“You did well. I’ll take care of this myself.”
While retrieving the note with a dark expression, the Count Noah asked cautiously.
“What does this mean?”
“Do you know what a seal is?”
“Yes. It’s about the talk of Savyer’s resurrection you mentioned before, right? The seal of the soul divided into seven pieces.”
“One of those places is Lancaster Castle. This probably indicates that.”
“Castle Lancaster? Ah, right. It might even be safer.”
With an understanding expression, Noah nodded.
Since the residence of the mage was always occupied by a senior mage, it could be much safer than other exposed places.
“But Lancaster Castle hasn’t been established for a long time, right?”
“That’s right. Although there were several reconstructions and renovations, the land has always been the same.”
“Because of the seal?”
“Yeah.”
The Count answered nonchalantly, but Noah continued to be curious.
“Who protected it before the senior mage?”
“Fortunately, children with magical power kept being born. And Noah.”
“Yes?”
“I dislike that title, you know?”
“Sorry, Master.”
Looking at Noah, who scratched his head apologetically with a funny smile, Count Lancaster smiled as if he found it cute.
“Found it in the house of the missing mage, you say?”
“Yes. Head Russell predicts that Head Russell used the missing mages for the purpose of taking away their magical power.”
“Hmm. It’s a reasonable suspicion.”
After a moment of thought, Noah cautiously asked the Count.
“What about that guy?”
“Head Russell? He’s a good person.”
“Where? What’s good about him?”
“Yes. Competent, trustworthy, and good at communication.”
“He’s good at communication?”
“Yes. He seems flexible in his understanding of magic and mages.”
“Noah. He didn’t use magic in front of that guy, did he?”
Upon the Count Lancaster’s inquiry, Noah bowed his head.
“Head Russell tried to save me when Miss Alicia was kidnapped by a mage and got seriously injured by a monster. However, he was suddenly dragged into the barrier and had to rush.”
“Noah.”
Exhaling a sigh, the Count, with a perplexed expression, listened to Noah’s lengthy explanation.
“The Head also said it’s okay. Magic itself is not bad, but since there are rules, he advised me to be careful. So, I agreed. It went well.”
“······.”
“Still, I didn’t report about the magic on Alicia.”
“How did you know about that?”
Surprised by the Count Lancaster’s serious expression, Noah stammered and opened his mouth.
“What? Oh, when I was kidnapped, I somehow faintly sensed magic. At first, I thought the mage did something.”
Noah paused for a moment, looking at Count Lancaster’s reaction. However, with a gesture to continue, he hesitated again and spoke.
“I briefly detected it, but there was a powerful protective spell. However, I couldn’t figure out exactly what it was protecting. Alicia didn’t seem to know either.”
“Did you tell Alicia?”
“What? Yes. I promised that I would find out when the master returns.”
“Sigh.”
Count Lancaster sighed and rubbed his head.
More things seemed to have been revealed than he thought.
“Um, did I do something wrong?”
“No. It’s not that.”
“Then?”
At Noah’s cautious question, Count Lancaster smiled.
It was going to be revealed someday anyway. It’s just a matter of sooner or later. It’s okay.
“Ah, yes. So, what about the protective spell?”
“I cast that.”
“Uh.”
“So, I didn’t say anything about using magic. Well, I also have things that bother me.”
With Count Lancaster coolly admitting it, Noah, who was embarrassed by his unexpected confession, couldn’t figure out what to say.
“Anyway, as a role model and a member of the Zero Knights, if it’s revealed that you used magic, there will be a commotion. Nowadays, there is a lot of controversy among the mages about using magic, right?”
“Yes. That’s correct.”
“Look into that carefully, too. It may be unavoidable in the current trend, but sudden changes can bring confusion, especially at times like this, you never know where it might lead.”
“Yes. Head Russell also mentioned that and was cautious. He said mages might contact those who are dissatisfied.”
“Oh? What else did he instruct?”
At the Count’s question, Noah hesitated for a moment.
The surveillance of Ross was secretly ordered by Zero Knights, as Eric had instructed to proceed secretly.
However, even if he belonged to the Zero Knights, Noah, as a mage, couldn’t just pass over the question of the Count, who was a senior mage.
“He instructed to monitor Ross, who is Prince William’s close friend.”
“Why?”
“He said it seems to be related to mages, and he died yesterday.”
“Sigh.”
Alicia was sitting alone on a bench in the greenhouse garden.
Although the sunlight was shining brightly, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air, her mood didn’t improve at all.
Above all, she had no leisure to appreciate the beautiful flowers.
Feeling bothered by everything, she found a bench without people and sat down, closing her eyes and trying to relax.
“Alicia?”
At that moment, the voice she most wanted to hear reached her.
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…?
