Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 160
“Yes, Father? To the Kingdom of Galico?”
It was the first time his father had summoned him since Queen Marguerite’s passing. Alfonso had expected Leo III to at least say something like, “You must have had a hard time,” or “You worked so hard organizing your mother’s funeral.”
Hearing something he never even imagined, Prince Alfonso was considerably startled. It wasn’t just because Leo III was acting unusually emotional.
Royalty with succession rights did not cross borders unless it was for a war of conquest. Even Grand Duchess Larisa’s visit from the Kingdom of Galico to the Kingdom of Etruria—despite being merely a cadet branch of the royal family—had been considered unprecedented. And now the sole heir to the throne? At a time when the two nations were openly hostile toward each other?
“Yes. You must go as Etruria’s representative to negotiate.”
Leo III waved his hand, dismissing the attendants around him. Everyone in the room—the members of the Lesser Curia Regis, including Marquis Valdesar, Count Marquez, and Count Contarini, along with the royal servants—took the king’s cue and quickly filed out like receding tide.
Only Leo III, seated on the throne, and Prince Alfonso, standing respectfully before him, remained in the vast royal audience chamber. Alfonso smoothed his furrowed brow and asked his father,
“Is this a truce negotiation?”
“Well, something along those lines.”
Unable to bring himself to tell his son outright, “Go finalize the marriage alliance with your own hands,” Leo III deliberately kept his words vague.
“What are the terms of the truce? Since they’ve illegally marched their troops into our territory, I believe we must demand reparations.”
Yet from his son’s firm stance, it seemed they were completely at odds. If he wanted to stop Alfonso from wrecking everything once he reached Galico, Leo III realized he’d need to offer at least some explanation.
“Politics isn’t that simple! How foolish!”
Having shouted at his son to seize control of the situation, Leo III lowered his voice and spoke persuasively.
“When compromise and cooperation are possible, you must take that path. The Kingdom of Galico has brought up the marriage alliance again. This time, their terms are better than before. They’ve promised that, upon the marriage’s completion, they’ll hand over the chemical formula.”
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…?
