When our ship overtook Greyon Jeonha’s ship to get behind the pirate ships, flaming arrows flew from Greyon Jeonha’s ship.
It was an invention of Alchemist Royman Siljangnim.
The flaming arrows flew straight towards the pirate ships and exploded upon impact. It was a terrifying firepower.
‘Alchemy is a scary thing…’
The pirate ship caught fire instantly, and the pirates sensing danger jumped into the sea.
Passing by the negotiation ship, Duke Kaidel’s ship headed toward the pirate fleet at top speed.
The pirates were also spreading out and approaching us.
Duke Kaidel issued a command.
“Prepare the flaming arrows!”
As the ships drew closer, the soldiers shot exploding arrows, and smoke erupted from the pirate ships instantly.
In the meantime, the fleet of Greyon Jeonha, who had destroyed the negotiation ship and its escort, immediately followed us and joined the attack.
Though the pirate fleet consisted of about ten ships, they collapsed incredibly easily under the firepower of the Tagar Royal Alchemist’s flaming arrows.
When a few ships at the rear began to flee, two nearby ships sped up to chase them.
I had been holding onto the railing while listening to Duke Kaidel’s commanding shouts.
Fire! Fire! Encircle to the right! Fire!
I was at a loss for words, looking at the sea where burning pirate ships were sinking one after another. The pirates were jumping into the water, gradually staining the surface.
Duke Kaidel’s voice, the noise of the battle, the peculiar smell of burning, and the vibration of the ship simply overwhelmed me.
“Speed up! We can’t let them escape!”
As our ship grazed past a pirate ship and caught up, Duke Kaidel suddenly pulled me into his arms and swung his sword.
“Ah!”
I screamed in pain from the grip of his hand, and at that moment, a thud was heard as a pirate’s axe embedded itself into the ship’s railing.
The old sailor who had been holding the helm began cursing as he eyed the axe that had just missed him.
It was…, bone-chilling cursing.
I was in the presence of a true master.
But the tragedy was that I couldn’t ask him for guidance right now. My body was in too much pain.
“Roar Yang?”
I looked up in surprise, my eyes dumbfounded, and pulled my arm back while gripping the railing.
“Command, please.”
Then he sharply scanned my body and yelled again.
“Fire to the port side!”
A flame rose from the fleeing pirate ship in the distance. Then, the sound of a trumpet filled the air.
Seeing that, Duke Kaidel spoke with a satisfied face.
“Turn the ship! We will join up with Jeonha’s ship.”
‘Is it over…’
I watched the last pirate ship slowly sink and sat down hesitantly on the railing.
Duke Kaidel knelt on one knee in front of me and gently lifted my hanging chin.
He looked into my eyes and said,
“You were brave, Lady Roar.”
Our fleets soon joined and formed a line. We transferred to the negotiation ship, and so did His Highness Greyan.
I almost screamed there. The deck was strewn with the bodies of pirates.
Some of Duke Kaidel’s soldiers were injured, but it seemed there were no fatalities.
I looked around and caught eyes with His Highness Greyan.
My mouth felt parched. The fight was over, and I couldn’t tell if I would end up like the pirates, a mere dot in the sea.
However, he seemed indifferent to me as he looked around the deck with a satisfied face.
He turned over the body of a pirate and found a bright red gemstone necklace.
The necklace in His Highness’s fingers emitted a radiant and red glow I had never seen before.
His Highness Greyan laughed cheerfully.
‘Is that the “Red Tear”…?’
He spoke to a very dissatisfied-looking Duke Kaidel.
“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it this time.”
Duke Kaidel finally bowed with a satisfied face.
That was when His Highness Greyan turned his attention back to me.
He came right up to my face, stared at me intently, and said to Duke Kaidel,
“Did Lady Roar here behave properly, Rocard?”
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…?
