Anyone who heard this news would inevitably ask that question.
Greyon grinned, planning some mischief.
“It doesn’t mean the Count chooses me. He’s simply remaining neutral. But it will seem as if the third lion rejected Prince Orel.”
Duke Rocard’s silence seemed like agreement, but Greyon knew his mind was elsewhere.
Greyon stared at Rocard and spoke.
“Daring to bring a bastard into royal proximity. The Count is bold, exposing his shortcomings for all to see. I saw him again.”
“I’ll be away for a moment.”
With a stern face, Duke Rocard left Greyon’s verbal attack.
He walked through the palace corridor, unaware of his own feelings. It was only when he deliberately passed through the deserted palace garden that he realized how angry he was.
‘Is this a joke?’
To Rocard, Lorisha Roar was like a money jar secretly buried in the corner of the garden—a precious emergency fund to be used when needed.
Someday, the appraisal he had given her, ‘keeps quiet but works,’ was the highest praise from him.
In fact, he had been quietly looking forward to the start of the competition and the opportunity to bring her in.
But now, she had become a maidservant in the royal palace. Not only could he not ask for her help in the future, but even the secret of the past event related to the second prince might be jeopardized.
The first prince had secretly dug up his yard and stolen his precious jar, then poured it all out on the street.
“The Princess’ Palace!”
Princess Miliora wouldn’t even recognize Lorisha’s worth, let alone use it. The value of Lorisha had effectively died the moment she was placed in the princess’s palace.
The only good thing was that the first prince hadn’t used his precious emergency fund himself, but Rocard found it hard to calm his bitter insides.
So resentful he felt, he even hated Lorisha.
She must know what it meant to become a maidservant in the princess’s palace, yet she accepted it.
‘What a waste of her smarts!’
But if he asked whether she made that choice willingly, the answer was likely no.
Her appearance, cheerful while working at the pharmacy, evoked pity rather than joy in him.
“Sigh…”
Rocard dryly swallowed to suppress his rising emotions.
He couldn’t help but think of her face, delighted as she shattered jars in Hwinid’s lab, as he looked toward the distant building of the Third Imperial Palace.
A Maiden’s Entrance
“Are you insane? Who on earth came up with this idea? Bring them before me!”
“Your Highness…”
“What? Why should I lower my voice?”
The furious scolding of Princess Miliora could be heard from beyond the door. The flustered voice of the man speaking with her was barely audible.
Ah, I must be cautious with my language if I’m to live in the Imperial Palace.
‘Princess Miliora was clearly very displeased.’
Soon after, something collided and shattered. It was the princess throwing objects.
But this situation was all too familiar to me. Just a few days ago, I had seen Misha behave in a similar manner.
Misha definitely wasn’t adapting well to the academy. Her recent bouts of sharpness and aggression were proof, not to mention her exuberant claim to a maiden’s position.
She clearly saw this role as a honorable escape route from the academy. Had she seen this firsthand, she would have immediately abandoned the thought.
In any case, to me, the princess’s yelling was nothing more than cute. A little disappointing that my longstanding fantasies about the royal family shattered so easily.
The blonde hair of Tagar’s royal enemy is such a mess.
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…?
