Ed changed his direction and headed towards the building across from the restaurant. It was the most famous café in the vicinity, a popular spot among young nobles.
Entering the café, Ed removed his beard and shouted towards the owner.
“Clear the entire café right now.”
In response to this absurd command, Sharack and Paphier looked at Ed in surprise.
However, at that moment, all the staff in the café started to move efficiently. Soon, the entire building was emptied. Following that, the café owner bowed his head in front of Ed.
“As you ordered.”
Ed nodded once and pointed towards the second floor of the café.
“Now, go upstairs.”
“Ed, what on earth is going on?”
He explained as they climbed the stairs together.
In fact, this place was under his management. There was no better place to gather information than a café where young men and women gathered.
“Then, all those employees…”
“Yes. They are my organization members.”
This place was one of the secret headquarters of an information-gathering organization.
In disbelief at the unexpected revelation, Sharack and Paphier exchanged glances.
Soon, the three of them sat at a table near the window, with a clear view of the famous restaurant across the street. Then, one of the staff members returned with three binoculars.
Ed grinned maliciously.
“Now, shall we begin? Please observe closely to see if the Duke brought any other playthings.”
“Ed, you shouldn’t pry into others’ private lives…”
Despite Paphier’s protest, it was in vain. Before they knew it, Sharack had picked up the binoculars and started observing the opposite side. Soon, he furrowed his brows.
“The teacher… is smiling.”
“What did you say!”
Ed hastily grabbed the binoculars to scrutinize Prodia’s reaction.
Truly, she was smiling towards Leke. Despite going for the contract, it was undoubtedly a date. Ed’s hand holding the binoculars was trembling. Even after that, a smile never left Prodia’s face for a while. However, he couldn’t hear what they were talking about. Ed couldn’t bear it any longer.
“Miss Paphier, wouldn’t it be nice to eavesdrop with sacred power?”
“What? As I mentioned, that’s a serious offense…”
But then, a familiar light entered Paphier’s eyes. The location was the restaurant across the street. Exactly where Prodia was. It seemed that orders had been given to Prodia once again. However, the situation was a bit strange. Why would she be given orders while meeting Leke? Paphier’s hand was now unconsciously pointing towards the binoculars on the table. Then, Sharack exclaimed in surprise.
“Paphie, Ed was joking. You don’t need to eavesdrop!”
But now, the situation had changed.
On the contrary, Paphier started observing Prodia more diligently than the others. Clearly, that light was a divine trust. However, the location where the orders came from was a bit peculiar.
“Above Duke Leke’s… head?”
It seemed like there were words to convey about the Duke. Especially since the order was given in a situation right before the contract. Perhaps, favorable words were given to her.
“As expected, Lady Prodia is someone who receives the deity’s love.”
However, suddenly, Leke turned his head towards them.
“……!”
At the same time, Paphier locked eyes with Leke.
Looking at Leke’s expression, it was evident that he had just recognized them.
Moreover, he did so with a very chilling and cold smile.
Terrified, Paphier let go of the binoculars.
Fortunately, Sharack reflexively reached out and caught the binoculars.
“Paphie, what’s going on?”
But Paphier couldn’t offer any response.
In the moments when their eyes met, her spine had chilled.
She was convinced.
Duke Leke was not the amiable person known to the public.
“…That person is dangerous.”
If that’s the case, perhaps the trust that came down a while ago was a warning about Leke.
Paphier was caught in contemplation.
Opening someone else’s trust was a sin.
But leaving Prodia in danger was not an option.
In the end, she decided to secretly read the words of the deity.
Then, the divine energy that had been sparkling like glittering light suddenly transformed into a new blue-shaped window.
“…Is this the Divine Spear of Light.”
Repeating apologies in his mind several times, he read the first line.
[Name: Leke Elhas]As expected, the deity was talking about Leke.
He then proceeded to check the next information.
[Occupation: Duke of Elhas Kingdom]What the heck is this?
Instead of a warning about Leke, there was a detailed record of his personal information.
But then, suddenly, the Divine Spear of Light went off with a ‘click.’
He didn’t get a chance to confirm the later part.
However, now wasn’t the time to regret such things.
Suddenly, Paphier’s head started hurting as if it would shatter.
The consequences of secretly eavesdropping on someone else’s trust had returned.
Experiencing symptoms that she had only known theoretically for a lifetime, Paphier’s face turned pale.
Sharack, noticing the strange signs, asked, “Paphie, are you okay? Your complexion is pale.”
Paphier nodded weakly, but in reality, she had no energy left to sit.
“It won’t do. Let’s go back home.”
“No, I can go back alone.”
Although Sharack insisted on accompanying her all the way, Paphier shook her head.
After all, she didn’t want to be a hindrance to the two of them.
In the end, she used the scroll Ed had given her and returned to the viscount’s residence alone.
Lying in her room and groaning, Paphier continued to worry about Prodia.
What could have been written in the remaining part of the Divine Spear of Light?
“That Duke, something seems suspicious….”
What if he has any harmful intentions towards Prodia?
Is there any way to find out more about Leke?
At that moment, Paphier thought of a suitable person.
“Right, there’s Eritis.”
To anyone, it was clear that Eritis was the right person for this job.
He had claimed to have known Leke for a long time.
Moreover, during the festival, Eritis’s gaze towards Prodia was undoubtedly filled with love.
So, if it involved Prodia, he would certainly step forward.
Without even imagining what might happen due to her own whims, Paphier eagerly awaited Eritis’s return.
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…?
