“How about this one then?”
Eliza took out a dress with subtle mixtures of deep green and brown. It strangely reminded me of military attire.
“If you wear this, you might even aim for victory in this hunting competition! I’ll take care of all the hunting support.”
“I won’t participate in the hunt.”
With a firm answer, Eliza put the dress back with a somewhat disappointed expression.
“Miss usually refuses the first dress, so I kept this dress as the second option… because I wanted to go hunting together.”
Although Eliza mumbled while hesitating, I cleanly ignored her. No need to risk my life for hunting.
Eliza sighed again, but fortunately, she seemed to have resigned herself.
“This is a dress dyed with a glow-in-the-dark mushroom dye, made only at the summit of the Danev Mountains.”
Eliza pulled out a faintly shining light gray dress.
“It’s a beautiful dress that shines even in the darkness. With this, no matter who comes, Miss will shine even more!”
A shining dress. It seemed a bit daunting. When I swept the hem once, a refreshing energy tingled at my fingertips. With this, I felt like I could easily find myself if I got lost.
“All right. Let’s go with this.”
While Esmeralda was diligently preparing the dress, I secretly grabbed a magic book. It was the Duke’s hunting competition, after all. There was nothing wrong with being thorough in preparation.
I was worried about appearing in a too flashy dress at the hunting competition, but once we arrived at the Danev Mountains, it quickly became clear that it was an unnecessary concern.
The young nobles who had climbed the narrow mountain path to the point where the carriage couldn’t go were all adorned. It was a scene reminiscent of the most splendid ball of the social season, not a hunting competition.
However, by the time the young nobles arrived at the hunting ground due to the rough mountain path, their appearance wasn’t so great.
Their carefully arranged hair had long become disheveled, and the thick makeup was melting and dripping with sweat.
But it seemed that the pitiful appearance of these young nobles was not visible to the Duchess, as she welcomed them with a hearty laugh.
“Welcome. The view is really nice, isn’t it?”
The Duchess was a busy lady, unable to give proper answers to the panting young nobles and ladies.
“Come this way, come this way.”
The Duchess pointed to the tent set up on the cliff.
“If you look down from here, you can see the hunting ground at a glance. You can enjoy the hunting spectacle comfortably while enjoying snacks and tea.”
As the Duchess laughed again, the ladies and young nobles looked up at the steep cliff with puzzled eyes.
When no one moved, the Duchess tilted her head with a smile.
“Or perhaps, are you planning to enjoy the hunt with the gentlemen here?”
Laughing again, the Duchess even clapped her hands.
“That’s not a bad idea either. Our servants have started hunting prey for the hunting competition a few days ago. Probably, soon all the magical creatures in the Danev Mountains will gather here. If you want to hunt, there won’t be such a good opportunity like today.”
At the news that magical creatures were gathering here, the faces of the remaining ladies turned pale, and without saying anything, they hurriedly started riding the cliff.
“Will the gentlemen participate in the hunt?”
At the Duchess’s words, the remaining nobles just trembled without saying a word.
“Well, I was thinking of enjoying the spectacle myself.”
When one man timidly spoke up, other nobles also expressed their willingness to participate with a trembling voice.
The Duchess tilted her head awkwardly.
“Oh my, what should we do about this? I assumed that the gentlemen would naturally participate in the hunt, so I didn’t prepare properly. Unfortunately, there is a space prepared on the cliff only for the ladies.”
The Duchess looked at the nobles, who were trembling like cornered mice, and smiled cunningly.
“Don’t worry. It will undoubtedly be an enjoyable hunt. If you’re lucky, you might even encounter a Hydra or Sphinx.”
Although one noble fainted on the spot at the Duchess’s words, she, who had already turned around and started riding the cliff, didn’t notice him.
“I’ll excuse myself for a moment, Miss.”
Eliza, who politely bowed her head, lifted me up and began leaping up the cliff.
Thanks to her, I could secure a spot before the young ladies arrived.
“As far back as possible.”
Muttering to myself, I searched for a place where my sight would be as obscured as possible.
Having seen Kirian hunting monsters recklessly since I was young, I was well aware that monster hunting wasn’t a pleasant spectacle.
Unfortunately, due to the Duchess’s excellent seat arrangements, there was no place where the hunting ground was entirely invisible. However, I could find a reasonably safe spot.
As other young ladies arrived one by one, everyone competed to occupy the front seats.
“It’s Sir Kirian!”
As Kirian took the most visible seat, a young lady reached out and greeted him, and other young ladies subtly brought their chairs closer.
“You look splendid today as well.”
One young lady sighed, and another fanned herself.
“I’m sure Sir Kirian is the best hunter.”
The Duchess observed the young ladies’ chatter with a satisfied expression and began conversing with the ladies.
“I feel a bit awkward saying this myself, but our Kirian is truly…”
The Duchess, whose words became vague, covered her face with a fan. She was originally not good at lying.
“While his personality may not be affectionate, he occasionally shows a kind side. Although he generally doesn’t get along well with others, when he’s with his sister, there’s no better angel.”
The Duchess, with a proud face, closed her fan. Fortunately, it seemed her strategy had worked.
“Oh, we didn’t have many opportunities to see you on the formal stage, so I didn’t know that Sir Kirian is such an affectionate son.”
“I heard the rumors too. Thanks to his kind and affectionate nature, he even lived with roommates at the academy.”
“He truly is an angel. Hoho. Both in appearance and personality.”
In response to the ladies’ enthusiastic reactions, the Duchess laughed heartily.
However, the harmonious atmosphere didn’t last long.
“Krrr.”
“Kiik.”
Monsters appeared.
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…?
