When he opened his eyes again, Elding’s large bulging eyes were dimmed, and it had fallen back.
Kirian threw Elding’s corpse into the grass and shook his hand.
“You saw?”
“Ugh.”
Instead of answering, Gerald was busy vomiting the little breakfast he had eaten.
Kirian sighed briefly.
“That’s how you stab it a few times.”
Kirian caught the staggering Gerald before he fell completely.
“Now, Your Highness, try it yourself.”
“Me, me?”
The palefaced Gerald asked incredulously.
“Me?”
Kirian grabbed the retreating Gerald.
“Of course.”
Kirian smiled.
“Or, do you plan to brag that you learned how to hunt Elding from Kirian in the council meeting? The king will be proud.”
Although he was smiling, the cold atmosphere made Gerald tremble involuntarily.
Kirian picked up the spear that Gerald had dropped.
“If you want to claim that you mastered the way to hunt Eldings, you must know how to hunt at least one when the ministers ask you to show them.”
Gerald, who took the spear that Kirian threw hastily, looked alternately at the dead Elding and the spear and eventually nodded.
“I’ll … try once.”
(This is a time separator.)
There was one thing Kirian had overlooked.
That Gerald was a serious klutz.
Kirian wiped his face as he watched Gerald stabbing the air.
What’s the use of giving him a weapon made of a substance fatal to Eldings?
He couldn’t follow Elding’s movement with his eyes and was busy stabbing the tree in front of him while leaving Elding approaching from behind.
Kirian slightly leaked his presence just before Elding ate Gerald from behind. Only after Elding became confused and started running away did Gerald figure out its location.
“Stab!”
At Kirian’s command, Gerald thrust his spear with his eyes tightly closed. Naturally, the spear missed.
Kirian rubbed his forehead.
“Why in that place.”
Speechless for a moment, Kirian growled between his tightly closed lips.
“Do you close your eyes?”
“I’m, I’m sorry.”
Gerald’s face was paler than when he faced Elding.
“That’s enough. Elding will come again.”
Kirian’s prediction was correct.
Elding kept coming.
As soon as Kirian suppressed his presence, the Eldings instinctively detected easy prey and kept falling from the sky.
Just none of them were successfully hunted by Gerald.
Several hours passed, but the corpse of Elding left in the yard was only the first body, no different from the one that Kirian caught on his behalf.
Kirian looked at the rising sun in the distance with a troubled face.
Soon it was time for his sister to wake up. She would surely spend the whole day in the library like any other day, but strangely, it made him anxious if he could not confirm it with his eyes.
“Just one more try.”
Kirian, sighing, forcibly raised Gerald, who was lying down, exhausted.
Just one more attempt, and if it doesn’t work, we’ll give up and go back to the academy.
Probably by the time he started trimming the branches of the trees on the academy hill, his sister would already be sitting by the window, browsing through a new book.
(This is a time separator.)
“How about this?”
Heath offered a drink with strawberries floating beautifully as a decoration.
I didn’t know where it was coming from on this small boat, but snacks kept coming out as if by magic.
I sucked the drink through a straw. The soursweet strawberry scent and carbonation popped on my tongue.
“It’s delicious!”
Heath’s eyes curled up finely.
“Good. I did well to prepare everything, not knowing what Reina would like.”
I scanned the snacks spread out like a buffet on the deck of the boat. From macarons to finger sandwiches, from plain tea to syrupfilled juice, nothing was missing.
Heath scratched his neck, a little embarrassed.
“I thought you might like something sweet.”
Though my pride was hurt, Heath had guessed quite accurately.
“Heath, have some too.”
The moment I held out a plump macaron.
Dripdrip.
A fine rain began to fall and then started to intensify.
“Oh no. It seems to be a shower.”
The raindrops were so thick that even the outer layer of my thick dress was soaked in an instant.
When I looked around, our boat was far from where we started.
Heath picked up the oar again.
“Looking at the sun shining through the clouds, it seems like it’ll pass soon.”
As Heath started rowing, the boat quickly headed towards the closer opposite shore from our position.
“Let’s take shelter from the rain in the boathouse.”
The boathouse seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, and there were hardly any signs of human presence. The floor was covered in dust, and the air was chilly due to the draft.
In the corner were a few old fishing rods and harpoons. Fortunately, there were a few pieces of firewood and flint, so we were able to light a fire in the fireplace soon after.
“Ththank goodness.”
I stuck to the fireplace and rubbed my palms vigorously.
“It’ll, it’ll get warm soon, right?”
“Reina.”
“Yyes?”
“Your lips are purple.”
I couldn’t deceive Heath’s eyes.
“Ahaha. It must be because they got wet from the rain. They’ll dry soon.”
I said, clattering my teeth.
It was a lie.
With the thick dress soaked through, a small campfire was far from enough. But in front of Heath…
“You can take off the dress.”
Despite the thunder that rang out at that moment, I heard Heath’s words, each one, clearly.
“I’ll turn my back.”
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…?
