Rishi wasn’t surprised by Eldheart’s attitude because she hadn’t expected Kev’s entire family to like her.
In a way, this attitude might have been expected.
There were various rumors about the flower of the Witlow Duchy. Good rumors, bad rumors, and rumors that Rishi couldn’t manage spread quickly.
The woman with those rumors was connecting with Earl Green, and it would be strange to welcome that with open arms.
However, she had no intention of tolerating his rude behavior.
If the other person disliked her, she decided to dislike him with all her might. She decided not to strive to earn the love of someone who dislikes her.
“You seem happy. Seizing the seat of Earl Green’s wife.”
“Why would I dislike that?”
“What did you offer to Kev? There’s no reason for Kev to marry someone like you for no reason.”
Rishi smiled.
“Even if something happened between Kev and me, that’s a matter between a husband and wife. There’s no room for you to interfere, Eldheart.”
“Kev is my brother.”
“Do you feel bitter because you feel like you lost your brother?”
At Rishi’s sarcasm, Eldheart’s gaze cooled.
“You don’t know how high the sky is, climbing up there. Did Kev give you a lot of leeway?”
“My goodness. I didn’t dream you would think you were the sky.”
“I hit women, Iris. Haven’t you heard that I’m a ruffian of the Green family?”
“You’re not the type of man to carry rumors around, Eldheart.”
For a moment, Eldheart’s sharp gaze seemed to soften.
However, he soon frowned, as if he had noticed something strange about Rishi.
Eldheart raised his hand. His large hand was approaching Rishi’s cheek.
“Stop right there, Eldi.”
Jamie’s voice interrupted Eldi’s movement.
Jamie stepped between Rishi and Eldi.
“Jamie, it’s been a while. You’ve become prettier.”
Unlike when dealing with Rishi, Eldi gave Jamie a fresh smile.
“When did you come? If I had known, I would have locked the door in advance.”
“Even if you lock it, I’m not the one who can’t enter. Aren’t you looking down on the vice commander of the Knight Order too much?”
“I’m not looking down on you, Eldi. You’re just not that interesting.”
“You’re mad, Jamie.”
Eldi pressed Jamie’s forehead with his index finger.
“I hope you’re not getting angry because I was rude to that woman.”
“I wonder why you think it wouldn’t be, Eldi.”
“This is unbelievable. Don’t tell me you’re also enchanted by that woman.”
Jamie moved his hand towards his chest without responding.
Eldi hurriedly grabbed Jamie’s wrist.
“I want to believe that you’re not trying to draw your sword, Jamie.”
“When some man sneaks in and is rude to the Countess, I can’t just stand by and let it happen, can I, Eldi?”
“Some man… I’m Eldheart Green.”
“And you’re being rude to Iris Green, Eldi.”
As Jamie’s gaze grew heavier, Eldi slowly raised both of his hands.
“Okay, I lose. But.”
Eldi glanced at Rishi standing behind Jamie.
“Marriage is a matter of the family. I can’t accept that woman joining our family. The flower of the Witlow Duchy? Well, who knows if she’s really a flower or a weed?”
+++
Eldi walked down the corridor with a scowl.
There was something in Eldi’s eyes that others couldn’t see.
Although it was called a ‘soul’, it was more like resentment, obsession, or determination.
With that power, Eldi was able to determine the authenticity of the holy artifacts.
The Holy Kingdom called the holy artifacts ‘God’s Gifts’, but in reality, they were items created from the remaining human obsessions.
The woman known as “The Flower of the Withlo Dukedom”, Iris, had been expected to be a woman who appeared pure and frail, acted elegant, or behaved adorably. It was presumed that she would have captivated Kevrant’s heart with an attitude that pleases men.
That wasn’t the case.
When referred to as “The Flower of the Withlo Dukedom”, her soul, which glowed like a flame, was not of the kind that a woman who had been raised delicately confined in a mansion could possess.
Eldie had never seen such a type of soul.
You’re not the kind of man who attracts so much attention, Eldheart.
When Iris said that, he thought she might be an interesting woman. He almost opened up, thinking Kevrant might have fallen for such a trait.
‘What was that?’
At that moment, it seemed as if another soul overlapped with Iris’s soul.
As he reached out to try and grasp that, Jamie appeared. And the different soul that had been hovering near Iris’s face also hid its traces.
‘It’s the first time I’ve seen such a thing.’
Although Eldie can’t be called old, he had many experiences and met many people since he was in the Knights from his childhood.
But he had never seen symptoms like what had happened to Iris.
‘Was it the influence of the holy relic?’
There had been instances when the resentment left in the holy relic overlapped with the person dominated by the holy relic. But it was not in the same way as Iris.
The resentment of the holy relic clings clearly as if it can be peeled off anytime.
That ‘thing’ of Iris’s seemed to blend with Iris’s soul. It seemed like it couldn’t be removed no matter what, as if it was Iris’s soul itself.
‘The problem is, it’s quite captivating.’
It was captivating enough to be bewitched at a single glance, even though it was seen briefly.
‘Maybe Kevrant and Jamie were bewitched by that woman because of that soul.’
Kevrant was one thing, but Jamie was particularly cautious. He wasn’t the man who would offer kindness simply because his leader had chosen a woman.
The fact that such Jamie tried to draw his sword against Eldie to protect Iris means that he was seriously bewitched.
‘Iris Withlo might be a more dangerous woman than I thought.’
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…?
