Using Shukadi’s teleportation magic, Sharati and Ren arrived at the summit of a mountain quite far from Sephia Village. The purpose was to avoid being conspicuous to the noble procession coming up from below the mountain.
And inside the pocket of Sharati’s fur coat, there was a note hidden at some point. It was a note left by the Crophle Mercenary Unit the night before, indicating the location of the hidden food supplies for the two. Thanks to this, they no longer had to worry about food during their journey back.
“It’s fortunate that the wind isn’t too strong yet. If the snowstorm gets severe, it would be difficult to maintain visibility.”
“Shar, be careful where you step.”
“Yeah, don’t worry.”
However, due to Sharati stumbling in the snow piled up to her ankles, she had to cling to Ren and move just like before.
“This actually seems more dangerous…”
“Are you serious about what you just said?”
Although there were occasional minor conflicts, there was no unnecessary stubbornness or a mood downturn like before. The time spent exchanging casual conversations with Ren was comfortable.
As Sharati became more open to conversation and less awkward, Ren actively led the conversations.
“-That little doctor seems more mature for her age.”
“Oh, you mean Tane’s way of speaking?”
Ren had a lot of interest in Sharati, especially about her surroundings. He didn’t ask directly about the Biretta family, how he knew them, and how they spent time together. Still, he wanted to know about those close to her who had opened up to her.
“When Tane was younger, Grandma’s colleagues used to visit our house a lot, and it was a bit unusual for rookie mercenaries to meet the legendary Grandma who was an active mercenary at the time.”
Seeing the mercenaries behaving in a highly tense manner in front of Biretta, young Tane’s eyes had sparkled.
And he asked.
[Hey, is Grandma scary?]To the innocent question of a child who was scared because his grandmother was too strong, the rookie mercenaries collectively nodded. They patted the child’s small head, whispering like giving him a big lesson.
[It’s because we respect your grandma, little one.]Whether that one teaching had left a deep impression on the child’s values, after that day, Tane diligently practiced using honorifics.
Since then, Tane practiced using honorifics diligently, as he respected his strong grandmother, his sister who raised him, and his smart teacher. So, without realizing it, his way of speaking became unexpectedly mature for a child.
“Grandma said that unlike other families, there is no adult man in our house, so Tane seems to want to become an adult man who can protect Grandma and Birena unconsciously.”
“That makes sense. He’s a thoughtful kid.”
Tane was recognized by Ren to the point of acknowledgment, being responsible and more observant than children of the same age.
“Kids can be selfish, even if they’re observant.”
Being quick-witted meant that one had seen a lot of things.
“Grandma always feels sorry for not providing an environment where Tane can play around freely.”
Tane never asked why they had to move like running away, or who his parents were. He wasn’t curious about why Sharati, who wasn’t family, was with them, or how she got burned and lost her voice.
Growing up with the love of Grandma and his sister instead of his parents, Tane matured too quickly.
“Are both siblings like that?”
“Yeah, Birena is similar to Tane. They really resemble each other a lot.”
Sharati laughed cheerfully.
Even though they were step-siblings, whether it was due to inheriting strong blood from their mother or not, Birena and Tane had similar stubbornness and thought processes. The sister earned money for her brother, and the brother studied for his sister. And Biretta became a reliable fence for her grandchildren.
The mutual desire for each other’s family happiness was something Sharati could never feel.
“Does moving happen frequently?”
“Well, we’ve moved quite often until now. It’s probably because if you stay somewhere for too long, personal information tends to get revealed.”
“So, the small log house we’re living in now might eventually be left behind.”
“Well… It’s a small village in the middle of the mountains, and there are no doctors or strong individuals in the village right now. So, we hope to stay here for a while. Grandma revealed she’s a mercenary, so we’re getting various help.”
Of course, it was a job that couldn’t be relieved because the situation requiring escape wasn’t forewarned and didn’t come to find them.
‘Creating a refuge near the cave the day after acquiring the small log house was also for precaution.’
Now that she thought about it, she realized she hadn’t made a new refuge yet. With her mind scattered in various directions, she had completely forgotten about the refuge-related issues.
‘…Ah, the sword!’
Suddenly, the sword buried in the ground near the collapsed cave bothered her.
‘Does Ren, who said he wouldn’t seek memories, really need to see that sword?’
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…?
