But when I saw that he kicked the cigarette butt with his foot and didn’t pick it up again, I couldn’t stand it without retaliation.
‘Well, two cigarette butts in his nostrils, five in his mouth, and then sink deep into the sea would be perfect.’
I flicked my index finger, heavily imbuing his sleeve with magic power.
This was a message to Phaibel to pay special attention to this guy.
“Huh? But come to think of it, your face is quite decent.”
The guy, reaching into his pocket, bent over and, with a lewd attitude, looked at me.
As he looked quite funny and amusing, I became curious about how far he would go without saying anything.
“Oh, ignoring? Ignoring me as a servant won’t do you any good.”
The line’s banality was a perfect 10 out of 10.
Next up… would he try to tease me by saying I’m a servant at the Queen’s Palace?
“Oh, by any chance, are you a lady-in-waiting from the Queen’s Palace? If that’s the case, you should have told me in advance. I almost treated you the same as the other servants.”
Wow, he got it right.
Next, he would probably ask who the real queen was.
As soon as I thought that, the man smirked with a sleazy and pathetic laugh, wiping his palms together.
While he was calm, he had a fierce but not unpleasant appearance, and he was tall and well-built, overall quite decent. However, when his expression changed like that, it was unbearable to watch.
“Hey, among the twelve ladies present here, wouldn’t anyone tell me who the real queen is? If I become a spy, I’ll share the benefits with you.”
“Benefits?”
“Yeah! If I become a spy, the queen will give you various things. She might even give you some jewels. How about that?”
The maids brought from the Queen’s Palace had already been informed about how to deal with such situations. If participants approached and asked about the queen, they were supposed to designate one of the actors without hesitation. Pretending not to know would only lead to persistent questioning, so it was better to just point someone out and escape.
I never expected to receive such a low-class proposal.
“Oh, is that not enough? So I tried to create an atmosphere of being silent.”
While I was briefly thinking about something else, the trashy guy blabbered on.
“If I become a spy, I’ll spend time with you, so you won’t have any regrets. I won’t be with the queen all the time, and during the remaining time, I’ll look for you.”
Anyone who hears him might think he’s the emperor himself.
Listening to nonsense was starting to get annoying. At this point, I raised my hand to knock him out and stash him somewhere.
The magic power filled inside me was minuscule compared to the original, but still, it was now easy to make an ordinary person faint.
But right at that moment.
“Thud!”
Without a sound, Inyeong, who appeared behind the guy, swiftly slashed the back of his knee. Then, with a hint of personal feelings, she struck the back of his neck. I immediately recognized who she was.
‘Merem!’
No, how did she find out?
Did she recognize me?
The man fell with his face on the cigarette butt without making any noise. Merem deliberately stepped on him, pressing him firmly, and approached me with a furious look.
“Are you okay?”
“Uh, yeah.”
Wasn’t he exposed? Suppressing the urge to say, ‘Come on in,’ I bit my tongue.
If he hasn’t been caught yet, it means my disguise was perfect.
I cautiously glanced around and realized that there was no way to escape because the wall was behind me.
“Ah!”
While pondering what to do, Merem suddenly approached and embraced me, grabbing my waist.
Surprised by the sudden skinship, I pushed him away in a hurry. However, what was surprising was that Merem was so solid that he didn’t budge at all.
‘When did he grow this big?’
I knew he was a fully grown male, but he always walked a step away from me, so I had never felt this before.
“Let… go.”
Especially in summer, feeling his body heat through the thin fabric was uncomfortable.
Then Merem chuckled lightly and murmured slowly.
“A maid should say, ‘Let go.'”
“Pl… please let go.”
“Arrogant maid. She even commands the head of Astaroth.”
No, I did as instructed, what’s the problem?
More importantly, was her voice always this low and sweet?
When will she let go of my waist?
I can’t issue commands without revealing my identity.
However, since I’ve always been the one giving orders from birth, I didn’t know how to speak when in a position where I wasn’t the one in command.
“Actually, isn’t my acting quite inadequate?”
Merem, with me stuck to him, was looking elsewhere, lost in his thoughts.
There was no way out, no escape.
I was completely trapped by him, and the feeling was not only fresh but also tingling.
“Your name?”
“Ah… Ati.”
“Ati?”
“…Yes.”
As he questioned with a sly expression, I quickly attached a polite suffix.
But even so, Merem showed no reaction.
Throughout his short silence, a considerable amount of energy poured out from him like a waterfall. Feeling overwhelmed, I moistened my dry lips with my tongue.
And it was precisely at that moment.
“You need to learn my taste tonight.”
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…?
