If not, that villainess will take her place in the middle of the royal palace along with Marboro’s succession, and she will surely mess with the country.
When I heard the news that they divorced after the wedding, I thought it was better.
If only the divorce is done, the order for Ellen’s assassination would be lifted. I didn’t have to hear about the unfortunate death of Count Maurice’s wife.
But Philip is the one bringing up the divorce cancellation first?
Fred considered telling Philip about the king’s order but held back.
The story of a man who fell in love, even temporarily, and wouldn’t divorce, was detrimental to the grand plan.
It could ruin everything Philip had prepared to put Marboro on the throne.
“Think again, Philip. Who is Countess Maurice? It could be her scheme.”
Fred tried to convince Philip with another reason.
“You’ll be deceived. And you’ll be talked about behind the nobles’ backs.”
Philip covered and uncovered his mouth several times with his hands.
“I’m willing to handle what happens because of this.”
Then, a foolish smile, like that of a man in love, appeared on Philip’s face.
“…!”
Seeing that, Fred realized that he couldn’t change Philip’s mind.
After a moment of contemplation, he deliberately took out a pocket watch and declared a recess.
He intended to ask the king’s intentions again.
“It’s already this late. I need to go to the palace.”
“Go to the palace?”
“I’ve been going to the palace almost every day lately.”
He stood up and tapped Philip on the shoulder.
“Tomorrow is the judgment day, right? I can’t violate the law, but I’ll consider the direction that will help your life.”
The next day, Fred, accompanied by a magistrate and a prefect, found Philip and Prefect Vermilion already seated.
“Welcome, Judge Fred.”
Judge Fred had short blue hair, and above it, a white Phrygian cap (a hemispherical hat, also called a baguette hat) and a pure white priest’s robe were worn.
When Prefect Vermilion greeted first, the judge smiled.
“Good morning, Prefect Vermilion. You came out early.”
“I came out early. It’s all thanks to our friend Maurice, who doesn’t know day from night.”
Philip, unusually, sat with crossed legs, holding his fist.
Seeing Philip, full of dissatisfaction, Vermilion, who sensed the atmosphere, solemnly made the sign of the cross, invoking the name of God.
Fred examined the two alternately, then chuckled and made a joking remark.
“Philip seems to have come quite early. Was today a day you’ve been looking forward to so much?”
Philip’s forehead was clearly wrinkled.
“…I know everything. I don’t want to hear jokes.”
“Your attitude seems a bit ill-tempered today.”
Instead of responding, Philip just kept his mouth shut.
Fred was pretending not to know Philip’s feelings while remaining loyal to the king. Yet, he wasn’t just standing by, especially in response to Philip’s crazy actions the night before.
Returning to the lodging, Philip lay on the bed, but sleep didn’t come easily. It was because of the anxiety about tomorrow’s judgment.
He hoped that Ellen would also choose divorce cancellation. There were times when he thought Ellen would never divorce him.
But reality was a different story. Considering the atmosphere so far, it seemed like the divorce would be confirmed.
‘Ah, how do you cancel a divorce?’
Tossing and turning, Philip came up with something that an ordinary person wouldn’t consider.
‘What if I secretly take the documents without handing them in?’
As long as he doesn’t get caught.
Even if it’s known that the documents are missing, the responsibility would fall on Judge Fred, who is responsible for the documents.
It’s Fred’s responsibility to manage the documents.
Even if someone broke in by force, it’s his fault for not having a proper security system in advance.
If Fred is flustered by the missing documents before tomorrow’s trial, Philip can defend him with another reason.
‘In fact, there has never been such documents.’
Anyone interested can come to see the trial, but usually, there are few people interested in the divorce of an ordinary couple.
Philip predicted who he would encounter in the trial tomorrow.
The judge who reads and decides on the documents submitted by Philip and Ellen.
A priest who conducts a repentance ceremony for the results of a vow made before God, which the couple couldn’t keep.
The husband or wife, or both, who are parties to the divorce.
‘If I can resolve it without any problems up to here…’
Vermilion will turn a blind eye to Fred’s fault since they are close.
The administrator who will leave a court record is loyal to Fred, so there was no worry.
As for Ellen, he didn’t know how she would react, but she probably wouldn’t make a big fuss immediately. Since she’s unfamiliar with the laws of this world after possessing someone.
‘If Ellen dislikes it, I should try to persuade her to submit divorce documents again. But only after Marboro ascends to the throne.’
If it goes that far, Philip’s actions will become relatively free afterward.
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…?
