Ah, strictly speaking, it hasn’t been that long!
Being this close. Even when chased by the princess, we rode the horse together.
‘But then… it was a life-and-death situation. It was no time for warmth or anything.’
Hmm, and now too!
‘It’s probably for medical reasons since I’m not feeling well.’
Because Ian knows my feelings.
‘So…’
However, contrary to Brody’s thoughts, her emotions continued to stir her heart.
To be honest, she felt good.
Feeling his warmth like this. Once again feeling his kindness.
So Brody relaxed and leaned on him before speaking.
“Your Highness, what happened afterwards? Was I unconscious for a long time?”
Brody’s voice trembled faintly as she asked.
It wasn’t that her body was still shaking, but… maybe if she looked too well, he would push her away. In a desire to share more warmth, her quiet answer was overly emphasized.
‘Uh…, what are you doing, Brody. You’re messing up the mood.’
Regardless of Brody’s inner thoughts, fortunately, Ian did not push her away.
He began to answer her question while gently patting her shoulder.
The day Brody fainted, and Ian collided with the princess.
Great flames rose around them.
Turning his horse to face the princess, Ian drew his sword.
Resonating with Ian’s energy, the sword shone blue and hummed.
“Step back, Princess. Otherwise, I’ll have no choice but to charge with the intent to kill.”
The princess smiled faintly in response.
Her expression was as mischievous as before, but her smile wasn’t as bright.
There was a hint of madness in her eyes, which was uncharacteristic.
“You’ll have no choice but to, anyway.”
The princess moved closer to Ian.
The white horse and the black horse began to circle each other slowly, measuring their distances.
Princess Maila lifted the corners of her beautiful lips and said,
“Do you not think it’s reckless? A dog that has obeyed for 300 years suddenly abandons its master and charges.”
Contrary to the content, her voice and tone were incredibly gentle.
Ignoring the strange tension, Ian answered with a cold expression.
“If a dog that’s followed for 300 years tries to kill its master, maybe it’s time for the master to reflect. If you were capable of that, we wouldn’t be in this situation.”
“The dog blames the master?”
“It’s better than the master blaming the dog.”
The princess stopped circling, shrugged her shoulders.
“Well, I won’t deny that the royal family was unjust. If blaming my father’s mistakes on me is fair, then I accept the criticism.”
As Ian watched silently, the princess placed her hand on her chest and slightly bowed her head.
“I apologize.”
An apology from the princess wouldn’t change anything.
Not a single chip of ice in his heart could melt with just a word.
Ian answered with an unenthusiastic expression.
“I’m not interested in such an apology. Go back. Or I’ll take your attempt to take away my wife as a declaration of war. The North is already out of patience.”
Maila raised her head, and her hair swayed softly.
“Oh, taking her away? I just wanted to ask for her opinion. But since she’s unconscious, I can’t hear it from her directly. It’s unfortunate.”
The deeply colored golden hair seemed to shimmer more intensely in the reflection of the burning flames.
A shadow moved eerily across the princess’s face.
She glanced elegantly at Brody and her beautiful lips moved.
“But why did she lose consciousness?”
The princess spurred her horse once more.
The sudden movement caused Aidan’s horse to back off slightly, startled by the flame touching its tail, it hastily sprinted forward.
Balance between the princess and Aidan almost broke, but Kais, soothed by Aidan, quickly stabilized, and the two horses started to circle again.
“Pale skin, blue veins standing out, a stiff body and cold breath. Ah, your lips are turning purple and trembling. You look like you’re frozen.”
Squeeze. Unknowingly, Aidan’s hand holding the reins tightened.
It was a minute movement, but had the princess noticed?
The princess spoke at the right time.
“Have you considered what it means to take her to the north?”
Aidan felt the icy presence of Brody before him.
She was indeed breathing but was also frozen.
The princess turned her head persistently to look at Brody and spoke.
“Yes, the woman before you must be tempting. An indispensable talent for the north.”
“Amusing. The ones who intimidated her were you people.”
The princess smiled. It sounded like she said, “So, what?”
Again, the princess, Maira, spoke.
“Did she willingly say she wants to go to the north? That she wants to become the duke’s wife?”
“….”
It was true but also not true.
Without the pressure from the princess and Jax… would Brody have willingly come to the north?
The princess seemed not to wait for Aidan’s answer and opened her mouth.
“What did you seduce her with? Promised to make her a duchess, a goddess in the north? Or—”
The princess scanned Aidan from head to toe, briefly sticking out her tongue to lick her lips.
“Promised to love her passionately, day and night?”
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…?
