She laughed as if being called ‘beautiful’ was a compliment.
“Milady… please.”
Now even the temple side was embarrassed. However, Elcias turned her gaze, paying no attention.
She looked up and down at me, then burst into laughter as if amused.
“By any chance, are you Kashaar’s fiancée?”
Before I could answer, Elcias murmured as if amazed.
“I heard you used to be a governess. Taking care of the kids, right?”
At this point, it was rather awkward on my part.
“Diagnosed too early; have you gone mad?”
From Elciase, there was no sign of limited temperament or innate elegance. I tried to correct her words, but that was also completely ignored.
“They’re not kids; he is the crown prince.”
“Anyway, isn’t it the same thing? A job of wiping noses and cleaning up after a child. Ugh, just imagining it is disgusting. I really can’t stand children. Oh, of course, I’ll treat my own child well, so don’t worry, Your Grace!”
Elciase, as if finding even the thought repulsive, brushed her hand as if flicking away dirt and smiled broadly.
‘And this woman healed the hearts of the twins?’
It was almost better to believe that the original Eileen had come back to life.
Stunned, I spoke, and she added another remark.
“Well, since we’re engaged. Isn’t that something you can break anytime?”
Elciase leaned towards me, smiling coyly, and whispered something in my ear that only I could hear.
“Kashaar will love me. There’s no other choice.”
Seen up close, Elciase’s expression was chillingly cold.
Before she could distance herself from me, Kashaar pulled me into his arms.
“Listen, listen, and you’ll realize I’m not in my right mind.”
His voice was irritating, and he continued, “I didn’t bring a saint; I didn’t hire a money-grubbing woman. Get out of my castle right now.”
The surroundings sank into a chilly silence. It was a situation that could easily escalate into a major confrontation with the temple.
‘What’s going on?’
I was worried that Kashaar might fall for Elciase, but her personality and the impulsive situation were entirely unexpected.
During the silence, a sigh was heard from somewhere.
“Well, since we’ve just met, I understand Kashaar’s reaction.”
It was Elciase’s voice.
“Of course, you have to show it to be believed.”
She smiled as if she understood everything, then clasped her hands. Soon, a bright light gathered in Elciase’s hands.
It was divine power.
The brighter and whiter the divine power, the more powerful it was. Elciase’s divine power was so bright that it stung the eyes.
The saint was right.
With that level of divine power, it seemed possible to revive even someone struggling to breathe.
Elciase approached Kashaar, holding the gathered divine power.
“I can lift your curse.”
“What?”
Kashaar raised an eyebrow at Elciase, who was muttering about the curse.
I was also perplexed.
‘How does Elciase know that Kashaar’s madness is a curse?’
In the original story, Elciase released Kashaar’s curse, but it was an action done without knowing anything.
‘Elciase must have realized the power of the saint, and the curse was released.’
It happened while taking care of Kashaar.
I didn’t know how she knew, but it was certainly a fortunate event.
However, why was I so uneasy?
‘If the curse is lifted, will Kashaar fall for Elciase?’
It was all because of that damn black rabbit’s nonsense.
“Chiu…”
Before Kashaar could finish speaking.
“Naara, yab!”
Elciase pushed the divine power in the direction where Kashaar was, like throwing a basketball.
The spherical divine power touched Kashaar’s body.
However, nothing happened.
‘Shouldn’t the curse disappear with an explosion of red light?’
When the curse is lifted, the pledge also disappears.
The pledge drawn on Kashaar’s back evaporates, drawing a large circle and disappearing.
“What? This can’t be happening.”
Even Elciase seemed confused.
Waiting for a change that never came, Elciase began making unreasonable demands.
“Kashaar-nim, please show me your back!”
“My back?”
“Yes. There’s a drawing on your back!”
When Kashaar responded, Elciase’s eyes twinkled.
On the other hand, his gaze froze cold.
“How do you know that?”
Even amidst the silence of all, Elciase also stiffened.
“Oh, that’s… well, the goddess told me!”
Elciase awkwardly laughed.
Kashaar commanded Pervelev as if he couldn’t stand it anymore.
“If you want to take her to the mountain, get rid of this thing right now.”
“No! It’s because I’ve become a saint not too long ago. It’s a problem that time will solve!”
Elciase was still stubborn.
Perhaps thinking it was enough, Pervelev pushed his way between them.
“Saint, it’s better for you to go back now. Let someone else receive the first blessing.”
“I don’t want to! Mikael is not here, and the Duke is here. Who should I give the blessing to?!”
A struggle of words continued between Pervelev and Elciase.
Unnoticed, I found myself pondering her words.
‘Why is Mikael coming out here?’
It was strange to mention Mikael all of a sudden when talking about the curse.
As if she knew about the original work.
“I hate it! Let go of this! I won’t go!”
In the meantime, Pervelev forcibly pushed Elciase into the carriage with the priests.
The carriage door was locked from the outside.
“Open this!”
Bang, bang!
Elciase continued kicking the door, seemingly unable to control her anger.
Pervelev wiped his dry face. While doing so, he didn’t forget to glare at Kashaar.
“You’ll regret refusing the goddess’s blessing.”
Then the carriage moved.
The knights and high-ranking priests were also moving away from the Duke’s mansion.
‘Why is there such a development?’
The departing group felt like an illusion.
“What a waste of time.”
Kashaar, with an irritated tone, embraced me.
As if trying to calm down, he deeply breathed on my neck.
‘What will happen from now on?’
He met the female protagonist, but Kashaar’s curse was not lifted.
It meant that the continued life of captivity awaited us.
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…?
