However, in the enraged Marquis’s head, the resentment against the Marchioness escalated into a chaotic mess, raising his voice.
“……. ”
Christina, who came down to the garden, looked up at the splendid main building of the Julius mansion.
Then, she calmly opened her bag, took out a cigar and a cigarette holder, lit the cigar, and bowed her head.
“…I thought this was Arthur’s territory.”
A man’s voice was heard from the front.
“……. ”
Not surprised, Christina took a little more time to ignite the cigar and raised her head.
Huh. After exhaling the cigarette smoke, she looked at Lionel and gestured with the cigarette holder.
“I know too. It’s his territory.”
“……. ”
Christina brought the cigarette holder back to her lips and gestured towards Lionel again.
“Light it up. It seems you arrived first. I apologize for the intrusion.”
“…….”
Christina stared at him, lit her cigarette holder again, and took a puff.
Lionel, who had hidden his hand behind his back, contemplating, gave up and pulled out the cigar he had concealed in front of Christina.
But instead of lighting the cigar, he stepped aside from his position.
“No, it’s fine. If you step aside, I will leave.”
Christina was standing near the entrance of the garden. It didn’t completely block the entrance, but it was a distance that could be considered impolite for a lady and a man who weren’t family to pass closely by.
“…….”
Christina looked at him, took another puff of her cigarette, blew out the smoke, and said, “I don’t plan to drive away the knights of that person’s territory. Please don’t make me commit a discourtesy.”
“…….”
In the end, it was a declaration that neither of them would give each other an excuse.
Lionel stood silently with an uncomfortable expression.
Christina chuckled and picked up her cigar.
“Need a light?”
“No.”
Lionel declined. He didn’t want to give her any excuses. Besides, the feeling of puffing on a cigar had long departed.
“As an apology for the previous incident, I could lend you a light for the cigar. Too bad.”
“…….”
Lionel replied calmly, “If it’s an apology, I received it from the Marquis.”
“…….”
Christina smirked and said nothing more.
Since Christina didn’t step aside, Lionel eventually retreated to the corner where he had stood and turned away from her, clenching his fist.
Without lighting the cigar, he just waited as if keeping a distance, perhaps waiting for Christina to leave.
Christina brought her cigarette holder to her lips a few more times, inhaled the cigarette smoke, burned half of one cigar in that spot, then discarded it as if her interest had waned, and got up.
It seemed a bit earlier than planned, and the cigar burned brighter as it caught Lionel’s eye.
“…….”
Looking down at Christina turning away, Lionel said, “Lord Arthur doesn’t come this way.”
Christina replied as she left, “I know.”
Dylan Osborne, who expressed his intention to return as Arthur’s adjutant through Tristan, came in a wheelchair to find Arthur.
With a burning gaze, truly after a long time.
“…….”
“…….”
After everyone except Tristan withdrew from the vicinity.
Dylan Osborne ground his teeth.
“A sham marriage.”
“…….”
Overwhelmed with anger, Dylan struck the armrest of the wheelchair with a clenched fist.
“……A blind marriage!”
“…….”
Fortunately, according to the result of the magic investigation, no one was listening.
Arthur, looking awkward, glanced at Tristan once and then at Dylan, scratching his forehead.
“Um……. Thank you for returning, first…….”
There was nothing more to say.
“……Keep it a secret from Lucan.”
Having heard about the difficulties he faced as Arthur’s closest knight, Dylan Osborne rushed to his side with astonishing speed.
Despite still being unable to walk, he vigorously pushed the wheelchair, overcoming his stubborn father.
Fortunately, Dylan Osborne’s vision loss due to poison seemed to be improving to some extent.
Nevertheless, Dylan strongly insisted that he could not see ahead, willingly offering to become an external excuse for Arthur’s confidential medical treatment.
Arthur was a bit awkward, but he welcomed Dylan’s return.
He hoped his cherished comrade would regain the will to live, and they needed someone who could be a symbol for the legionnaires.
And a group of people arrived at Julius’s estate.
“Madam! Julius is finally here.”
A middle-aged lady with neatly tied black hair under an elegant hat looked beyond the carriage window at the fertile autumn landscape.
Despite being over fifty, she appeared to be in her thirties, with a beautiful appearance.
“So it’s Julius. It’s been a while.”
“You’ve been through a lot. Isn’t it uncomfortable riding the carriage for so long?”
“It’s okay. You’ve all worked hard.”
“We went through hard times. Thanks to you for coming with us.”
The soft voices of maids flowed inside the carriage.
“Master!”
The butler rushed in a hurry and reported.
“Rembrandt, the imperial maids have arrived. B-but as their guide, Duke Pearl’s wife has also come!!”
“What? Who’s coming?”
The Marquis opened his eyes wide, and the Marquise quickly got up.
Duchess Pearl.
As the Emperor’s sister and the one who adopted Arthur into the ‘Loas Chevalier.’
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…?
