‘No, it’s rather fortunate. Only one person.’
Unfortunately, this embarrassment belonged to everyone.
“Hey, what are you talking about now! Who likes who… Huh? Captain Leon?”
“P-Princess…!?”
And then, one by one, more children came out.
Even the lively Roy, whom he saw during the picnic, and the sage of the Kilgis Kingdom.
Everyone had sneaked into the empty office of the Black Knights to convince Lucia.
“Hyung-ah, Roy understands. Black Knight Nia’s mom is pretty.”
“Commander of the White Knights. I don’t know if you’re into married women, but nice to see you again after the musical instruments.”
“Ah…”
One after another, sighs of despair came out of Leon’s slightly open mouth.
‘Please, someone tell me it’s a dream…’
In disbelief in the situation, he leaned against the wall.
And after calming down a bit, when he turned back, the children were pointing at him and discussing something.
“Then Ivan won’t admit it!!!!”
“Hey, so it’s okay if Nia leaves!?”
“Well, umm…”
Though Shael didn’t know what was said, Ivan vehemently opposed it.
But soon, Roy supported Shael’s words.
“Ivannu, my mom says the same. Remarriage is not a problem these days!”
“What is remarriage?”
“It’s something about getting married again! Roy’s mom often says that when she’s angry.”
“Is that so? Your house seems to have issues too. Huh, worrying about remarriage at my age. What can I do? It’s a bit strange, but if Ivannu marries Captain Leon, it’s fine.”
“Ugh, anyway, you speak well.”
Shael mocked, and chubby Ivan crossed his short arms sullenly.
After concluding their meeting in this way, the children rushed towards Leon.
And at the forefront, Shael grabbed his military robe.
“Captain Leon, Captain Leon. Shael has a favor to ask.”
“Yes, Your Highness. If you’re looking for a way back to kindergarten, I can…”
“If it’s so good, why not propose?”
“…What?”
“Shael knows. You’re the number one groom. Since we don’t want Nia to leave, Captain Leon, marry and let Nia continue going to kindergarten. Okay?”
Simple, right? With a facial expression that said so, Shael blinked her innocent eyes.
It was an enchanting proposal as delightful as the sweet pink hair of a child.
But Leon was an adult living in reality.
‘A proposal.’
Just such a proposal would not erase the fact that Lucia declared she would conquer the kingdom. If it becomes a reality, at least there would be a reason to follow.
However,
“…Your Highness, there probably won’t be such a thing.”
For some reason, the children fell silent at Leon’s bitter tone.
But as persistently as ever, Shael rolled her eyes with a determined expression.
“Gee. Well, then, we have to ask our big brother. It’s not bad for Shael if Nia becomes her niece.”
“Wait, what? No, that must never happen, Princess Shael.”
Leon firmly refused, as if saying those words to himself.
Seeing the serious expression on Leon’s face, Shael rolled her eyes disapprovingly. This time, Roy pointed his finger at the plump Ivan.
“Whoa! Bad guy! Mom said so! Being ambiguous, not giving and taking is bad for guys!”
“Hey, is that so? You disappoint me, Ivannu!”
Becoming a bad guy in an instant, Leon, as the angry gazes of the chicks gathered, found himself unable to say anything.
At this point, Leon, an Imperial Knight, was being played with by these little invaders.
However, the commotion was short-lived. Now, a voice that had been quiet so far became louder.
“So, what are we going to do now? We can’t just waste time like this. Wouldn’t it be better to spend this time with friends for another day?”
To call these words the words of a five-year-old would be too inexperienced. Evan’s words carried too much experience.
As static settled in response to Evan’s solemn words,
“Ah, I apologize in front of you, Your Highness. I just…”
Even Evan, who unintentionally raised his voice, closed his mouth.
And then, someone started sobbing.
“…Evan’s words are right. You have to be valuable. Nia is Roy’s first friend. Huh, huiing….”
The first friend.
That’s right.
Even the Princess who hadn’t opened her heart to Nia, the delinquent Evan, who used to only hang out with boys, and perhaps even Evan, who currently denies it.
All the children here were experiencing friendship for the first time.
Roy, who had shed tears and runny nose, clung to Leon, the adult in this place.
And the children who were sniffing also burst into tears and one by one hugged him.
“Roy, don’t be funny. Evan is my first friend. Huh, huiiiing.”
“……Shael is the same. Grr, so, therefore. Therefore. Let’s quickly go meet Nia’s mom. If not today, we can go again tomorrow. Right?”
“…….”
Listening to the words of those children, Evan, instead, distanced himself from Leon.
But there was a child standing there with a face that wouldn’t be strange even if tears fell right now.
And watching Evan, who had distanced himself, and the crying children in his arms, Leon thought.
‘…I really want to cry.’
Children more honest with their emotions than himself.
To such children, Leon had words to say as an adult.
“Nia’s mother may have circumstances that cannot be changed even if you go to see her. So, sending her off in a way that she won’t forget will be a way to anticipate the future….”
Like that, he was uttering textbook-like words almost as a habit, words he couldn’t admit to himself.
At that moment, in the Sparrow Half Classroom.
Even though the last class of the day would soon begin, the always noisy classroom had only Nia sitting alone.
At this time, Cesar, who had been somewhere, saw Nia alone and hesitantly approached.
“Nia, it’s time for the outdoor class now. Uh, let’s go quickly.”
Even with Cesar’s vague words, Nia just rolled her eyes with her small hand clutched.
And then, she muttered sadly.
“Cesar… Your Highness and Ivannu are busy.”
“Ah, th-that’s. Princess Shael left something at the palace, something really big, so she went with the kids. Oh, ohaha….”
“……Uung, if that’s the case.”
A forced smile at an unbelievable lie.
For Cesar, who had never told a lie in his life, it was too harsh a command from the princess.
But Nia believed Cesar and stood up together.
It was fortunate.
However, her heart was far from comfortable.
The child who always laughed among the aggressive friends, now had no energy like a water plant shaking in the water. That’s why it wasn’t as easy as it seemed.
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…?
