Despite their recent disrespectful treatment, looking at them like weak reeds, Count Lendor clenched his fist as if swallowing his rage.
“My son has longed for the commander’s position.”
Someone who remained in the conference room spoke to him, as if to comfort him.
It was Duke Anton Kilgis, who had kept his mouth shut since the meeting began.
“It’s good if it’s good. The empire cannot be without talent. Thanks to her, we can live with even more peace, can’t we?”
Count Lendor felt a slight chill at his words.
Whether it was the cold weather of the Kilgis Duchy where he grew up, or something in his aura, he felt an odd temperature difference.
“……Duke Your Highness. Do you think it makes sense that the representative of the empire is a woman? If my son had been given the training period, it would have been the same……!”
Count Lendor was affluent, and he did not hesitate to spend a lot of food supplies to get his son a knight commander’s position, even during the war.
But when Lucia took that position, he was angry at her, poor thing.
“Stop thinking about the past. As you say, she is a knight. Sharp and dangerous, but nothing more than a mere weapon that someone must handle.”
Duke Anton spat out these cold and unfeeling words without hesitation, patting the shoulders of the Count who recoiled at his energy.
[Star Icon]Eldarion Academy’s affiliated kindergarten.
There, the door to the principal’s office was wide open.
“I’m Emily Tangst. Nice to meet you!”
Greeting with a bright smile, she, with her neatly draped blonde hair, simple blouse and skirt, and a slightly worn bag, looked the part.
The staff members, who briefly nodded at her enthusiastic greeting, soon started to whisper.
“Is she the teacher who was supposed to come this time?”
“Oh my, yes. She’s the Countess of the Tangst family…….”
“What Countess? She lost her failing territory and was driven out, sitting on a mountain of debt. Well.”
“……Hehe. So, where’s my seat?”
Despite hearing their whispers, she smiled innocently.
At her smile, the kindergarten teachers, with awkward faces, began their work, pointing to a seat at the edge among many desks.
Emily Tangst, the new kindergarten teacher on her first day at work.
A noble family background, excellent education, gentle and soft smile.
No one would doubt that being a kindergarten teacher was her calling.
However.
‘Those wretches! I’ll see them in high society. I’ll make sure to use those mouths that mocked me wrongly today to sing my praises later!’
Yes, she had a bad temperament.
Or rather, closer to being a pure ambitious person.
Emily Tangst.
She was a young lady of a ruined count’s family, accustomed to looking down on people while associating with young ladies of similar status during her academy days; she was one of the rather ordinary noble young ladies.
But as her family’s status declined, and the young ladies who had been with her left, she became pitiable, having even lost a good marriage prospect.
But she couldn’t give up like this.
A way to find a good marriage in a nearly commonerlevel lowered family status.
It was bright, kind, raising children well, and the most popular profession among today’s men as a wise housekeeper.
That is, becoming the teacher of the empire’s only kindergarten.
“Huhu, just wait and see. How far I’ll go…….”
“Teacher. Emily teacher?”
“Yes!? Yes! How far are we going?”
She, who was dreaming of revenge with a scary face, was startled and talked nonsense at the sound of someone calling her.
“To the principal’s office. The principal teacher is calling you.”
The teacher who was surprised by Emily’s reaction quickly moved out of the way.
Emily, who was almost bowing to the retreating figure of that middleaged teacher, seemed a little less rigid.
When she opened the door to the staff room, she started hearing the back talk about her from beyond the door.
‘……Tch. They’re all swagger now. Those nobles of barely a Viscount or Baron’s lineage. If it were like the old times, they would have been crawling at my feet.’
From that gentle and rabbitlike face, could the spit force be a delusion?
She seemed unable to forget her days as queen bee at the academy.
“Tsk…….”
She naturally stuck to the corridor window, loosening her facial muscles, and stretched her chin.
Then, as if something was stuck between her teeth, she made a sucking noise and thoroughly wiped the lipstickstained corner of her mouth with her finger.
When someone closed the window, the sunlight reflected in the glass disappeared, and the classroom was clearly visible.
And the children whose eyes met hers.
“……Principal!”
“……!!!”
They pointed at themselves, calling out.
The children soon started laughing cheerfully.
Surprised by this, she composed her expression and quickly checked the classroom, but fortunately, there were no adults, as it was break time.
Thank goodness.
She could tease the children.
She could do it.
She could do it…….
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…?
