If it really wasn’t implemented in this world, it was a serious problem. After level 90, it was quite necessary when crafting high-level items.
Although there was no blacksmithing skill to create weapons or armor, there were quests to upgrade items they had.
However, if some materials were not implemented, even if there was a quest, they couldn’t complete it.
“The reward experience is substantial. The item stats also improve.”
Looking at the quest list with regretful eyes, Ruela decided to think about this issue later.
Thinking that even if it’s not available now, once she reaches the required level and activates the quest navigation, she should be able to obtain information, Ruela decided to deal with the unpleasant matter that was right in front of her first and headed downstairs.
“Ruela, you don’t have to come down.”
Kite, who was looking out of the window beyond, approached Ruela and spoke.
“You didn’t come in yet?”
Ruela asked while looking at the empty hall.
“It seems they can’t be that pushy until the trade negotiations are over.”
“After the negotiations are done, they might get more aggressive.”
Kite simply nodded without saying anything.
“For now, we should deal with them as amicably as possible. Until we learn the 3rd-level defense system, we need to be friendly.”
Kite’s expression turned grim at Ruela’s words.
“Friendly? With Valder? No, there’s no need for that.”
“It’s not Valder; it’s the Kuran Royal Family. Also, Viscount Gart, who visited yesterday, seems to be starting to suspect us. So, until we can protect ourselves, it’s better to be cautious. We have family to protect, right?”
In response to Ruela’s words, Kite gazed at those inside the restaurant with a worried expression.
Although she had instructed them to stay inside for safety, someone had left the door open and was watching this side curiously.
“Yeah. I momentarily forgot that we have people to protect.”
“Let’s try to act as amicably as possible for the sake of victory, and let’s retreat after dealing with the matter.”
A bright smile appeared on Kite’s face.
“What’s good?”
“The word ‘us.’ It feels different from before.”
Understanding the meaning, Ruela’s cheeks turned slightly red.
“Cough. It should naturally be different. So, quickly prepare the weapon. That’s what I need the most right now.”
“Weapon?”
“I mean the ring.”
Kite’s laughter grew even larger.
“A ring as a weapon? I’ll get it ready right away. Since it’s not a situation to go all the way to Elab, I’ll go buy it in the central district later. We received a declaration of hostility, but if it’s a jewelry store dealing with nobles, they should know about the current situation and not refuse the visit of Count Elab.”
“All right. Shall we depart for the battlefield then?”
After taking a deep breath, Ruela energetically opened the front door across the hall.
“Ruela!”
As soon as they went outside, a familiar voice echoed in her ears.
When she made an inadvertent backward step upon making eye contact with Valder, Kite gently supported her from behind.
Feeling reassured with him behind her, Ruela tried her best to remain calm and said,
“Call me Romine. We’re not on such familiar terms anymore, are we?”
Despite attempting to act friendly, all thoughts of doing so disappeared when they faced each other. Valder’s expression turned hostile at her complaint.
Even with a neatly groomed face, it’s unclear why he feels so despicable, almost like a vile rat.
“We’re not on those terms?”
“Isn’t that obvious? We broke up, and your side even declared hostility towards me. The word ‘enemy.’ But you’re calling my name so casually? Or maybe you’re thinking of retracting the declaration now?”
Even though she had no intention of letting him call her by name, saying this seemed necessary to prevent crossing certain lines.
“Impossible. I’m the master of Valder Guild, ruling the Kuran Kingdom. I wouldn’t easily overturn a public declaration.”
Hayzen’s sarcastic remark caused Valder’s face to turn red with anger.
Even though being friendly seemed difficult, Ruela thought she shouldn’t provoke further. Carefully, she asked with a hint of a smile.
“Why did you come here?”
Even being careful not to show too much emotion, it was challenging not to give the other party an opportunity.
Speaking in a tone almost as if reading a book, she asked a sharp question.
The expression on Valder’s face distorted even more, but Ruela continued without paying much attention.
“You were the one who came to find me first.”
“Is that so? It was you who came to find me first.”
“So you sent a letter. Didn’t you see it?”
“A letter? I hadn’t confirmed it yet since I came here as soon as I heard that you attended the Wangsung Ball. What kind of letter did you send?”
“A letter inquiring about why Lady Camun tried to kill me. It’s also the reason why I came to your place.”
“Your place?”
Valder’s expression became even more distorted, but Ruela continued without caring at all.
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…?
