When Count Raine asked with a perplexed expression, Kite explained, “Some may accept it easily, but there may be others who don’t. It’s about giving time for reflection and decision-making. Of course, time for persuasion as well. Meanwhile, I will inspect the borders and villages to ensure there are no remaining monsters.”
“Yes, Your Excellency. I will do my best during the week.”
Count Raine once again raised his hand in salute and left with his wife and commoners.
“Aren’t we leaving immediately?”
Hazen asked with a doubtful expression as Kite mentioned scouting the borders and villages.
“We’ll depart tomorrow at dawn. Rest well today.”
“Yeehaw!”
As Tien leaped up, shouting cheers, everyone burst into laughter.
“I can’t remember the last time I laughed so loudly.”
Mitchell said, patting Tien’s head.
“I’m really, really happy.”
When Raphaël smiled at Luela, the gaze of other colleagues also turned towards her.
Though they never explicitly expressed it, they were more pleased about keeping Luela safe than defeating Duke Kuran.
Luela could sense their feelings without being told, so she smiled back at them.
“Luela, we need to bring Shuna tomorrow too. Pack the luggage in advance.”
Luela grinned at Kite’s words.
“We have to bring Shuna too?”
“Yeah, after confirming the border area, we’ll head straight to Hellane. I want to pay my respects to my grandfather and let the nobles know about you.”
Kite’s gaze shifted towards the ring Luela was wearing.
Understanding the meaning, a smile spread across Luela’s face.
Realizing that the visit wasn’t just to request support, it felt like she had officially become a part of this world.
“Will your grandfather like me?”
“Of course. You don’t need to worry about that.”
In response to Kite’s reassurance, the friends nodded, indicating agreement.
“Got it. I’ll prepare to leave without any worries. You will come back, right?”
“Yeah. I’ll stay here until the situation stabilizes. And, officially, I need to receive the title of Duke Kuran. It will take time for the region to stabilize, and also, there’ll be a period needed to get close to the people as the owner of this territory. We made a promise, right? If we defeat Duke Kuran, he said he would grant a title as a reward. And when the territory is stable, we’ll go to Hellane. Originally, I planned to go to Leor, but it’s better to establish Luela’s position in Hellane as soon as possible.”
Title. And the corresponding territory.
Thinking about acquiring wealth made him happy, but more than that, a corner of his heart felt secure.
It was like receiving permission to firmly step foot on this land and live here.
“Is it really that great? Your smile hasn’t faded.”
In response to Hazen’s words, Luela nodded vigorously, expressing the emotions she was currently feeling.
“Permission… I didn’t know you were thinking about it that way.”
“Don’t make such a serious expression. I just poured all my strength into coming here with the goal of defeating Duke Kuran, but now that the task is done, it feels somewhat empty. I felt like my purpose was over. However, going to Hellane, giving greetings, receiving a title, and gaining territory, it makes me realize that now I am standing on this land not just as Luela’s vessel but as myself.”
Kite approached and held her hand.
Then, he pressed his lips on the back of her hand for a while before releasing and said, “Never think like that again. Even without those titles and territories, the Luela I know is right in front of me.”
“Yes, don’t ever think like that. Luela is our family and friend now, even without such things,” added Hazen.
Other friends chimed in, agreeing with Hazen’s sentiments.
Luela nodded emphatically, “Yes, I am Luela Romin, your family and friend. So, please take care of me from now on!”
After finishing her words, she greeted them with a bright smile, and the people burst into laughter once again.
“Sorry to interrupt your excitement, but let’s talk while eating. Emma prepared some dishes for us; it’s been a while since she showcased her skills.”
Upon Emma’s words, Rapha remembered that they had been fasting all day and seized her stomach, saying, “Let’s eat while discussing, then.”
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…?
