In fact, he had not been in Cryer’s service for long, and Cryer had not given him any tasks, but Isaac had derived an assessment close to reality through his finely honed survival instincts developed throughout his life in Arkendale.
“If you want to work, I don’t need to force you to rest. Fine. That servant went back to the lodging, claiming to be unwell.”
“Then I’ll investigate if he’s using being unwell as an excuse for mischief.”
“No, he didn’t seem that foolish. Instead, try gathering information from those close to that servant.”
“Hasn’t the investigator already looked into it?”
“You’re not the investigator.”
At Olivia’s firm words, Isaac hesitated on how to react to Moore again, but instinctively, he cleanly turned his gaze away from her.
With his fox-like eyes half-furrowed, he scratched his cheek, then lowered his head.
“I’ll take the orders.”
So Isaac left, but Ambh, still sitting there, was toying with the teacup that had already cooled and opened her mouth.
“About that temple. I couldn’t recognize the pattern, but… it’s a temple of an ancient god, right?”
“Yes. There’s no need to build a temple for another god now.”
Having thoroughly searched the temple before it collapsed, Ambh immediately began sketching the shape of the temple.
Soon, the rough outline of the temple was revealed, and Ambh, touching a part of it, said,
“He mentioned that there was an altar in the underground. This was the entrance leading to the underground. And since the wall collapsed, there’s a chance to investigate it more…”
“No. Confirming that there is a temple and an altar is enough.”
“Yes? But…”
Ambh chuckled and tilted her head.
“You can know what’s going on inside without seeing it. If there’s an altar in the temple, it’s obvious.”
Olivia gave a bitter smile towards Ambh.
“You’ve experienced it firsthand.”
“Ah! That’s right! Sacrifices! They said they would offer sacrifices to the god! Because it’s the same god! Ahaha!”
Recalling the memory of almost being sacrificed, Ambh laughed brightly.
“That’s right! I was so short-sighted!”
“Ugh…”
Facing Ambh’s bright laughter like the sun, Olivia’s face became blurry.
Isn’t it too bright to talk cheerfully about the memory of almost dying?
He thought she wasn’t an ordinary child.
“Ambh.”
“Yes?”
“Are you okay?”
“Of course!”
“No, I mean, any lingering trauma from that time when you had nightmares or something…”
“None at all!”
Why wouldn’t there be? Although she didn’t ask why, it was fortunate that there wasn’t.
“Are you worried?”
Looking at Ambh’s sparkling eyes, it seemed strange to ask, so Olivia decided it would be better to swallow that question.
Rising from her seat, Ambh, who had been looking at Olivia with a brilliant smile, stood up abruptly.
“I’ll work harder! May I take my leave now?!”
“Working hard is good, but you always need to be careful. I told Isaac as well, but since you saw the magician this time, if you happen to encounter him again, run away immediately.”
“Yes! I’ll keep that in mind.”
Ambh, who responded confidently, blinked her eyes, then added with a surprised expression.
“That magician is with the Crown Prince, no, now he’s always with the king of the Nord Kingdom, so I don’t know if you can avoid him.”
“Don’t go to the Nord Kingdom now.”
“Ah…”
However, to work hard, Olivia needed to go to the Nord Kingdom to gather information that only the successor of ‘Taren’ could obtain.
Olivia didn’t give a stern warning to Ambh, who was hesitating, but brought up a completely different topic.
“For now, can you look into the missing servant?”
When someone tells you not to do something, don’t you want to do it more? At times like this, it was better to turn one’s interest elsewhere.
Whether Olivia’s thoughts aligned with Ambh’s, Ambh, holding her fists tightly, shouted decisively.
“Yes! I’ll do my best! I’ll take my leave now. See you next time, Knight!”
Unlike Isaac, Ambh, who left a more lively greeting to Cryer than this, left, leaving only the two of them.
Olivia, who looked at the closed door, parted her lips.
“Is it worth investigating the temple?”
She had told Ambh not to worry about it, and indeed, she could anticipate what the magician would do inside.
“No. The magician has mentioned that part before.”
“Now that only the magician’s daughter is left, will it be the same as before?”
“There’s nothing to do with the temple except the advent.”
At the sudden mention of ‘advent,’ Olivia sighed deeply from her innermost being, shaking her head with a tremor.
“I must finish the work before the great advent.”
“Definitely. To make the ancient god descend.”
Slowly emerging from the shadows, Cryer, looking at Olivia’s profile, spoke.
“A continent-wide war must happen.”
Isaac, who, without a moment to catch his breath after returning from the Nord Kingdom, embarked on new tasks, soon infiltrated where the servants of the princess’s palace were gathered.
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…?
