If she could leverage his power, there might be a way to refuse Raul’s proposal.
Velia quickly changed into inconspicuous clothing and called for her knight escort, Ben.
“Sir Ben.”
“Yes, princess.”
“We need to get ready to go out.”
It was a sudden outing, but Ben just quietly followed her.
To Ben, Velia recently seemed like a different person overnight.
She was always quietly reading books in the library or the garden, but these days she was doing things he couldn’t understand.
But if it was the Princess Velia he had known so far, she would surely handle things intelligently.
Thinking this far, Ben cast away his worries and sharpened his senses to protect her, in keeping with a knight’s duty.
The carriage Velia boarded headed out of the castle and towards the city.
And Velia, after getting off in the square in the center of the village, reversed her robe. It was stuffy, but she couldn’t help it as someone could recognize her as the princess.
“We’ll go to the restaurant first, then we’ll drop by a café.”
“Yes.”
“Then we’re going to a bookstore.”
If not these three places, it would be a pub.
She had to check quickly, confirm, and move.
“Let’s go.”
Velia briskly walked into the restaurant, the nearest of today’s targeted locations.
Ding, with the ringing bell, the server came rushing. Velia smiled and asked.
“I’ve come to the third floor looking for a diamond.”
“Ah, sorry…… but we’re a restaurant. The jewelry shop is right across, customer.”
“Oh, my. I’m sorry. I got the shop mixed up.”
Velia covered her mouth with her hand as if surprised.
She then left the shop with a shy smile along with Ben.
It wasn’t the restaurant.
While she knew that wandering aimlessly like this was not the best method, it was the fastest and most certain one.
So she had no choice but to visit every shop that Derek had mentioned in the past.
After confirming that the café was not it either, she headed towards the bookstore. Velia sighed as she confirmed that the bookstore wasn’t the hideout of the Rune Information Guild either and was about to step outside after bidding farewell to the owner.
Thud.
Someone entering the bookstore collided hard with her, causing Velia’s robe to be stripped off.
Her brilliant silver hair, thin as if it were made of silver strands, flowed down.
Velia hastily reversed her robe, but the man had already expressed his surprise in a heavy, low voice after seemingly recognizing her unique hair.
“Oh……?”
Velia quickly bowed her head.
And then Ben stepped forward to block the man in front of Velia.
The man was clearly dressed like a noble at a glance.
Though she had never seen such a man among the nobles of the Ronika kingdom, he could be a noble from the empire who had come to meet Prince Raul, so she first politely apologized to him.
“I’m sorry. It seems our lady made a mistake.”
“……Lady?”
Despite Ben’s polite demeanor, the man grinned as if amused and did not step aside from the doorway.
“We have finished our business and intend to leave. Will you step aside?”
“Don’t feel like it.”
The man ran a hand through his dark hair and grinned wryly.
His radiant blue eyes sparkled as if intrigued.
His gaze remained fixed on Velia.
“Judging by the way you’re addressed as a ‘young lady’, you seem to be from a noble family, right?”
From his laughterfilled voice, Velia had a hunch.
He must have figured out her identity.
After signaling Ben to stop, Velia stepped forward and opened her mouth.
“First, it would be better to talk outside, as you are disturbing the passersby.”
With those words, the man gracefully stepped away from the door.
Stepping outside and facing the man, his appearance came into view. His tall stature and muscular build were noticeable, but his dark hair and cold gaze seemed to darken his aura.
A very chilly atmosphere.
His sharp demeanor felt as if it could cut those near him, indicating that he was not an ordinary person.
He was not as refined as a knight, nor did he give off the impression of a commoner.
His unbuttoned shirt made him appear casual, but the subtle chill he emitted made it hard to approach him.
“Well, we’ve moved outside as you suggested, should we have a proper conversation now?”
“If you’re looking to start an argument, let’s stop there.”
Velia sighed and said.
“An argument… Those words hurt a bit. You’re the one who should have something to say to me.”
The man murmured while stroking his chin.
At his unexpected words, a puzzled Velia looked up at him.
Just then.
“What brings you here?”
Someone strode over, grabbed Velia’s wrist, and pulled her towards him.
Then, as if it were a matter of course, he stepped in between her and Khaled.
“…Prince Raul.”
Velia looked at Raul, who was holding onto her, and furrowed her brows.
How did he get here?
It couldn’t be a coincidence.
‘…Is he following me?’
It was clear that he had heard about her escaping from the palace and had someone tail her.
He must have been pretending it was a chance encounter.
“Please let go of my arm.”
“Did he threaten you?”
“No. So please let go.”
It was creepy as if he was someone important, just by seeing his behavior, the hairs on her arms stood up.
More than that, he seems to know the man in front of him. Who could it be?
As Velia held that question in her heart.
The man who had been watching them quietly burst out laughing.
“Hahaha. So it was as I thought.”
“Khaled. I asked why you were here.”
Khaled?!
Startled, Velia opened her eyes wide and stared at him.
Black hair, blue eyes. And that arrogant, leisurely demeanor.
He matched the description of the Second Prince, whom she had only heard about in rumors.
“I’m just a wanderer who goes from place to place?”
He had just happened to come to Ronica.
Khaled casually replied to Raul’s sharp question.
“I heard you were here, but I didn’t expect to run into you on the street.”
Khaled, who shrugged his shoulders, approached Raul and took Velia’s hand that Raul had held.
“What are you doing?!”
“Ah, you arbitrarily stopped someone I needed to see.”
Khaled, who was answering vaguely as if it was troublesome, whispered in Velia’s ear.
“I was going to look for you, but it seems I’m lucky.”
At that, she looked at Khaled in surprise, and he leisurely curled the corners of his mouth and asked.
“Isn’t that right, Princess Velia?”
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…?
