During this time, Belia repeatedly expressed her opinion to the Emperor that Khalid needed to be found quickly. However, the Emperor brushed aside Belia’s opinion, saying that the lord of that region’s militia is already conducting the search.
Although a separate request for cooperation was made to Lunaris, impatience was inevitable.
“How can you tell that story now?”
Entering the clinic, Rachel, with a chubby tone, asked.
Then Belia smiled bitterly.
“If it weren’t for this situation, I wouldn’t have told it until the end.”
“No matter what…!”
How could she reveal now that the new heir of Marquis Cerron is a supporter of the Second Prince! Even though they discussed it last time!
Rachel felt a slight sense of betrayal, but she knew there must be a clear reason why Belia didn’t speak.
It was too significant a secret to reveal to someone.
He was like a secret agent hidden on the side of the First Prince.
Moreover, he was from the Information Guild!
‘So that’s why I requested the search from the Information Guild…’
Rachel walked behind Belia, breathing a small sigh. There was surely a clear reason why she chose to trust and follow her.
And in this moment…
Perhaps a small hope emerged.
Tap, tap. The small footsteps descending the stairs echoed.
When they reached the end of the stairs.
“Your Highness!”
“It’s been a while, Derek.”
As soon as Derek saw Belia, he stood up from his seat and greeted her.
Meeting after a long time, Derek’s face was much glossier than before. Clearly, he seemed to be treated well as the heir of Marquis Cerron.
“I was looking for a way to contact you.”
On the day he heard the news of Khalid’s disappearance, he urgently contacted him to arrange a meeting.
Now that he was known as the successor of Marquis Cerron, it was impossible for him to come to the palace.
So, to soothe the turmoil today, he volunteered for volunteer work with Rachel, starting with an orphanage and visiting several charity organizations. Finally, they waited in the underground clinic to meet him.
“Is Marquis Caprie okay…?”
“It’s okay. I’ve already explained everything to her.”
Relieved by Belia’s words, Derek nodded once and quickly poured out his words.
“Understood. Our intelligence agents have arrived at the accident site and are conducting a search. We requested search tools from the mage of the Matap you mentioned, so you should be able to receive a situation report within a few days.”
“I see.”
After Derek entered Ceylon Manor, communication between Belia and Derek became a bit more challenging.
If he hadn’t entered the manor, he could have more accurately assessed Kallid’s situation…
‘These thoughts are futile.’
It’s already happened.
Reflecting on the past won’t help.
“This is a landslide caused by a sudden heavy rain. There are no signs of any actions taken by the First Prince’s side.”
Derek also said it wasn’t Raoul’s doing.
Belia was confused.
Then, what were those suspicious actions Raoul took?
There seemed to be something fishy.
But no clues were visible.
“Are you just saying it was bad luck, Derek?”
Belia asked coldly.
Derek slowly shook his head.
“To say that would be oversimplifying things.”
“What do you mean?”
“…It’s my personal feeling. You can dismiss it if you want.”
He paused for a moment and quietly conveyed his speculation.
“The return schedule of the negotiating team is not natural.”
Belia asked with a serious expression.
“What exactly does that mean?”
Derek chose his words carefully. But soon, he spoke.
“There was a sense of urgency in their return schedule. Sending the Count Huter, who had been a captive, ahead might have been understandable, but the subsequent schedule of the negotiating team felt subtly out of sync. I was hesitant to mention it, as it’s a conjecture based on a feeling…”
“But even so, bringing up this story to me implies that there is some credibility to that conjecture.”
“That’s correct. There was a trend of hurriedly entering the Schpel region without giving the knights enough rest. It felt off.”
Belia fell into deep thought for a moment.
“Honestly, I understand that this story is hard to believe. But…”
“Speak, Derek. Whatever comes to mind.”
Derek closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh.
As the leader of the information guild, it was a principled behavior not to speak without accurate evidence. However, there are times when intuition proves right.
Derek, who had been closing his eyes for a long time, slowly opened them and said.
“…It feels like someone knew that a landslide would happen there and deliberately pushed the negotiating team into it.”
…Yes.
This was it.
The strange feeling that Belia had sensed.
As if someone had deliberately set a trap there.
But there was no evidence that Raoul had orchestrated anything.
However, Belia found every aspect of the situation suspicious.
From the negotiating team coincidentally passing through that location to the discomfort felt in Raoul’s actions.
“So, your words mean… someone deliberately lured them to that place?”
“…Yes.”
“How amusing, Derek.”
Derek exhaled lightly at Belia’s words and looked at her face.
Then, Belia spoke with a chilly smile.
“I happened to think the same as you.”
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…?
