They only confirmed the location with the magic tool, so they will have to do further investigations, but there must be a gold mine there.
A stronger response appeared than the response that came from the eastern mountains, where Raul was in charge.
Additional personnel will be dispatched from the Ronica Kingdom soon.
‘If the discovery of the gold mine is spread as due to Prince Khaled’s excellent judgement…’
There will be no room for Raul to intervene. After all, Raul was already wasting his efforts in the east.
He would never have guessed that there was a gold mine at the southern end of the mountain range. That’s why it wasn’t discovered for several years.
“I’m relieved.”
Velia said so and quietly took a sip of the tea placed in front of her.
Finally, Khaled had known that her words were all true. Now, it was his turn.
But she didn’t know what to say.
It was awkward to meet him right after such an event happened not a few days ago, but just yesterday. It was not easy to bring up the plan with a casual smile.
Velia hesitated for a moment, but soon pulled herself together.
“I kept my promise. So now, please fulfill the first condition I want. When will the proposal letter arrive?”
Only then would the signing on our contract be completed.
Velia demanded that with a clear voice.
Khaled, who was watching Velia in a lopsided posture with his long legs crossed and his arms folded, lifted one corner of his mouth.
“It should be on its way by now. So now it’s time for you to tell your true purpose. That condition is practically established.”
That’s not it.
At his conscienceless attitude, Velia was annoyed for no reason.
Strictly speaking, he has not yet fulfilled the promised condition, has he?
Raul has not yet withdrawn the proposal letter he had sent to the King of Ronica.
Forgetting her awkwardness of facing Khaled until a moment ago, Velia retorted with a crooked smile.
“I said it was after Prince Raul’s proposal was withdrawn.”
“The proposal letter will arrive soon anyway. So naturally, your desired condition will be fulfilled.”
Khaled replied nonchalantly, locking his gaze on Velia, and then smiled brightly.
She looked at him quizzically, wondering why he was doing that, and Khaled leaned his upper body closer to her with his hand on the desk. Then he delivered one word at a time to her as if stuffing each word into her.
“So spill it out honestly. What’s your real goal?”
Velia’s pupils quivered slightly.
To continue with him, she had to share her real purpose. He was an accomplice, not her subordinate. But her mouth wouldn’t open easily. How could she explain it?
“Velia.”
Khaled called Velia’s name once again.
“Use me. Don’t be afraid and say what you truly want.”
Velia fell silent for a moment.
After a brief lapse of time, she opened her mouth heavily.
“…Please become the emperor.”
“What?”
Caught off guard by the unexpected remark, Prince Khaled asked back.
“You said you’d recover everything you’ve lost.”
Become the emperor.
Velia was the second person to tell Khaled that.
His mother, the empress, and Velia.
‘I didn’t think I’d hear that again.’
Khaled let out a laugh mixed with selfmockery.
‘More than that…’
Why does she only talk about giving something to Khaled and not discuss her own purpose?
“What does your purpose have to do with me becoming the emperor?”
At his question, Velia clenched her fists and swallowed her anger.
“…My purpose is to bring down Raul. I want to see him utterly destroyed. For that, I thought I needed to take away the most valuable thing he could have.”
That was exactly to take the emperor’s throne that Raul had, through Khaled.
She didn’t want Raul to have anything in his hands.
Velia vividly remembered the moment she was dying every second.
The cruel face that forced her to drink poisoned tea.
The face of the emperor who had not a shred of sympathy in his gaze towards her dying self.
She wanted to trample him, bring him down, and brutally drop him into hell.
“If I can do that, I can do anything.”
Yes…
She had something she absolutely had to do.
It wasn’t the time to be weak, shaken by her own emotions. She had to use anything that could be used. Even if it was him, who said he was okay with her using him to her heart’s content.
Velia’s wavering gaze stopped.
“You don’t love me sincerely. You just have a desire to own what was Raul’s. But even that doesn’t matter to me anymore.”
When she found out that Raul had been secretly preparing for monster extermination while intercepting her reports.
She was sure he hadn’t changed at all from the past.
That’s why she also realized that she couldn’t just be content with peace.
He was the one who had turned her life into hell and was going to bring down Ronika.
“Did you say you want me?”
If only she could bind him to her just with that.
If only she could bring down Raul just with that.
Public opinion would mean nothing.
Velia slowly approached Khaled and arrived in front of him.
Then she slowly reached out and gently stroked Khaled’s cheek. When he couldn’t take his eyes off her actions, Velia closed her eyes and smiled gently.
“Bring Raul under my feet. Then I will even give you all my heart.”
Velia gently kissed him.
At the soft touch from her lips, Khaled laughed as if he couldn’t resist. But soon the short laughter disappeared and a low, dangerous voice flowed out from him.
“…Your wish. I will definitely fulfill it.”
“Good. Then let’s make up for that mistake, Khaled.”
Velia provoked him, referring to the conversation they had on the day of the welcome party.
Khaled roughly ripped off the button of his shirt as if he was suffocating.
Then, with an urgent expression far from leisure, he pulled Velia into his arms.
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…?
