He held my cheek lightly and whispered.
“Right. It must be that way…….”
I know.
I dropped my head and admitted it willingly.
He must have found my reaction to Prince Tesla very strange.
Moreover, because I came into the lounge and poured out tears like this, it would have looked even more bizarre.
I was about to bring up the subject of Bonice, but he opened his mouth first with a serious gaze.
“It’s okay to be strange. It’s okay to be ugly. It’s okay even if things are this way.”
“…Your Majesty.”
“But, you can’t cry.”
It was a firm yet comforting tone.
His voice felt like it gently grasped and shook my heart.
“Do you understand?”
My nose snuffled again.
We locked eyes for a few seconds, then tears welled up again.
“Huh? Defying the emperor’s order right after it ends. How bold.”
As tears streamed down my eyes, he immediately averted his gaze.
“I’m sorry. Hic, I really tried to stop crying, but hehehe…”
“Sigh, Zelda. I must be a weirdo.”
Lionel’s unexpected confession made me unintentionally shout.
“No, Your Majesty, you’re a good person!”
“…Huh? What did you say?”
Realizing what I said too late, I couldn’t recover.
Judging by his crumpled expression, it didn’t seem like I appeared to be a good person.
“Oh, no. Your Majesty is a wonderful person.”
“No, I’m definitely a lunatic.”
After declaring himself as a weirdo, he expanded his territory to being a lunatic.
“What’s…?”
“Crying is too sexy.”
“What?”
“Because it’s sexy, distracting thoughts keep popping up in situations like this. Am I really crazy? Don’t you think?”
As he spoke, the tears that were flowing from my eyes gradually decreased.
“Zelda, how will you take responsibility?”
He asked sternly, exhaling deeply.
“…Your Majesty, upon reflection, what you said just now seems correct.”
“You mean the part about me being sexy?”
“No, not that… Your Majesty is a good person.”
“No, I’m undoubtedly a crazy person.”
“Heh.”
“I’m firmly crazy about the empress. Now my body is solidifying again… Ah, forget it. Let’s stop talking.”
Instead of continuing to speak, he hugged me tightly.
His two arms were filled with strength.
Even in this tightly pressed state, it was impossible not to know his condition.
Despite feeling suffocated and difficulty breathing in this situation, laughter burst out.
Seeing how I cried loudly just a while ago and was now laughing like this, it was undeniable that I was also crazy about him.
“Don’t worry about my condition.”
Lionel whispered with a groan.
“…Yes, I’m trying to do that.”
“It’s a bit awkward to have such a constantly revealing presence, right?”
“…Yes, it’s always awkward because of the overwhelming presence.”
“Sorry. But it can’t be helped. It’s a place even crazier than the emperor’s orders.”
Lionel’s firm two arms gradually tightened around my whole body.
For a while, we silently felt each other’s presence. Then, I raised my head first and looked at him.
Upon that, Lionel, with a serious expression, calmly asked me, “Now, could you tell me why you were so angry when you heard that Princess Bonis has become the prince consort of Prince Tesler’s government?”
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…?
