Emperor Adrian slightly bowed, and I also gave a light bow before turning away.
[Dache] ‘Carrying a wyvern violates the peace agreement.’The Silverfish warned as if giving a caution.
[Dache] ‘Does Emperor Rinel also know? The fact that Her Majesty the Empress knows the language of wyverns.’How could he possibly know a fact I’m not aware of?
While walking, I casually flicked my middle finger, almost as if it were a natural gesture. If Emperor Adrian is still looking at me, he should see this too.
[Dache] ‘Hahaha! If you keep showing such a cute appearance, I might just fall for you.’
You might end up dying in my hands if you continue like this, you perverted bastard!
I extended the other middle finger as well.
Since I can’t curse verbally, I have to use my fingers instead.
Jesper, the Crown Prince’s Consort, encountered Norton, the Crown Prince, as she strolled through the hall of the Star Palace.
“Where have you been?”
Norton, who was about to go up to his room after a simple greeting, stopped in his tracks.
“Yes, I had some business to attend to.”
“Is that so? Oh, but weren’t you out last night too?”
At Jesper’s words, Norton stared at her.
How did she know? He asked with his eyes, and she chuckled lightly in response to the questioning gaze.
“I couldn’t sleep, so I went out to the terrace and saw you hurriedly leaving the Star Palace.”
“Last night… something inconvenient happened.”
Norton hesitated as he didn’t have a convincing excuse readily available.
“Could that ‘inconvenient thing’ be related to…?”
When Jesper Consort hesitated for a moment, Norton, frowning, cautiously continued.
“Due to Duke Martyns of the Shatoni Kingdom?”
“?”
“According to the servants, they heard that Duke calling out your name earnestly in the corridor last night. You went into the room with the Duke.”
Jesper Consort seemed to be having some strange misunderstanding.
However, since he couldn’t say it was to fetch Rams outside the palace, he just nodded for now.
This time, Empress Jesper looked surprised.
“Well, then I’ll go up now.”
As Norton attempted to head back to the stairs, she urgently spoke.
“I’ve decided to enjoy some refreshments with Princess Leselia of the Shatoni Kingdom.”
“Oh?!”
“I saw you two having a conversation at the banquet. You seemed to get along quite well. It would be great if you could join her. What do you think?”
“I’m fine.”
“By any chance, is it because of Duke Martyns?”
“… I can’t say it isn’t.”
“Ah!”
In order to avoid Leselia, Norton inadvertently steered into a path of misunderstanding.
“People’s tastes and feelings can change at any time, right? So…”
“Change at any time? Like my sister?”
Interrupting Jesper Consort’s words, the prince asked.
It was a sharp remark.
“Even Calvin, my brother, can’t understand, but I can’t understand my sister even more. I don’t want to understand. Don’t comment on my taste or feelings in this way. It’s quite unpleasant.”
“It’s fortunate, really.”
Jesper Consort muttered with a subtle expression.
“What did you say?”
“I said it’s fortunate, and thank you. For saying that.”
She left incomprehensible words behind and walked along the opposite corridor.
“What in the world…”
Prince Norton frowned as he watched the back of Jesper, the Crown Prince’s Consort.
In the Star Palace reception room, separated by a table, Prince Calvain and his consort from the Pasha Empire sat facing the siblings from the Shatoni Kingdom.
Prince Tesla, who happened to oversleep today and was irresistibly drawn to Princess Leselia’s charm, was unaware that he had consumed wine laced with a sleeping potion last night. He simply thought his condition wasn’t good due to overdrinking.
“Damn, why did I come here?”
Whether it was due to Norton’s past transgressions or not, it was uncomfortable to enjoy a meal with Calvain, his counterpart.
However, pretending and flattery were Tesla’s specialties, so he exchanged cheerful conversation with Calvain, hiding his true feelings behind a smiling face.
On the other hand, Princess Leselia was in a good mood throughout, thanks to Jesper Consort’s friendly attitude.
“She has a pretty face, but she’s nowhere near as crazy as I am.”
Princess Leselia inwardly gloated while glancing at Jesper Consort, who raised her tea cup.
“What’s on my face?”
Jesper, the Crown Princess, noticed the princess’s gaze and asked her.
“Oh, no. Consort, you are so elegant that I unknowingly stared at you. Forgive my rudeness.”
Princess Leselia replied with a gentle smile, avoiding direct eye contact.
“Oh, to receive such praise from a beauty like you. Isn’t it an honor?”
Empress Jesper said, gently holding Prince Calvain’s arm.
In response, Prince Calvain also smiled, looking at Princess Leselia.
“Yesterday at the banquet, I saw you dancing with my brother.”
“Oh, yes… you saw.”
Princess Leselia awkwardly smiled in response.
“Princess, I’ll ask you straightforwardly. How do you feel about my brother, or rather, Prince Norton?”
“!”
“!”
At Calvain’s words, the two siblings exchanged glances.
“Here… there was a magic potion that could remove the burn scars?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Rinelle touched an empty potion bottle she had brought from Zelda’s bedroom, lost in thought.
“The magician Big said that since it’s so rare to order that magic potion, Empress Your Majesty remembers the day you visited because of it.”
“He remembers Zelda…”
“More precisely, he remembered Your Majesty’s condition… he remembered it.”
Raphael hesitated for a moment before responding in a low voice.
“What condition?”
A stern aura emanated from Emperor Rinelle’s expression.
‘Is it okay to talk about this?’
Raphael, having heard about the Empress’s condition from Magician Big, was extremely cautious.
Although his mouth didn’t open easily, if he didn’t speak right away, the Emperor seemed ready to forcibly open his mouth.
“So, in this place…”
Raphael ran his finger along his right cheek, making his words unclear.
The area he was probably indicating seemed to be where Zelda’s burn scar used to be.
Rinelle’s forehead furrowed deeply.
“What’s there? Speak plainly.”
“There is a severe burn scar, Your Majesty.”
In response to Rinelle’s piercing gaze, Raphael quickly replied.
But something about Raphael’s words sounded a bit strange.
“There is one?”
He asked again, touching his forehead with his hand.
“So, are you saying that the burn scar didn’t disappear after taking the magic potion?”
“Yes… Your Majesty.”
Raphael’s response made his pupils shake.
“Then the magic potion the Empress is currently taking…”
“It’s temporary. And according to Big, it’s about time for the Empress to order a new batch of magic potion.”
This time, Rinelle got up from his desk chair without saying anything and walked toward the window.
With a worried look, Raphael followed him.
The Emperor, who was usually full of mischief, was completely unpredictable when he became serious. It was impossible to fathom what he was thinking.
“And the first person who requested the magic potion was Prince Tesla.”
Rinelle’s eyes narrowed at Raphael’s words.
Watching him in silence, Raphael felt uneasy with his prolonged silence.
“I’ve handled the separate instructions I gave.”
“Think about it now… what will you do, Your Majesty?”
After staring out the window for a long time, he continued to keep his gaze outside, gesturing for Raphael to come closer.
“Raphael, there is one more thing you need to take care of.”
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…?
