So Gabriel’s last resort was to send Seliya to the emperor.
If Seliya entered the palace, it would be a good excuse for her to enter as well. Moreover, she could also see Seliya’s despairing and melancholic state, so it was killing two birds with one stone.
“I never knew you had the courage to kill the emperor.”
Gabriel whispered softly.
Seliya had assassinated the emperor, but she would never die. Numerous men who admired her would never let her die.
(This is a time separator.)
In the deepest part of the imperial palace’s underground dungeon, in the chilling cell, Seliya was recalling the conversation she had with Dietrich.
“[Dash] How can you… use this ability?”
Dietrich was completely immune to her abilities. Moreover, he seemed to know very well about the existence of these abilities.
Seliya doubted her ears. Because everyone who knew about this ability had died ten years ago.
She concealed her confusion, feigning ignorance.
“[Dash] This ability? I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“[Dash] …….”
Dietrich stared grimly at the bruise around Seliya’s neck. With his piercing gaze, Seliya thought this man might try to strangle her again.
He continued to stare at Seliya’s neck for a long time. Annoyed, Seliya slowly covered her neck with one hand.
Then Dietrich grabbed Seliya’s hand and lowered his head to her neck.
Seliya had thought Dietrich was not only immune to the abilities but also just another common man in front of her eyes.
However, Dietrich’s subsequent behavior went far beyond her expectations, as he buried his face in her neck like a dog sniffing at it.
Seliya was momentarily at a loss for words at the sensation of him taking deep breaths and rubbing her skin.
But soon, she pushed Dietrich away in alarm. The solid body that seemed unmovable was surprisingly easily pushed back as her hand touched it.
Dietrich looked down at Seliya’s tiny head and spat out.
“[Dash] It’s not there.”
“[Dash] What?”
What kind of man was this? Seliya stared at Dietrich with an unpleasant face, while Dietrich’s face was utterly bland. It was hard to believe that he had just done something like that.
“[Dash] Be still, like you’re dead.”
With that last word, Dietrich got up. Dietrich walked neither slowly nor quickly out of the barred cell.
Clink!
The eyes of Dietrich, who had locked the dungeon door, and Seliya, met through the iron bars.
“[Dash] What do you intend to do with me?”
Seliya’s question was met with silence from Dietrich. He stared at Seliya for a moment, then turned his back on her.
Left alone, Seliya clenched and unclenched her hand.
It was the first time in her life that a man had been immune to her ability.
Leaning against the wall, Seliya glared at the spot where Dietrich had disappeared, her face filled with anger.
Seliya’s true identity was the last princess of the Shan kingdom, which had been obliterated by Abellon ten years prior, and had disappeared from the map. The Shan royal family was born with abilities, each person possessing a different ability.
Their abilities ranged from impractical ones, like making plants grow well through singing, to being able to communicate with animals. The abilities were varied.
Seliya was the first in the history of the Shan dynasty to be born with the ability to control a person’s mind.
Her ability was to emit the scent of hyacinth, paralyzing all the senses of the person who smelled it. The person who smelled the fragrance could not hear what others said, nor feel pain or discomfort; they would become a fool.
Once the scent of hyacinth was withdrawn, the person wouldn’t even remember what had just happened.
But this powerful, even perfect ability had a fatal flaw: it only worked on males, and the more it was used, the more it consumed her lifespan.
The greatest tragedy was that Seliya was extremely beautiful.
Although the world is relatively easier for a beautiful person to live in, well.
Seliya wondered what kind of fool had said that.
At that moment, Seliya’s laughter was interrupted by a cough mixed with blood.
Seliya wiped her bloodstained lips with the back of her hand and laughed selfmockingly.
‘My lifespan is about a year left.’
It’s not unreasonable that her body reached its limit since she overused her ability. People always tried to exploit her, and she unreservedly used her ability to protect herself.
Countless men had confessed their love to her, but in Seliya’s eyes, they seemed like blind fools.
Fooled by a flashy exterior, they failed to notice how rotten they were inside.
Depending on others is a foolish act. That’s why she killed the emperor with her own hands.
If she had been afraid of impending death, she wouldn’t have overused her ability.
‘Those who know about my ability must all be dead except me…’
How did that man Dietrich know about the existence of the ability?
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…?
