Eh? Tease him? I don’t think that’s necessary…
[Let’s gently tease Prince ლ(´ڡ`ლ)(Smirking) Curious about what I talked about with Mother? Well, brother, you’ve never had a private audience with her…
(Beaming with a playful glint in your eyes) Curious about what I talked about with Mother? Well, brother, you’ve never had a private audience with her…
(Tsk-tsking) Curious about what I talked about with Mother? Well, brother, you’ve never had a private audience with her…]
I didn’t think it was necessary to tease him, but three options appeared regardless.
‘Aren’t they all the same?’
I chose the second option, which seemed the most respectful, surprised that even the proud Orent had never had a private audience with Mother.
“Curious about what I talked about with Mother? Well, brother, you’ve never had a private audience with her…”
“What?”
Orent, losing his composure, raised his hand as if to strike me.
‘Oh.’
I was amazed at his foolishness. Even knowing that I had just awakened as a Swordmaster, he still resorted to physical aggression.
As I contemplated how to counterattack, a voice called out.
“Luibel!”
It was Elizabeth’s voice from behind.
“Damn.”
Orent turned away and left.
“Luibel, are you alright? Orent wasn’t about to hit you, was he?”
Elizabeth rushed over, her voice feigning concern.
“He may be our family, but his character is really awful. It’s better to stay away from him.”
“I agree.”
I nodded in agreement with Elizabeth’s advice.
“By the way, Elizabeth, what happened to all the ladies who were gathered?”
“Thanks to the knights, everyone returned home safely, unharmed.”
“Ah…! That’s such a relief.”
I was genuinely concerned, so I felt relieved hearing her news.
“But Luibel! Did you really become a Swordmaster?”
“Yes, it just… happened.”
“Unbelievable!”
Elizabeth hugged me tightly and exclaimed,
“You’re so cool! I’m so proud of you, LuLu!”
I was a bit taken aback by her enthusiastic celebration but smiled and hugged her back.
Due to my misconception of Hezen’s affection for me, I had put up a wall against Elizabeth’s friendly approach. But at this moment, I felt her sincerity in congratulating me.
Because just before, the words floating above her head,
Princess of the Ajester Empire
Affection: 318
told me so. Elizabeth doesn’t hate me. In fact, she quite likes me.
“Thank you, sister. But, by any chance, have you seen Prince Anselot?”
“Prince Anselot? Why him… Oh.”
Elizabeth tilted her head in confusion, then suddenly wore a sly expression.
“Right, you’d be happier receiving congratulations from Prince Anselot than from me.”
“That’s not it!”
It seemed she misunderstood my relationship with Anselot from the conversations I had with the ladies by the lake.
Despite my strong denial, Elizabeth’s mischievous look didn’t change.
“If you’re looking for Prince Anselot, he should be at the Sapphire Palace by now. Mother advised everyone to stay in their assigned residences after today’s events.”
Outside, it had already grown dark.
The Sapphire Palace, located in the eastern part of the Imperial Palace, was where dignitaries visiting the empire stayed.
As Elizabeth said, Anselot was there, leaning casually against a pillar at the entrance of the corridor, as if waiting for me.
Earlier, I was too preoccupied with defeating my immediate foes, but now I needed answers.
I just wanted to escape Hezen, so why did I end up becoming a player?
“Anselot!”
At my call, he turned his head, his eyes widening momentarily, then smiled softly, his eyes curving into crescents.
“It’s the first time. You’ve called my name.”
Above his head, there was nothing.
No name, no status, no affiliation, no affection, nothing at all.
“I can’t see anything…”
As I muttered blankly, he smiled faintly at me.
It was strange.
Initially, the absence of anything above his head made me fear and be wary of him.
But now, why…
‘Why does it feel reassuring?’
The fact that I couldn’t see his affection level, why did that bring me comfort?
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…?
