The capital mansion of Angelos.
The aide to the Duke of Angelos entered the office. The Duke, who had taken off the glasses he was wearing and set them on the desk, asked the aide.
“So, have you found out?”
“Yes, Your Grace. It is definite information I heard from the spy planted in Ferdia.”
Who was the key figure that led this military supply incident to Ferdia’s victory?
“Who is it then?”
The Duke’s question made the aide hesitate before answering.
“Duke Ferdia’s youngest daughter, Elodie Ferdia.”
“What?”
The Duke of Angelos scowled.
‘Elodie Ferdia?’
A name that felt unfamiliar on his lips, perhaps because he had rarely spoken it out loud. But he soon recalled who she was.
Indeed, Sylvester Ferdia had a youngest daughter. Rumor had it she was an illegitimate child.
Famed for her beautiful and angelic appearance, but strangely infamous for her cruel personality and lack of friends around her.
Thus, the Duke of Angelos had no interest in Ferdia’s youngest daughter.
‘He must have seen her as a mere tool for collusion with the Crown Prince.’
If she was just a burden to the family and a foultempered young lady, she was of no worth worrying about.
Besides, how incompetent she must be, coming from one of the four major families but lacking any power.
Power is, after all, a divine blessing.
However, revealing herself in this unexpected way was problematic.
He was a principled man who could not endure exceptions.
“Is this Ferdia’s doing?”
Even halfblood is still blood.
Then a stunning thought crossed his mind.
If Ferdia, who could not even use power, was killed, wouldn’t it be easy to eliminate?
The reason for the alliance between the Crown Prince and Ferdia was their engagement.
But if Elodie died, the public justification would disappear.
It wouldn’t necessarily break their alliance, but even a small crack would be enough.
Initially, the Duke of Angelos had not valued the existence of Elodie highly.
The Duke of Angelos put his glasses back on with a smile.
“I’ll have to crush it at the root.”
So it could never sprout again.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Once every three years, the night of the lunar eclipse, when the moon was swallowed by darkness, came to the world.
The night of the eclipse was a time when the power of the underworld goddess Irkalla grew stronger.
The sun had fully set, and in the world without even faint moonlight, the protection of the goddess Ishtar did not reach, and that day the four great families and royal family members could not easily control their powers.
Especially for those who had recently awakened their powers, were young, or had powers too strong to control, the difficulty of control was even higher.
Of course, this did not apply to everyone with powers.
Depending on the attributes of the family, there was a considerable difference in the ability to control.
I, who possessed the ability to purify poison, had nothing to do with the rampage of the night of the eclipse.
What would a rampage do? Either purify too much or not at all. It’s useless if it’s not toxic.
So I could pass the night of the eclipse without any trouble so far.
But the ‘mutant’ attribute of the Crundel family and the ‘destruction’ attribute of Ferdia were different stories.
“Three years ago, Carlott’s spectacle was quite a scene.”
I faintly recalled the time Carlott, with his power to collapse the ground, had destroyed Ferdia’s mansion.
Not an exaggeration.
A real explosion. He destroyed the main mansion!
It was his power, after all, to cause a land collapse.
I still remember the screams of the servants pleading him to calm down, loud enough to reach the guest house.
But since it had nothing to do with the guest house, I just watched with detached interest.
In comparison, Yanshi controlled his ability well.
He never accidentally obliterated anything… or so it was reported.
‘Externally speaking.’
This part showed how thoroughly Yanshi Ferdia managed his image.
Even Yanshi’s true nature was something his parents, Lord and Lady Ferdia, could only faintly suspect but never truly knew.
Just on the surface, he seemed kind, but he was not always so.
If I had not known the merits of knowing the incident 6 years ago and the original content, I would have been easily deceived.
But I knew the truth.
Duke Ferdia couldn’t control his power perfectly.
Since he activated his power and fell into a coma at the age of 5, he had a deep trauma. He always wore gloves and didn’t like physical contact, keeping a distance.
Because of this, he couldn’t swallow food when his power wasn’t under control, and even if he ate, he immediately threw it up, suffering from anorexia.
Sometimes he felt extreme physical and mental pain just before losing control.
And today.
Tonight was the night of the eclipse.
As the sun set, the sky was painted with a mysterious orange and pinkish sunset.
Night was rapidly approaching.
“There won’t be any problems.”
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…?
