The emblem that the finder had sketched when I commissioned him, the same emblem was engraved on the back of her neck, and she had blond hair. The probability that she was Veronia was very high.
Her irises were not blue, but irises could be easily changed with magic.
The finders had found a blonde woman with blue eyes in a certain slave market.
The abolition of slavery had occurred more than 30 years ago, but there were still slaves being traded in the black market. Sicar Blake was leading his soldiers to arrest all those involved in the slave market as soon as he found Veronia.
It was a journey that took over an hour. The long distance made Dyrion yawn boringly, and he suddenly noticed Sicar, who was fiddling with the lapels of his clothes. It was a behavior he had never seen before.
“Your Grace, why are you doing that?”
“What are you talking about.”
“I mean your lapel.”
Sicar, who had inadvertently been fiddling with his lapel, put his hand down.
“Has anyone ever grabbed your lapel?”
“Yes, they have.”
At that moment, Sicar’s gaze sharpened and sparkled persistently.
“When?”
“Um… usually when they’re begging for their lives.”
Sicar’s previous sparkling gaze had disappeared and he wore a drained expression.
“I asked if anyone has ever grabbed you when you were going somewhere.”
“Do you mean someone stopping me from leaving? Who are you talking about? Isn’t that obstructing my path?”
“It’s frustrating. For example, they don’t want you to leave and they’re holding on to you. That kind of thing.”
“Did the Duchess perhaps grab you, Your Grace?”
“She grabbed my lapel when I was about to get on the carriage. As you know, this is a first for me.”
“Indeed, Your Grace. How dare someone grab your lapel. Such a thing has never happened before.”
“No one ever dared to touch even a hair of mine because they were afraid. Even the King never visited my estate because I was of the Sitar tribe.”
“You’ve had a rare experience, Your Grace. Perhaps the Duchess didn’t want to part with you.”
Sicar still found the experience strange and peculiar. It was something he had never experienced before.
“It’s a peculiar experience.”
“Indeed. I should get married too. To someone who loves me like the Duchess.”
“Finding someone who loves you even though they know everything about you is not easy. Yura loved me even though she knew I was a scary person, but such people are not common.”
“Usually, people are too scared to even make eye contact with you, Your Grace. To like such a person, the Duchess is indeed a special woman.”
“Yura is really just like a foolish puppy.”
Sicar thought Yura resembled Happy a lot. Happy was a puppy his grandmother had picked up on the street by chance.
Back then, Sicar had lost both his parents and was extremely sensitive. But that little puppy didn’t know Sicar was scary and wagged its tail, following him around, and always fell asleep next to him when he was asleep.
At first, he hated the puppy so much that he chased it away, but seeing it always sleeping by his side when he woke up, Sicar felt the puppy was a fool who didn’t know to be afraid.
The time he felt this the most from Yura was when she burrowed into his arms because she was cold in the carriage.
She’s not even a puppy, but a person who fearlessly clings to him and now even grabs his lapel.
The more he saw of Yura, the more interesting Sicar found her.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]They said the slave market was held in an old building in the back alleys of the old town of the capital.
Next to an ordinary looking general store, there was a single old door. If you stood there for a while, you could see many nobles entering through that door.
The soldiers were told to wait outside, and Sicar entered the building with Dyrion. In front of the old door, a skinny man wearing a cowboy hat was cutting rope with a knife.
From the outside, it looked like he was just holding a knife to cut rope, but if the other party didn’t correctly answer the password or showed signs of surveillance, the knife cutting the rope could turn into a weapon at any moment.
The man continued to cut the rope without lifting his head and asked dryly.
“How much do you need.”
Dyrion could not remember the password, so Sicar had to recite it from a note he had received directly from the finder.
“Today, I need 20 meters in 3 rolls, and the day after tomorrow, I need 30 meters in 2 rolls.”
“We don’t have 30 meters.”
“Then, I’ll take 15 meters in 5 rolls.”
The ropecutting gatekeeper finally made way, pushing the door open as if to let them in.
Upon entering, a narrow, long staircase dotted with lamps appeared on the wall.
As I descended the stairs, another door appeared, and when I opened that door, I saw a fat man sitting alone on a chair, leaving the long corridor behind him.
The man slowly got up from his seat when he saw Sicar and Durion.
“May I see your tickets?”
When Durion took out the ticket, Sicar took it and handed it to the man.
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…?
