Rose regained consciousness amid the faint awareness due to the persistent loud noises she kept hearing.
“That can’t be!”
With the feeling of her body melting onto the floor, Rose struggled to open her eyes through her hazy consciousness.
“What nonsense are you talking about! Take another careful look!”
As Rose’s eyes fluttered open, Barinen approached hurriedly.
“Rose Asila!”
Rose felt nauseous again due to her wavering vision and the loud ringing in her ears.
“Pl-please be quiet…”
“Get up now!”
Barinen continued to urge Rose, disregarding her condition, with a voice full of anger.
Rose was about to shout in irritation but bit her lip hard at the sight of people behind Barinen.
It seemed she had collapsed.
The physician holding the artifact was at a loss for words, and the butler and maid behind him were the same.
Rose forcibly raised her body and tried to shake her dizzy head to clear her mind.
As the dizziness subsided a little, Rose patted her chest a couple of times to ease her uncomfortable bloated feeling and looked at Barinen.
“What on earth is going on that’s causing all this commotion?”
Barinen hesitated for a moment at Rose’s deeply sunken voice.
Usually, if Rose showed such an appearance, Barinen would not speak further, but today was different.
“What on earth have you been doing in this situation!”
“Hah… What’s the matter now?”
“You should know better what’s the matter! Just what have you been up to?”
“Speak clearly. I’m starting to get annoyed.”
Barinen repeatedly hit his chest as if feeling anxious.
Barinen, letting out a deep sigh, said to Rose.
“You’re pregnant!”
“What?”
Surprised by the word that should never have been heard, Rose forgot the fact that he was her father and asked again in shock.
Barinen, realizing that she didn’t know either upon seeing Rose’s dumbfounded expression, felt even more frustrated.
“We’ve already confirmed it with the diagnostic artifact. You’re pregnant.”
“That’s impossible…”
Rose wanted to say not to talk nonsense, but couldn’t finish her words.
From the day she first revealed everything to Peiron, she had consistently been intimate with him.
With the relief of gaining an ally and the rush of situations, there was no room to pay attention to contraception.
Moreover, thinking he would be the person to be with her in the future, she didn’t pay much attention to it.
Rose, biting her lip so hard that blood appeared, shouted at the physician standing behind, not knowing what to do.
“Check again!”
“Rose!”
“Pregnant, that’s impossible. So check again carefully!”
Being pregnant at such a crucial time, everything she had planned was about to go awry.
Rose was busy getting angry, not even knowing what she was angry about.
Barinen, holding down Rose who was urgently trying to get up, seated her and shouted.
“We’ve already checked twice! Whose child is it…!”
“Pregnant, that can’t be. It’s impossible.”
Rose denied it with a dazed face, saying it couldn’t be.
Barinen swallowed his curses at Rose’s ominous expression.
He had made a foolish choice.
It was a huge mistake to have ridden on a shaky bridge with his daughter, trusting his deceased wife who had special abilities.
A mistake that could never be undone.
“Everyone out.”
Barinen gestured to the butler and told everyone to leave.
Seeing the butler nod, he would surely handle it well to prevent the physician and maid from leaking any information.
Rose’s room was filled with a precarious feeling due to the sudden quiet silence.
“Is it Count Iolls’ child?”
Rose couldn’t answer Barinen’s question and muttered again that it couldn’t be.
“It can’t be.”
Rose, staring blankly at her stomach, denied the fact that she was pregnant.
It was because of what her mother had whispered among the prophecies she remembered from the beginning.
‘The descendants of the Risky family cannot be unaware when a child is conceived in their womb. It’s said that the fairy left a strong desire for descendants, making the heart to protect the child stronger. That’s why I couldn’t help but know when my lovely you came to me.’
But Rose hadn’t felt anything at all.
If she had a strong desire to protect as her mother said, she should have felt reluctant to draw blood to find the prophecy.
Then Rose suddenly remembered something and urgently grabbed Barinen and asked.
“What about the gender?”
Rose urgently asked, thinking that even if it was early, the gender would have shown up on the diagnostic artifact.
Then Barinen clicked his tongue and answered.
“It’s a girl.”
“A… girl?”
Rose was shocked by Barinen’s answer.
If so, she should have known even more.
The prophecy of the Risky family was that the ability only manifests in the next generation’s female.
That’s why her mother had seen her prophecy in a dream and whispered it to her.
Just as her mother, Alisa, did, if it was a girl, she too should have seen the future of the child she was pregnant with.
“It’s absolutely impossible.”
Barinen, unaware of Rose’s circumstances, spoke firmly despite Rose’s resolute words, clearly displeased.
“Tsk, I’ll talk to the Iolls family. You get things in order.”
Rose, unable to come to her senses at Barinen’s words, pulled her senses back to reality.
“Get things in order?”
“Yes, sort out things with the Small Kingdom Alliance and prepare to apologize to the Medelia family.”
“What on earth are you talking about?”
Barinen, who was about to turn and leave, sighed deeply at Rose’s question and faced her.
“The plan to kill Count Medelia and take the mine, it can’t succeed. How can you succeed when the Imperial Knights and Marquis Kerenik are defending it like an iron wall?”
Barinen spoke coldly to wake Rose, who was still lost in an unattainable dream.
Too many things had already failed to make Rose’s plan succeed.
“Moreover, the Small Kingdom Alliance, no, the Kingdom of Tula and the Kingdom of Trumto that you trust so much, are hitting rock bottom without even having time to care about you.”
Even if his daughter were to have the mana stone mine now, it would be of little benefit to the Asila family.
Already, unsavory rumors about Peiron and Rose were widespread, causing even him to be frowned upon.
“Do you know who’s at the center of the reason they’re failing? It’s Count Medelia, whom you’re trying to kill.”
Rose’s eyes turned cold as Barinen mentioned Erina.
To this, Barinen looked down at Rose coldly and announced.
“You just need to give up. If you keep apologizing, you might be able to make a comeback someday.”
“Do you think that makes any sense now?”
“You go to the Medelia family and apologize. I’ll discuss the wedding date with the Iolls family.”
“Wedding date?”
Barinen sighed, looking at Rose as if she were pitiful.
“Well, are you going to raise the child alone when the father is alive and well?”
Leaving those words, Barinen turned around, and Rose urgently grabbed him.
“Don’t talk nonsense! Me, apologize?”
“You’re the one talking nonsense! What can you do now?”
Barinen shook off Rose’s hand grabbing his arm and left the room.
Rose stood dumbly in the middle of the room, lost in thought.
She couldn’t understand at all how it had come to this.
Even as she tried to think about what had gone wrong and where, all her thoughts scattered at the mention of being pregnant.
Rose raised her hand and placed it on her stomach.
She was with child.
A child that hadn’t existed even as a small dot in her plans.
The feeling was so strange.
She couldn’t even gauge whether it was good, bad, or distressing.
Rose had been helplessly holding onto her stomach before she moved.
She had to meet Peiron.
[This is the timeline separator]
The Iolls mansion had become a place that could be believed to be abandoned, having lost the old glory that Mirea had so boasted about to the nobles.
As they drastically reduced the number of people managing the mansion and even cut down on the knights guarding it, the colors the mansion once had disappeared one by one.
It seemed that the fresh greenery in the garden would be hard to see again, and none of the decorations that had adorned the mansion were visible.
There wasn’t even a gatekeeper guarding the entrance to the mansion.
A small figure entered such an Iolls mansion, opening the door.
‘Creak’
The unoiled iron gate made an unpleasant sound as it opened and closed.
But no one cared about this sound.
Just then, Peiron arrived at the mansion from the imperial palace.
As Peiron opened the gate and entered, he saw someone trying to enter the mansion not far away.
The person wearing a pitch-black robe looked quite suspicious.
Peiron hurriedly approached and asked.
“Hey, who are you?”
No matter how much the Iolls mansion had lost its former glory, it wasn’t a place lax enough to allow the visit of a thief.
An angry Peiron asked again to the back of the small-bodied person.
“Who are you and why are you here? Identify yourself.”
Then the person walking towards the mansion stopped.
Peiron strangely felt a sense of familiarity with that figure.
Just as he was about to open his mouth, the robed figure turned to face Peiron.
Peiron was startled when he saw the face of the person in the robe.
“…Rose?”
Rose, taking off the robe that had been covering her head, called out to Peiron.
“Ron.”
With a face as white as a sheet, Rose called Peiron with a fragile voice that seemed about to break.
For a very brief moment, the two stood there just looking at each other.
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…?
