Even upon seeing the yellow flower stuck in my chest, Hadel’s teasing skills were exceptional.
“Looks like a festival that excites the young.”
Recalling the joke the grandmother made earlier, I chuckled.
Just then, it felt like Hadel embraced my shoulders, but instead, he exerted force as if pulling my body towards him.
“Let’s go over there, Marian.”
“Huh? Uh, okay.”
Feeling somewhat flustered, I walked with Hadel’s arms partly around me. At that moment, the man from earlier chuckled and teased Hadel from behind.
“The space is narrow, bro!”
Upon hearing that, I frowned.
“He’s talking as if Hadel is jealous.”
Impossible for Hadel to be like that. Even thinking about it seemed unreasonable, so I waved my hand dismissively. Then, tapping Hadel’s shoulder and signaling him to release his arm around my shoulder, Hadel, for some reason, hesitated for a moment before slowly letting go.
I walked right next to Hadel and spoke cheerfully.
“Neris is indeed a wealthy and prosperous territory. It would be great if the Grand Lord could hold a similar festival. After all, the foundation for increasing the population is undoubtedly marriage, right?”
“…….”
However, for some reason, Hadel’s face darkened even more. Walking a bit further without a response, I continued with a cheerful voice.
“But that fountain doesn’t seem likely. Most of it would be frozen for the majority of the year.”
Even when I pointed to the frozen fountain with my finger, Hadel still didn’t respond. Perplexed, I scratched my cheek.
“Am I the only one enjoying this?”
Thinking about it, it wasn’t like this when we were happily wandering around. Hadel now had important negotiations ahead, discussing the price of horse-drawn carriages and the delivery date.
“Hadel must be feeling complicated emotions with important negotiations ahead, and here I am all excited.”
Shall I just suggest going straight to the Lord’s castle?
While contemplating, someone tugged at the hem of my clothes. Since the person pulling wasn’t visible, I looked around and finally found them down below.
It was a girl who seemed about seven years old. Her round eyes sparkled like glass beads.
“Sister, are you a princess?”
“Huh? Why are you suddenly saying that?”
“Mom said so. She said the princess has sparkling, beautiful pink hair. Are you on a secret date with the prince right now?”
‘A secret date.’
‘The kids these days are really precocious.’
If she says I’m a princess, it’s true. Haven’t you heard of the White-Bristled Princess?
The girl once again grabbed the hem of my clothes and pointed to the large tree behind me.
“Princess, this tree is an Evergreen. If you kiss under this tree on a day like today, you’ll be happy forever.”
“Is that so?”
Although I’ve seen this tree somewhere before, the name was unfamiliar. Unfortunately, the majestic aura or romance that would make you happy forever didn’t seem to be felt.
‘Surely, this kid didn’t make up the legend?’
Even if I look young, I’m over 100 years old. I can’t stand being teased by a grandma.
Whether the child knew I was suspicious or not, the kid clung to my clothes and earnestly advised me.
“Never miss the chance to kiss the prince. Got it?”
“Thanks.”
I answered, so they should leave now.
I waved my hand, expecting them to leave quickly. However, the child, who seemed to retreat like a squirrel, hid behind the tree and peeked at me.
‘Surely they’re not planning to stare until we kiss?’
Really. Shouldn’t I find and talk to this child’s parents? Coming all the way to another territory, I didn’t expect to have to worry about children’s education.
Anyway, since no one was around to witness something like a kiss, I tapped Hadel’s shoulder.
“Hadel, shouldn’t we head to the castle now?”
“Marian.”
“Hmm?”
However, Hadel, who had been quiet, suddenly spread his arms and hugged me. Caught off guard by the unexpected attack, I flailed my hands.
“Why are you doing this, Hadel? Just a moment.”
There’s a kid watching our interaction like a hawk.
Despite my discomfort and flailing hands, Hadel held me even tighter. Maybe something bothered him. Anyway, since I didn’t mind the warmth, I eventually let Hadel be.
Hadel, who approached my ear, whispered in a low voice.
“I’ll make this territory much better than it is now in a few years.”
“Uh? Sure.”
Having ambitious goals is good. I nodded. Hadel’s story continued.
“I’ll practice more to control fire freely, and I’ll ask the royal family to expand the territory.”
“Huh? Expanding the territory?”
That means I’ll have to meet that annoying bird prince again. I was about to answer that it was okay, but Hadel suddenly loosened his arms around me and faced me directly. His serious red eyes sparkled like rubies in the darkness.
“So, marry me.”
It was a proposal I couldn’t have imagined!
I pursed my lips, then slowly exhaled a sigh.
“Oh, really…”
At my sigh, Hadel’s body trembled slightly. It seemed he thought I sighed because I didn’t like the proposal. I chuckled and covered Hadel’s cheek with both hands.
“All day, I thought you were bored.”
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…?
