“Clang! Clang! Each time the sparkling blade collided, a cheerful metallic sound echoed.”
“Pull your jaw a bit more, and make sure your shoulders don’t shake! If your shoulders shake, there will be unnecessary movements!”
Clang!
“Keep your gaze forward, and exert strength in your abdomen to maintain balance.”
Eventually, Adel stopped wielding the sword.
“Let’s take a break for a moment.”
After Isabelle left, she had been practicing swordsmanship for hours.
Wearing white linen shirts and tightly fitting pants, with her hair tied high, both her bangs and the shirt were soaked with sweat.
“Swordsmanship is like a dance. If you lose the inherent elegance and swing it recklessly, it becomes a brawl of untrained street fighters.”
The white-haired knight who taught her swordsmanship didn’t spare any advice. However, Adel couldn’t accept that advice.
“I’d rather learn something more useful in actual combat than a street fighter’s brawl.”
The white-haired knight had a look of incomprehension.
“Do you plan to go to the battlefield soon?”
Adel smiled and shook her head.
“Thank you for your hard work. That’s enough for today.”
As the white-haired knight left, she stood in front of the mirror, holding a rapier in a posture.
She didn’t want elegant swordsmanship. She wanted to learn something that could protect herself from any threat.
She had forgotten about it while living with Christine.
Eventually, she had to protect her own life.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The sharp blade started piercing through the air again.
“Adel, that silver wolf that harmed your mother might be very close by.”
“If the Silver Wolf were a human, wouldn’t it be a different appearance? I often think that way.”
Those stories didn’t leave her mind.
‘Ridiculous!’
As if shattering unnecessary thoughts, her movements became faster and more fierce.
Her face turned red, sweat dropped to the ground, shoulders twitched, and her breath became rough.
“Ah…!”
For a moment, her foot slipped, and she tumbled, losing her balance.
Thud!
Adel remained sprawled on the floor for a while, unable to move. Her chest heaved due to the relentless and panting breaths.
‘Ha, this is ridiculous….’
Despite thinking that, the moment she heard Isabelle’s words, the image of the Silver Wolf overlapped with Christine.
When he appeared leading the pack of wolves, for a moment, he looked like a wolf.
Silver hair, azure gray eyes…
Was it just a coincidence?
But the Silver Wolf she saw in her bedroom not long ago bothered her.
She dismissed it as a dream in a half-awake state, but she often thought it wasn’t just a dream.
“Please understand our leader’s actions. Our leader is a wolf.”
“What?”
Surprised, Adel looked up, meeting the affectionate azure gray eyes. Christine was standing by her head, gazing down at her.
‘Yeah, what a foolish thought. He’s definitely a human….’
She decided to dismiss the thought that he resembled the Silver Wolf.
“Fell while practicing swordsmanship.”
Adel extended her arm playfully.
“Need help getting up?”
“Yeah. Can’t get up on my own.”
With a bewildered expression, he grabbed her arm and effortlessly helped her up. Then he handed her a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat and draped his outer garment over her to maintain warmth.
“Since when have you been learning swordsmanship?”
“It’s been three days. I didn’t tell you because you haven’t been around.”
“Oh, sorry.”
“It’s okay. You were busy.”
“But why suddenly swordsmanship?”
“You said it yourself. Swinging a sword without knowing how to wield it is self-harm. At least, I thought I should protect my own life.”
“With such an excellent guardian by your side?”
Adel cast a fleeting glance.
“You’re saying that after returning in three days?”
“Hmph!”
He made a pointless cough, feigning indifference.
“Anyway, did you return early today? Or should I go out again?”
“If I couldn’t get in today, they said I might get kicked out, so I barely escaped. Still, if a summons comes, I might have to go.”
“How long will you continue like this?”
“Until the culprit is caught.”
“If the culprit is the Silver Wolf….”
He quickly interrupted Adel’s words.
“It’s not the Silver Wolf.”
Again, a sensitive response.
“Do you have any guess about the suspected culprit then?”
“The culprit is a monster who wants to pin the blame on the Silver Wolf.”
“A monster?”
“If they can brutally kill a person, even if they took on a human form, they are a monster. And the reason that monster has been dormant until now is that it hasn’t been here.”
At that moment, Adel thought of Stone.
Come to think of it, these horrific incidents occurred after his return. And the cruel methods of handling the malicious corpses seemed possible if it were Stone.
“After investigating, it turns out that a similar incident occurred in the Orbis Kingdom for eight years. We might learn more about the situation when the dispatched investigator returns.”
“Really Stone?”
“For now, it’s a suspicion.”
Adel shuddered all over.
At the same time, she didn’t know why she felt relieved.
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…?
