But the air here had changed somehow. Like someone had gently stirred up a sleeping potion, the air was causing a strange ripple.
Who on earth?
“Everyone, leave and close the door.”
As his command fell, people withdrew in fear.
Bang!
Soon, a heavy iron door closed, leaving only Maurice and the brown wolf.
Lifting the Papal Hall he was holding, Maurice began to recite a prayer.
He intended to put the creature to sleep using the Ancient Elvish inscribed on its body.
Finding the culprit would come later.
Woo-oo-oo-oo…
A faint blue light enveloped Maurice and began to spread wider.
Pop!
However, as soon as that light collided with the Ancient Elvish on the wolf’s body, it bounced off.
At the same time, Maurice’s body staggered.
“…This can’t be!”
He was quite shocked.
The spell didn’t work.
Above all, what was mind-boggling was that he lost control over the Ancient Elvish he had inscribed himself!
Does this mean…
“Someone cast a stronger spell than mine?”
He was the priest with the strongest abilities within the Papal See.
The reason the Pope trusted and valued him was precisely that. The Pope’s sacred abilities had long since declined.
However, the fact that his spell didn’t work indicated that the power of the one who resurrected the brown wolf was stronger.
“Who on earth…?”
He couldn’t guess.
Someone who had hidden such strong power until now.
Considering that the guards at the door hadn’t seen anyone, it seemed like this person also had the ability to teleport.
For what purpose did this person enter the Papal See?
“Above all, if this fact leaks to the outside…”
This brown wolf belonged to the wolf clan.
The Papal See strictly adhered to the rule of exterminating the wolf clan.
Anyone who violated this rule was severely punished by the Papal See, regardless of their identity.
Revealing that someone attempted to turn the wolf clan into undead would cause significant trouble.
“I have to find this person somehow!”
To find even a small clue, he scrutinized every corner of the prayer room with a sharp gaze. Then, he paused.
Twinkle!
Something caught his eye that was entirely out of place in this dim prayer room.
A silent and tranquil night.
Trainee priests who were walking down the corridor stopped in unison.
At the end of the dark corridor, a woman with long silver hair wearing a black linen dress was approaching.
For some reason, an eerie feeling made the hair on their heads stand up.
But soon, they recognized her as a familiar woman.
“Wow, surprised me!”
“Leanna, what are you doing up at this hour without sleeping?”
Although they tried to strike up a conversation, Leanna, as usual, responded with a smile and walked past them.
Behind Leanna, the trainee priests started to giggle.
“It must be tough, Leanna. Working day and night.”
“Night work is probably done for money, right?”
“If we pay, will you meet us too?”
Among the trainee priests, most were from noble families, and some were of low quality. Some of them drank alcohol and met with prostitutes.
Although they were expelled from the Papal See and paid a hefty fine if caught, returning to the noble life was all that mattered to them.
If they weren’t caught, they could go back to their hometown and scrape together money for the rest of their lives.
That’s why most trainee priests received education from high-ranking noble sons.
“Leanna, how much would it cost? Huh?”
Stop.
Leanna, who was walking down the corridor, stopped.
The trainee priests who were talking loudly fell silent. However, there was no reason for a young girl doing menial work to be scared of them.
“Why? Did you understand that I’m talking about money?”
“Shut up.”
Everyone doubted their ears.
Could that low and imposing voice possibly belong to Leanna?
“What are you saying right now…?”
“Shut your mouth, got a clogged ear or something?”
Turning towards them, Leanna spoke methodically.
It wasn’t the girl who always worked quietly without using military terms but seemed talkative enough to be lacking.
Her gray eyes glaring at them shone as cold as ice.
Gulp.
The trainee priests, unknowingly tense, were agitated as if they were getting heated.
“I’m being lenient with you!”
When one of them rushed forward as if to strike,
Thunk!
His body instantly flew through the air and slammed onto the floor.
“You, what’s going on right now…!”
Everyone was bewildered by the situation. Leanna didn’t move at all, yet their colleague was now covered in blood and collapsed.
“I kindly told you to shut up. You know how to blabber on, but you don’t know how to listen to what people say.”
Not only did Leanna turn the person into a bloody mess, but she also subdued all the trainee priests with rough language.
“Who… who are you?”
They asked, frightened.
It didn’t seem like the Leanna they knew from their mundane tasks. If it were, they wouldn’t be so scared.
Instead of answering, Leanna glared at them with a chilling gaze.
“If you reveal what you’ve witnessed, blood will pour from every hole in your body. This is the last warning. Open your ears properly and listen. Understood?”
“Hiccup!”
While the trainee priests were whimpering, they quickly nodded their heads.
“Now get lost.”
Before she finished speaking, the trainee priests fled with their bloodied colleague.
As they disappeared into the darkness of the corridor, Leanna sighed.
“Ha… What have I done.”
In fact, she had been extremely sensitive since earlier. It was because she had lost her cherished pendant.
The pendant was the only heirloom left by her deceased father. Moreover, it contained a portrait of her father inside.
Whenever Leanna felt upset or uneasy, she had a habit of touching it or looking into her father’s face. It helped her calm down.
But now, the pendant wasn’t hanging around her neck. Even after searching through her clothes and apron pockets, it was nowhere to be found.
It was undoubtedly lost.
She retraced her movements throughout the day to find the pendant. Despite searching for hours, it was futile.
Then her nerves became extremely sharp.
It hadn’t even been a day or two since they mocked her.
“If I find the pendant, I should leave this place as soon as possible.”
She warned them to shut their mouths, but she couldn’t trust their words.
“Did I really lose it there?”
The last place Leanna would check was the only place left.
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…?
