In the end, Liz got irritated as Kain followed her all the way to the garden and even moved her to her room.
“It’s okay, just a while ago…….”
“Just a while ago?”
Kain stopped himself from saying ‘Didn’t you hit your head on your own?’ He was worried that Liz would show displeasure if she knew he had been watching.
“No. Is there anything you need?”
“Nothing. Even if there is, I won’t ask you. I’ll ask Mirabel.”
Liz said with a sullen face like a scolded child.
“Understood.”
Kain agreed without any displeasure.
Liz finally thought he was leaving the room. But then.
“Will you see Matson again?”
At the unexpected question, Liz looked up at Kain obliquely. Her face seemed to ask why he was curious. Then Kain added with a smiling face.
“I’m just curious.”
Liz sighed heavily and said.
“I won’t see him for a while.”
“Why?”
“Just, a little tired.”
“……Yes.”
Was it a delusion? Kain seemed relieved.
“Understood. Then I’ll leave without bothering you further. Rest, Miss.”
Kain, now in a better mood, was about to turn around, smiling brightly, when,
“Hold on.”
This time Liz stopped him.
“Yes? What can I do for you?”
Kain turned and asked. His twinkling eyes seemed to say please ask me to do something.
But Liz had no intention of doing so. She had called him not because she had something to ask or needed something.
She was just curious about Kain’s face.
Not the fake, but…… the real face.
‘What is your true appearance? The real face of the Crown Prince hidden behind that platinum blonde hair and aquamarine eyes.’
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
But she couldn’t say that, so she decided to say what she would normally say.
“Just…… because you’re handsome.”
(This is a time separator.)
「Kain took a potion periodically to hide his appearance. Thanks to that, he was able to hide for ten years without being discovered.」
Left alone in the room, Liz recalled the original work and muttered softly.
“Potion…… potion……”
Real novels must be novels. There’s even a potion that changes your face.
No, it wasn’t that it changed the face, but made it unrecognizable, wasn’t it? She didn’t remember well. Anyway, I want to try it too. It would be totally fun.
But if Liz knew the pain the medicine gave, she wouldn’t have said that.
“Ugh…….”
Once every ten days, when he took the medicine, Kain had to shiver with pain as if his organs were being torn apart. It was immense pain. Sometimes it seemed better to be exposed like this. No, it seemed better to die.
Phew…….
After the pain swept past, he lay on the cold floor, staring blankly at the ceiling with a tired face.
Suddenly he saw dust floating in the air.
He watched each speck of dust enter and disappear under the sunlight, repeating the process, and Kain quietly recalled Liz’s words.
‘I won’t see her for a while.’
He felt a deep relief at that.
Not because of her decision not to see her, but because he no longer had to commit petty acts.
He didn’t feel particularly guilty.
It was only natural for him to end the relationship by pulling in the Luvent government, finding out Count Barlowe’s blame, and threatening. If not, Liz would be trying on a gabonmade wedding dress by now.
He even considered giving her trauma so that she could not dare to see her ever again.
He had no regrets about all those plans, but he couldn’t help feeling disillusioned with himself.
Why do I have to do this? What on earth is Liz to me?
He wished it were just his pride towards a woman who no longer loved him.
He even tried to think of Liz’s annoying sides to cut off his affection.
But…
Was it really annoying? Her obsession?
Now even that was uncertain.
The fact that a maid was fired for exchanging a few words with him, that a cartload came out easily, that he frequently called her in to check if there were traces of another woman on his body, that he was anxious if he didn’t see it and was just nagging. Looking back on those aspects now, they seemed merely cute.
And perhaps it’s not that my feelings toward Liz have changed, but that I may have always felt that way, like dust particles that only become visible when sunlight shines on them.
If she had been so annoying, she would have left here long ago. Or killed her outright.
The reason she didn’t was…
Because I didn’t hate her either…
Dingding.
Suddenly, the sound of the calling bell rang out.
It was a signal that the maid’s rest time was over.
Kain rose from his seat and approached the mirror.
The traces of pain had long disappeared, and the bloodshot sclera had become clear and transparent. On the face where the question was resolved, a sense of happiness even surpassed tranquility.
He carefully looked at his own face while adjusting his disheveled appearance, and suddenly Liz’s words came to mind in Kain’s head.
‘Just because you’re handsome.’
Because you’re handsome…
Repeating those words quietly, Kain laughed as if it was ridiculous.
“With just this much.”
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…?
