“The blood of a goat is said to be a medium to summon demons, and its horn is known as a flute that calls forth monsters, the minions of the devil.”
When he secretly left earlier, I noticed he was carrying something. It seems it was the horn of a goat.
‘I think I get the gist of what happened.’
Deverti sneaking out.
And the sudden invasion of monsters.
Deverti, who went out to follow Deverti, returned after killing a monster, and Deverti was found with the horn of a goat, which is said to summon monsters.
“Ha. That insane man.”
I cursed under my breath as I brushed back my hair, causing the maid next to me to cover her mouth in shock.
“……Leah. You’re practically a Northerner now, aren’t you?”
I was being treated as one of the eccentric Northerners.
“What the hell have you been up to?”
Deverti, who barely made it back, was greeted by an infuriated Delia.
“……I’m tired from not sleeping well all night. Let’s talk tomorrow.”
Deverti collapsed onto the bed, his face underneath showing an expression full of resentment.
The goat’s horn, a gift he had stowed in the carriage, was supposed to be a precaution against unforeseen circumstances.
Forced to leave the capital amid scandal, he needed something to protect himself, and in case of trouble, he planned to use the goat’s horn to summon monsters and escape.
The reason he had the goat’s horn was just that, nothing more, nothing less. After fleeing the capital, his carriage broke down, leading to an unexpected stop in the North.
He resented having to rely on the detestable Violentus family. And as Delia showed interest in Laches, his anger boiled over.
Because Delia always clung to Deverti, begging him not to leave her.
Deverti had fueled his ego with Delia’s desperate affection. So it had to be that way.
But then, she goes out for a walk in the middle of the night, dressed to the nines.
‘This is all your fault, Delia.’
His patience, already frayed, snapped completely. He impulsively grabbed the goat’s horn that summoned monsters.
I am from a guardian family, too. I can catch those damned monsters and prove it.
But the result was disastrously failed. As soon as the blood touched the goat’s horn, like a snake charmed by the flute’s sound, monsters attacked, and Deverti almost cried.
If not for the knights of the Violentus family, he might have…
“Where have you been, and what is this goat’s horn for? Who were you planning to give it to?”
“Shut up!”
Everyone knew that a goat’s horn was a flute that summoned monsters, except for the ignorant Delia.
Frustrated with Delia’s cluelessness, Deverti lost his temper and threw a cushion, narrowly missing her and hitting the wall instead.
“Deverti. Did you just throw that at me?”
“Delia, can’t you see how tired I am? Do you even love me?”
Deverti sighed, exasperated. But Delia wouldn’t back down.
“Where have you been all night, so tired? Were you with another woman?”
“Ha, what? Who came up with that nonsense?”
“There’s someone who saw you with another woman!”
Delia’s eyes brimmed with tears as she snapped back.
“I don’t know any women here! So, where do you think I’ve been?”
“Ha.”
Admitting that shameful incident was more unbearable than death itself.
Deverti covered his eyes with his palm.
Beautiful Delia. Fun to be around because she thought of nothing. That was all it was supposed to be.
“Lepherentia wouldn’t have done this.”
“……What?”
“Lepherentia never questioned me or got angry like this.”
Delia’s breath hitched at Deverti’s murmuring.
Hearing the name of her former friend suddenly brought up, it felt as if she had been hit on the head with a stone.
‘Lepherentia wouldn’t have done this.’ Those words had wrecked Delia’s life.
She thought she had escaped the shadow, but it still loomed.
“……Sob, sob.”
Delia eventually burst into tears. Deverti sighed deeply, seeing her cry, and stood up to hold her tightly in his arms, like a kind and gentle person.
“I’m sorry, Delia. Don’t cry. ……You know I said I was too tired.”
It was an ambiguous comfort, unclear whether it was an excuse or a genuine apology.
“I really didn’t meet any other woman. We came here together, so why would I meet someone else?”
“Sob, sob…….”
“You should trust me, not what others say. Right? I’m telling the truth, Delia. I just took a few rounds of a walk and that’s all.”
Delia didn’t answer.
In Deverti’s embrace, she could smell the cold dawn air on him. His back and trousers had traces of dirt and leaves, indicating he had been lying down somewhere. This was not typical of Deverti, unless it involved undressing a woman.
Meaning, he must have been rolling around somewhere.
“Let’s explore the North together tomorrow, okay? You said there were many places you wanted to see on the first day.”
But Delia couldn’t press further, fearing she would again be compared to Lepherentia.
At least she had to be a better partner than Lepherentia.
“……Okay. Sniff.”
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…?
