“I’m sorry. I was just startled.”
“Hmm. You’re less dramatic than those others.”
“That’s normal. Leo’s disciple, after all.”
“Is my being the master’s disciple that surprising?”
“Goodness, you really don’t know? Leo declared eight years ago he wouldn’t take any disciples. You can’t imagine how many mages were disappointed. Leo was a living legend among wizards. Then suddenly, after his alleged death, his disciple appears.”
“Is the Master that remarkable?”
Cordelia was honestly flustered. She thought Leonard’s self-praise was somewhat exaggerated, but it seems he was even more impressive than she had assumed.
“Haha, you really didn’t know? Oh, I haven’t introduced myself. I’m Rosenbluer Elpenbaum. We met once at the inn.”
“Ah? You remember.”
“Of course. It’s not every day you see such a unique magical creature.”
“Loti is more of a dog than a magical creature.”
“May I ask your name?”
“Oh, I’m Cordelia Abrams.”
She bowed slightly in the manner of a lady.
“Abrams?”
“You probably haven’t heard of it. It’s quite a rural territory.”
“I see.”
“But may I ask you something?”
“Anything.”
“Are you close with my master? You seem to call him familiarly.”
“Hmm, how should I put it? Closer than an acquaintance but not quite a friend.”
“Ah, I see.”
“You see?”
“Well, it’s hard to imagine Master Leonard having friends, especially someone normal like you.”
“Hahaha.”
Rosenbluer stopped walking and laughed heartily. His voice was as pleasant as his laughter, reminding Cordelia oddly of bell chimes.
“Sorry for laughing… It’s just that you really seem like Leo’s disciple.”
“I am his disciple.”
“Yes, you seem to be.”
He smiled softly and resumed walking, with Cordelia following.
The deeper they went, the more breathtaking the sights became. The building’s dome ceiling was adorned with sparkling gems, shimmering so brightly they seemed almost to fall.
“Wow.”
Cordelia stopped, awestruck. Rosenbluer explained kindly,
“The gems in the ceiling are called the Hall of Stars. There are seventeen diamonds, each representing a faction. Originally there were sixteen, but eight years ago, Leo added a new star.”
“What was Master like eight years ago?”
“You don’t know?”
“No. I’ve only been with Master for, um, er…”
She paused, realizing she almost revealed the truth about their brief time together.
“Two?”
“Ah, a year. Yes, I met him about a year ago.”
“A year? That’s recent.”
Disappointment flashed across his face. She didn’t understand why her recent acquaintance with Leonard mattered but didn’t press the issue.
“So, you’ve just finished your apprenticeship and became a lower-level wizard.”
“That’s right.”
“Hmm. Well, even Leo couldn’t have predicted everything.”
He muttered something incomprehensible. They continued past the Hall of Stars, but Cordelia felt as if people were starting to crowd around them.
At first, she thought there was a gathering, but then she realized they were sneaking glances at Rosenbluer.
“Mr. Elpenbaum, are you famous here?”
“Me?”
“Yes. Everyone’s staring.”
“Well, they might be looking at you, not me.”
“Me? I’m here for the first time.”
“If you’re bearing Acheron and five wizards have seen it, by now all the wizards in Roepel know who you are. The elders and all Sirius of each faction probably know too.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Surprised at how quickly news spread in the wizarding world, Cordelia was taken aback.
As if to prove Rosenbluer’s point, an old man with a staff suddenly appeared.
With snow-white hair and dressed like a wizard from a fairy tale, he leaned in close to Cordelia and asked abruptly,
“So you’re Atillay’s disciple?”
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…?
