The ballroom sparkled with resplendent light, casting shimmering reflections as the elegant melody filled the air. Graceful steps and twirls intertwined, painting a dreamlike scene on the polished floor. Among the dancers, Marcellus and Alia drew many glances, but another captivating pair—Elias and Lianna—also stole the spotlight.

Lianna’s dress swirled like blooming petals with each step, her radiant smile so warm it could melt the winter’s chill. Dancing alongside her, Elias wore a perfectly tailored white suit, exuding the poise of a prince stepped out of a painting, his every move brimming with grace and charm.

Lianna’s delight at dancing with her heart’s desire was unmistakable, her happiness lighting up her face.

As the music transitioned into a new passage, the dancers began to exchange partners. Elias moved deliberately toward Lianna and Marcellus, offering a courteous bow and extending his hand to indicate his intention to swap. His eyes were gentle yet firm, leaving no room

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 363 – The Guidance of the Beams

    The Holy Grail hovered in midair, slowly revolving. The fissures along its broken rim seemed to be pried open by some unseen force, and from each gap, sharp beams of light burst forth, slicing through the night.The rays stretched deep into the forest, toward the island’s edge, toward the shadows beneath distant cliffs—calling, summoning, or revealing a fate long hidden.In an instant, the darkness tore apart, revealing multiple paths leading toward the unknown.“Apparently, you do not know” Edgar murmured, lifting his gaze to the converging beams. His tone was so calm that it was hard to tell whether he was composed… or simply concealing something. “It seems our other friends are also somewhere on this island.Why not gather everyone together?”The moment he finished speaking, one of the beams shot straight down and enveloped him—striking squarely against his chest.He did not step back. Instead, he reached calmly into his coat, as though he had been expecting this. He withdrew two f

    The night grew darker, and the air around them seemed to tighten under an unseen weight.Marcellus lifted the half of the Holy Grail in his hand, his gaze sweeping over the others. His voice was low, steady, and tinged with caution.“Looks like we’ll have to follow where this light leads us. But now—someone has to carry it. Who will it be?”The Grail shimmered faintly, casting its dull radiance across their faces as if silently judging each of them.Edgar let out a soft, dismissive laugh—careless, almost taunting.“I don’t care. Take it if you want. I already have the gemstone. Even if you walk away with the Grail, what difference does it make?”Eryx snorted coldly, his tone dripping with mockery.“Then let Livia hold it. I’d like to see what happens when the two of you—father and daughter—finally turn on each other.”The air froze in an instant.Livia’s fingers trembled ever so slightly. Her eyes flicked from her father to the Grail, then back again. For a long moment, she said nothi

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 361 – The Grail’s Guidance

    The night was deep as ink.The moment the four of them stepped into the forest, the air seemed to freeze around them. Beneath their boots, the thick carpet of fallen leaves was damp and soft, releasing faint crunches with every step. Tree shadows wove together under the moonlight like a thousand unseen eyes watching. The wind hissed through the branches, carrying with it a low, whispering murmur—like spirits speaking just beyond hearing.This forest had always been shrouded in legend.Some said it was the Grail’s resting place; others claimed it was land forsaken by the gods—where all who entered eventually lost themselves.Edgar walked in front, his cloak rippling in the night breeze, strands of gray-white hair swaying with it. His pace was steady, unhurried, as though he knew this place well. Yet the others could feel it clearly—the further they went, the heavier the shadows pressed down upon them, as if the forest itself was closing in.Alia walked beside Marcellus, pulling her clo

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 360 – Into the Forest

    “You know far less about the Holy Grail than I do,” Edgar said slowly, his tone calm and deliberate, yet carrying a weight that brooked no doubt. “The Grail does grant wishes—but when too many desires rise at once, it will choose. It decides whose wish to fulfill… and whose to erase.”He lifted his gaze, letting it drift over them one by one. The faint curve at his lips was neither a smile nor mockery—just something unreadable.“So in the end,” he said softly, “it comes down to whose will burns stronger, whose heart rings truer.”“So you mean you’ve already won?” Eryx sneered, his voice edged with steel. “You know the most, you’ve planned the best, and you’re the only one who understands the ritual. You expect us to believe you’re giving us a fair chance?”Candlelight glimmered against his face, catching in the cold gleam of his eyes.But Edgar didn’t bristle. He merely narrowed his eyes slightly, not in anger but in calculation—like a player already several moves ahead in a game of c

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 359 – The Holy Grail Chooses Its Own Master

    “I don’t know what happened between you,” Alia said, her voice cold and steady, carrying a faint tremor she tried to suppress. “Nor do I know why we’re here. I only know this—my husband is hurt, and I need to take care of him.”She paused, then lifted her gaze toward Edgar. Her tone softened, but the words pricked like fine needles—calm on the surface, edged with quiet defiance.“I didn’t expect to see you here… Father.”The air froze.Firelight flickered in her eyes, unable to hide that glint of steel. She was lying—she knew exactly why she had come, knew that everything before her had long been nudged toward this moment by some unseen hand of fate. Yet she still wore that mask of innocence, using composure to drown the storm within.She didn’t know why—perhaps it was because of that fragment, or the strange gravity it carried—but she could feel Livia’s emotions pulsing through her: that torn sense of loyalty, that chaotic love, that impossible distance between daughter and father.F

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 358 – Livia, My Good Daughter

    He was still dressed in his signature black formal coat, silver hair meticulously combed, his expression calm and unwavering.Time had carved deep lines across his face, but none of it could dull the aura he carried—the quiet, immovable weight of power. It wasn’t the kind of presence that oppressed, but rather one steeped in tragedy and resolve, a solemn majesty born of loss.Eryx was the first to step forward, his voice low but edged with anger.“So it was all you, then? Every move, every death—part of your grand design? You even wagered our lives? You truly are a fine ruler, Edgar.”Edgar lifted his gaze, unflinching. “I only guided fate to where it was meant to go.”Eryx’s jaw tightened, and he took another step, fists clenching at his sides.“Fate? Don’t you dare blame this on fate, Edgar! If it hadn’t been for your obsession with the Grail’s power, Celesta would still be alive! You speak of rebirth—but you couldn’t even protect one life!”For a moment, the air in the room froze s
