Reborn as the Wife He Killed Chapter 231: Staging the Plan
“Yes, we still need a proper setup.”Livia slowly withdrew her gaze, her voice low and composed, yet carrying firm resolve.“Jim is a prideful man—highly attuned to shifts in power. If I want to deceive him, I must make it look like I have control over this castle. Words alone won’t do. He needs to see people behind me—people who follow my command.”She paused, her eyes sweeping coldly over the tactical sketches on the table, her tone sharpening.“So I won’t bring soldiers from the First or Seventh Legions, and I won’t use any of your men either. That would raise his suspicions.”“Hm?” Elias frowned slightly, looking at her in surprise.“Then who are you planning to bring?”Livia raised her head, calm and unshakable.“Red and his companions.”“Red?” Marcellus blinked, clearly puzzled.“Who’s that? You’ve never mentioned him to me.”Elias, on the other hand, showed a flicker of recognition, quickly followed by concern.“That kid is clever, sure, and he’s got a good head on his shoulder

Livia gently patted the back of Marcellus’s hand, her tone warm but unwavering.“Alright, but you really don’t have to worry too much. Last time was his best chance to hurt me—when I was alone, trapped by him in that cave, with no one around and barely a way to escape. And he let it pass. It wasn’t that he lacked the chance—it was that he… didn’t want to.”Her gaze dropped slightly, as though recalling the danger of that moment. Yet, despite herself, a flicker of complex understanding surfaced in her expression.“Someone who truly wanted to kill me wouldn’t have hesitated. But he did. That means he has reservations—it means he has other plans. Besides, I played my part well last time: I showed fear when I needed to, humiliation when it served, leaked just enough detail, and fed him a few ‘useful’ pieces. He’s not stupid—he knew I was lying. And because of that, he’s more likely to believe I’m not truly aligned with any of you.”She paused, then fixed her eyes on Marcellus.“As long as

The three sat around the bedside, the flickering firelight in each of their eyes revealing a mix of unease and unwavering resolve.“We need to go over the details one more time,” Elise was the first to break the silence. She had always been the one who valued preparation above all else before taking action.“Livia’s safety is the top priority. After that—Jim must not discover the secret chamber, especially not realize that we’ve already found part of the Holy Grail’s trail. If he even suspects the existence of anything hidden within the castle, it’s all over.”“In other words,” Livia added softly, “we need a location that can lure him in, but is far enough from the chamber—or any of the castle’s secrets. Somewhere that, even if he tears apart every stone, he’ll find nothing.”It was then that Marcellus, who had remained silent for a long while, suddenly spoke. His voice was lower than usual, as if he were dredging something up from memory.“Actually… there’s a place near the depths of

“But he’s someone who always hides in the shadows—and he’s on Eryx’s side. How are we supposed to contact him? And who do we send?” Elias frowned, his tone laced with both concern and a subtle flicker of anticipation.Livia leaned lightly against the table, her fingers tapping a slow rhythm across its surface. Her narrowed gaze gleamed with a cunning sort of certainty.“You, of course.”“Me?” Elias blinked, momentarily caught off guard.“Exactly.” Livia nodded, a faint smile curling her lips—one that carried the lingering warmth of old memories.“He’s the king of the underworld. Those back alleys we ignore, the slums, the smuggling tunnels—even the pigeon lofts—could all be his eyes. All you need is to find a few familiar faces from the black market and pass on a message—straightforward, even blunt. He’s not the kind to sit still. The moment you leave an opening, he’ll be too eager to resist jumping in.”She paused, eyes momentarily distant, a flicker of reminiscence flashing through

“Yes, I already planted the seeds of doubt. Now, it’s a matter of whether we can use them to deceive Jim,” Livia said calmly, her voice unwavering with a quiet determination.“It’s time I met Jim face to face.”The moment her words fell, Marcellus stood up abruptly, his tone uncharacteristically sharp:“No. Absolutely not! It’s too dangerous!”He stared at her—not just with worry, but with fear and reluctance.“You’re talking about Jim. Based on everything we know about him, he’s not just Eryx’s subordinate—he’s one of the most ruthless and alert men in this city. How could you possibly deceive him under his nose? Even if you succeed, what could you actually get from him? We don’t even know for sure whether the well contains the Holy Grail.”Livia didn’t answer immediately. She simply looked at him—eyes steady, unwavering.“We can’t afford to miss any more chances,” she said slowly.“Of course I’m not foolish enough to try to ‘completely fool’ him. I only need to distract him—just eno
Reborn as the Wife He Killed Chapter 226: The Strategy of Discord
A few days later, a royal decree arrived swiftly from the capital, spreading through all the major cities like wildfire.The contents were terse, yet heavy with unspoken pressure: every major city must dispatch legions to the capital for a military parade—to demonstrate unity and the might of the central government.Before anyone could process the strangeness of this order, word had already spread—Eryx would personally lead a portion of the Second Legion to the capital.At once, whispers began to shift across the city.Upon receiving the command, Eryx remained silent for a long while. He knew this wasn’t a simple “military exercise.” The sudden summons stank of backstage manipulation. If they only needed a show of force, his personal presence wouldn’t have been necessary. He had sensed something for a while now—but there was no proof.Still, a direct order from the royal court couldn’t be refused.Before departing, he called his adjutant Will to his side, his tone as steady as always:
