Reborn as the Wife He Killed Chapter 233: Midnight Tomorrow—At the Hunter’s Cabin
Night had fallen.Heavy clouds blanketed the sky, choking off even the faintest starlight. The entire city seemed to hold its breath, waiting for some unseen undercurrent to stir quietly into motion.Beneath a dilapidated eave not far from the castle, Jim stood alone, fingers brushing lightly over a slightly yellowed note.The ink was still fresh. The handwriting was clean and sharp—yet with the distinct elegance and subtle edge only a woman’s hand could produce.He had discovered it while slowly making his way toward the castle, and it was clear Livia had sent someone to plant it there on purpose. Jim had no doubt there were other such notes scattered along the path—each one serving only one purpose:To lead him to their meeting place.—“Midnight tomorrow, at the hunter’s cabin. Come alone.”There was no signature.But he knew—it could only be her.“Hunter’s cabin…” he murmured, folding the note and tucking it away. His gaze was dark and unreadable, deep as the night sky.Of course h

And so, a perilous plan quietly set in motion—like a dice cast into the dark, its path uncertain, guided only by fate.At last, the day arrived when Eryx was to lead his legion out of the city.The morning sun had not yet fully climbed over the city walls, but the inner square was already filled with a perfectly assembled military formation.Regimental banners snapped sharply in the wind. Everything was so orderly, so precise, it felt more like the prelude to a grand ceremony than a military departure.Yet Eryx did not appear before the soldiers.He stood at the high window of the governor’s residence, overlooking the troops lined up below.His brows were furrowed with deep thought as his gaze passed over each face—soldiers he had personally trained. Their steps were firm, their eyes resolute, and their aura overpowering.But his heart felt heavy.He wasn’t a man who trusted instinct easily, but the unease in his chest now was undeniable.“The men are chosen, and there’s no shortage o

“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
