“Marquis Liranef found your mother not to kill her and instead… Could it be that he wanted to find out the results of the experiments his mother had done independently?”
“…”
“But the tongue that could provide new information was cut off. And it seems like she wasn’t in the right state of mind to write properly.”
“…Right.”
“So, thinking of her as a dangerous individual who knows too much…”
Raising my head thoughtfully, I continued. The golden eyes of Revanpel flickered in the sunlight that shone through the stained glass.
“Perhaps from over there.”
“…”
“The successful result of the experiment, Revanpel, maybe they are looking for you.”
“How was it, Marquis?”
“…I tried what you said, but there was no fluctuation. Just because of mixing with the High Priest, my ears got dirty for nothing.”
Marquis Liranef washed his ears with cold water, frowning. Geneva, who had been lying on the small sofa, raised her head and chuckled.
“That’s not it. It’s strange. It should have been a Saintess. It has to match front and back.”
The legs protruding from outside the sofa swayed in the air. Watching that pathetic sight, Marquis Liranef wiped his wet ear with a handkerchief and refuted.
“The High Priest personally confirmed it, so it must be correct. If she were a Saintess, the High Priest wouldn’t just let her be.”
“Well. The results will come out soon, right? Did that young lady go down to the province?”
“Yeah. When she changed her appearance, it seems she didn’t even meet her family. Since she was such an independent young lady, her family didn’t find it strange.”
“Marquis made a good choice. So, how long do you think she can endure this time?”
Genevra asked with a fascinated expression as she sat up.
“Well, it probably won’t be more than a month.”
“Hmm. It would be nice if she could survive for a long time…”
“What about you? Didn’t you say you went to the Kingdom of Lupeon and just returned? Was there any achievement?”
Marquis Liranef sat across from Genevra. Meanwhile, all the tea had cooled down, losing both its aroma and taste.
Thinking that Marquis Liranef had cut his tongue, he placed the teacup down, but Genevra drank the tea as if nothing had happened.
“Well. The results will probably come out soon from there too. The successor to the Lupeon Kingdom visits various places so frequently that it’s unknown where the illness originated.”
Genevra laughed and sipped her tea again.
“If there is a Saintess, both sides will try to save her, right? It’s difficult to talk about luck or miracles this time.”
“Perhaps.”
“I want to see the Empress in person… but she never comes out. It’s just that one or two people around her have to be careful. It’s better to be cautious since Swordmaster Tenen Viscount is by the Empress’s side.”
“I also have the guards that Marquis introduced, so I’m fine.”
In a different world, they wouldn’t have been in a relationship where they could sit facing each other, having a conversation and drinking tea like this. Genevra was a lower-ranking noble and an alchemist, while Marquis Liranef was a prominent figure even among the nobility.
“This tea is really delicious.”
Genevra laughed gracefully, mimicking the manners of nobility. Marquis Liranef sighed and extended his teacup to Genevra.
God was already over. This world will perish, so it’s only natural to put everything in a place where even a little hope is visible.
“Do your best, Genevra. I still don’t have thoughts of dying over all this.”
“Yes. That’s the way to go.”
Genevra enjoyed the completely cooled tea as if it were delicious.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
