Blackening the Affectionate Male Lead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 122
Elenia immediately understood the meaning behind Sir Walter’s words. She loved the king, but she knew well enough that his ways differed from those of others.
She also knew that her inability to let him go stemmed from her own stubbornness. It was time to stop turning away and face reality head-on. Elenia no longer wished for Chester to suffer because of her.
“…I suppose it’s time I took my son’s hand.”
The only thing Elenia could do for that pitiful child, who had spent his life quietly enduring for her sake, was to take his hand.
“I’ll go. If I stay here, the king will surely try to use me once again as leverage against Chester.”
Elenia followed Sir Walter out of the mansion. She had a good idea of what consequences her choice would bring.
Chester drawing his sword meant he intended to see things through to the end. The king of the Kingdom of Lewen would soon change.
‘So it’s come to this after all.’
If Sir Walter had stepped in personally, it meant the situation had gone terribly awry. Elenia cautiously asked him,
“Is this because of His Majesty the King’s capriciousness?”
“…I don’t know the details, but it seems likely.”
She asked no further questions. As she followed him out of the mansion, she saw Margrave Rubernus accompanied by several knights.
“We’ve come to escort you, Lady Elenia.”
“Thank you all for your efforts. Shall we go? His Majesty the King must be waiting.”
Those guarding the mansion had not yet received news. Being far from the capital, they only received the morning newspapers in the afternoon. They had to reach the capital before these guards realized something was amiss.

After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
