Blackening the Affectionate Male Lead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 123
A day wasn’t as long as one might think.
The royal knights first summoned the court physician to treat Karl.
“We must move him to his chamber for treatment.”
At the request seeking Chester’s permission, he waved his hand dismissively. The physician promptly led Karl out of the audience chamber with the knights.
Silence fell once more. Chester sat expressionlessly in his chair, staring at his father.
“I’ll step out so you can think clearly without my presence.”
It didn’t matter if his father was lost in thought. Chester already held the upper hand. There was no need to rush or feel uneasy. He only had to wait and see what choice his father would make.
Those residing in the castle would also stand at a crossroads. A single day was sufficient—no need to stretch it out.
‘Tomorrow, Marquis Orche will arrive, and Whitney will come bearing Princess Violet’s letter.’
He would have preferred to settle matters beforehand, but clinging stubbornly to formalities would only complicate things later. Chester opened the door to the audience chamber.
Immediately, the knights standing guard snapped upright, gripping their swords tightly.
“Shall we remain here to guard the door?”
Chester shook his head at their question.
“No need. There’s nowhere for him to run, and the moment he steps out of this room, it’ll mean he’s already made his decision—he won’t act foolishly.”
Before the door closed, he gave a faint smile toward his father seated on the throne. After a slight bow, he walked calmly down the quiet corridor and out of the main palace.

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.

Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
