Can an Enemy Become Salvation? (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 72
Lia hesitated for a moment before beginning to speak about the time she first met Demil in Caries.
“To be honest, when I first saw you, I thought you were a frightening person. And then, after that incident happened…”
Demil couldn’t fail to understand. Their first meeting hadn’t exactly been pleasant, and shortly afterward, they’d nearly died because of a monster.
Besides, that kind of look was all too familiar to him.
“But the young lady has told me a great deal about you, Sir Demil.”
“Lady Ivenel?”
“She said you’re an exceptional knight—strongly devoted to your duty, incredibly skilled, and full of admirable qualities. She also mentioned that although you seem aloof and quiet, you’re actually a warm-hearted person.”
Hearing that Ivenel had said such things directly made Demil feel both embarrassed and awkward. It was the first time he’d ever received praise like this.
“To be honest, I didn’t quite agree with her back then. But after speaking with you myself, I think I understand what she meant.”
Lia had always been puzzled whenever Ivenel praised Demil, but after seeing him personally come to help without ignoring her difficult situation, she finally understood.
Perhaps because of that, the intimidating aura he’d exuded during their first meeting now seemed somewhat diminished.
“I suppose I’ve grown so accustomed to hearing about you from Lady Ivenel that I’ve come to feel rather familiar with you without even realizing it. That’s why I spoke so freely just now.”
As they continued talking, they soon arrived at the palace gates.
“Thank you for accompanying me this far.”
Since they’d reached their destination, Demil was about to turn back when he heard Lia’s voice behind him.
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.”
