Changing the Keywords of the Dark Lords (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 123
The wind rustled over the hill. Amidst the silence, where only the whisper of the breeze could be heard, someone appeared atop the hill.
“…….”
The woman, wearing her hat pulled low, gazed wordlessly at the scenery from the hilltop. Her hair fluttered in the wind. When another strong gust blew, she removed her hat, revealing her face. It was Celine.
Her hair, hidden beneath a plain dress and hat, was no longer black. A brown bob swayed gently on her shoulders. Soon, a man approached her side.
“Sightseeing?”
“…….”
“Honestly, the view really is impressive from up here.”
With those words, the man lowered his hood. It was Theodor. Celine glanced at him briefly without a word, then turned her eyes back toward the horizon. Yet Theodor smiled faintly at the corner of his lips, as if that alone was enough. The two stood in silence for a long while.
“……Why did you follow me all the way here?”
Celine finally broke her silence.
“Don’t you understand my situation? I’ve had to hide my identity and name—I’ll live here for the rest of my life. I can’t go anywhere. I can never set foot in your homeland, the capital, again.”
“You were never supposed to go to the capital anyway.”
“…….”
“And I’m in the same position—hiding my name and status too.”
Following the execution of Grand Duchess Celine, news of Crown Prince Theodor’s death spread throughout the empire. Only a few knew the truth. The place where Celine and Theodor now stood was a quiet rural village at the very edge of the empire.
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.
