Contract Marriage with the Devil Duke (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 98
They knew well that the twins were very interested in the new world and quite eccentric.
But they never dreamed that upon seeing Lilith suddenly appear, the twins would hesitate over revising the contract and declare their intention to stay at the Grand Duke’s castle. Was it truly safe to leave such reckless individuals in the same space as Lilith? After much deliberation, Orentia concluded she still needed their abilities for now and nodded her head.
“Yes, alright. I’d appreciate it if you’d consider revising the contract.”
When the twin brothers exchanged glances and grinned at each other, Orentia immediately added a warning.
“But if you cause any disturbance within the Grand Duke’s castle, I’ll throw you out immediately. Even if you happen to meet His Grace’s mother, you must behave with proper decorum.”
Would these individuals, brimming with curiosity toward a supreme demon, even understand what “proper decorum” meant?
She felt slightly uneasy, but this was the best course of action. Until they found the Daemon bracelet, they could be attacked by evil spirits or demons at any time, anywhere. Having the twin brothers nearby would be helpful.
The twin brothers left Orentia’s room with beaming smiles. Technically, this was a matter she should have discussed with Dimidius first, but he was probably overwhelmed just thinking about Lilith. Indeed, Dimidius had holed himself up in his office since early morning and hadn’t come out.
Orentia let out an involuntary sigh.
“Sigh… I really need to find that Daemon bracelet soon.”
The word “Daemon,” which she was certain she’d heard somewhere before, remained frustratingly vague.

When night fell, Orentia decided she should see Dimidius once more and went to his room. She felt she ought to stay by his side tonight. She also simply missed him.
Wondering if he might still be in his office, she opened the door—and there he was. Dimidius sat at the table, lost in deep thought. At first glance, his expression seemed blank, but his eyes betrayed a storm of emotions.
Seeing Orentia enter, Dimidius abruptly stood up.

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.
