Didn't Plan to Become a Companion (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 123
For a moment, I was frightened by the emperor’s sharp eyes, but I steeled myself, straightened my back, and stood firmly in place.
“Do you even realize how arrogant your words are right now? Yes, I’ll admit you’re quite brave. But even so—to think my son and Rochester’s Adept turned back time just to save someone as insignificant as you… I can hardly believe it even as I witness it.”
So the emperor truly knew everything all along. As this realization struck me, his words continued.
“I am the emperor who bears the name of the First Emperor. A millennium-long prophecy? I don’t know anything about that.”
To travel from Resotia into the Dermayer Empire, one had to pass a sheer cliff so towering that even craning one’s neck upward revealed no end to it.
Since ancient times, the people of Resotia had regarded this cliff as sacred, carving into its surface hundreds of temples, burial sites, and the faces of gods.
It was precisely at the foot of this cliff that the First Emperor, Wesley Schneider, received the millennium prophecy. Yet this remained nothing more than legend.
Hearing such ethereal words spoken plainly by the emperor sent an involuntary chill through my entire body. As I wondered why he would say such things, the emperor rose from his seat and strode toward us with heavy steps.
“If you had disobeyed my command and failed to appear here, I would have extinguished House Serghen. No matter how chosen you claim to be by the Empress’s prophecy, everyone under my command must obey without exception.”
“…….”
“For I am the emperor who rules the greatest expanse of land in Dermayer’s history.”
As he spoke, the emperor never ceased his advance toward the Duchess. The emotion in his eyes, seen up close, was unmistakably inferiority—unbelievable as it seemed.
Though the current emperor was the undisputed conqueror of the largest territory in Dermayer’s history, it was built entirely upon Ricardo’s accomplishments.
He himself understood this better than anyone else.
Seeing the emperor’s distorted gaze, I braced myself even more firmly to prevent him from approaching the Duchess any closer.

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.
