When she deliberately lowered her voice and spoke coldly, the corners of Hayden’s eyes twitched. It was a very strange sight for him, who was best suited to dominate from a high place with power and strength, to sit on the floor and cling to a cursed and tattered woman. It was something that shouldn’t happen.
“Lugh.”
At the call that simply called her name, the strength that had risen in the green eyes sagged sadly. It’s Hayden who’s weakened. He knows too well how she shakes and trembles.
“Your Majesty, please don’t do this, please.”
“What’s bothering you? Who said what to you?”
“It’s not that.”
“But why don’t you react even when you see me undressed? Oh, should I have taken off my pants instead of the shirt?”
Eyes that had quickly become pretty squinted and he immediately touched the pants buckle. Lugh eventually closed her eyes tightly. She closed her eyes tightly and did something really terrible.
“Aaah, it hurts. It hurts, Lugh. I’m in pain.”
Like when he was a young soldier, Hayden, who had been dragged away as if his soul had left his body, exaggeratedly complained that he was in pain. He knows that nothing hurts. How painful it must be for a woman bound by a vile curse to be pulled. Just being dragged is enough.
“Speak, please listen! Please!”
“I’m listening well. From the front of the barrier until now, Lugh has faithfully kept her word.”
“You’re not listening to me at all right now.”
“I don’t listen to insincere words.”
“You’re just filtering what you want to hear. I’ve always been sincere.”
What sincerity? Hayden laughed inwardly. If Lugh truly disliked it, she would have slapped his cheek and kicked him in the stomach long ago. Or she would have stared at him with an expression as cold as an insect, saying, “I’m disgusted by clingy behavior.”
It hasn’t happened yet. Yes, it hasn’t happened yet. But Hayden was very anxious.
He would push her away at this rate. One day, she would say, “I really dislike it,” and genuinely push him away with a cold expression. Then he would have no choice but to be pushed away. And then he probably couldn’t bear it.
“What do you not like about me? Tell me. I’ll fix everything.”
She was always warm-hearted and weak in affection. Even if she pushed him away while looking at him pitifully, she would comfort him and ask for forgiveness.
“It’s not that Your Majesty is lacking, it’s me…”
“I don’t want to hear that you are lacking. That’s not true.”
Hayden spoke seriously, cutting off his words. His gray eyes narrowed and gleamed faintly.
“I was the one lacking. I had nothing and was weak. Do you remember how miserable and pathetic I was?”
Pathetic, huh? Lugh reflexively said.
“No, you weren’t pathetic.”
“No, I was.”
Shaking his head, Hayden couldn’t hold back his laughter and bowed his head. Lugh looked at him as if he were a strange person.
“Why are you laughing, no, why are you laughing?”
“Because you’re speaking informally. Keep calling me as you used to.”
Lugh now looked at him as if he were insane, speaking with an expression of ecstasy.
“Sure, keep looking at me like that. It would be even better if you hit me and asked where the ‘yo’ went.”
“Please, get a hold of yourself.”
“I’m perfectly sane right now. I’ve always been like this.”
He laughed. The laughter seemed bright at first, but at the end, a sense of melancholy spread.
“I’ve always waited like this, please, Lugh.”
Hayden ran his fingers across his clean and tidy forehead, shaking his head.
“Push me away, but don’t.”
What on earth am I saying?
Lugh lowered her head.
What on earth is she saying to go this far?
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.
