Don't Obsess Over A Married Woman (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 4
It was something I had anticipated to some extent, but Joseph’s (lack of a) plan quickly revealed its limits.
Actually, “quickly” wasn’t even the right word—it was immediate.
“…This is indeed a difficult situation. However, Your Majesty, even if you say so yourself, dresses and formal attire simply aren’t items that can be prepared so hastily.”
“But surely there must be some way? I came here trusting Madam Petrica, since she’s always helped me before.”
“Your Majesty, I appreciate your words, but the truth is… it isn’t even the social season right now, so we don’t have much fabric left in stock. Especially summer clothing—demand is so low that we usually only procure it after receiving an order.”
“So if we just get the fabric, that would be enough?”
“Even then, it’s unavoidable that production would take at least a month, especially since we currently have no tailors available—there’s simply a shortage of hands.”
“…”
“I believe every boutique in the Imperial Capital would tell you the same thing, Your Majesty. I apologize sincerely for being unable to assist you.”
It was exactly as she’d said.
After that, Joseph and I toured the boutiques along the Imperial Capital’s fashion district, searching desperately for any shop that could take an urgent order. But…
“As expected. Just as Madam Petrica said—it was impossible.”
“…Hmm.”
Thinking about it, it was only natural. Early June, being firmly outside the social season, meant almost no nobles remained in the Imperial Capital.
‘Most would stay at their own estates, or be invited to another noble’s estate for vacation.’
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.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
