Duke, This Will Sting for a Moment (30 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 47
The road to Colina Rosa was peaceful.
At least, it appeared so on the surface.
Captain Leo had assigned knights to guard the carriage procession—front, back, and sides—in numbers so excessive it bordered on overkill, all for the safety of the Grand Duke and his wife.
Yet, aside from the citizens who enthusiastically waved and cheered from every village entrance to welcome the newlywed ducal couple, there had not been a single attempted ambush by assassins—the very threat Leo had worried about.
Only in the very center of the procession,
inside the Grand Duke’s carriage and the one following right behind it, did a fierce storm rage within the hearts of the newlywed man and woman.
“Your Highness Darling. Aren’t you happy at all that Dilaila has come?”
Shabelle brought her hands together like a blooming flower beneath her pretty face, held them close to Frost’s face, and fluttered her thick, dark eyebrows like butterfly wings.
“Is it because Dilaila isn’t as pretty as Shabelle? Should I ask the Lord of the Magic Tower to switch me back to Shabelle?”
Frost, who had been leaning back in his seat with arms crossed and eyes closed, pushed Shabelle’s forehead with his index finger, making her tumble backward.
“Let’s go quietly, Lewis.”
Lewis carefully brought his widely spread legs together and placed his hands neatly atop them.
Whenever Frost addressed him not as “Shabelle,” nor as “Your Highness,” but as “Lewis” in such a familiar tone, Lewis knew he had better snap to attention.
“Are you… very angry?”
Frost slowly opened his eyes.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
I love how she realized she loved him from the begining. But I die seeing him jealous of himself.
Awww
Kyaaaaa!!!!!! He took his decision!!!! He’ll try. He doesn’t know he won a long time ago.
