He Who Covets the Abandoned Bride (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 143
Even Adrian knew that, no matter how confident he was, it was far too impolite to claim he would take another nation’s land should it fall.
Yet Adrian, who had even gone so far as to retort “And what if I do?”, now waited for the King of Fitzroy’s response.
Staring intently into Adrian’s eyes, the king exhaled sharply after a moment and spoke.
“It seems you didn’t come here merely to decide Filmer’s fate. You appear to have other intentions—what are they?”
In truth, this was an entirely reasonable deduction. Feeling that conversation could finally begin in earnest, Adrian offered a faint, knowing smile.
“Fitzroy and Harkin are rivals—a fact well known even to neighboring states. Yet I believe Your Majesty does not truly desire a direct confrontation with Harkin. Am I correct?”
“Your prelude is unusually lengthy.”
Though the King of Fitzroy did not explicitly agree with Adrian’s words, he urged him forward in his own way.
Adrian faintly sensed he had gained control of the conversation.
And the King of Fitzroy clearly found this situation most uncomfortable—yet he wouldn’t end their talk just yet.
If he had truly intended to send Adrian away, he never would have allowed him to stay in Fitzroy territory for three whole days.
This meant the King of Fitzroy was closely watching Filmer’s situation and had no intention of letting it fall into Harkin’s hands.
He’d already realized that, left untouched, Filmer would inevitably slip into Harkin’s grasp.
Now, it was the King of Fitzroy who was in a hurry—not Adrian.
Despite the king’s impatience, Adrian spoke calmly, leaning back against the sofa.

An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
