How To Choose A Knight (28 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 23
Jade frowned slightly. Light in the water, indeed.
Nina, who had been smoothing her blunt fingertips, cautiously continued.
“I once saw a letter inside a glass bottle that drifted in with the current… so I thought it was something like that.”
“Nina, didn’t I tell you the lake is dangerous!”
Pavel barked, and Nina sulkily hugged her cloth doll tightly. Jade quickly interjected.
“Pavel, Nina’s still young. It’s an age when curiosity runs strongest. She’s probably reflecting on it herself.”
“This forest isn’t a place that shows understanding for such things.”
“It must be terribly hard for a child, then.”
At that, Pavel’s head drooped.
“If only we’d stayed… in the city…”
“Even if this hadn’t happened, it would’ve been a place prone to other troubles. Don’t blame yourself.”
Axel looked at Jade with an expression of surprise at her gentle words—so unlike the stubborn girl who’d insisted on holding the reins herself.
Noticing his gaze, Jade cleared her throat.
She’d developed this skill out of necessity—leading mages and knights whose morals had long since collapsed required the ability to speak this way. Though she acted freely in the forest, she couldn’t afford to do so outside it.
She swiftly gestured for Nina to continue. Nina, glancing at Pavel, went on.
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…
