That had caused a stir in the empire for a while. When it was announced that Rosebelia was joining the White Knight Order, even Herman and Olivia’s reactions were quite amusing.
“Are you all curious about monster subjugation? If you are known as a knight who has been on monster subjugation even once, people’s eyes change. Why do you think that is?”
“Because many people don’t come back alive.”
It wasn’t Derrick, scratching his forehead at Edwin’s words, or Jason, who had been glancing at my face for a while, but Ian, who had appeared out of nowhere.
Ian’s interruption was somewhat surprising. I thought he would just stand by like last time since it was someone else’s business.
“If you’re going to muddy the waters of the knight order, leave now.”
Edwin’s firm voice silenced the training ground.
“What you new recruits need to do is not petty dueling, but diligently attend classes and practice a little more. Even endless training here doesn’t mean you can go on monster subjugation. Only those who can survive with skill, not luck, can go.”
“But I heard some senior members go on subjugation every time…….”
Derrick’s gaze was fixed precisely on Edwin and me.
“That’s because we have outstanding skills.”
Edwin replied with a calm face.
“May I request a duel with you, senior?”
The hesitant question from Jason was directed at Edwin, not me.
All this time, I thought he would challenge me since he was glancing at me, but it was Edwin?
“Me?”
“Um… Rosebelia senior does not accept duels.”
Right, that’s how the rumor went. I did treat Ian specially.
“Rosebelia not accepting duels isn’t ignoring you, it’s showing mercy.”
At Edwin’s words, I glanced at Ian. Ian, too, was looking at me from somewhere, and our eyes met in midair.
What’s this, when did he start looking?
Trying to hide my disturbed expression, I caught Ian’s lips softly curling.
Is he smiling after startling his senior?
With one eyebrow twisted, Ian was seen discreetly covering his mouth as he looked.
“If you want to deal with Rose, you have to beat me first.”
I knew I was right. He seems like a good guy.
I missed a golden opportunity, but it’s not like I’ll never have a chance to meet Daisy in the future.
This time, I will definitely make your unrequited love come true, Edwin.
“What’s that?”
What Lucas’s hand pointed at was a man riding into the Knights’ entrance.
The stable isn’t on this side, is it?
“That cloak, isn’t it from the Guardian Knights?”
The murmur grew louder. The silverhaired handsome man, riding a white horse, came leisurely without being bothered by everyone’s attention.
A man with princelike visuals looked around and soon got off the horse.
Where the man’s toes were pointing…
Huh? Why does it seem like he’s coming toward me?
The man draped in a red cloak symbolizing the Guardian Knights came straight to me without any hesitation.
“Who are you….”
“We have met once before, but you don’t seem to remember.”
We’ve met before? But why does it feel like we’ve never met?
Was he not a person who left a strong impression in Rosebelia’s memory?
As I hesitated, the man took one step closer and spoke with a smile.
“My name is Rinart Elizer.”
“Rinart Elizer….”
If it’s the Elizer family, then it’s Daisy’s family, isn’t it?
Looking closely, his eye color was dark purple, just like Daisy’s.
Yes, Rinart Elizer.
Daisy’s older brother, the Deputy Commander of the Guardian Knights, and the next head of the Duke Elizer family.
He was considered the best groom in the original work, perhaps?
For a moment, recalling the original work, the noise grew louder. What came into view was Rinart, kneeling on one knee in front of me.
“Hey, wait….”
Then, before I knew what to do, Rinart kissed the back of my hand.
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.
