I Didn't Really Want to Do Farming! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 172
“We should’ve sent Beatrice from the start. Then we wouldn’t have had all this trouble.”
The “trouble” Eliza referred to was having to create a bloodline scroll—an honor utterly unworthy of that lowly girl—and throwing her a birthday party.
Moreover, since Beatrice now had to be sent, it also meant Stella would have to be brought back again.
‘Should I just kill her?’
It was obvious things would become troublesome if she were brought back, so quietly eliminating her without anyone noticing seemed like a perfectly reasonable option.
If Stella were still alive when Beatrice became Empress of the Credion Empire, there would be no successor left for Amalune, and thus the opportunity would fall to that lowly girl.
Eliza absolutely could not tolerate the thought of a concubine’s daughter ascending the throne.
‘I’d rather adopt an heir.’
Eliza was already ecstatic, acting as though Beatrice had already become Empress. But King Philip couldn’t simply share her joy.
No matter how he thought about it, there was no reason for the Emperor of the mighty Credion Empire to take as Empress the princess of a small, insignificant nation like Amalune.
Royal marriages were never decided by one person’s feelings or whims alone.
Depending on whom one married, the fate of entire nations could be determined—sometimes bringing economic prosperity through alliances, other times plunging countries into devastating wars that threatened their very survival.
Thus, marriages were always carefully weighed to determine whether they would benefit or harm the nation before proceeding.
Moreover, Amalune was the smallest among the seven neighboring countries. It was possible that even a minor territory on the outskirts of the Credion Empire was comparable in size to the entire kingdom of Amalune.
Perhaps for this reason, King Philip of Amalune had never received any marriage-related communication from the Credion Empire until now.

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.”
