I Held the Leash of a Blind Beast (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 97
“Please help me, Your Majesty. I must have that woman.”
Sabiel’s obsession was violence, and he had long since crossed the line.
Seraphina was not unaware that he had once captured Elicia aboard the Siren and then let her slip away—the ship meant to imprison Rev had been hers, after all.
Yet in Seraphina’s eyes, Sabiel appeared merely as a man whose pride had been wounded and heart broken by rejection.
The fault lay with that woman who had dared refuse the Crown Prince’s noble regard and acted so haughtily in the first place.
She offered no closeness, wearing an impassive face as though she had withdrawn from the mortal world to dwell beneath the gods’ feet or at the edge of the heavens—wasn’t that precisely why Sabiel burned with desperation and acted this way?
There had been a time when Seraphina herself had admired Elicia, moved by the priestess’s gaze that seemed detached from the world—but now, as if forgetting that time entirely, she stood firmly on Sabiel’s side, filled with indignation.
After leaving Sabiel behind and returning to the Empress’s quarters, Seraphina poured herself a small cup of strong liquor and downed it in one gulp.
As the warmth spread through her veins, her churning stomach and mind cooled into icy composure.
Ever since Sabiel had ascended to the position of Crown Prince, Empress Seraphina had addressed him with formal respect, despite being mother and son.
After all, one must be treated with dignity within the family to be revered outside it.
“Sabiel. They are ruining my son.”
Illeon and Elicia.
The new nobility, to which House Harrington belonged, supported Sabiel. They had no need to bind him through marriage—which was precisely why Seraphina had ignored the subtle overture from the Earl and Countess of Harrington, who had hinted at desiring such a union.
The real problem lay with the old nobles who insisted on deposing Sabiel and raising Illeon of Oder as the next Emperor.

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.”
