I'll Be the Queen of the Enemy Country (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 122
Bennet snorted at Elise’s naive reaction.
‘Considering you rolled around with Karan and then sat in that spot.’
Bennet had been watching Elise from beneath the surface—and had even investigated her.
She knew, at the very least, how the two had met.
‘So you’ve come all this way over a single night’s reckless fling.’
Smoke billowed noisily from a fire lit as a joke, thoroughly souring Bennet’s mood.
“Either you say something, or I’ll get up first.”
Whether drowsy or not, Tylo rose, stumbled briefly, regained his balance, and vanished behind the curtain.
“I’ve had enough of your well-wishes.”
Karan sat up—just as Bennet took the spot Tylo had warmed.
“Don’t be so cold. Aren’t I your mother? And Elise’s mother-in-law, at that. Surely I’ve the right to offer a kind word to my son and daughter-in-law before they depart for danger.”
“Danger?”
“They say the gate is acting strangely. What else would you call it if not danger?”
“It’s not that you lack words—it’s that you wish it to be so, isn’t it?”
Karan’s tone sharpened. Elise grasped his hand as if to calm him, and instantly his breathing grew noticeably quieter.
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.”

When Elise left to fetch Wolfs's food, Karan demanded an explanation from Ilaria
I can’t get over her naming the wolf “Wolfs,” it seems strange every time I read it.
"Bora! Dori! Dobi! Nana! Boo!"
Is that a person’s name? It sounds like a fish’s name to me.
Iris was certain of victory. One spell from her would be enough to finish someon
“”She was an expert in offensive magic.” This is repeated so often in history that I’m starting to doubt it.
