In the Midst of Revenge on Cinderella (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
I was burning with the urge to go our separate ways right then and there, but seeing Matthias’s sparkling eyes, I knew it was too late to back out now.
“Well, a Guild Master probably wouldn’t be idly hanging around a bookstore anyway.”
Besides, he also held the additional role of royal attendant, so he must be terribly busy—though that red-haired clerk was still around, apparently.
I followed Matthias, who claimed to know the Lalria fabric shop, and finally found the place I’d been searching for—only to let out a bitter laugh. It was somewhere I’d passed by countless times already.
“Damn it! Hidden away in this alley corner like this, no ordinary person would ever find it!”
Matthias, staring at the shop that didn’t even have a signboard, spoke up.
“Her Highness Floria clearly has excellent taste. Lalria’s lace is said to be so exquisite and beautiful that it’s renowned even abroad.”
“Is that so?”
During our walk to the fabric shop, I hadn’t had much to say, and just in case I later asked about magic and raised suspicion, I’d kept praising Floria. Now Matthias seemed convinced I adored her deeply.
Seeing his obvious assumption that complimenting Floria would please me, I simply gave him a faint smile.
“Yes, and though it’s hard to obtain, if it’s for Her Highness Floria’s wedding dress, I’m sure Madam will find some way to help.”
Matthias wasn’t exaggerating about its scarcity. In fact, Matilda had already received her pre-ordered lace, having taken him into consideration well in advance.
“We delivered it to the palace three days ago—didn’t you receive it?”
The clerk at Lalria Fabric Shop even produced a confirmation slip bearing the maid’s signature.
‘These people.’
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.
