In This Life, I'll Assist You (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
“May I also go there?”
“Of course. You are my servant.”
The Grand Duke replied in a gentle tone.
The Imperial Palace… I’m going there?
A strange flutter—neither joy nor fear, but a curious anticipation. A peculiar sense of expectation.
“Why, do you dislike it?”
“No. I’ll go.”
“Officially, you’ll be attending as Arcadia’s aide. Though that isn’t quite true.”
The Grand Duke glanced at Arcadia.
Arcadia’s eyes widened as if hearing this for the first time, then, with a look of resignation, his emerald gaze returned to its usual state.
He must have overheard something. He wouldn’t stay so quiet otherwise.
Could I possibly be needed for a reason?
Is it… being used?
Regardless, my heart began to race at the thought of going to the Imperial Palace.
The Grand Duke’s steward and Lord Nugent’s aide.
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.
