Interest Compounds on Revenge (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 148
As Terren had anticipated, Brassel Daily broke the exclusive story.
Lea couldn’t utter a single word while reading the article with Terren.
The article, saturated with sensational language, portrayed Salame as human garbage.
“It must be an article commissioned by Allen.”
Lea refused to believe the article. While it was true Salame had posed as a man, she was neither dissolute nor corrupt.
‘Who’s the real degenerate here!’
“I already knew that Princess Salame abandoned her identity as a woman after witnessing Emperor Teresa suffering terribly from smallpox and being deeply traumatized by it.”
Did she really want to pry into another nation’s imperial secrets? During the war with Wales, Emperor Karl himself had fought on the front lines.
While lying in ambush together during battle, they’d exchanged many conversations, and unintentionally, she’d learned the tragic family history of Teresa, Empress Vivian’s cousin.
Though she’d learned the secret, it held no interest for her, so she paid it little mind and never revealed it to anyone.
Now, however, the whole world knew.
Hearing Terren’s words, Lea felt she understood why Salame had made that decision.
Of course, only hearing it directly from Salame herself would make everything clear. Interpreting things arbitrarily was never right.
Just then, James arrived to see Terren.
“My Lord Duke, Marquis Valiere and his wife have come.”
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.

I don’t understand, if she is trying to save the twins, why is she putting a gun to her head? She needs to be alive for the twins to survive.
This is sounding less like a punishment and more like a privilege.
Sometimes this novel’s inability to reflect anything close to realism frustrates me. Let’s reward arson and attempted murder! (Can’t help but point out the lack of creativity with Mr. Baker’s name.)
