Long Live the Emperor, Minus Me (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 103
The Grand Duke’s aide. Redilreon shut the door carefully and let out a silent sigh.
Beyond the thick, firmly closed door, he almost heard a phantom echo of laughter that couldn’t possibly reach him.
“How could His Grace be so content…?”
It was an emotional current utterly incomprehensible to an ordinary person.
Thus, Redilreon had always assumed the Grand Duke had liked Princess Blanche from the very beginning.
But until the attempted poisoning incident, the Grand Duke’s attitude—how should he put it?—had been ambiguous, unclear whether his feelings for the princess resembled innocent first love, affection for a pretty doll, or fondness for an obedient puppy.
Of course, Redilreon hadn’t found that strange at all.
It was common for privileged children, who could have anything they desired, to develop such odd ways of expressing affection in their youth.
Fortunately, the Grand Duke was unusually sensible for his age, and the princess knew her boundaries, so despite the Grand Duke’s peculiar affection, no problems ever arose.
Indeed, the Grand Duke’s eccentric favor had only enriched the princess’s life.
Ironically, it was only after Princess Blanche’s attempted poisoning that things became twisted.
At that time, the Grand Duke stayed constantly by the princess’s bedside. The fact that even that fastidious child could sleep in an adjacent cot said everything.
And then came a period of true upheaval.
If only he’d clung to her side as he had when she was bedridden—that would’ve been endearing enough—but instead, he locked himself in his own chambers, sighing alone, tearing at his hair, pacing restlessly around the room…
He was at just the right age for adolescence, so it wasn’t strange, yet his behavior certainly seemed unusually dramatic for a teenage phase.

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.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
