Love Me Just Once (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 223
On a bright moonlit night, Anika raised both hands toward the woman holding a knife to her throat.
“Hey, whatever this is, can we at least talk it out…?”
The woman, dressed as a member of a notorious bandit gang from the area, coldly replied,
“No. We won’t be talking.”
At that firm reply, Anika swallowed hard. Hmm, I see—so no talking… She could almost hear Sianna’s horrified gasp in her ear.
‘Th-th-that’s exactly why I told you to send someone else!’
Though her flushed, soft cheeks and shouting weren’t particularly threatening, one shouldn’t underestimate her—Sianna held grudges for a very long time.
Even Daheel and her mother sided with Sianna whenever she got upset, always insisting Anika was unquestionably at fault.
Ever since Anika had unavoidably broken a promise due to work recently, she’d learned this lesson well. Thus, she tried as much as possible not to upset her housemate…
But Sianna, this time it really couldn’t be helped… Holding back tears, Anika silently cried out an excuse that wouldn’t reach her. This time, she truly was innocent—there had been good reasons.
Not long ago, the Queen Consort had come to the Rohos domain, accompanied by a knight of Chesa origin.
Anika had been completely unaware the Queen was even in the south, so she was greatly surprised. She was even more startled when the Queen mentioned a floral tea circulated only in the south, and even more so upon learning that the mastermind behind the poisoning wasn’t Crown Prince Orienn but the Second Prince.
Yet neither the sudden visit nor the newly revealed truth compared to the Queen’s utterly bewildering request.
“I’d like to borrow your troops.”
The request itself wasn’t problematic. All Aglante’s lords had sworn loyalty to the royal family, and with most elder noble lines now extinct, no one could oppose royal conscription.

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!
