Love You, Love You Not (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 048
After leaving Evan Bacher, Iriel even went so far as to wear a plaster cast on her leg, fearing Casar might suspect something.
Ever since the peace treaty with the Teshia Empire was signed, she expected Casar to visit her at any moment, so every time she left the manor, she limped convincingly and tearfully accepted the support of her attendants.
But contrary to Iriel’s expectations, it was Attila who came to see her first.
“I greet the Sun of the Empire.”
Iriel, staying at the Earlster manor where spring had fully arrived, donned a soft yellow dress and went out with her father to greet Emperor Attila.
Count Agnoman, thrilled that the Emperor himself had deigned to visit his domain, monopolized the conversation with lengthy anecdotes about matters the Emperor clearly had no interest in.
“I sponsored some construction recently, and despite the war, laborers were so abundant. We even managed to deliver news of victory—surely this is all thanks to Your Imperial Majesty’s benevolence!”
“Is that so? I was wondering why the garden looked so splendid—so you’ve been renovating it recently.”
Sipping from his teacup adorned with flower petals, Attila gave polite but minimal responses, but when Count Agnoman’s chatter stretched past an hour, he politely requested some time alone with Iriel.
The Count still didn’t know that Emperor Attila had proposed to his daughter, yet he wasn’t so bold as to refuse the Emperor’s request with some outdated remark about chaperones.
Perhaps it was simply because he himself held liberal views regarding relationships.
Once alone, Iriel and Attila remained silent for a while.
This was not a conversation that could happen with attendants present; only the two of them stood in the garden. Iriel, who had drawn Attila into her reckless scheme, spoke first.
“I was waiting since you never replied—I didn’t expect you’d come in person.”
“It didn’t seem right to put this in writing, and I couldn’t very well send my captain of the guard. To properly align myself with your plan, I even had to request sick leave.”
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.
