Madam and the Stable Keeper (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 73
Theos gave another clear answer.
“The quickest way is to consult the family of the person who suffered the magical rampage. They’d have researched it in anticipation of similar incidents recurring through bloodline. There might have been a similar case in a previous generation as well.”
“I see. The world of magic is fascinating.”
Edith replied calmly again, though her heart was troubled. If it’s for the child’s sake, should she perhaps bridge the gap with Lexion to some extent?
Just recalling the Duke’s demeanor and murderous intent toward her still chilled her to the bone and made every cell in her body shrink.
‘But the rumor that he treated those inheriting his bloodline cruelly doesn’t seem to be true.’
Madam Leah had always remembered her biological father as strict yet affectionate.
Thinking about it, even the Duke’s daughters hosting lavish parties according to their father’s wishes fit that impression.
If he’d subjected them to brutally harsh magical training enough to damage their emotional bonds, it seemed unlikely his grown daughters—who’d already married off—would willingly fulfill his request, considering the enormous effort required to prepare such grand banquets.
‘Should I ask Lexion directly?’
While Edith was lost in thought, Theos finished eating another meat pie she’d offered him.
Checking the clock, he realized their agreed-upon time had already passed. Theos handed her two magic stamps as a token of thanks for the meat pie.
“Thank you, Madam. If you ever need anything more, please feel free to find me anytime. Just tear this.”
“Wait.”
Edith brought over a small glass bottle of herbal oil and handed it to Theos.

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!
