Madam and the Stable Keeper (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 98
[Mistress and Stablehand: Former Viscountess Portrion and Viscount Lexion]
Edith, lounging on a plush couch near the fireplace, read yet another newspaper with nearly identical content for several days straight.
People were far more excited by the fact that Viscount Lexion had shown persistent interest in a certain lady than by his victory over Count Gerturk’s knight in the tournament.
Of course, news that poison had been mixed into Walter’s rations—and that this poison matched the kind used by Gerturk’s assassins—had also caused a significant uproar.
Yet many viewed his triumph in the tournament despite having ingested poison as the perfect romantic seasoning.
Since newspapers couldn’t just keep repeating that he’d kissed a lady’s hand for an unusually long time, they began crafting even more sensational headlines.
“‘Viscount Lexion’s taste in women leans toward beautiful married ladies.’ Hmm…”
Walter, standing behind the couch and reading the same paper, stared intently at Edith’s face as if admiring a work of art, then chuckled softly.
“Not exactly wrong.”
“Walter.”
Edith shot him a sideways glance. Although her physicians insisted he was fine, he’d vomited blood—she’d wanted him to rest—but instead, Walter refused to go out under the pretense of taking it easy, choosing to stick close to her side.
Truthfully, Walter was even enjoying the situation. The more provocative the headlines the journalists churned out, the more people in the capital would read and reread stories linking him and Edith as an unusually entangled pair.
By now, several days after the tournament had ended, even a six-year-old child likely knew about his kiss on Edith’s hand.
It was clearly abnormal that he couldn’t stop smiling at the thought of having officially become Edith’s lover, regardless of how much his reputation might suffer.
Across from him, Franz finally spoke up.

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!
