Men of the Harem (137 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 448
La Til unconsciously scribbled meaningless words onto the paper—words that gave the appearance of working.
Taxes, tax rates, Milo, the envoy delegation, trade, ports, New Year’s Festival, birthdays, and so on. She was practically writing everything down as her consciousness drifted aimlessly.
After doing this for a while, La Til stared past the black inkwell toward Sarnet’s silhouette. But it was nearly invisible, so it was useless.
La Til kept biting her lip and turned to the next page of paper.
As she heard the rustle of the turning page, she suddenly recalled the time Sarnet had awkwardly emerged from the restroom without any spare clothes to change into.
La Til’s face flushed hotly. How could she have laughed so heartlessly back then after seeing him like that?
She tapped her forehead a few times with her fist. Go away. Go away. Intrusive thoughts, begone. Begone.
All of La Til’s actions only drove Sarnet further into madness. Every time La Til moved, Sarnet’s eyes kept drifting toward the mark on her neck, worried it might become visible.
To avoid looking, he consciously tried to focus elsewhere—but since La Til kept fidgeting, his eyes inevitably followed her movements.
Eventually, Sarnet simply lowered his head and stared fixedly at the tassels on his own shoes. After enduring like that for a couple of hours, he immediately slipped out into the corridor the moment his guard shift ended.
“Captain, will you be joining us for dinner later?”
As he stepped into the corridor, the guard coming on duty asked cheerfully while fastening his uniform buttons.
Sarnet had completely forgotten it was dinner night, and only now let out a belated sigh: “Ah…”
But he had absolutely no desire to go. Instead of agreeing, he checked his watch pointlessly and muttered,
“No. I’ll be leaving early today. My fiancée is waiting for me.”
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!
