“I stumbled because I was dizzy from the sun.”
Latil tilted her head and frowned. Did he stumble? It was hard to believe.
Even a monkey falls from a tree, it does not mean that a Prime Minister can’t trip on the stairs.
But it was hard to believe that a person like the Prime Minister, who has undergone repeated training, was so seriously injured by stumbling.
Even if you jumped off the window from the second or third floor, you would not be seriously injured, but if you were pushed by someone, you could get seriously injured even if the height was low. That was the principle.
Latil was certain that the Prime Minister was so seriously injured rolling down the stairs because someone must have pushed him.
However, when he spoke like that, she couldn’t contradict him and say that couldn’t have happened.
“Are you sure?”
She just asked once more.
“Yes.”
But as the Prime Minister did not change his word, Latil nodded reluctantly.
“Well, be careful from now on. I was quite surprised.”
Of course, she did not really believe his words.
[This is the time separator]It was not just Latil who didn’t believe the Prime Minister’s words.
On his way back after confirming that the Prime Minister was awake, Tasir stealthily approached Guesta from behind and asked.
“Pure Lord. Was it your doing?”
When Guesta frowned and looked at him, Tasir pointed to the last concubine’s room with his finger. He was directly asking Guesta if he was the one who had provoked Zaicin.
“Why would I?”
The question could be a quarrel, but Guesta calmly replied without being swept away at all.
“But if someone pushes you next time, Tasir, think that it was me.”
However, there was honest irritation in the words that followed, so Tasir laughed and put his arm around Guesta’s shoulder.
“The pure Lord is cute enough even if he doesn’t act grumpy.”
He seemed to be intentionally trying to irritate Guesta.
“Who asked you to find me cute?”
When Guesta asked back, dumbfounded, Tasir grinned.
“Aren’t you trying to be attractive by not being too pure?”
Just as Guesta was about to say something in response to the absurd remark, he heard someone approaching and closed his mouth.
The person who appeared was Klein.
“You two go well together.”
Tasir was looking forward to a fight between Klein and Guesta, his eyes glowing with anticipation, but Klein, who spoke arrogantly, just giggled.
And before Guesta could retort, he sweetly voiced a sincere malice with a gentle voice.
“You two should hold hands and leave the harem. Maybe next time when you get pushed and your neck gets broken, it will be you two.”
However, Klein soon frowned at Tasir. Thanks to the rumor spread by Tasir’s subordinate, he recalled that Tasir had spoken ill of Klein to Latil.
In the end, he hesitated and raised his chin even higher and changed his words.
“Come here, Tasir. Then your neck won’t break. Come with me.”
Originally, Tasir was following Guesta around on his own accord, the two were not in a group.
But when Klein spoke as if he was taking sides, Guesta felt needlessly offended and frowned. It felt like if Tasir went over there, he would be backstabbed for just being still.
Guesta then looked at Tasir with rabbitlike eyes and murmured.
“Weren’t you talking to me, Tasir……?”
This situation was just funny for Tasir, so he laughed and looked back and forth between Guesta and Klein and suggested.
“Then, shall the three of us hang out?”
He then put one arm on Klein and the other on Guesta, and the two of them almost simultaneously screwed up their faces.
Guesta was rather quick in managing his expression, but Klein’s face was so pissed off that it was indistinguishable from an angry Persian cat.
But since their faces were not visible from behind, Latil, who came out of the Prime Minister’s room late, admired this sight.
“It seems that those three are surprisingly close.”
“Really?” Sonnaught tilted his head, but he was not particularly interested in whether the three of them were quarreling or getting along, so he simply agreed with Latil’s words.
“Prince Klein and Guesta were fighting all the time. It seems they became fond of each other through their disputes.”
“That’s what I’m saying.”
After thinking for a moment, Sonnaught suggested, subtly turning his body to the side to guide Latil in a different direction.
“We shouldn’t interrupt them when they’re just starting to get along. Let’s go this way, Your Majesty.”
[This is the time separator]Late at night.
After finishing the postponed work, Latil quietly visited the harem to check the condition of the Regent.
“Your Majesty.”
The guard stationed at the Regent’s room was startled when Latil arrived without a word and tried to announce Latil’s visit to the inside.
“It’s fine.”
But Latil, thinking that the Regent would be sleeping, shook his head and stopped the guard. Then he quietly opened the door and entered, and the sounds of opening the door and footsteps echoed quietly in the room where only the sounds of insects and birds could be heard.
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.
