My Discarded Fiancé Returned (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 98
The next day, a small worry arose in the otherwise peaceful Empress’s quarters. Empress Adelaine briefly entrusted the whining Luana, who had been sulking since earlier, to a maid and returned to reading the letter once more.
“Goodness… why must my children be so high-maintenance?”
Luana was still young, so that was understandable, but the grown Lucas continually put Adelaine in difficult situations.
“Honestly, once you give in, there’s no end to it.”
First, he’d recklessly set off on a wandering journey; then he’d forced a marriage through on his own terms; eventually, he’d even resorted to abduction and running away—and now he was asking her to deliver his message on his behalf.
“Have the Imperial Princess brought to her chambers and put down for a nap.”
“Yes.”
Isabelle called over the nursemaid, handed over the fussy Luana, and then looked at Adelaine, who let out a sigh.
“What troubles you so?”
“I thought that since Lucas has grown up and even married, I’d finally raised them all—but the problem is he still acts like Luana.”
In Adelaine’s eyes, no matter how grown her children became, they were still just children. However, Isabelle, recalling the already fiercely mature Crown Prince, gave a slightly puzzled smile.
That the Crown Prince could possibly resemble the still-sulking Luana was something only a parent could say.
“Still, thanks to Your Imperial Majesty’s instructions, the official tour for Their Imperial Highnesses was arranged quite smoothly, was it not?”
Lucas had caused quite a commotion—leaving behind words that were nearly an ultimatum, mounting his wife on horseback, and fleeing the capital together.
It was all Adelaine who had sent the Crown Prince’s official procession and carriage to Astel to clean up the aftermath and who had placated the furious Emperor.

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.
