Further down, the reply to the letter and the newly beginning story of Chloe were contained.
At the end, she subtly asked for Kain’s information. Was she really thinking he would tell her? It was naive, and also reckless.
「Can I expect a reply? No, I’ll wait.」
The final farewell, unlike the lively beginning of the letter, felt somewhat tense.
The woman who did not cherish her relationship with Kain is now welcoming it.
The reversal of superiority was sweet for a moment. Suddenly, Kain’s emotions rapidly boiled.
‘I shouldn’t give my affection so easily.’
She, who had become blunt after many relationships, was surprisingly weak for affection.
Wouldn’t she give her heart this easily to someone else too?
Wouldn’t she use this cute tone even to those ratlike guys?
His discomfort began from such trivial worries.
“Dylan.”
Negative emotions that he thought would disappear quickly pursued Kain for a long time.
He finally called his dedicated problemsolver.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Dylan responded promptly to the solemn call of his lord. To be honest, he was a bit tense as well.
“Why would someone who was wary of me suddenly show affection?”
“Yes?”
“When she didn’t cherish me before, now she needs me.”
Dylan was confused.
If he had asked after reading the letter, wouldn’t it have been a question related to the letter?
But that question didn’t seem to have anything to do with diplomatic issues.
“Uh……. Perhaps she’s someone who trusts people well.”
Dylan answered since he had to in any case.
His lord’s face twisted at the ordinary answer. It seemed that his earlier response was different from what he wanted.
Dylan quickly corrected it in surprise.
“……I’ll correct myself. She may not have been at first, but now she has no choice but to trust Your Majesty.”
“Me?”
“Yes. Once she realized Your Majesty’s true worth, letting go of you would be her loss. Not just materially, but emotionally as well.”
Having quickly come up with a graceful answer, Dylan tensed again. Was this the answer that satisfied him this time?
Soon Kain’s head nodded. The satisfied expression was expressing that the answer was satisfactory.
He wanted to hear that she was attracted because of his good traits. He had been waiting for Dylan to say the already predetermined answer.
“Why worry about such things. Regardless of the truth or what others think, the situation will flow as Your Majesty wishes anyway.”
Half in flattery to avoid a possibly pointless question from Kain and half in sincerity, Dylan put the finishing touch.
Whatever the trouble, Kain will get what he wants. If it is something difficult to obtain, all the more meticulously and skillfully.
A person who gets everything he wants. A person who has succeeded in every grand plan.
An already brilliant man in a brilliant position stood at the top of the world.
What could such a man not achieve?
‘Ah, right. He did fail in the war.’
Dylan, who had been inwardly worshiping Kain, suddenly came to his senses.
There was, after all, the war with the Balront Kingdom, which had ended emptily, even to the extent of being a mistake on the man’s part.
Kun’s sole remaining achievement among his remarkable deeds. Although it was not his doing, Dylan suddenly felt wronged.
“…But Your Majesty, may I ask just one thing this time? Why did you abandon the Balront Kingdom?”
At that moment, the finger that was tapping the table stopped in midair. Kun’s gaze, which had been on the letter, reached Dylan.
Oops.
Dylan, who had met the cold red eyes, broke out in a cold sweat.
To brazenly display such an impertinent question.
Even I, who had watched over Kun’s side for a long time, wouldn’t have survived that behavior. Dylan was tightly on edge, wondering what punishment would come for his transgression.
“I never gave up.”
Contrary to what he thought, Kun answered calmly. Dylan was suddenly afraid of the unexpected kindness.
What if His Majesty was offended?
“It’s just that the target has changed.”
“What do you mean…”
“I’ve never failed to get what I want. No matter how much time and effort it takes, the target eventually comes into my hands.”
“…”
“It’s the same this time, Dylan.”
A gentle voice contrasted with an oppressive atmosphere.
‘I really don’t know what he’s talking about.’
He wanted to ask again, but it seemed like he would really get scolded if he did.
In the end, he shut up.
“Dylan.”
Afterwards, Kun called to Dylan, who was standing in a daze.
“…Yes. Yes.”
“Parchment.”
At Kun’s command to bring the parchment, Dylan agreed and left the room.
‘But what parchment all of a sudden?’
Dylan, who was slowly heading towards the storeroom, suddenly became curious.
A man who said there was no courtesy to be shown to those inferior to him and who would scribble replies on any piece of paper – why was he looking for parchment?
Who on earth had sent the letter?
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.
