My Husband's Cinderella (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 98
At a time when everyone was busy departing on expeditions, Kalis calmly guarded the barracks. Though one couldn’t afford even a moment’s rest to win the Hunting Festival, he had no choice—he faced something more urgent.
By the time the sound of hooves had completely vanished, Kalis stepped out of the barracks. He crept out stealthily and wandered through the Frihid Imperial Army’s encampment.
Though the location of the barracks themselves was known, the whereabouts of the person Kalis sought remained unknown; thus, today he had to find where Chloe was staying.
Kalis hid behind a barracks with a clear view of the central area and lay in wait. Noblewomen from Sahir often held tea times among themselves to stave off boredom, and the noblewomen of Frihid were no different.
True to expectation, noblewomen who had bid farewell to their loved ones began gathering, beautifully adorned.
They couldn’t wear elaborate gowns even inside the barracks, so they wore relatively simple everyday attire. Instead, they came adorned with jewelry on every finger and wrist—pieces that looked expensive at a glance.
Among them was even a noblewoman wearing no ordinary jewelry at all—and that was Chloe.
Spotting his target, Kalis quickly ducked down and then silently followed the noblewomen’s movements. Soon, they fluttered into a single barracks.
Their gathering only ended after the sky had grown so pitch-black that only brilliantly shining stars remained visible.
As night fell, the knights’ security tightened further. Each noblewoman had a dedicated knight stationed beside her—and Chloe was no exception.
Kalis followed Chloe with even greater caution. The darkness concealed his presence, offering him some reassurance.
Just before she entered the row of barracks stretching straight ahead, Kalis, who had been lying in wait the whole time, emerged and seized her.
With the scope now narrowed, locating her exact quarters was merely a matter of time; thus, conversation took priority over pinpointing her precise location right away.
His resolutely outstretched hand halted midair.
“What is it?”
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.

Really? A monster in the camp and she didn’t get dressed just in case something went wrong? Idiot.
She apparently can’t even dress herself nor defend, in any meaningful way, against her ex, so it makes sense that she’d be doubted.
Not even a cliff hanger.
