Received the Obsession of a Chaste Dark Lord (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
After catching up on a few hours of insufficient sleep, Leo and I stepped back out onto the streets.
Nightfall had already settled over the lanes, the daylight long gone.
We decided to take only the bare minimum of attendants and return after a simple dinner.
Though I thought nothing could possibly happen over just one meal, the decision had been made because most of the knights were stationed at Waince Castle.
Still, since it was Leopric himself accompanying me, I felt it would be fine.
After all, he was a renowned swordsman—so skilled, it was said, that he required no additional escort when traveling alone.
Of course, that was merely from my memories before the regression.
I had never actually seen him wield a sword, so I had no true sense of his ability.
Whenever we traveled together, he was always surrounded by a large guard detail, and I had never once seen him draw the sword at his waist—presumably ceremonial.
All I knew was what Betty had overheard: that he was a fairly capable swordsman.
I followed him without any tension, heading toward the restaurant closest to our lodging.
“Are you truly certain it’s safe? Perhaps we should wait a little longer before moving?”
But unlike me, Leopric had worn an uneasy expression the entire time, continually asking questions.
Would it really be alright without any escort? Was it acceptable to bring only Betty as our attendant? Would it be fine if the others sent on errands hadn’t returned?
My casual plan to quickly eat and return seemed recklessly careless to him.

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!
