Regret With All Your Might (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 123
The hour when the sunset turned crimson. The Grand Ducal Palace.
Servants who recognized Edwin opened the main gate of the palace. Hardly had he dismounted before Edwin rushed in, searching for Olivia first.
“The young lady is in the small dining room with Duke Elkin.”
A nearby servant immediately reported. As Edwin dashed toward the dining room, the knight’s voice echoed in his ears.
“I’m sorry, Your Grace. I only meant to confirm and report, since it concerned the young lady’s mother…!”
Duke Elkin had taken advantage of Edwin’s brief absence—just a quick trip to the entrance of Senua Valley—to request a private audience with Olivia.
And of all topics, Olivia’s mother. The perfect subject to lure her in. It was his own mistake.
He had said he’d return quickly, yet the distance from Senua Valley to the Grand Ducal Palace couldn’t be shortened.
Fortunately, the dining room door stood open, prepared for any sudden developments.
“I’m glad it suits your taste.”
Olivia’s cheerful voice drifted through the doorway. Instinctively, Edwin raised his index finger to his lips.
While servants held their breath, ready to announce the master’s return, Edwin stood by the door, listening to the conversation within.
“When we heard in the capital that Your Grace had arrived, our head chef prepared an elaborate banquet—but it’s such a shame you’re feeling unwell.”
“Even with a light meal, the chef’s skill is clearly evident. It’s truly delicious.”
Though Duke Elkin’s face wasn’t visible—he had his back to the door—the exchange was politely courteous.
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!
