Second Male Lead, You Said It Was A Contract Marriage? (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 100
But Camileo did not know that Yezar had once loved Bertisha. Therefore, he probably failed to notice the awkwardness between Yezar and Bertisha.
Certainly that must have been the case—yet a single assumption flickered through my mind.
Could it be… that on the day I quarreled with Bertisha, our conversation was secretly relayed to Camileo?
‘If Camileo had learned of it, he wouldn’t be this quiet….’
Given his nature, if he were to act, he would have done so long ago—either confronting Yezar in a jealous rage, or raising his voice in anger at Bertisha for knowingly holding onto Yezar’s feelings.
Yet quite some time had passed since that summer. This silence was strange.
“What discomfort could there be in the Empress and me being in the same place? Camileo doesn’t even know anything happened between the Empress and me.”
“And if he did know…?”
“Then he would have questioned me about the truth by now. Camileo cannot forgive betrayal. Especially since he values the people close to him, he turns merciless the moment someone crosses that line.”
Yezar was implying the same thing—that if Camileo had known, he would have acted long ago.
“But the three of them were so close. I don’t understand why they’d deliberately exclude the Empress and speak only between themselves. Perhaps… the Emperor is simply waiting?”
“What do you mean by that, my lady?”
He asked, clearly puzzled. I revealed my suspicion to him.
“…The Empress is now with child. Could that be why the Emperor is delaying his confrontation? Even if he somehow overheard my conversation with the Empress and guessed what had happened, he wouldn’t be certain.”
Even if he had accidentally learned of that conversation, he might have only harbored suspicion without proof.
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!
