Shall I Save You, Duke? (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 123
Thud-.
Eugis closed the book he had been reading and rubbed his brow as if weary. Long ago, after the Permanence estate, Eugis had never again lingered by Lina’s side.
He merely received news from across the sea now and then.
Now, not even a speck of lingering attachment remained—because he had given everything he could offer, without reservation, for that one person.
Eugis swept his long golden hair, which reached down to his waist, behind his back and gazed out the window. In this southern land, one could not find the season called winter.
The sun blazed year-round as fiercely as midsummer in the Empire. That was why he had chosen this place—summer was better than that tiresome winter.
He had been staring out the window for quite some time when, accompanied by a knock, a man entered. It was his assistant, Heriot.
“Professor, the new assistant who’s supposed to start today has arrived.”
Today was the day a new assistant was to join his laboratory—a gesture of consideration from Eugis toward Heriot, who was overwhelmed with preparations for the upcoming academic conference.
It had already been ten years since he moved south.
He was currently serving as a professor of magical studies at Artemia, the largest academy in the south. His name now was Clotho.
Having become a professor at a young age, he was now quite a distinguished scholar.
“Come in.”
While waiting for his soon-to-arrive new assistant, he reopened the book he had briefly set aside. Just then, someone entered with light, cheerful footsteps.
“Hello, Professor. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
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.
