Stolen Crown Princess (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
“Your Highness, allow me to once again congratulate you on your glorious return.”
“To hear such words from Your Grace, who is acknowledged as the Empire’s finest knight, fills me with unparalleled joy.”
“Your praise is far too generous. Compared to Your Highness, my skill remains woefully inadequate.”
Lord Hameld, whose countenance radiated kindness, modestly curved his lips upward.
“Her Highness the Crown Princess appears more radiant than ever today. Would you not agree, my dear?”
Lord Hameld, shifting his gaze from Liurian to Ibelia, looked at his wife with unrestrained admiration.
The Countess, who had been standing gracefully by his side, nodded readily and stepped forward toward Ibelia.
“You truly are stunning, Your Highness. It is an immense honor to see you so closely.”
Faced with hospitality she had never imagined, Ibelia shyly lifted a gentle smile.
She felt utterly bewildered. At such parties, she had always lingered like a ghost in the corner—but today, just as Liurian had said, it felt as though she were truly the main character.
Though everyone pretended otherwise, all eyes were fixed on her. Whether it was because of the Empire’s one and only necklace or simply because she stood beside Liurian, she couldn’t tell.
But one thing was certain: those watching her were brimming with envy.
“With such generous praise, I’m relieved I haven’t disgraced myself as Your Highness’s partner. I’m genuinely delighted.”
Maintaining the dignity befitting a Crown Princess, Ibelia approached the Count and Countess with a warm, friendly demeanor. Fortunately, her attitude seemed to please them—their faces were filled with satisfied smiles.
“To think someone so beautiful would cause me any shame—my consort is even humble! Isn’t that right, Your Grace?”

The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect.

After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.

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.
