Stop Coming On to Me (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 48
After the young ladies’ chorus, one of them answered excitedly.
“A gift is a jewel, of course! We’ll use His Majesty’s private funds to buy the largest jewel possible. They say the Riley Auction is happening soon!”
“The Riley Auction?”
“But His Majesty must already have plenty of fine jewels…”
“That’s why we need to choose something special!”
Her Highness Milliora was discussing the contest problem with her tea party members—the very matter she should have been discussing with me, her maid.
Yet the conversation was so foolish I almost felt I ought to worry about them instead.
The Riley Auction was a secret auction attended only by invited nobles.
Because it was held irregularly, only when exceptionally rare items became available, transactions sometimes reached unimaginable sums.
But giving jewels as a birthday gift for His Majesty, a middle-aged man, somehow didn’t seem fitting.
Her Highness the Princess voiced the same thought with a slightly haughty tone.
“Are you going to propose to His Majesty?”
That single remark chilled the atmosphere instantly.
Keril, glancing at Her Highness and seeking agreement from the young ladies, said,
“Exactly. His Majesty already has Her Majesty the Empress—a jewel in herself. Isn’t that right?”
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!
