The Beast Swallowed by the Flower (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 148
When Britney arrived in Leriso, where Lacozan was supposed to be, the only thing awaiting her was news that he had already left for Minasarik.
She nearly fainted from despair, but fortunately, she managed to endure because she’d joined up with the assassins she’d arranged to meet.
Now that she had guards, the journey to Minasarik shouldn’t be difficult, Britney thought.
She was wrong.
The assassins had only promised to “protect her from the Second Prince”—they never said they’d attend to her needs.
Whenever Britney complained of hunger, they’d hunt wild game for her—but then sold it to her for money.
Even cleaning and cooking it required payment, and a considerable sum at that.
Money. Money. Money.
She’d brought quite a lot of money with her, yet at this rate, she’d run out before even reaching Minasarik.
‘This is terrible. I still need to buy mana stones for the return trip.’
The speed-enhancing mana stones she’d intended to use on her horse for the return journey had already been used on the way from Leriso to Minasarik.
Given how far behind schedule she already was, failing to use speed mana stones now would mean she’d never arrive at the Gaviazar Imperial Palace on time.
So she proposed to the twin assassins named Leman and Leden that she’d pay them later, but they flatly refused.
“Why should we trust you?”
Moreover, insisting they must avoid drawing attention, they steered clear of towns and villages, leaving Britney unable to buy reasonably priced food or rest comfortably anywhere.

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!
