Lady Devil - Chapter 130
#130
[Xavier!]
The black-haired boy who seemed to be the leader turned to look at the boy who resembled Johannes. The boy called Xavier grumbled with an embarrassed smile.
[Sorry, I’m a bit late. My sister has been feverish since early morning…. But what are you all doing now?]
[That one, it’s the bastard I told you about before.]
The black-haired one grinned and nodded towards the tied-up Johannes.
[That bastard?]
[Kretzman’s son.]
[Oh?]
[We caught him wandering near the slaughterhouse and brought him back. We were lucky. I thought we had completely lost him.]
Xavier’s distinctive wall-eyes slowly scanned Johannes, hands thrust into his waist pockets. That boy who resembled Johannes. At that time, Johannes, who was crossing the threshold of death every second, did not realize it, but due to his tall stature and upright posture, despite his comfortable impression, his presence was particularly vivid among the other children. Like a sun fallen to earth.
That sun, Xavier, strode over to under the tree. Soon he drew a dagger from his waist and whispered like pouring water against Johannes’s knee, which was frantically flailing in mid-air before him.
[I simply cannot understand. Why bother escaping and inviting trouble…. If you had the strength to run away, you should have slit the throat of the one who caught you first. If you didn’t have the confidence to kill, you should have first built up the strength to finish off those vermin. Not even having that much resolve…. Weak bastard….]
Despite the gentle tone, it was an insult that didn’t even try to hide the contempt directed at everyone, but Xavier was nonchalant. It was a monologue that even Johannes right next to him couldn’t fully hear. Let alone the onlookers forming a circle at a distance.
Whether Johannes writhed like a trapped animal or not, Xavier shook his head with a faint sigh and casually raised his hand to cut through the middle of the rope. Surprised exclamations of “Why is he doing that?” leaked out from here and there.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
