Lady Devil - Chapter 48
#48
Griselda, who had been sitting beside the princess consort until then, screamed and fell backwards. She crawled backwards, probing with her bent elbows.
As if the ‘thing’ inside was inhaling and exhaling, the red mist repeatedly sank down and surged up, spreading uncontrollably in all directions.
Griselda wanted to run away just like that. She was utterly terrified from the bridge of her nose to the corners of her eyes. The temperature in the inner palace was changing, as if something’s long tongue was licking away the living energy of the two women.
Just as she had felt earlier in the birthing room.
However, the princess consort paid no heed.
“Come out…. Come out, please, hurry and come out…. Come out.”
She merely sat close beside the coffin, muttering anxiously.
Griselda did not know what the princess consort was waiting for. She had no energy to care. Only the image of the princess consort’s trembling back turning frighteningly red was etched in her mind. Though she had not yet realized it, in fact, the entire inner palace was completely red.
Goosebumps had already formed due to the chill that completely cut through the air, and the blood clouds touching every frozen surface were lukewarm like freshly drawn blood. An indescribably dramatic temperature difference. That vividness of blood vessels and intestines wrapping around arms raw.
It’s a demon. Griselda thought. Her jaw couldn’t stay still, convinced that demons awakened by the call of the mentally broken princess consort were surely rushing in. Her chattering teeth made a clacking sound each time they collided up and down.
“Come out….”
Whether what she was waiting for had not come out, the princess consort finally cried out, her entire body shaking.
“Come out…! Kretzman!”
And that’s when it happened. When the dark-haired shadow passed by Griselda.

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.
