The Duke's Flower is Precarious (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
“Your…… Highness……?”
Aidel’s eyes were still hazy. She barely managed to turn her body to confirm who it was.
“Ah……!”
As her unbalanced body swayed again, Kaeron wrapped both arms around her waist and pulled her tightly into his embrace.
Aidel clung to him, gripping his forearms firmly. Because of that, the loosely worn gown he had on parted on both sides, revealing his perfectly sculpted, angular chest muscles like a statue.
Their bodies pressed together without even an inch of gap. Through the deep opening of her neckline, her softly rounded upper breasts came directly into contact with his bare chest.
At the vivid sensation of skin against skin, the smile completely vanished from Kaeron’s face.
The woman’s body was tantalizingly warm and soft. Due to her rising body temperature, the fragrant scent emanating from her became even richer.
As the desire to plunge into her body right away surged within him, Kaeron gritted his teeth. Strength entered his hands gripping Aidel’s slender waist.
“It’s really you……”
Having confirmed Kaeron’s face, Aidel smiled brightly without knowing his inner turmoil.
Her hand touched Kaeron’s cheek. Barely lifting her half-closed eyelids, she carefully traced his blurred face with gentle fingers.
“Grand Duke Your Highness……”

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.

Can’t wait for second prince to die . How dare he touch grand Duchess with his filthy hand.
I hope Kareon kills first prince . But maybe that’s not going to happen because of diplomatic relations between kingdoms. If at that moment aidel would have remained unconscious ,second prince definitely would have died .It’s unfortunate , that bastard should have died on spot.
I am blushing even though I don’t know what withdrawal symptoms is.
