The End Of The Special Contract Marriage (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
“Hmm, but do you really have to earn merit on this particular mission? If something better comes up next time, I’ll give it all to you, Aracila.”
“No! I absolutely must do it this time. Opportunities to hunt high-grade monsters aren’t common, you know.”
Faced with Aracila’s adamant insistence, Frederick fell into deep thought.
His posture—legs crossed, eyes lowered—was as elegant as a sculpture, yet it didn’t register at all in Aracila’s eyes.
After a long silence, Frederick finally spoke.
“Alright, well… If you want it that badly, I’ll let you have it. It’s not like it’ll be anything bad for you anyway.”
“Thank you, Frederick.”
“Don’t mention it. I figured you’d handle things more thoroughly if you went there yourself.”
Frederick smiled faintly as he uttered those words full of hidden meaning.
Aracila didn’t quite understand what exactly he wanted her to see or tidy up, but for now, she decided to focus solely on rescuing Damian.
Frederick immediately reclassified the western monster subjugation mission as a joint operation between the Redhawk Knights and the Mage Tower.
Aracila took the commission letter he’d prepared and went straight to Philip.
“Master of the Mage Tower, I’ve received a monster subjugation mission. Please allow me to represent the Mage Tower.”
Philip stared in surprise at his disciple bowing before him and immediately holding out the commission letter.
“This is precisely the mission I mentioned earlier. I’d really like to earn some merit, so please, grant me permission.”
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.

After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
