The End Of The Special Contract Marriage (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 98
The village of Poshan, nestled beneath the Tritos Mountains, was surrounded by mountains and trees, making it accessible only by land routes.
Aracila and Damian abandoned their initial idea of using an airship and instead rode in a carriage drawn by horses.
Even riding without rest, it took several days to reach Poshan Village. Except for one brief rest, the extermination squad decided to press on relentlessly.
While all the mages rode in carriages, the knights split evenly between carriages and horses.
The horses galloped alongside, encircling the carriages they were escorting. Naturally, the carriages carrying the mages were treated the same way.
“Just what on earth was the captain thinking when he agreed to this joint operation with the Mage Tower? It’s unbearably awkward.”
At the grumbling remark from one knight, his nearby comrades nodded in agreement.
Ever since the Johnny Pattinson incident, relations between knights and mages had become extremely tense—especially between the Red Hawk Knights and the Mage Tower, who were directly involved in the case.
Although the matter had ultimately been concluded as Johnny Pattinson’s fault and resolved by Aracila and Damian together, the lingering discomfort was unavoidable.
After all, the two groups hadn’t cleared the air the way Aracila and Damian had.
“Do you really think we’ll coordinate well with those mages?”
“I just hope they don’t end up dragging us down.”
“Exactly. I don’t want to be stuck cleaning up after them.”
“Still, the biggest worry is Lady Vandermir. She wouldn’t dare interfere with the captain again, would she?”
Right in the middle of their chatter atop their horses, the window of the carriage beside them suddenly swung open.
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.
