But something didn’t feel right when it sunk in deep?
“Aaaaah!”
The one who attacked me screamed and fell.
At the same time, I felt something was missing in my hand.
My white lace fan was standing upright above his buttocks.
“Uh… um…”
I tried to retrieve the fan but somehow felt it would be more cruel, so I gave up.
Some doctor somewhere would take care of the extra’s treatment.
“…I didn’t expect it to go in that deep. A mistake, but…”
The villains looked back and forth between the fan and me, their eyes shaking.
‘It doesn’t seem to have gone in very deep, but it must hurt a lot… Oh well, never mind.’
I casually flipped my hair, pretending it was no big deal.
“As long as you don’t kill me, as you said, right?”
“Madam!”
Then Mild Knight hurriedly came between the men and me.
“Are you all right?”
“I’m fine. But my fan is ruined.”
Mild Knight’s face turned pale as he looked at my fan.
He then breathed a sigh of relief.
“I’m glad you’re safe, Madam. And those villains…”
Mild Knight glared at the masked villains.
“Shall I tell them to leave? …Shall we try to capture at least one?”
At his question, one of the villains clenched his fist in surprise.
“Just one knight, what’s the big deal?”
The other villains were also ready to gang up.
“They outnumber us, but can we catch them? Mild Knight, can you do it?”
“I will try. It’s dangerous, so please take Domingo and get away, Madam.”
Then two of the villains attacked us.
“Mild Knight! Handle the one on the left!”
“Yes!”
At my command, Mild Knight punched the villain rushing from the left.
At the same time, the villain rushing from the right got hit by my spinning kick and fell.
Mild Knight was astonished at my kick.
“MaMadam? That martial art is?”
“Now’s not the time to talk about that, is it? Keep your eye on the ball and handle the attacking villains!”
I then showed another villain the spicy taste of my finger poke.
‘This back kick is on the house!’
“Cough!”
“Awk!”
But then an unexpected situation occurred. As the villain gasped for breath, I too let out an involuntary scream.
‘Ellen’s body moves better than I thought, but…’
It was not a weak body, but the shock was more significant than I expected.
I was turning my ankle, remembering how I had kicked Philip with the same foot not long ago.
There was a tingling sensation then, too.
I didn’t care because I felt fine quickly, but it seemed the fatigue had accumulated.
But I couldn’t back down just because my ankle was in bad shape.
Excluding the villain knocked down by the fan, it was now a 6 to 2 situation.
If I hesitated or retreated and got subdued, I’d end up in a nasty predicament.
I then kicked the next attacking villain’s jaw with a front kick, knocking him over.
Mild Kyeong quickly subdued the guy charging at him.
“Good grief! These guys are no ordinary ones!”
Afterward, when two more were knocked down, the remaining two charged at Domingo instead of us.
“Hurry and give it to us! We just need to take that!”
Domingo crouched even lower.
“You can’t!”
He was tightly holding something in his arms.
‘Perhaps the camellia oil?’
“Hurry up and hand it over!”
One of the thugs kicked Domingo.
“Ugh!”
But Domingo remained crouched, only moaning. Stupidly enduring, Buoa became meticulous.
Anyhow, when the two thugs were beaten away and Domingo’s item was protected, it happened.
Squeeeek!
One of the thugs blew a horn.
Then, from somewhere, ten more masked people gathered.
Even worse, unlike the previous seven thugs, these were armed with hand axes, jackknives, and other weapons.
Mild Kyeong drew the sword from his waist.
“This is truly dangerous. My Lady, please step aside so I can fight comfortably.”
For now, I moved Domingo aside.
Domingo staggered against the wall.
“I apologize, My Lady.”
“What’s so important about camellia oil? Even if it’s expensive, it’s cheaper than a life; you should’ve given it up and bought new ones from the start.”
“So, sorry, My Lady. That is……”
Domingo tried to say something.
Then the sound of clashing metal was heard.
There was no way Mild Kyeong could handle ten armed men alone.
I interrupted Domingo and pushed his shoulder.
“It’s fine. The item wasn’t taken, and you don’t seem badly hurt. Let’s quickly leave this alley.”
“Yes?”
I picked up a few stones.
“At this rate, my knight will die. We have to help.”
“My, My Lady?”
It seemed like I had to speak a bit maliciously to get him moving.
“Don’t dawdle, get out! Go report to the city guards!”
I pushed the hesitating Domingo out of the alley.
“My, My Lady, shouldn’t you also come?”
I threw a stone hard, hitting a thug.
“Ugh!”
One fell, and another thug glared at me with murderous eyes.
He clutched his knife as if to run over and stab me.
“My, My Lady.”
Ah! Domingo is being a hindrance in this situation.
“Be quiet! We’ll all die like this! Get out now!”
Shocked by my yell, Domingo finally staggered out of the alley.
I doubted if he could walk well like that.
As expected, Domingo soon fell to the ground.
Perhaps he was old; his legs seemed to have given out.
I wanted to support him, but a thug wielding a knife charged at me.
I had no time to worry about Domingo.
“How rude!”
I threw a stone, and the thug turned to dodge, creating an opening.
With a palm strike, I knocked the knife from his hand.
“Haah!”
I immediately elbowed him in the jaw.
“Ugh!”
The thug who received my strike to his jaw and neck fell backward.
“Ow……”
My hand and elbow that struck him ached.
I gathered the hem of my dress and rejoined the fight.
First, I threw stones at the back of the thugs who were distracted by Mild Kyeong.
“Eh.”
Sadly, I missed, and some looked back at me.
“Kill that woman!”
Three charged at me.
“My Lady! Please!”
Mild Kyeong almost screamed.
Though he was fighting with all his might, he was distraught at the thought of me getting hurt.
“Mild Kyeong alone might die if he fights!”
I darted like a butterfly and stung like a bee.
With sharp finger thrusts and palm strikes, I made two hesitate and then properly launched myself.
“Haah!”
One roundhouse kick, two roundhouse kicks, and a third roundhouse kick……
Like a whirlwind, every time she struck, there was a heavy sensation in her foot, but could it be because her life depended on it?
The successfully executed 720degree spin kick was artistic even in my eyes.
‘It’s worthy of an Olympic gold medal. Really.’
With a single powerful technique, she kicked the three villains in succession, and it was when she landed.
There was a bang, and the sound of fireworks exploding from behind rang out.
“Subdue them all!”
The voice that followed was familiar. Turning around, there was Count Philip Morris on a white horse with six knights.
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.
