The Monster Knight Wants Maternity Leave (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 48
Waving a flag adorned with the academy emblem, Leon led the way, and countless children followed with eager, excited faces, looking around curiously.
Among them, teacher and guide doll-costumes trailed along limply.
“I was sure the royal attendants would come—so the knights of His Majesty were inside those doll costumes all along.”
“Oh my, really? Such esteemed guests have arrived, yet why is Lord Leon here too? Ah, perhaps because he’s the Warden’s son?”
“That must be it. Well, regardless, it’s wonderful! Doesn’t the whole world seem to brighten around Lord Leon? Hehe.”
“Oh dear, that’s obvious! If only I were a bit younger… Hehe! Teacher Emily, you did well to dress up so nicely today!”
The chatty teachers spoke loudly enough for Emily, walking ahead in her large hat, to hear clearly.
“…Yes.”
But Emily, the Sparrow Class teacher, glanced at Leon guiltily, as if she’d committed a crime herself.
‘Ugh, why did he show up again? It’s obvious he came on purpose because of Lucia’s daughter. From the entrance ceremony to the children’s outing—he’s practically obsessed!’
Everyone of marriageable age knew well that the person he liked was Lucia.
It was practically common knowledge that wherever he appeared—despite rarely showing himself—Lucia would surely be there too.
Thus, complaints about his looks or anything else were bound to bubble up.
‘Damn it, I shouldn’t have come saying I was fine. Now I’m stuck gawking around the Imperial Palace…!’
She could have easily taken leave and skipped this entirely.
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.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
