The Only Healer, Ruela (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
“Was the Duke of Perimontra a knight? I thought he was of royal blood, but from a rural landowning family.”
“Yes. I was under the same impression, so I couldn’t help but be surprised. I distinctly recall hearing that when the previous duke became emperor, he passed the ducal title to a relative living in the countryside. In any case, I should have killed the woman—my apologies.”
The subordinate bowed deeply to express his remorse. The duke, who had been calmly organizing the situation in his mind, shook his head.
“No. If a woman came alone with the Duke of Perimontra, she must be important. It was wise not to kill her—there’s nothing good to be gained from provoking Elab. Have you found out where they’re staying?”
“Yes, I’ve assigned someone to keep watch.”
“Find out why he’s come to Kuran. It’s highly suspicious that he’s suddenly showing interest in us.”
“Yes, Your Grace.”
Just as the man who had answered turned to leave, the duke gestured to stop him.
“And tell Balder to come in. It seems Maria still hasn’t moved from Kamun—I’ll need him to bring her here.”
No sooner had the duke finished speaking than the curtain of the corridor parted, and Balder entered.
His swaggering demeanor, narrow eyes gleaming with malice, and a sharp, rat-like chin. Around 175 cm tall with a slender build. The duke’s face furrowed in clear displeasure at Balder’s appearance, which differed entirely from his own—and even from his younger brother’s.
Balder was the spitting image of his maternal grandfather, both in looks and in his despicable nature.
“You want me to bring Maria?”
“Who gave you permission to come and go as you please?”
“If you wanted to restrict access, you should have posted a guard at the entrance. How can one knock on a place with no door?”
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.

What is this? This is slavery, not a kingdom. People have no freedom whatsoever; they can even dictate how often they use the bathroom. How outrageous! It’s truly suffocating. How can people live in a place like this? It’s utterly disgusting.
