The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 248
“Your Highness! Waaah, Your Highness!”
Boom. Through the wide-open door, a tear-streaked beauty rushed in. Abelus, who had been discussing matters with the Minister of War, wore an exhausted expression.
He had anticipated this and tried to control the news.
“Your Highness, is it true the rumor that my father has gone missing?”
“Yes, it’s true.”
Holding Megara as she sobbed against him, Abelus spoke softly. Then, gently patting her back, he signaled the Minister of War to leave.
For the mistress of the Crown Prince—not even his wife—to barge in and disrupt critical state affairs! The Minister was displeased but obediently withdrew as instructed. Abelus led Megara to a sofa on one side of his office and seated her.
Her lovely face was utterly wrecked from weeping. And rightly so—her father had taken a massive force into battle, only to suffer total defeat and vanish. It was certainly no good news for Marquis Rikeandros, nor for his family.
Abelus sighed and wiped Megara’s cheek as he spoke.
“Maggie, listen carefully. I’m pained too that the Marquis has disappeared. Losing such talent is a great loss to the nation. But…”
He intended to say they would surely conduct a thorough search and that she should wait quietly. After all, such sorrow was inevitable in wartime. But Megara caught the word he’d carelessly used and her eyes flew wide open.
“‘Lost’? Your Highness, if my father is merely missing, doesn’t that mean we can still find him?”
Oops. Abelus clicked his tongue. He withdrew his hand from Megara’s tear-soaked cheek and fell silent for a moment. During that brief pause, Megara dared not even breathe.
Finally, Abelus spoke.
“They say the city wall collapsed. The Marquis happened to be right beneath it. Since his body hasn’t been found, we’re calling it a disappearance—but the chance he’s alive and will return is slim. I’ll summon the young Marquis shortly to temporarily inherit the title and attend the council of state.”

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.”
