The Regressed Empress Tames the Hunting Dog (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 123
Watching the Emperor walk away from the meeting room, Marquis Caprié let out a sigh. At the sight of him, Marquis Zennon spoke in a voice dripping with mockery.
“No matter how much you struggle, you’ll inevitably have to follow His Majesty’s decision. Tsk, tsk. Marquis Caprié, you’d do well to learn how to bend a little.”
With that, Marquis Zennon rose and left the meeting chamber, not forgetting to steal a quick glance at Grand Duke Errington’s expression.
Duke Canteloup, who had remained silent throughout the entire meeting, also quietly stood up.
“I’ll take my leave as well. See you at the next meeting.”
Duke Canteloup had only been present to fulfill the required number of attendees. His house’s authority and influence had already waned compared to before, and the Emperor had merely postponed dealing with him to secure Raoul’s ascension to the throne.
Indeed, public opinion held that House Canteloup would find it nearly impossible to regain its former glory.
After the supporters of the First Prince had all filed out in a group, Grand Duke Errington spoke with a light laugh.
“That’s exactly why I truly detest the Imperial Palace.”
“Your Grace must be experiencing this after quite some time.”
“My elder brother hasn’t changed at all, and neither has Duke Canteloup.”
Grand Duke Errington’s hair rippled gently as if stirred by a soft breeze. Though his expression was smiling, his magic clearly reacted—proof that his mood was far from pleasant.
“What on earth does that boy Kalid see in such gatherings that he clings to them so desperately?”
“Hahaha. Perhaps it’s simply the path fate has laid out.”
“Fate? What use is fate if you can’t even sever it yourself?”
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!
