The Terminally-Ill Princess Holds the Leash of the Mad Dog (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 050
“You really are an incredible actor. I thought you were a professional. I almost got completely fooled.”
Celia Brillion entered Dietrich Calypso’s room and said with a sense of relief.
Yet, Dietrich remained silent, merely staring down at her face.
“What? Is something on my face?”
Dietrich, who had just tidied Celia Brillion’s hair, asked quietly.
“……Are you okay?”
She hadn’t expected him to ask if she was alright.
Celia Brillion awkwardly avoided his gaze.
“Mm, I’m fine. It’s all in the past now. And now I have you too.”
“…….”
The atmosphere turned strange. It hadn’t been like this earlier, when they were pretending to be lovers.
Celia Brillion realized too late that she had made a mistake by saying that.
He, more than anyone, was consumed by vengeance toward the past—yet she had casually dismissed it as something long gone.
Even if he thought her odd, what could she do? Their relationship was strictly one of necessity, nothing more, nothing less.
Deciding there was no need to correct herself, Celia Brillion shifted the topic to ease the tension.

Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect.

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.
