The Terminally-Ill Princess Holds the Leash of the Mad Dog (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 075
“Your Majesty.”
Celia stood upright, lifting her chin defiantly.
“Your Majesty shall possess nothing of mine.”
Celia gripped the hand Illeon had placed on her cheek and continued.
“My life, my death—they belong entirely to me.”
“…….”
“Please, do not desire what you cannot have.”
Having said this, Celia gently brushed away Illeon’s hand and smiled softly.
Her large green eyes curved gently within delicate eyelids, and the ends of her crimson lips formed a graceful arc.
Illeon could not rebuke Celia for daring to reject his touch.
He could not tear his gaze away from her radiant smile.
Yet, it was not merely because Celia’s appearance was excessively beautiful.
It was her unyielding spirit, the dignity emanating from her entire being, and the fierce, intense gaze fixed upon him.
Something deep within Illeon stirred.
“……Do you despise me?”
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.”

Did Arthur take over the parrot’s body so he could always be close to Celia? Maybe as a type of fail safe if Dietrich killed him?
Nice ending, with the glimpse of the future. I’m really expecting a lot from about extra stories. I just wonder is there connection with “Political Marriage with a Friendly Enemy”? Thank you about the translation.

Ileon nodded toward Balt’s sword with the tip of his chin.
I’m assuming Balt either forgot or doesn’t trust that Celia said she would spare his life if he helped her.
“You don’t trust me at all.”
Balt makes an excellent point here. Ileon couldn’t even pity his ignorant relatively harmless little sister, he just literally threw her to the wolves, er… monsters. How could anyone trust Ileon wouldn’t sell them out?

Chapter 74 is missing.
I feel like I missed important information. Was it the cathedral or hall of ministers that burned or both?
