The Villain Family Opposes Independence (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 123
When Adenmir stepped forward, Beltran—who had been acting like the one in charge all along—glared at him with a face flushed crimson.
“Hyungnim. I believe I already told you I would handle this investigation myself.”
“There’s no need.”
“I’ll do it. You should take care of other matters.”
“I can’t trust you, Beltran, when you cause friction even before the investigation begins.”
“That’s only because Duke Ferdia said the Princess Consort shouldn’t be taken away!”
“Duke Ferdia has no reason to oppose it outright.”
“But Duke Ferdia—!”
Adenmir turned his gaze away from Beltran, who was shouting in frustration, and looked toward Duke Ferdia.
“My lord. May I take the Princess Consort for the investigation into this incident?”
Before the Duke could even reply, Adenmir added one more sentence.
“Of course, Duke Krundel and Mercenary Ian will also be questioned separately.”
Though Adenmir had asked the question, it was me Duke Ferdia stared at.
Under that look—as if I were the world’s greatest troublemaker—I grinned foolishly with a “hehehe.”
Sighing, the Duke turned his head away from me and looked at Adenmir.
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.
