The Villainess' Joyful Married Life (59 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 98
Behind Eshika as she exited the imperial palace, a sharp voice rang out.
“Former Duchess Eshika Klaus!”
At the sound of that voice, she halted her steps and slowly turned around.
Aria Hines approached with a stiff expression, her heels clicking sharply against the ground.
Though Eshika had noticed Aria’s gaze—filled with hostility and caution—throughout the tea party she had successfully concluded, she chose not to respond.
Standing before Eshika, Aria looked at her and spoke in a cold tone.
“You’re leaving early. I wanted to have a bit more of a conversation with you. Is there something urgent you must attend to?”
“…….”
“Or perhaps you found the atmosphere too uncomfortable?”
Eshika offered only a faint smile and gave no reply to Aria.
Reacting to this silence, Aria’s eyebrows twitched as she crossed her arms and continued.
Her voice was lower and more secretive than before.
“Don’t think you’ve beaten me with today’s little performance. No matter how much favor you win from other noble ladies, in Her Imperial Majesty the Empress’s eyes, a daughter of the Grand Ducal House of Hines will always be preferable to Bridget’s divorced daughter—that’s simply unavoidable.”
Having finished her words, Aria wore an expression of smug satisfaction.
“In the end, you’re simply not a rival worthy of my competition within the imperial court.”
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!
