[Full] The Villainess Just Wants to Live Quietly! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 148
It was reassuring. I realized anew just how much strength it gave me to have Askan by my side.
I looked at Askan and smiled helplessly.
“Don’t get hurt.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Have you thought about how we’ll face them?”
“The Grand Duke’s forces are numerous, but the longer this drags into a protracted war, the more advantageous it becomes for us. They must procure supplies from the duchy, whereas we can lock the capital’s gates and hold out for a long time.”
“If this civil war severely damages the Lazent Empire, it’ll weaken our ability to counter the Kalua Empire. Is it truly safe to pursue a prolonged conflict?”
Sensing my worry, Askan gently ruffled my hair with his large hand.
“Don’t be impatient. Though the Grand Duke appears stronger for now, once his supply lines are cut, he’ll be cornered. There are plenty of ways to win without ever drawing our swords ourselves.”
Indeed, I couldn’t hope to match the seasoned mind of someone with his experience.
If we bought enough time, magical engineering weapons from the Arwen Empire would arrive. Being equipped with those would surely help.
“Right, you’re correct. Is there anything I can do to help?”

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.
