[Full] The Villainess Just Wants to Live Quietly! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 48
Leiana was just about to drift off to sleep.
She felt a chill in the air and opened her eyes slightly—only to find a masked stranger pressing a knife to her throat.
She couldn’t even sense when he’d arrived or how he’d gotten in.
Leiana swallowed hard and stared at the two men before her.
“What do you want?”
Though House Crisha wasn’t as powerful as House Brelrop, it was still unquestionably one of the noble houses within the Arwen Empire.
The fact that the surroundings remained eerily quiet meant no one had noticed the intruders—only someone far from ordinary could have breached such tight security and reached her chamber.
Leiana was certain they must have come for a specific reason concerning her.
The two men standing before her had their faces covered, but they were Tendai and Andro, dispatched from the Kalua Empire to pursue Askan.
Without a word, Tendai held out a slip of paper containing information he’d obtained from a tavern.
[Fifteen-year-old boy, slave, possesses the supernatural ability to control fire.]
The moment Leiana saw the note, she instantly recognized it as part of the investigation she’d been conducting about Askan through back-alley channels.
“Why would you…?”
She couldn’t understand.
Though countless scenarios ran through her mind, she’d never once imagined someone would come looking for a mere slave.
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.
