“But now you can’t even touch the tip of my finger. Because of that royal command.”
Lamein raised her lips in a mocking smile.
Again, Sion’s stifled lips began to twitch.
Knock, knock.
A servant, looking at him with cold eyes, came in with a knock.
A satisfied smile spread across Sion’s mouth at that moment.
‘Roses?’
In the servant’s hand were dozens of roses, the thorns of the stems not even trimmed.
Lamein squinted at the repugnant smell of roses piercing her nose.
Sion, who jumped up from his seat, approached the servant and took the roses.
“After such a long time my brother has come. Shouldn’t I personally entertain you?”
Lamein pushed up her lips sourly, looking with crumpled eyes.
‘Eat. Eat. You said you won’t die? Let’s see if you don’t die after eating this!’
Hundreds of fallen rose petals on the floor.
Stuffing rose petals into her mouth, lying on top of them.
……It was because of you.
‘It was because of this brat in front of me that I had a rejection reaction when I smelled roses.’
With the foul smell rising to the tip of her nose, she squinted.
‘Yes. It was because of you…….’
Recalling the cruel memory, clenching her fist at that moment.
‘Zelda. Listen to Mom! If you use your ability wrong, people can die.’
‘Even if you’re angry, you can’t kill people. And never show your ability in front of anyone! Promise with Mom!’
Behind the young Lamein, nodding her round eyes.
‘You’re Sion’s dog! Bark like a dog! Woof! Woof!’
Lamein’s face, gritting her teeth and trembling as she held back her anger, flashed by.
‘Please take this medicine to Traum Village.’
And Lamein’s figure, secretly meeting someone on a dark night.
With memories pouring out enough to blur her vision, Lamein’s eyes snapped open.
And she looked at her hand, tightly clenched.
‘…So that’s how it is. There was one more thing I didn’t know.’
…I can kill a person.
Lamein slowly raised her head.
And stared straight at the man before her eyes.
After he had fed her rose petals all night.
Knowing that she reacted negatively to the scent of roses, Sion always appeared with roses when he came to see her.
Sijong left the room.
“Now, it’s a gift prepared for you.”
Sion slowly approached.
I won’t fall down now.
Lamein glared at the man before her eyes, holding her breath as much as she could.
“Now, take it.”
Eyes gleeful as if previewing the ensuing situation.
Lamein took the bouquet of roses he handed over. And then.
Swish!!
She lashed Sion’s cheek with the rose stem, where the sharp thorn was still embedded.
“Aargh!! What are you doing!!”
Swish!
With another lash, rose petals scattered beautifully in the air.
Blood streamed down Sion’s cheek, scratched by the thorns.
Lamein, who threw down the bouquet of roses she was holding, stretched out her hand.
And tightly grabbed Sion’s neck.
“Ugh! Cough! Ugh!”
Pushed by her strength, Sion’s body was thrust against the wall, making a thud noise.
Lamein sharply lifted one corner of her lips.
“You tried to scare me with this petty prank?”
“Co……cough! Lame……in! Wait, wait a moment!”
With the other corner of her lips sharply raised, Lamein slowly opened her mouth.
“I’ll tell you one fact you don’t know today.”
Her breath was increasingly cut off by the strength choking her neck.
“You, someone like you, I can kill just like this, with one palm.”
.
.
.
“The child seems to be alive.”
At Evans’s words, Cedric narrowed his eyes as if focusing.
“Who are you referring to by ‘that child’?”
Cedric asked, as if rushing.
A thrilling smile spread across Evans’s face for the first time.
Somehow, that smile felt eerie, and then Evans’s lips slowly parted.
“That child, I mean. Someone who can be saved by anyone…….”
“…….”
“An existence that anyone can kill.”
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.
