She's a Villainess but her Husband is Handsome (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 98
The other captains’ glances flickered toward Hether.
Hether was expected to receive confirmation today for the position of Security Corps Commander.
They had all heard the rumors well in advance.
They also understood that the appearance of the current Security Corps Commander—a man openly unfriendly toward Hether—would undoubtedly unsettle Hether’s mood.
Yet, knowing that no one could object to Boris Black’s presence, they merely watched the atmosphere carefully.
Since the king himself was present, the meeting commenced with solemn gravity.
The primary agenda of today’s council concerned the war along the eastern border—a region the king had grown increasingly anxious about due to repeated invasions from neighboring kingdoms.
As the lengthy meeting neared its conclusion, the king, who had silently observed the proceedings until then, finally spoke after a long silence.
“Even the children of this kingdom know that you gentlemen surpass me in safeguarding the realm.”
The knights’ faces brightened with pride at the king’s praise.
“But above all, your abilities will only shine brighter under truly exceptional leadership.”
Cedric tensed his eyes, watching as the king began his preamble.
“Thanks to the outstanding leadership of the esteemed Sir Black and the valor of the knights you command, the Martin Kingdom has remained safe thus far.”
Having finished his words, the king slowly swept his gaze over each knight seated in a circle around him.
“As you all know, Sir Boris Black’s term as Security Corps Commander draws to a close.”
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.
