This Life, I Will Save The Duke (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 98
Though the distance was considerable, the pressure from Kaius’s gaze had not weakened in the slightest. Without even realizing it, Ariel had already averted her eyes from his. She felt shabby—especially standing beside him, that feeling only intensified.
He shone brightly, and she was the one who dimmed his light.
Unable to bear the miserable feeling any longer, Ariel hurried toward the doorway. Before she could pass, however, Kaius stepped in front of her. The faint scent of blood emanating from him stirred up her self-loathing once more.
“I’m leaving now.”
Thinking he’d come to tell her to return to the mansion quickly, Ariel spoke first. In her lowered gaze, she saw his large, firm hand extended toward her.
“Take it, my lady.”
Bewildered, Ariel looked around before taking his hand. Noticing that the injured hadn’t all been checked on yet, she met his eyes squarely—she didn’t want to cause him any more trouble.
“There’s no need to escort me. Please finish what you were doing.”

“Antiseptic.”
Sitting before an injured person, Kaius held out his hand and spoke.
“If you don’t want to help, then just return to the mansion for now, my lady.”

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.
