To The Eternal Knight (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 123
“Just what could Gabe Esteban possibly be useful for?”
Alejandro muttered lightly. According to Sir, what use could Emperor possibly find in Gabe Esteban, who had neither family nor fortune, to pull him out of prison?
His pitch-black eyes stared straight through Gabe Esteban as though piercing him.
In the darkness, the old man’s auburn hair appeared deep brown. Gabe’s appearance gave no hint whatsoever of anything reminiscent of Sir.
What a waste. Alejandro softly swallowed a breath and slowly closed one eye. His focus sharpened, aimed precisely at Gabe like a marksman sighting his target.
Watching Gabe’s foolish, anxious face darting this way and that, Alejandro naturally recalled a scene from ten years ago.
That man who stood behind Helen, who smiled like a poisonous mushroom, and looked down at Sir with a cold, arrogant expression.
Alejandro flicked a glance toward Johnny’s right pocket. On nights they infiltrated the imperial palace, Johnny always carried a fork and a dessert-cutting knife taken from the banquet hall kitchen in that pocket.
Gabe Esteban had returned looking utterly insignificant, armed only with easily obtainable weapons.
Yet that sudden surge of hatred had to be kept under control. Alejandro’s Adam’s apple bobbed briefly. After swallowing down the fierce excitement that had nearly quickened his breath, he lazily rolled his shoulders.
“…Since you asked—‘that one’ is for you to verify, Johnny.”
Verification was the extent of his assigned duty. ‘Handling’ that person belonged to Sir.
“I shall follow your orders, Master.”
The sharp, oppressive aura that had been pressing down on the surroundings vanished instantly. Still, Johnny deliberately tried to relax his tense frame by recalling pleasant thoughts.
Perhaps he, too, had just found a rather promising clue—just like Anja and Colton, who’d gone off searching for information about the Grand Duke’s mother.

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.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
