To The Eternal Knight (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 148
It was exactly as the Grand Duke had said.
The rest belonged to the Emperor and the nobles who would tear him apart.
“How dare you—how dare you all look at me with such disloyal eyes!”
“Your Majesty is absolutely right! Are you nobles truly willing to believe the testimony of a criminal whose guilt hasn’t even been verified—let alone properly interrogated—simply because he confessed under pressure!”
The Emperor roared, and the Crown Prince likewise shouted loudly in response. But they already knew.
The nobles no longer looked upon the Emperor and the Crown Prince with respectful eyes.
The authority and dignity that had kept Castarti beneath the Emperor’s feet was slowly crumbling away.
The Emperor swallowed hard, struggling to regain his composure. How could this empire he had built with his own hands… be shaken by mere words from someone like Gabe Esteban?
“How utterly absurd.”
With a short sigh, the Emperor slowly gazed down at the nobles.
Only when the nobles—who just moments ago had barked at him as if daring to interrogate the Emperor himself—gradually closed their mouths did he finally speak.
“Interrogate the criminal again.”
The Emperor ground his teeth, glaring fiercely at Gabe Esteban.
“He is to be treated strictly according to Castarti’s legal code. This time, place him not in the Imperial Palace’s noble prison, but at the very bottom of the lowest dungeon.”

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!
