To The Eternal Knight (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 173
Duke Roselini’s mind was tangled in confusion.
He had clearly confirmed that the Imperial Palace Knights would appear today—he had even reassured his allies that it was all part of the Emperor’s plan to imprison the Grand Duke and Count Esteban.
So after locking his door, he had only verified that the commotion outside had begun—but what in the world was happening now?!
“If it will take you too long to get ready, shall we proceed as you are?”
An indifferent voice dropped onto Duke Roselini, whose situation remained utterly unresolved. It was the messenger.
Damn this insolent wretch!
But Duke Roselini barely managed to swallow the curses rising in his throat. Making up an excuse for his young wife, who clung anxiously to his arm murmuring “Darling,” he forced out words with great difficulty.
“Then… Where are His Imperial Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this moment?”
He needed to understand immediately what was going on. Yet the messenger’s reply was the exact opposite of what Duke Roselini had anticipated.
“His Imperial Majesty Emperor Edward Valer Castarti awaits you in the Grand Hall of the Imperial Palace.”
Ah—damn it. In his panic, he had failed to properly grasp the situation.
Duke Roselini sidelong glanced at the Imperial Palace Knights standing behind the messenger. Their helmets and armor gleamed silver; their sheathed swords and sharply pointed spear tips radiated menace.

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.
