To The Eternal Knight (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 197
A task only Alejandro could carry out.
Nerea bit the inside of her lip at the sound of his unwavering confidence. How could this possibly be something only Alejandro should do?
It was she herself who had resolved to finish off Gabe and Helen. It was only right that she should be the one to watch their wretched lives flicker out with mocking eyes until the very end.
Yet Alejandro seemed to have already read through her hundreds of hesitations and the one decisive resolve that followed them all. Otherwise, he wouldn’t wear such an unquestioning expression.
Nerea desperately wanted to find even the slightest trace of hesitation on Alejandro’s face.
But Alejandro’s jet-black eyes, smiling more joyfully than anyone else’s, were unusually calm and steady.
Faced with that blindly devoted gaze—the same look he wore when begging her to let him wield the sharpest sword—Nerea finally steeled her wavering heart and turned toward Grace.
Their eyes met only once, yet quick-witted Grace immediately rose from her seat with Johnny and left the room.
In the now even quieter room, Alejandro looked at Nerea with eyes both obedient and provocative. That look—willing to obey her every word—shone all the more fiercely because of it.
At last, the moment had come: the lips of the knight he revered as a goddess parted.
“Yes. It truly is a task only you, Alejandro, can carry out.”
The moment her permission fell, a sharp, icy sensation pierced through Alejandro’s crown like a blade.
It was ecstasy.
Gabe, Helen—and Brienna Esteban—were finally within his grasp. But if he showed even the slightest sign of agitation, his knight might instantly regret having granted him this chance.
Suppressing his excitement and joy, Alejandro looked back at Nerea with more composure and calm than ever before.

After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
