Unable To Escape (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 98
Sitting in the reception room of the princess’s quarters, Cheryl repeatedly sipped cold water to soothe her dry mouth when she heard the maid announce Alicia’s arrival. She immediately rose from her seat and bowed her head.
The anxiety that had clouded her face just moments ago had already been completely wiped away.
“I greet Her Highness, the noble princess of Eregorn.”
“It’s been a while, Lady Lewis. Our last meeting was at Duke Diaz’s estate, wasn’t it?”
“Yes, Your Highness. That is correct.”
“I’ve been quite worried that you might have made the trip in vain because of me that day.”
“I am truly grateful for Your Highness’s thoughtful concern.”
While these hollow pleasantries were exchanged, Amy personally wheeled in a trolley and placed teacups and snacks onto the low table between them.
After filling their empty cups with warm black tea, Amy withdrew, and a brief silence settled between Alicia and Cheryl.
‘Why has she come to see me?’
She wanted to ask immediately, but she held her tongue—for now—to maintain control of the conversation.
Cheryl seemed to share the same thought.
Like any true merchant’s child, she sat calmly, concealing her true intentions while appearing thoroughly at ease as she savored the tea’s fragrance.
“I’m relieved to see you don’t seem seriously unwell.”

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.
