Chapter 17 The Same Day, Sarangchae of Kim Ja-geun, Leader of the Haedong Kim Clan's Powerful Faction, Hanseong As soon as Kim Ja-geun's trusted subordinate reported the result of the Royal Council session, Kim Ja-geun spoke. “Cut off the magistrate involved first.

Chapter 15 How to Survive as the Wife of a Monster Duke As soon as Eline woke up, she stared blankly ahead for a moment before quickly getting out of bed.
