2021-11-26 12:21:30“Seriously? You even found yourself an enemy?” Leon said, still holding Oriana’s waist. Oriana frowned. “What?” He asked as his eyebrow raised.
“Colonel, why did you say that?” Oriana tried to remove Leon’s grip, but he held her tightly.
“Which part? You being a part of the Norton family or your family being restored?”
“Both. I told you not to make my hope rise.” Oriana paused. She was about to say something but shut it back, knowing that Leon would only use her words against her.
“Do I really have to explain things to you, Oriana? You’re not a toy.” His tone suddenly changed. Oriana remained still, and

After meeting with Chaster, Ashriel walked through her favorite garden, where Nathan waited. Reaching the massive door, the four huge guards bowed and opened the door for her.“Make sure no one enters.” She commanded and walked in.“Yes, Your Highness.”As she entered, the same breeze and view that usually greeted her felt different. That is because this time, Nathan was there, standing under Ashriel’s favorite Sakura tree, waiting for her arrival.“The ocean’s beautiful tonight,” Nathan commented and looked at her with a big smile as Ashriel slowly walked towards him. “But you’re beauty is different.”“Tsk. Why do you compliment me so much today?” Ashriel sulks and stands beside him. “Though it was nighttime, the ocean surely is beautiful. It looks more beautiful now than it did before.” She closed her eyes and felt the cold breeze.&

"Hey, twin, our baby's girl's fascinating, eh?" Natsuki pinched Ashriel's cheeks and aimed to ruffle her hair when two strong hands held his hand. "Don't you dare." Lady Chalier and Venice warned with their blazing eyes glaring at him. "Ha-Ha. Y-Yes, mother." He trembled and took his hand from them. "There, there, look at the camera now, my babies," Emmette said. The three frowned. "What?" "1,2,3!" Click! After how many clicks and poses, Ashriel let her parents go down but took her siblings' hands. "Call the Cadre. Let's take a group picture. Including the four." Natsuki and Venice's eyes widened with her words. They hesitated and exchanged glances with each other dumbfoundedly, but Ashrie

It was a peaceful day because the Coronation had just ended. Supposed to be. Yet a panicking, loud knock was heard outside Ashriel’s office. “Your Highness!” Raith hurriedly entered her office and knelt in front of Ashriel, panicking. “T-The Quislings tried to attack the guards of the third gate of Austere,” Raith reported, catching his own breath. Olive and Nathan’s eyes widened, and they glanced at Ashriel, who was stunned. “What-“ “Your Highness!” Their eyes transferred from Raith to Oriana and Leon, who dashed inside the office. “The First Division Air Forces reported that multiple missiles were released to the second gate of Austere. They managed to counterattack and destroy the missiles it but the fallen parts affected some place-“

After Torry left, the place became colder. Ashriel's breath became unstable as Nathan looked at her seriously. For a moment, she did not speak. She refused to talk. "Ashriel," Nathan said. He only calls her that whenever he is dead serious. "What is it?" Ashriel gulped and bit her lower lip. Nathan felt his chest beat faster in nervousness. "Don't make me this nervous, Ash." He faked a laugh, but Ashriel remained silent. Ashriel put the unity dagger back to its case, and Nathan's eyes caught the old notebooks. "What are those?" "Granny's diaries." She whispered with a small smile. But Nathan's smile faded. "Mission," He said, hoping his hunch was wrong. In his terror, Ashriel nodded slowly. "What kind of mission?" He stepped forwards, but Ashriel remained silent. "When?" He aske

“Y-Your Highness! Please, have mercy on me!” The man covered in dirt and blood pleaded while kneeling in front of Meredith. Meredith’s eyes transferred from him to the woman and two children who were crying at the edge of the room. It was the man’s family. “P-Please, Your Highness!” The woman pleaded with her broken voice and Meredith felt sympathy for them. “You’re a noble yet you dared to betray the Empire.” Meredith looked at the man. “Since you have two little children, I’ll show you mercy.” She said. Meredith’s husband, Valor, looked at her with wide eyes and aimed to speak, but Meredith motioned her hand. “But the law is the law. Take off his ring.” Meredith’s cold voice and words pierced the man, and he went berserk. Taking off his rings means stripping his noble title and exiling them from the city. No more wealth, supplies, and power.

Ashriel took a deep breath before reaching for the box and opening it, revealing Meredith’s old notebooks and letters. The smell of the old papers made her nostalgic. She took the piled vintage envelopes at the very top. The letter was addressed to her. “Your handwriting really is beautiful, Granny.” She whispered and opened the letter. Tears started to form in the corner of her eyes as she read the first few words. Ashriel, my dear granddaughter, as you read this letter, I want you to know how much I’m proud of you. I may not be beside you as you do your duties, make the right decisions, fight, cry, laugh, and celebrate victories, but you said before that I am always in your heart, and so, I hold unto that. As the Former Ruler, I want to apologize for putting you in a tight spot and loa

Two months had passed since Ashriel announced her mission to everyone. Since then, almost everyone has lost their appetite for doing their jobs. Ashriel went to the Cadre’s secret place and faced the breathtaking view of the ocean. The water glittered because of the algae, and the buzz of the insects was like a piece of soft music. It felt magical. “I’ll miss this place,” Ashriel whispered and walked towards the biggest tree below the small hill. “But I’ll miss you more, of course.” She smiled. “I’m leaving tomorrow, so come out now.” She stopped, and her smile widened when a big figure came out from behind the tree. “Carsillion.” Ashriel walked closer and held Nathan’s hand, but he quickly grabbed her shoulders and pulled her down on the ground. Ashriel remained calm, but then her eyes widened when Nathan

“Boss, you okay?” Olive asked and handed Ashriel a coffee. They had been flying for eight hours now, and the clouds were getting thicker. “Want to change position?” “Yes,” Ashriel answered and shifted position with Olive. Olive heard the small sound of Ashriel’s bones as she stretched her body. “I didn’t have the chance to stretch today. My body felt stiff.” She said with a hoarse voice as her hands reached for both of her feet. Olive chuckled. “Boss, can I ask?” “Hmm?” “How did you managed to let the First General allow you? I mean, he knows that we are going to the boundary of Kauis and the Seiron Kingdom, right? He knows how dangerous this mission is.” Olive asked carefully. Ashriel sat besi

Leon took Oriana to the Noble’s Cemetery where Aparctias nobles were buried and her eyes widened upon seeing her mother and father’s name carved to two of the gravestones. So that’s why she couldn’t find her parent’s corpses in the Atherton grave because they were buried in the Noble’s Cemetery. “Mom… Dad…” Oriana whispered, holding back her tears. “I missed you… so much.” Leon knelt in front of them and placed two bouquets of white lilies. He smiled and put another bouquet to his father’s grave beside them. “Dad, look. She’s my beautiful girlfriend and the future mistress of House Norton.” He said proudly, making Oriana flushed. She quickly wiped her tears away and Leon then looked at the Athertons. “I’m sorry for putting your precious daughter in harm's way.” He said and brushed their names with his palm. “C-Colonel, you don’t have to apologize. It’s my job after all.” She stuttered. “I’m not talking to you.” “Sorry.” Leon cleared his throat. “But I just want to thank you
La Elora; Vengeance & Lenience CHAPTER 96 - GRAVE OF THE FALLEN
They won and the Quislings were completely eradicated. Ashriel stood in front of every soldier who fought and behind her were the fallen. “Behind me were the people who lost their time. In front of me are the people who still have time.” She started. “Throughout the whole war I learned a lot. One of those is to value every moment you have with the person you love.” She glanced at Valor and Emmette who were smiling proudly. “And to follow your dreams. But following your dreams requires sacrifices.” “From now on, the whole Two Great Empires will have new rules and systems. People will have a new life. New chances. Everyone who died gave their lives for all of us to live. Therefore let us fulfill that and starting today, let us value life.” It was a mass burial and the whole Austere was showered with white flowers. Even the graves of the fallen were filled with white roses and lilies, and varieties of white flowers. After the mass burial, the first Rank Nobles and the Elders liv
La Elora; Vengeance & Lenience CHAPTER 95 - DON’T LEAVE US
Ashriel glanced at the small child sleeping comfortably under the baby’s incubator. He was so small and so lovely and so… fragile. She clenched Amber’s locket and another tear escaped her eyes. She just lost her twin. She held her tummy while looking at Jasper. “I promise… all of you will live comfortably and safely. I promise…” She whispered and bit her lower lip. She sighed deeply.On the other hand, Donovan found Oriana in the airbase, giving orders to her troops. His eyes dimmed.“Attack the base.” With his cue, hundreds of his men attacked the air base. Oriana was alarmed with the sudden attack.“How the hell did they entered?!” She grinned her teeth and took her gun. She turned back and was about to command her men to attack when she felt something warm covered her. She completely knew who it was. “Don’t worry about that fool and focus on your part.” Leon whispered, tightening his hug to her shoulders. Oriana flushed but then shook her head. It’s not the right time and place
La Elora; Vengeance & Lenience CHAPTER 94 - LAST WAR
Everyone gathered as Ashriel gave her words. “I might have no chance of telling this soon therefore I want all of you to know how thankful I am, as your Leader, with everything you contributed. It’s my honor to lead all of you.” Her eyes looked at the countless armies filling the whole Austere. She smiled. “Let’s win this battle.” “Long live the Ruler!” “Long live the Ruler!” “May light be upon Theupholis and La Elora family!” The armies roared and cheered, strengthening each other. Ashriel turned to her Cadre behind her and smiled. “Let’s see each other again.” They nodded and with one final hug, everyone departed to their positions. But before Nathan left, Ashriel grabbed his hand and kissed him dearly to which Nathan quickly responded. They broke the kiss and Nathan kissed her forehead. “Promise me you’ll come back alive.” Ashriel whispered and Nathan pecked her lips. “I will. Let’s see each other after this.” Ashriel nodded and they went on their way. After armi
La Elora; Vengeance & Lenience CHAPTER 93 - RED POPPY
The dripping blood from Xieaniel’s back keeps on repeating in her mind. Olive was still lost in her thoughts when she felt something cold touched her shoulder making her jump from her seat. “S-Sorry, Lady. I didn’t mean to frighten you.” Said Oriana who drew her hand back. Olive sighed and held her head before shaking it. “No, I’m not frightened at all.” She reasoned out. “And stop addressing me ‘Lady’ since we’re sisters.” Oriana stopped for a moment before letting out a faint chuckle. “Yeah. Sisters.” They stopped and Olive pulled Oriana behind her when the door opened, revealing the three bastards. Olive never lowered her guard ever since she worked with them since a snake will always be a snake. “You didn’t kill her but that’s okay since I knew we would sooner or later.” Edom greeted and pushed the things from Olive’s table, shattering some glasses to pieces. Olive rolled her eyes. Oriana observed Edom carefully. She heard a lot of rumors and stories about him but she ne
La Elora; Vengeance & Lenience CHAPTER 92 - REBELLION
Elias woke up with the sound of his phone beside him. He quickly picked it up and saw one of his men's names. He stood up and glanced at Siel who was still lying on her bed. It was four in the morning. “What?” “Sir, you’re brother planning on ambushing and killing nobles.” Elias’s eyes widened. “WHAT?!” Siel flinched and her body quickly stood up without any delay. She just came back from Ashriel’s wedding and was tired from all the swaps she made with Ashriel. “I think you must call Siel back, Sir. Or else she’ll be in danger.” Elias eyebrows frown. “What? What do you mean?” “I saw her entering Austere a moment ago, Sir. But since I couldn’t enter the city, I was not able to warn her.” Elias froze for a moment and glanced at Siel who was alarmed. “Are you sure?” “A hundred percent, Sir.” “Very well. I’ll fetch her myself then.” Elias ended the call and before Siel could ever move, Elias pointed his gun at her. “Who are you?” He asked with his crisp voice. Siel tossed h
La Elora; Vengeance & Lenience CHAPTER 91 - TWINS
“YOUR HIGHNESS!” “BOSS!” Everyone exclaimed and tears flooded the whole Meeting Hall aside from the La Elora family. As soon as the wedding ceremony and celebration ended, The First Rank Nobles gathered in the Meeting Hall. It was 3 a.m. in the morning yet sleepiness had no inch to them at all. “Boss, I-I thought you’re already-” Leon stopped when Ashriel embraced him and Oriana, patting their backs. She looked at her remaining Cadre and with her cue, everyone ran to embrace her. “Y-Your Highness, please, don’t ever do that again. EVER.” Kate pleaded followed by Raith and the rest. “It’s part of Granny’s plan.” “But why?” “For everyone’s growth, sometimes the Leader must disappear.” “I don’t like that word.” Tory blurted out. “You knew everything, Bud?” Nathan asked Natsuki while the others coped up with Ashriel. Natsuki laughed. “Only yesterday, Bud. All of us were bemused you know.” “Now I understand why Gil and Bri like her so much. She was their aunt after all.” V
La Elora; Vengeance & Lenience CHAPTER 90 - WEDDING OF THE CENTURY
It’s been two months since Siel showed up and since then, they were all staying at Thrascias Empire. Olive was in total turmoil and the whole First Rank suddenly hyped and motivated since they now have a clear path to take and actions to make. No more walking in darkness and critical investigations. “Tell us about Seiron.” Venice commanded and Siel nodded. “It was totally different compared to the past. Its glory all faded.”“I see. The last time I went there was almost a decade ago.” Siel gave Xieaniel a flash drive which he quickly scanned and presented. The Hall dimmed and they all focused on the huge screen.“Taking pictures there was quite hard.” Siel mumbled and glanced at Olive who was grinding her teeth. The Elders who used to go there also have faces no one can paint. “This was the place they now called, “The Small Village of Fear.” Siel said and hearing the name, Kate’s face soured. “It was the only way through the main city and going to the base. This village is proof
La Elora; Vengeance & Lenience CHAPTER 89 - CONFRONTATION
Her body felt warmer and the coldness from the bathtub she experienced finally felt unknown, as if nothing happened. But she knew something happened. Something unexpected. She opened her eyes with the sound of the door that slid open and footsteps getting closer to her. She saw a man’s broad shoulder and firm back. It was Leon. Suddenly, Luis’ words suddenly crept into her mind. “And our parents died… Because of his father.”Oriana’s heart suddenly ached. Her beloved parents died and she hasn't even seen their bodies since the Great Bloodshed, their house fell, their reputation was destroyed and she was treated like a pest. Everything was because of two persons; Ashriel and Leon’s father. Anger started to cover her heart.“You’re awake? Thank God!” Her creased brow ironed when her eyes met Leon’s worried eyes. He quickly dashed towards her and cupped her hand and face.“Are you alright? Feeling any hurt? Are you hungry? What do you need? Tell me, please.” He bombarded her, full of
