POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 21: Official Zhulm
Lixien didn’t know how to respond to him for a bit. Official Zhulm was someone she detested and up until now, she could only wish that she didn’t encounter him. From that day, her desire to kill him had only increased.
As one of her father’s friends, she thought that Official Zhulm will stay by her father’s side until both of them died, but he betrayed him by informing the former Crown Prince, Vailan Saahar, about the said treason they were planning about.
She knew that she should be respecting him by keeping loyal to the kingdom, but who knows what his schemes are? Lixien knew what kind of person Official Zhulm.
He informed Vailn
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 22: LOYALTY Her aura was terrifying that even Leen trembled from fear. ‘Is this what the former scary Duchess Vanhi looked like?’ Those who were shamelessly fighting quickly got into their knees and knelt down in front of her. They didn’t know that the scary Lixien was here again. They were once there when the Duchess Vanhi helped in defeating the legendary dragon. They witnessed how powerful and how her powers can kill anyone with one swift snap of fingers. She is also one of the sword masters which is enough proof that her skills can’t be belittled, and no one must be on her bad side, otherwise, they’d see the hell sooner than their fated time. They were trembling but were also in awe when they felt the calming and like soft power circulating around her body. The golden and red flames that circled her body made her immensely powerful and almighty in front of the soldiers. Lixien put off the fire and looked at them, standing elegantly as if the hor
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 23: The Sword's Identity Lixien closed her eyes and felt that her head was throbbing. How can he be so sure about his words? He really means it! But… from seven mountains?! She then grabbed the sword hastily from Leen’s hand and stared at the features of the sword. The sword from the seven mountains. She really needs to thank her husband for this. She trailed the blade of the sword with her fingers and Leen approached her with her worried eyes. “Your Majesty, please don’t do that. Your fingers might get stabbed.” Leen stared at the sharp
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 24 ‘Unending loyalty?’ Lixien frowned. No, Vailan was the one who sent me this sword. Wait, how does he know that I desire this sword badly? As I was remembering the time when I mentioned to him that I love to have this sword, I was reminded of it five years ago. I slightly lifted my head up and recalled what happened that time. “Hello, Your Grace.” Since I was a mere daughter of the Vanhi, I had a rare chance where I had the chance to see or meet and on top of that, to talk with him. There was this one time we talked. I didn’t know what exactly happened back then on why we started talking about things we’d like to acquire. We really aren’t strangers to each other considering that they talk whenever he visits my father before. But those were all rare moments. It doesn’t really mean much. He sat a bit far from Lixien and she bewilderedly looked at him, who suddenly popped out of nowhere. Lixien hastily stood up and bowed at him. “Ah, Your Grac
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 25: A tear on a withered flower under the changing seasonIt was again another day for the both of them. Lixien woke up first this time and gently poke Vailan’s arm to wake him up. He was the one who suggested for her to hug him, but it turned out that he’d have a better sleep than her. Well, it doesn’t matter, as long as he had a good sleep.Vaialn put his arm over his eyes and groggily sat up, putting his nightgown intact on his shoulders. He turned to Lixien and asked her with a lot of consideration. “Did you have a good sleep?”“Hmm. How about you? From the looks of it, you had an incredible sleep last night.”He nodded without hesitation and smiled at her, revealing the secret of why he slept well. “It’s because of your warmth. Thank you.”Lixien nodded and stood up. Vailan wore his sleepers and approached her, reaching his hands on her tangled tie which kept her nightgown tight on her waist. He looked so calm while she was a bit stunned at what h
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 26: OF A TIRING DAYLixien sighed and smiled at Ireane for informing her and Ireane just bowed her head in politeness. Leen opened the door for her, and Rin bowed with his hand on his chest. “Your Majesty. I wish you longevity and calmness.”Lixien slightly wore a smile and elegantly but gently said to him. “Alright, rise up and guide me to my office.”She remembered that she would have a lot to do, but first is to invite Dallan to be her lady-in-waiting as soon as possible. Even though she partially gained the trust of her maids, it’s still not guaranteed if they will not side with Official Zhulm if that worse thing happens, besides these maids are the puppet of Vailan. Rin walked unhurriedly while she followed behind with elegance and calmness. Every step she takes enticed every maid she passed by, and she noticed it all. Since it has been revealed that the Emperor makes sure that he doesn’t spend the nights alone but with his empress, it intrigued
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 27: A Lovey-Dovey Fight When night came, Lixien stared into the vase which had the withered flower in it previously. As of now, it was changed into a beautiful, new flower which one couldn’t pinpoint that it was actually changed. When she learned of the embezzlement of money between a duke of the Lhuxia Empire, she was in distress. Did the emperor not notice such an unavoidable issue? No, it’s not possible. How can a man like him be unable to see such a thing? That’s impossible. As she was very concentrated in her thoughts, she didn’t feel that Vailan had come into the room. He held her long hair and caressed it, which made her gasp and looked back, wary. “Why?” He asked worriedly. She relaxed a bit after seeing that it was only him. And to be honest, she has been putting her guards down in this room. How can she be sure that nothing dangerous can happen here? Looking at the man, who probably hates her for having distraught and messy parents, sh
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 28 Lixien suspiciously gazed at Vailan but she was smiling as she was doing so. He held her hand tighter and walked into the narrow passageway. Vailan let out a soft chuckle and told Lixien. “Don’t you think this is quite enjoyable?” Lixien looked up to him and tilted her head, clueless at what he was saying. “I mean, going out in the middle of the night.” She looked at him dumbfoundedly, as if she was blaming her and she was in disbelief. “Weren’t you the one who asked me out? Are you now regretting it?” He giggled and shook his head, leading her out of the passageway and smiling, pointing with his other hand the thing he wanted to show to her. When she followed the direction of his hand, she gasped and covered her mouth with her free hand, smiling brightly when her vision was filled with the fountain. “This is what I want to show you. Is it beautiful?” He looked down at her and was pleased at her reaction. He was expecting that she would be
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 29: TO BE A FAMILY Vailan was the one to wake up first. He rose up from the bed and looked at Lixien, who was already opening her eyes and sat up beside him. “You’re up.” She said and reached out her hand to tidy his hair that was unkempt from sleeping. She chuckled and he sighed. “You made such a mess while sleeping, didn’t you?” She asked again and he giggled. Somehow, they became comfortable with each other, and they didn’t notice it. They felt that their sudden closeness was natural. He laughed and let her fix his hair willingly. “Are you going to banish Duke Lian now?” Lixien pondered about it and lowered her hands. She felt that Vailan was starting to trust her. When did it start? She answered with a smile. “Yes. Will you accompany me?” She asked sincerely and he nodded. The tension between them had changed to cozy. “Of course. Do you want to visit him personally or order him to go here?” Duke Lian is an official with many followers
Point Your Sword To MeChapter 66: Children in the SlumsLixien faintly smiled at Vailan, sipping the Jasmine tea given by Leen, and left the room. On the other hand, Dallan and Miles glanced at each other rather awkwardly and cleared their throats. Vailan gazed at the two standing figures of Dallan and Miles before heaving a deep exhalation and lowering his gaze toward Lixien.“I wonder why you’re here all of a sudden?”Lixien arched her lips, “Can I not be here?”Vailan shook his head, “That’s not what I meant. I am just surprised you are coming over. It must be regarding something serious. Tell me, are you going to the slums?”Lixien unhurriedly placed the teacup on her desk, confusedly staring at Vailan who knew it before they had come here. She glanced back at Miles who shrugged his shoulders, unguilty. She sighed and nodded her head with reluctance.“… That’s right. We want to go to the slums to know the situation there. Who knows what kind of evil tactics are being created?”Va
Point Your Sword To Me Chapter 65: Dark Magic Lixien glanced at Leen, who was happily grinning at her as though she had just won a prize from the biggest competition of the year. Leen’s gaze was unsettling, so she folded her book with a deep sigh and then stared questioningly. Leen cleared her throat, simply asking in a meek voice. “Your Majesty,” she smiled, “How was the trip with… His Majesty?” Lixien could tell what she wanted to know without her asking. But she still responded with a faint smile on her face, “It was all right. We saw and experienced a lot of things.” She clasped her hands together as her eyes sparkled with curiosity and enthusiasm. “W-what kind of things did you experience? I want to know!” Lixien laughed at her, “You,” she pointed at her, “You should be more mindful of your own life. Besides, you’ll know these things once you get married.” With a wink, she rose from her seat and found Dallan running in haste. It had been only a day since they returned but
Point Your Sword To MeChapter 64: ReturnedVailan glanced at Lixien then beamed at her. The carriage from the Palace was sent here to give them a comfortable ride back there. The carriage didn’t have the crest of the Imperial Family as it’d give them unnecessary attention while on the way and if that happened, they might be late for their homecoming. While they were away, the people there were the ones dealing with their work so Vailan still felt uneasy.It was not because he didn’t trust his comrades but as the Emperor, he had several matters to tend to usually so the sudden halt of occupying his time gave him quite a toll. He enjoyed his time with Lixien but with the Prime Minister still alive, he wasn’t sure if he’d take that much of happiness only to return with sorrow. The prime Minister seemed to be quiet these days, so he felt wary that the moment they arrive, he’d attack them mercilessly.Vailan only wanted to make things better and more peaceful. If there were evil officials
Point Your Sword To MeChapter 63: Not Off The Hook TonightLixien smiled at Vailan and joked to him, “Vailan, I didn’t know you could be this handsome. Why are you working out while we’re on our honeymoon?”Surely enough, Vailan who felt threatened because of the beast’s appearance has begun to work out, building more muscles than he already had. Although she felt blessed to see his bare upper body while working out, she also couldn’t help but feel that he was tired of her. She smacked both of her lips and looked at him in dissatisfaction.She wore this sexy lingerie for him, but he also hadn’t taken a look at her, noticeably not wanting to look at her. On the other hand, Vailan wanted to make love with her however he felt that the beast’s appearance might not be just as simple as it seems, so he just worked out of instinct.“The beast’s appearance might not be as simple as I may think. I didn’t want to spoil the mood but ever since seeing that beast, I feel like I’d have nightmares
Point Your Sword To MeChapter 62: The Sun and The MoonLike what he said, Vailan really did clean everything. She didn’t know that the emperor of the reign would be this competent in this aspect, despite that he appeared to have no skills, he was actually a good man, and a person. The first time they met as the Duchess and the Emperor, Lixien felt this numbing threat that could take one’s life in an instant.And to see that the very person who did that to her was the one who was now showcasing his cooking and cleaning skills, she couldn’t hide a smile creeping on her face. Not wanting her smile to be seen by him, she shifted her eyes from his hands and foolishly yet secretly smiled.Vailan casted her a glance, then approached her, extending his hands towards her. “Come.”She blinked her eyes at him, “… Weren’t you supposed to do it alone?”A laughter was released afterwards of her words, “Two is better than one, wife. I want to show you how cleaning can also be enjoyed. Have you neve
Chapter 61: Not Bored and FrustratedThe next day, Vailan woke up first and was greeted by his endearing wife who was soundly asleep on his arm. Now that he remembers, his arm felt numb, silently wincing because of the pain it brought. However, of course, seeing that his wife was peacefully sleeping after he pestered her all night, it’s only right for her to punish him like this.He exhaled deeply, patting her bare back which caused Lixien to wake up. She blinked her eyes and slightly yawned while looking at his sweet gaze on her. She giggled and hugged him,“Did you sleep well?”He nodded his head, “I did. Thanks to you.”She jokingly hit him and said, “You’re such a naughty man.”Vailan merrily laughed, holding his wife on top of his chest, and showering her forehead with kisses. “Let’s eat some of the fruits given to us, how about that?”“Why not? Let’s taste them.”He brushed his hair with his hand, “I still don’t want to get up when you’re next to me. Let’s not eat first.”She ti
Chapter 60: Drown In Heat Rin became reluctant to let go of the empress and the emperor once they settled and promised that they’d be back after a few meaningful days of vacation. Besides of that, Rin was also given the mission to find out whoever En was, and if confirmed that it was Lixien, he’d be the happiest man in the world. Otherwise, it’s fine. People come and go, he learned something from En, and the other way around. People introduce themselves to offer new knowledge, to even influence them to like things they originally didn’t like. Vailan softly led the carriage with his wife inside the carriage. No one knew the emperor’s face once outside the capital so they should be fine. He was so happy to be able to have a vacation like this, especially with Lixien. Rin had been pushing them to have this and now that they were on the way, he felt delighted and would definitely seize every day that passes. The journey was smooth and they encountered people who willingly gave them frui
Point Your Sword To Me Chapter 59: Beyond the Sky Vailan, who was left alone in his office, pondered for a long while until he grunted. Since Hina and her family had been imprisoned, he should be feeling a little bit well, but his worries grew each day that passed. Of course, he loved Lixien but there was something in her that didn’t quite sit well with him. He momentarily witnessed how Lixien fought with Hina and strangely enough, her techniques were likely as En and he couldn’t remove thinking the possibility of En being Lixien. He didn’t want to doubt but everything appeared to be a question whether and the possibility that both of them were simply hiding it from each other. He wanted to come clean, yet he also is not trusting that Lixien would understand him, especially when they had just given themselves to each other. Vailan motioned to Rin who nodded at him, urging him to speak freely. Vailan frowned, pursing his lips while tapping the desk, “What is the possibility that Lix
Chapter 58: Cross the Drawn Line After her parents died, she felt dejectedly alone, she even assumed her heart’s coldness would prolong not until she met Hux who proved to her that she was wrong all along. If everything had gone in her way, she would have long married Hux and not the Emperor but since life was different, she had to give up that dream and obey the decree that was given to her. She didn’t like him at first but that changed because he was attentive to her, smiled at her, and even pecked her. He was the one, aside from Hux, that made her heart go crazy that she found herself wanting for more. Then again, Vailan threatened her that if she were to do something awful to his people, he’d kill her without hesitation. Despite that she doesn’t harbor such thoughts, she was still hurt. However, not knowing, she had actually fallen for him so deep that she had forgotten Hux, who somehow resembled the Emperor. But maybe… If they were allowed to love, maybe… “Vailan, I…” She clu
