POINT YOUR SWORD TO MECHAPTER 52:Lixien looked at Vailan, who was sincerely worried about her wellbeing, and she couldn’t believe that he’d be here at this hour. Lixien held his arms and patted them,“I was not hurt at all. I am fine. You don’t have to worry.” She calmly smiled at him which made him a bit less worried but he still couldn’t believe that the woman whom he thought would be a good model to be the Empress will try to kill the Empress!Vailan and Lixien watched as men dragged Hina as she shouted begging for forgiveness, saying that it was her fault, that her emotions got the better of her and she will never do it again. But this crime is not to be ignored and cannot be slipped. When Hina was disappeared and the two were the only ones left in the hat, Vailan looked at Lixien and led her to the seat. As she sat on the seat, Vailan knelt on the floor and she was about
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 53: My Dearest, Stay With Me For the Rest of Our Lives Lixien hadn’t ridden a horse for a long time, so she was very excited. Her eyes were filled with joy he hadn’t seen before so it was really a success that he remembered he could use the horse as his dating excuse. He had asked Yuta for advice on how to make a woman fall for him to which he said be yourself and always know what she wanted. He was very willing to give her what she wanted so it was never a problem for him. When he noticed the look of happiness in her eyes, he couldn’t be happier. It was a successful start! She reached out to the horse and touched its head. The horse recognized his master and leaned on her hand more as if it wanted her to pat him more. She smiled because the horse was still as it was before while Vailan was staring at her, whose smile was wide and evidently happy. He smiled to himself and vowed that he would make her happy. She had suffered for so long and she deserve
POINT YOUR SWORD TO MECHAPTER 54: The PastIn the meeting of the Officials“Official Bredo, what do you think of the Empress?” It was another official, who has lower position than him, asked in a careful and curious manner. Bredo smirked at the question no one has asked him before and was really happy that someone finally notices his hatred towards the Empress. But he tilted his head and said another thing, different from what he was thinking.With a light smile on his face, he opened his mouth and said, “The Empress is a great help the Empire as she was a great swords master. I think His Majesty appointed her as his Empress since she has a great experience and responsibility of ruling and protecting people. She is a very good Empress, to be precise.” He looked at the official who asked him that and the official was amazed as to how he could praise her like he never did to anyone.&
POINT YOUR SWORD TO MECHAPTER 55: Let’s TalkLixien, who was alone in the night remembered something. She had been occupied with matters in the Palace that she forgot someone. Someone whom she really liked. She doesn’t know if she felt the same now that she had feelings for Hux. She felt guilty, she knew. She wanted to make things clear with him. It was truly weighing heavy on her because she has a husband. She thought everything would be fine because there was nothing between them, however, everything seemed to fall down when she starts recalling her past.Revolt, her father, and the people died from the revolt… Everything was just so messed up.She could never swallow her pride to talk to Hux but right now, her pride was not the priority but the things between them. He asked for her hand in marriage, but she rejected him because she had no choice; she had no choice but to deny him. Though at that time she liked him too, she had all the reason to reject him, since the order was from
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 56: ATTEMPT OF ASSASSINATION It had been already five months since being the empress. Lixien had been busy with political affairs. Some were about illegal trafficking, and some were about illegal drugs. After checking on every report from the officials and some were from Miles, she saw how ugly it was in this Capital. It has a façade of tranquility but there were several violations of the law. Thus, she had been occupied with the affairs Vailan had given to her. These two seldom talk and spend time together while making the Palace balanced and at ease. There was a lot of eerie presence lingering around her. She even found a skilled knight stalking her movements so that night, she took the chance to talk to him and to never allow him to speak again. The knight died with his eyes wide-opened, and in shock. His blood drifted out of his chest, as his body began trembling. Lixien coldly looked down on the knight, his bloodied eyes tried to look at Lixien, b
Chapter 57: His Touch and ConvictionVailan draped his suit over Lixien’s almost bare body as Hina was being captured by the knights. Since she had been caught, the Golden Strings of Pain would make her incapable of using her power to anyone, unless Vailan took it off from her. Hina darkly glared at Lixien, who was blankly staring at her, emotionless and hostile.She knew Hina never had good motives towards her, but this clear attempt at murder was just really hard to take, especially when she was skilled enough to trespass on their bedroom. Probably, she got too carried away by Vailan’s affection thus she lowered her guard, thinking that everything wasn’t as bad as she thought. However, it turned out that whatever she did as the Empress of the Empire wasn’t satisfying for everyone, to be precise, it was a means to pull her down from her throne.It was a fact that she married Vailan out of duty, who could actually defy the emperor’s order other than the Empress Dowager? Whereas, that
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
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
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
