POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER NINE: FLASHBACK
Lixien blinked her eyes. Lyla… is definitely a snake.
Lixien was taken aback and stared at Lyla with her dark eyes.
~ Three years ago, officials turned their backs against the Lhuxia Empire.
The things in the Palace were getting tense. Due to the Crown prince’s unknown return, people had said their opinions and even said that he might have died.
Fredlscht, the empire where the Crown Prince was battling with for over five months now. He said that he would definitely win the war after a few months, but it had been over five months and his return was still uncertain.
Officials that time were already planning on how they would execute their treason and how they would throw the Imperial Family away from their positions.
Since the Crown Prince hadn’t come back, officials ha
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 10: SICK Vai touched his forehead and held Lixien’s falling hand. “Lixien?” Calling her gently, she weakly opened her slightly and turned to him. He was very worried so he patted her head. “Where does it hurt? Tell me.” He wanted to know where it hurts so he could vanish it away and make her feel better. With his frowning face, he felt that the hand he was holding held his hand tightly and was crying when she was saying. “I-it hurts… everywhere…” She couldn’t construct her words and needed time to finish what she wanted to tell him. At this moment, she had no one to rely on except him. She cried desperately feeling that her whole body trembled in fear. In the past, recalling her trauma always
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 11: DON'T GET HURT When Rin’s shoulder had been wrapped with a bandage, Yuta patted his back and told him. “Well, at least now you know that making jokes like that can make him mad. Maybe something ticked his curiosity, so he took a liking to the Empress.” It should be comforting but Rin felt dumb. He was the one who encouraged Vai to care for his wife, which Vai insisted that he wouldn’t, and now scarred his shoulder? That’s so unfair. Rin frowned and touched his temples. He couldn’t believe that Vai, his best friend, betrayed him because of a woman. Or, did Vai actually have feelings from the start? If so, he had been pretending that he didn’t see the Empress in the light of a woman when he was saying that he should take care of her. Rin shook his head lightly and felt his head
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 12: IT WASN'T HIS ARMIt was again another day.Who would have thought that Lixien would sleep strangely good today?She didn’t know that the arm of Vailan would be this warm and she couldn’t help but to hug his arm more, to be precise, she was snuggling.The cat, which was a witness of what was truly happening, licked her paws and purred as she did so. She turned her head to Lixien and blinked her eyes cutely.Vailan, who was wide awake, couldn’t move even an inch and was stiff. He didn’t know how events turned out to be like this. He blinked her eyes blankly and was speechless.He wanted to get up and do his work, but the woman beside him was sound asleep, as if she would wake up later than sooner. He regretfully sighed and looked at her, who was very uncomfortable while sleeping.&nb
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 13: A MEMORY OF SOMEONE SPECIAL Lixien looked at her figure in the mirror and couldn’t help but to be impressed and slightly curved up her lips. She lifted her hands and put up a fire and Ireane and Leen were frightened, stepping back, with their eyes widened. Lixien looked at them and put out the fire. “Ah, you two must have been shocked. You don’t need to worry, I don’t kill undeserving of my powers.” Leen blinked her eyes and felt not comforted at all, in fact, she felt threatened. Ireane gulped her saliva and Lixien only smiled at them. ‘She is… destructively cute!’ Ireane said in her mind and shook her head. “… Y-your Majesty! I didn’t know that… you have such a strong presence of mana!” Leen said, not wanting to be killed instantly in Li
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 14: WHAT TO CALL HIMLixien sighed and replied to Leens’ previous question.“.. Ah, yes. Lead me to His Majesty’s Office.”Leen didn’t notice the changes from her face, and said merrily.“Yes. Please just follow me!”Leen was motivated at the mention of her crush, Bently Victor. The will that was long ago lost, has come again and Leen felt overwhelmed.She smiled radiantly and walked faster than usual.Lixien, who was walking behind Leen, had a bitter smile and inhaled heavily.Remembering Hux made her emotional and somehow couldn't focus while walking.Leen smiled at Lixien first and knocked on the door of the office of Vailan.“Your Majesty, Her Majesty is here.”
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 15: INDESCRIBABLE EMOTIONSLeen was confused about what happened inside but she had no right to ask, thus she stayed silent.Despite the fact that even the Empress said that the Emperor was a scary person, the Empress had a bright smile on her face. It was seemingly the exact opposite of what the Empress told.Leen looked back and shrugged her shoulders.It seemed that even the Emperor couldn’t handle the Empress’s cuteness and had fallen for her at first sight.Leen smiled. She was working here for some time enough to affirm that the Emperor was indeed a frightening person.He had a blank expression every day which made his feelings unreadable. When the Empress came, it was as if the cat tamed the beast too well.The Emperor was cold and a person you wouldn’t want to provoke. A
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 16: PROVOCATIONLixien looked at Leen confusedly and blankly.She was possessed in her thoughts that she didn’t even feel that she was already crying by recalling those sad and broken memories.Like a withered flower, Lixien weakly wiped the tears which were falling fiercely from her eyes.Looking at the tears she wiped on her index finger, she stared and nonchalantly blinked.Leen bowed at her and gave her a handkerchief.“Your Majesty, here is a handkerchief for you.”She didn’t know the reason why Her Majesty suddenly cried. Just minutes ago, she was staring at somewhere she couldn’t pinpoint where. It seemed that the Empress was doing other things and not just staring at the distant flowers from them, sending sweet fragrance.Lixien took the
POINT YOUR SWORD TO ME CHAPTER 17: A LITERAL FAIRYVailan was the first to wake up. He touched his forehead and has eye bags for he didn’t sleep last night because of what he did to Lixien.He thought that he could provoke her and make her show her real colors, but it turned out the opposite way.He couldn’t believe that his desire would be opened up. It was his fault in the first place but what makes him infuriated is that Lixien seemed to be ready whenever he asks for her body.Was she sincere? He didn’t know what her motives were. He knew that putting her as the empress would do no good to him and to his vassals, and that he would have endless doubts about her behaviors.He frowned and glanced at the peaceful Lixien.He reached out to her hair which was covering her right eye and spoke in a gentle voice.“
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
