"I've spoken to them, and they have promised not to interfere with any more merchant ships through the Cold Blue Ocean," Liam's report to the Old Duke sounded short and concise.
The Old Duke frowned suspiciously, and Harriet widened her eyes in surprise.
“Milord, y-you went to the Northern Mountains? What were you thinking?” Harriet felt her hand tremble, but Liam quickly grabbed her hand gently. The man looked straight at the Old Duke.
"What were you doing there to make them willing to give us access?" asked the Old Duke.
“I gave a light warning,” Liam explained honestly. He was only giving a warning and Alban promised to make strict rules according to his words.
“I don't understand… why do you always keep something from me…?” the Old Duke grumbled softly. "Okay. Let's do the coronation right away. I have already ordered everyone to prepare for the event.”

The coronation of the new Duke and Duchess took place that night, on a full moon night in the middle of summer. The cloudless sky was dotted with stars and a giant moon in the center of the sky was a brilliant cold blue. The Duke and Duchess Coronation Party was usually a once-in-a-lifetime event. Alpha had a long lifespan, so the coronation of a new Duke and Duchess could only happen once every 100 years, or even more. Zaha Serpentes stood on the side of the road filled with visitors from all over the Northern lands. He was wearing a simple robe and northern clothes that were neat and of fairly good quality, like the ones he had worn when he met Harriet and Arai a few days ago. Behind his right and left, Yesha and Yelan stood guarding him, making sure no one dared to pickpocket or do anything to Zaha in this crowd. Zaha had a fairly tall body, but when compared to the Northerners, his height
In Zaha's dreams… everything looked red. The sun stopped in the west, fixed, and would not set as long as he was trapped in the dream. The ground was red with bloodstains, and the smell of burning flesh wafted through the air. Fire. It burned everything, and the cries of women and children could be heard in all directions. It was then that Zaha refocused on what was happening in front of him. The giant White Wolf had passed far away, walking steadily towards the square. And that was when Zaha saw Arai across the street, watching the procession in awe while smiling widely with happiness and pride at her best friend. In his dream, Arai stood before him, protecting him in the midst of chaos. Zaha looked sadly at the woman. This time, it was he who would protect her. Liam and Harriet arrived at the city roundabout, where the Old Duke was already standing, waiting for them.
Two days later, Abby saw that the big house across the street had finally been done renovating. And in the afternoon, a simple horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of the house. Abby sighed. She glanced at Molly who was still feverish and shivering on the couch. Why is she so unlucky? If people found out Molly had measles, everyone would start quarantining her house and she wouldn't be able to go to work. She didn't want to call a doctor, it would be very expensive. So she started to make a decision. She went over to Molly and was grateful that she herself had had a measles-preventing potion before, so she wouldn't catch it easily. Measles was now less dangerous than it was a hundred years ago, when no proper medicine was found to prevent it, and because now human immunity to measles was already quite high. It was also thanks to the doctors who cooperated with the Alch
CRASH!Yesha blinked in surprise.He heard an incoherent scream from inside the house moments after he knocked on their new neighbor's door. He furrowed his brows for a moment, unsure of what to do.He had only been asked to deliver cakes for their new neighbors after he, Yelan, Prince Zaha Serpentes, and the Ducal Couple of Almandine moved across the street."Hello?! Are you okay inside?" Yesha tried to knock on the door one more time, and he put the cake plate on the floor as he started trying to break in.Yesha had received training from Zaha to be alert in emergencies as a medical practitioner. What he heard inside sounded like an emergency, so he felt he had to barge inside."Excuse me! I'll break in, okay?!" Yesha began to push the locked door and broke in.THUD! THUD! THUD! CRASH!COUGH! COUGH-COUGH!&nb
Two weeks passed.Slowly, Molly's body became healthier every day. And somehow Molly felt she had never been this healthy before.Maybe because every day she ate delicious food from the neighbor across the street? Or… because she now slept eight hours a day? She didn't know.However, sadness still lingered in her heart when she realized that no matter how long she waited, Abby never came back. It was the only thing that made her feel like she didn't want to move on.Now she was alone and abandoned. In this world, there was nothing else she had. How would she live?TAP!Someone suddenly put a medicine bottle on the bedside table. When Molly looked up she saw Yesha turning away.That young boy was the boy who found her two weeks ago. She just found out… that his name was Yesha.He was quiet, often sighed t
“I… I can sell this house…” Molly said.Harriet raised her eyebrows. “Mm-hm, and what is the money for?” she asked."I want to open a business and ... raise a lot of money, Then ... I want to find my sister," Molly explained then.Harriet felt a sting in her chest. Molly only had her sister, and she didn't want to be abandoned by the only family she had, no matter how cruel that family had been to her. She felt she had something in common with Molly.She remembered her own mother, Helena.After all, that woman was the woman who raised her. Her little heart couldn't kill her and she still didn't want to be left behind by her."Okay. How about this," Harriet took Molly's hand and pulled it into her lap. "I'll buy this house and give you the money in cash."Molly blinked, her eyes sparkling with anticipa
Liam's body's biggest problem was that he had lost his heart, but that wasn't the only thing that made it impossible for him to recover.One of the problems was that he had been hit by Sorcery 70 years ago, and was added a few months ago. Even though it wasn't as big of a problem as Liam's missing heart, still, it was quite a troublesome matter.Liam also couldn't accept conventional treatments to nullify the long-term effects of Sorcery. The body of a Being of Darkness could not receive the purification and healing power of a Saintess.And the main problem was, that all healing methods would not be effective for Liam.Healing magic art with artificial spirit making and summoning would not be effective as it had as much Holy Power as the energy of a Saintess.Alchemy could only ward off Sorcery and could not purify it… And in the history of the world, no Lycan had ever bee
[Three weeks ago] After the procession of the coronation of the Duke and Duchess, Arai intended to return to the South. She had seen her best friend doing alright. Harriet had even received a new title as Duchess and had found ways to try to treat her husband's illness. They said they were going to go East to Obsidian Port City, disguised as a common couple. Arai felt that her presence here was no longer needed. She was about to turn her boots back into the castle to get her things when she saw Zaha standing across the street, in the crowd, looking straight at her. Why did he keep showing up? He had apologized many times and said he didn't mean to follow her… but considering how often they met, didn't he feel more like a stalker as of now? Arai secretly sighed. Did the man use his ability to read the future to 'accidentally' meet her? But why?
It was about a week later at night... that Harriet was finally tired of waiting.Liam had been gone for a week now, and no matter what she did, he wouldn’t come home. Could it be that... it was because of Mr. Saturday?She couldn’t reach out to his mind. She couldn’t even hear his voice. This was the first time Liam was gone by his own choice without saying anything to her.At first, she was okay with it. It was okay if he needed some space. It would be okay if he said at least something to her. Just a little mental note...But he didn’t.He went cold, just like that.So it was time for her to be creative.He refused to heed her call, closing all kinds of communication that existed within their mind... then the only resort was to call him through his body.“Mmmh...”She slipped her fingers inside herself. She let out a sigh as she tickled her inside, her eyes closing in ecstasy. The so
“You have to squeeze me hard, or I won’t come.”She nodded in understanding, holding his throbbing cock against her palm. He shivered when she wrapped her fingers around it, squeezing it firmly, making sure he was fully aroused.“Ohhhh... squeeze harder. Give me just a little bit more strength, my love.”She squeezed him even tighter, and he cried out loudly, his voice echoing through the room. Even though he scared her, she kept pushing further, trying to breathe in unison with him.His waist moved against her hand, thrusting into her grip. His muscles tensed, and he groaned loudly. Her hand felt sore, but his dick looked desperately more stiff than usual.“AHHHH!”In an instant, his legs buckled, and he fell onto her, throwing her off balance. She tumbled to the ground, landing heavily on the floor.When she glanced up, the beast had been released from its chain. He grinned at her.&l
“In my memory, that side of the world was tainted by the use of Sorcery. That’s why we have to purify it with holy fire,” Mr. Thursday said as he pointed to the east.When they were burning the world, it was in a literal sense. They were burning the world, turning the effect of Sorcery on the earth to ashes. They spared nothing, no one, no witnesses.They were determined to let the world start anew.“And at the far east, where you can see it from here, is where the holy fire was never exhausted because too much curse of Sorcery needed to be burned,” the man said.“That much destruction was possible?” Harriet asked, and the man nodded.“In a way, your timeline was the best-case scenario. Ezra’s sacrifice had not only saved us but also our future generations,” the man said.“You sacrificed yourself too,” Harriet reminded.“Not me, but your husband...”
Her body was battered blue, but he didn’t know why it turned him on even more. No, he wasn’t a sadist, thus why he wanted to fondle her gentler than ever.He licked her clitoris, soft. He played it with his lips...slowly, gently. He kissed the tip of her pink bud. His fingers moved inside her, massaging her g-spot softly.She moaned as she felt him go deeper into her slit. His thick fingers created a lewd wet sound, making her so horny that it made her want to grab his hair and pull hard. She didn’t, though, because she liked this slow game. She let him do what he wanted with her body.The man parted her pussy, slowly pulling out his fingers and inserting them again in their place. Her vagina felt like heaven to him. It was warm, tender, and so wet. He could feel how excited she was by the way her walls tightened around his thick digits.He wanted to add another finger, but not yet. Make it even slower... more intense. She would love tha
“Are you awake?”Harriet’s eyes slowly opened. She smelled a delicious aroma. When she looked around her room, she saw a lot of delicious-looking dishes.And Liam sat on the other side of the room, staring at her with his arms crossed in front of his chest.“Come here and eat,” he said, inviting her.The morning sun lazily peeked through the window, casting a warm glow over the room. A soft breeze blew through, rustling the curtains and sending the scent of blooming flowers wafting inside.The table was set with an array of delicious dishes, their mouth-watering aroma wafting through the air.They sat beside each other, their fingers intertwined on the table. Their eyes were fixed on the spread before them, but... there was a subtle sadness in Mr. Wednesday’s eyes.It was a quiet melancholy that settled around him like a cloak, casting a shadow over the brightness of the morning. The woman noticed i
“Harriet... I love you...”THRUST! THRUT! THRUST!“I want to marry you... making you happy... but instead I... I can’t save you...”“I’m sorry...”Harriet gasped and moaned as she heard his whisper in her ears. She didn’t like this at all. “Mr... Monday... how dare you... say all this... when we’re in the middle of... mmmh...! Oh... kiss me, Liam...!”The man devoured her lips as her body spasmed, her limbs clutched into his body desperately.The night had deepened. It was almost midnight, and they hadn’t finished their activity. It was a good decision to let the servants empty the wing.Since their tower hadn’t been rebuilt yet, they had to use a normal bedroom, and the place was a bit close to the working servants...“Don’t you dare pull out again. Put your seed inside me, Liam,” Harriet whispered.“Is this how y
Harriet passed out the moment her head hit the pillow. These days had been too hectic for her; she didn’t even have time to rest properly.When the sunlight hit her eyes that morning, she felt something blocking them to let her rest more. And then, she smelled it. Only one man in this world could give a scent of the sun.He was like the beginning of summer right after the spring ended. Not even the night could hide this kind of scent... even though Harriet instantly felt something different.It was too distant.Her eyelids trembled open. She was expecting to see him lying facing her, but she was met with his back instead.He was awake.He was even awake since midnight. When he opened his eyes, he was there, not knowing what had happened or what to do. But when the sunlight hit her frail-looking body, he was afraid it would disturb her sleep, so he covered her from the sun.That was when he felt her small fingers grazing his back
[Hello, my name is Charmy.]Penelope’s jaw was still hanging open.[I’m 5.]Penelope stared at Heinrich in disbelief.“So, this is Charmaine. He’s... he’s the stone I made five... almost six years ago to become an Immortal Archmage,” Heinrich said.Penelope still couldn’t comprehend anything.“Okay, mine and the Duchess’ working theory is that when we create the Philosopher’s Stone, the mythical balance is achieved, and a new soul is created from it...”“No, Your Highness, what I was surprised about is... why did he call me his... Mommy?” Penelope seriously asked.“Well, this...” Heinrich tried to think of a way to explain it.[Mommy, you mean. I was cheering for you allllll the time! I’m screeeeaming for Daddy to just see you and be with you!]“He chose you as his master. That night at the North, he... essentiall
“It seemed that we’ve all concluded all we know about the stone. With the help of the communication device I created, we will be able to discuss with your stone to create the ideal society we’ve talked about,” Harriet said as she concluded their talk.She only conveyed her discovery about the stone but also theorized about what had happened to each stone.“Now that you’ve become a Lycan, Aslan, you have double the responsibility to uphold. Don’t disappoint us,” Harriet said.Aslan stood and kneeled, bowing his head low. “I won’t disappoint you, God and Goddess.”After Aslan left, Harriet turned back to Heinrich. He was clearly deep in thought.“Do you have something you want to ask your stone again?” Harriet asked him.Heinrich sighed and started to loosen his tout posture. “Actually, may I borrow the device for a day?”Harriet held her smile and
