“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?
CREAK CREAK CREAK"Hnh! Hmph! Hng!”Liam bit Harriet's neck… sucking on her skin greedily. He tried to control himself because he knew the bed in this house wasn't as strong as the beds in the castle and here they shouldn't make too much noise.He also told himself not to push himself too deep into Harriet. Now, he wanted to be a little more gentle… because he got to practice restraint.But with their current position, he couldn't.He hugged Harriet tightly in his lap on the bed, and her legs wrapped around his waist. He had hoped that this restrictive position would prevent him from moving too much, gently grinding against Harriet's inner walls.But the movement of Harriet's body in his arms made it unbearable. Harriet's scent intoxicated him more quickly with this position, and her plump chest continued to clash against his broad chest.
Today was Molly's third day working for the Golds.She had received payments for her house, and she was quite surprised when she found out they were renovating her house immediately after. Now, every morning, there would be people coming into her house and checking things, repairing anything they deemed needed to be repaired.She could also tell that her work at the Golds’ House was light and quite satisfying. She had to get up before sunrise and go to their house, then clean up and help Mrs Gold with the cooking. Sometimes, she couldn't even help because Mr Gold would also help Mrs Gold…Like today.“We shouldn’t add more salt… right?” asked Mrs Gold quietly."It's okay, it's good that we put a bit more," said Mr Gold who then moved the soup pot to the dining table. While they usually cooked the weirdest foods, they were actually the ones wh
Molly followed Yelan back to the house across the street, and when they entered the front door, they saw that the clinic door was open because Mrs Gold was standing there, looking in.At a glance, Molly could see Liam in the room, lying on a high bed. The man with long golden hair was not wearing a top, and many golden needles were pricked all over his body.The man seemed to be smiling, but it was clear he was enduring pain… while Master Zaha was holding his wrist while readying another needle, preparing to thrust it.Mrs Gold closed the door from the outside. She smiled at Yelan and Molly with an inexplicably complicated smile."I've told my husband that we're going to the church. Let's go," she said softly.The woman was wearing a dark brown dress that was so elegant and simple. For some reason, Molly felt the clothes she was wearing weren't made in the North...
Harriet got off the carriage, following Yelan and Molly. Her face was looking straight ahead, at the luxurious-looking city church.The three walked towards the front door of the church, where the worshippers walked in and out. Harriet was surprised that compared to the size of the city, there was only one church in this city…Actually, it made sense. Most Northerners did not worship gods. Northerners were mostly Lycans who worshipped the moon and regarded their Luna as the personification of the moon itself.But in Obsidian Port City, many immigrants from various parts of the Continent would naturally worship the same Gods and Goddesses as the residents outside the North.Harriet and the two girls she brought with her noticed how bright, colourful and shimmering the sunlight streaming in through the stained glass art in the church windows.While Harriet showed a warm look
Laurel was not happy to see Harriet's pretty face that in her opinion, was too conspicuous. She didn’t look like a local, and there was a strange mature charm to her smile.She felt lucky that this woman was married and not a noble. That meant Harriet couldn't be compared to her, as she was still young and unmarried. Most important of all, Laurel was also a noble daughter.Reverend Derek wouldn't be interested in her, would he?The second Laurel said her name, Harriet knew immediately who the young woman was. She was the daughter of Viscount Obsidian, one of the vassals of the Almandine Duchy who was in charge of Port City.She heard that this girl had rejected many marriage proposals from other nobles and had a religious reputation, having often attended church.She just smiled and bowed her head calmly, then turned to leave after saying, “I'm sorry if I did somethin
"We have two younger sisters from the same orphanage in our house. They can look after the Grandpa while we work." Harriet who heard it immediately felt a little uncomfortable. It seemed that the living conditions of these children were very difficult. But why would they still want to help the old man? She then asked them if they would be bothered by taking care of the old man. Then, the two explained that they wouldn't be in too much trouble. "We receive a monthly financial allowance from the Northern Government until we were eighteen years old. Old Duke Almandine made sure that none of the orphans go hungry, so we still have some savings from that money." Harriet knew there was government-issued financial support to help the children… but she was sure it wasn't much. "If you guys need help, you can just ask us for help, okay? Why are you so adamant about helping this old man…"
