Ezra finally finished eating the pasta she ordered and sighed in a satisfied voice. She felt full, and her body felt so comfortable. On her right and left, two princes from two different continents had also just finished eating their meal.
"Hey, aren't the three of us in the same situation?" asked Ezra cheerfully.
Her voice which was as light as the wind made the two princes with a calm nature stare at her relaxedly. Heinrich smiled with a warm attitude. “What do you mean, Your Highness?”
Ezra leaned her body towards Heinrich and smiled broadly. “You secretly love Madam Harriet Goldlane because she is the reincarnation of Cynthia Delaroche.”
Heinrich cleared his throat softly. A blush appeared on his face. "Do not say that, I'm afraid of tarnishing her reputation. I gave up after learning that she is happily married to Lord Liam Almandine.”
"We are the same! We have giv
Ezra ran and ran. Her breath hitched from her panic and fear. All of this reminded her of the previous six loops. Of the six lives she lived, three times she was killed by Ethan Diamond. Once she was killed by Celine Diamond… and twice she was killed by that man—the man she loved, Ezekiel Euclase. Whatever she did, whatever way she avoided it, she couldn't because she knew her destiny had already set the time of her death. No matter who would kill her, it was all for the same reason. Because she loved Ezekiel and wanted to save him. Of course, in her first life, she was hit by Sorcery. That time, her motivation was the same, she wanted to save Ezekiel from the woman who don't deserve him, Celine. But the longer, in her later lives, the more she became convinced that Ezekiel and Celine's love was a terrible love story. At fir
Ezekiel waited… and waited.Until finally, he felt Ezra's nod.Ezekiel's hands trembled, and his gaze on the road to the palace became shaky. He recalled the time when he was still affected by that witch's sorcery, and he insulted Harriet at the anonymous club. He must have been… very disgusting and terrifying in her eyes at that moment."Forgive me. I didn't mean to scare you," the man said softly.Ezra slowly returned Ezekiel's hug, but she still buried her face into the man's chest, not daring to look at Ezekiel directly."No. I'm sorry that I ran away from you.”Ezekiel inhaled slowly and exhaled nervously. His brows furrowed sharply and he felt like he wanted to make sure this woman would never again misunderstand his actions. But he didn't know how.He also didn't know… why Ezra made him so… unbearably uncomfortable.&n
"Are you thinking about Madam Harriet Goldlane?" A pair of vacant deep and black eyes, like black holes that could absorb all the light in the world, emerged from under the blanket, peering at him with a soft glint. Her eyes looked a little tired and puffy from crying. Ezekiel raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised to hear Ezra suddenly ask him, and accurately guessed the turmoil in his heart. "How do you know?" asked Ezekiel. Ezra didn't answer right away. The woman slowly sat up on the bed, though still wrapped her body with a thick blanket, showing only a pair of dark eyes staring deeply at Ezekiel. "You always make that face whenever you think of Her Grace." Ezekiel flinched. Is his expression that easy to read? From under the blanket that wrapped Ezra's body, a white hand that looked long and slender stretched out towa
Harriet awoke to a bright sunny morning.She immediately remembered that that day was the day when the final honouring ceremony for the war victims would be held. She turned to her right, where Liam hugged her tightly. The man always slept by the window and blocked out the sunlight that would dazzle her eyes in the morning.This allowed Harriet to see the light coming into their room creating a glittering outline around Liam's body.Every day it dawned, Liam was the first she saw, and she was grateful for it.Although the man's figure looked dark because of his back to the light, to her he is the most shining in this world, like the sun that illuminates her life.Harriet raised herself slowly, afraid to wake the man. And as expected, Liam really didn't wake up. His breathing seemed regular, and even though there was no heartbeat, Harriet could still feel the warmth on his body.
On a vast hill, thousands of coffins were lined up neatly.Heath stood beside the Emperor and Harriet, whose body was tightly wrapped in an oversized white fur coat. Liam stood by her side, embracing her waist tightly.The four of them stared into the distance.“They are young soldiers and knights…” Heath whispered.The Emperor fell silent, while Harriet turned, looking up at him.“They are so strong and brave. But the war took their souls just like that.”Heath's words pierced Axias' heart painfully. The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed at Ezekiel and Ezra who were standing far away from them, leading the procession close to the rows of graves dug in this vast hill."Even if we won, we've got nothing but sadness," Heath whispered quietly.Harriet raised her hand and stroked her brother's
Everyone understood what was going on.Maybe Harriet wasn't feeling well this morning, whether it was because of her pregnancy, or because of exhaustion because no one had heard anything serious had happened. Even so, Harriet's condition shocked Liam that he appeared to be in a bad mood for the rest of the day.This reminded them of the incident the other day when Ezra was sick after returning from the battlefield.Ezekiel stood for hours in front of Ezra's room, just to make sure that the woman continue to rest and didn't come out of the room.Then, when Ezra ran off somewhere, Ezekiel frantically tried to find her and chases her, to the point of startling a whole palace—no, they're even said to have shocked the whole capital!When compared to the incident when Ezekiel was worried about his wife that his chase shocked the entire capital, what ha
Harriet saw a smile bloom on the sky-blue-haired woman's face. Every time Harriet looked at Ezra, it was like seeing someone so familiar and gentle, like a cool breeze in the middle of summer.Ezra's eyes looked empty and dark, but Harriet felt she saw herself in them. Eyes that had been tired of life, eyes of someone who had suffered for far too long.“I heard you're getting better, Your Highness? I'm really relieved," said Harriet. She held out her hand and Ezra gently reached out to her too.“Everyone is exaggerating my condition. Obviously, I just caught a cold," said Ezra with a big smile. “Your Grace too, I heard people saw you visiting His Highness Serpentes this morning?”Harriet shook her head gently. "I'm just a bit tired. Don't worry."While Harriet and Ezra chatted merrily, Liam and Ezekiel fell silent. Ezekiel was lost in his mind, staring at
"For the survivors, and for those who left!""For the survivors, and for those who left!"The Lycans of the Amaryllis family raised their beer glasses high and cheered solemnly. They gulped down their drinks.The knights and soldiers present at the party stared at them in admiration. It was the Lycan's way of honouring the fallen and cheering on the survivors. When the Lycans asked for another glass of beer to drink together, everyone raised their glasses with them.Even the Emperor and his son also followed them."For those left behind, and for the fallen!"This time, everyone followed the Lycans' cheers."For those left behind, and for the fallen!"CLINK!GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUGBAM!Everyone put their beer glasses on the table with a loud noise and heaved a
