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
It was almost as if a needle dropped to the floor, everyone would be able to hear it. The silence was almost suffocating.Zaha's cold and flat expression broke into pure anger and disgust."Who do you think you are? My Wangfei has been kind enough to give you a warning and you dare to raise your pathetic voice at her?” Zaha gritted his teeth.The man continued, with words that took people by surprise. “If it were up to me, I would definitely have the guards take you in so that you receive a hundred lashes.”Everyone didn't expect Zaha Serpentes to be able to speak in such a sharp and cruel tone. Including Harriet, who opened her mouth wide as soon as she entered the party hall. She was surprised—pleasantly surprised.She looked up at Liam who was grinning, seeming interested. The two then stared at each other.The cultures of the two c
So in the first place, it was all because she had her family status, not because she looked like a boy or was the slightest bit attractive in his eyes?Arai lowered her head sadly, and her expression darkened realizing the truth. For some reason, this saddened her more than she thought.But suddenly...CRACK!At that moment, everyone didn't realize that something was broken in Zaha's head. No one noticed, but in that second, Zaha silently experienced <Aura Awakening> in the midst of his anger.His golden eyes shone brightly, with pupils that constricted like those of a reptile. His breath turned cold, emitting a thin frosty smoke from his mouth, and that's when suddenly an ornate sword on the hall wall flew and landed in Zaha's hand.Just before death came to the humiliated, angry and terrified Josh, a golden flash of light shot from the side of the roo
Zaha tried to find out where Arai was. He looked around the hall and walked into a garden. He looked in all directions, and the moonlight lit up the night sky making his figure look much more beautiful.His white skin looked a little flushed. As the night sky gently blew, blowing his sleeves, he finally saw Arai sitting on a park bench, alone.Arai had a great and curvaceous body. Her lean muscles that made up her body looked so strong, but there was enough plumpness all in the right places.Her normally puffed-up chest was now slightly hunched over… and even though she was now wearing a maroon knight uniform, her expression showed that she was actually just an ordinary woman.But what Zaha saw was enough to leave him stunned. Zaha's eyes widened, and the pounding in his chest bothered him even more.At this moment, Zaha remembered what he had just done in front of everyon
Penelope Zircon stood alone in the hallway. Not far from her was the entrance to the banquet hall, where perhaps her friends had been waiting for her.But she really felt like she couldn't get in there… in the midst of people who had just returned from the war.Penelope was ashamed. She had told herself many times that the war wasn't her fault. But the war began with a declaration that occurred at the party she attended that day.She felt guilty because, at that time Ezra was protecting her from Celine's humiliation, and everything ended in chaos. One could say, this was what indirectly triggered everything.If she didn't anger Celine, there might be a solution about Sorcery that was better than war—"Miss Zircon."Penelope flinched. She looked to her back and saw Heath standing with a beautiful petite woman by his side. There was also a man with
"Come sit with us."Ezekiel flinched at the words of someone who suddenly appeared next to him. Heinrich, the Crown Prince of Hyacinth, looked at him while making a gesture, pointing at Liam and Heath's table with his chin.However, Ezekiel just stared at Heinrich with a straight face and walked away."Hey!" Heinrich felt a little annoyed that he had just been ignored. He walked after Ezekiel on the party floor, making Ezekiel feel uncomfortable."Why? What is the problem?" asked Heinrich dryly.“You think they will accept me sitting with them after… what happened…?” asked Ezekiel flatly, still walking hastily away. "Sorcery made me insult Madam Goldlane, and they must have known about it."“Why not give it a try? They are good people. Did you forget I once ordered my brother to invade this Continent and everything? They did al
At that time, Ezra replied casually. “Oh, this? It's kind of a side effect I get after dying and coming back to life. Because I went through Holy Awakening over and over again and obtained Holy Energy from that bastard god, he also gave me a penalty if I used his Holy Power to heal people.”“What penalty do you mean, Your Highness?” Heinrich asked.“My body will automatically take over the pain of the person I heal with Holy Power, and if I heal many people's wounds and illnesses at once, then my body will accumulate pain for days. Until now, my body still hurts because I healed too many people in the war,” explained Ezra honestly.Heinrich and Zaha's eyes went wide.“Especially if I heal the side effects of Sorcery. My body would feel like it was being burned and boiled alive in a giant furnace,” Ezra muttered with a helpless small laugh. She then expl
The Emperor felt his body ache. Indeed, his wounds had not all healed and his old body was not able to heal as quickly as before. He decided to announce what he had to announce for today and went to rest.DING DING DING!The Emperor used a cake fork to gently hit his drinking glass and caught the attention of everyone in the vast banquet hall. Everyone stopped their chatter and turned to the Emperor who was sitting at the front of the hall, and everyone watched the man stand up.“I would like to take this opportunity to announce something to all of you.”Some people started whispering, but most were still waiting for the Emperor's words.That was when he turned to Heath. The young man stood up and turned to Miriam who still didn't know what was going on.Miriam saw Heath extend his hand to her from where he was standing. Miriam could only walk tow
