"Fucking damn bitch! Get out of here you useless slut! You're the one who made me end up here! Get out of my sight!"
Molly walked backwards away from the bars of the prison cell, looking at Abby who was shouting at her angrily. She was speechless at all the yelling and harsh insults from her angry sister.
This was the first time Molly saw Abby again after several months. Abby was taken away to Almandine after being captured by the Old Duke's Lycan Entourage, and now that Molly could finally go to Almandine, she wanted to see her.
But instead, she was shouted at like this.
That's when Molly felt the touch of someone's hand behind her. She turned her head and saw Yelan shaking her head and wanting to pull her away.
"Come on, we have to meet our master soon," the girl said.
Molly nodded. She let Yelan pull her away.
However, as soon as she s
Liam's eyes assessed Ezekiel's expression so carefully, trying to figure out what the intention behind Ezekiel's words was. Was he still jealous of him about Harriet, or was there another reason?As Liam recalled Ezekiel's previous complaints, he got the idea."Is there a problem with your wife... about your next heir to the throne?" Liam asked, making Ezekiel flinch.The Crown Prince widened his eyes to stare at Liam in disbelief. How did this man know?! Does he have a super instinct like Harriet?!"You complained about your wife running away, and then got upset about the birth of my son and daughter," Liam shrugged his shoulders."I-I'm not upset about the birth of your son and daughter!" Ezekiel retorted. "I'm just...""Envious?" asked Liam with flashing eyes, hitting the nail on the head once again. Just then, Liam's mischievous smile returned. "Oh, you h
"Great Healing Potion, some toxin to make sure she can't grow back her missing body parts... and to fight the Wyverns they might create again..." Ezekiel muttered."I'll need your help with potions and toxins to make sure she can't have her limbs back. As for combat power and defence against Sorcery attacks, I can handle all of that," Liam said flatly."Oh... alright, but we still need something to protect me from all that, if we want to be perfect..." Ezekiel said.Liam tilted his face in confusion. "What do you mean you need it?"Ezekiel felt offended. "I'm not a monster like you, remember?""No, there seems to be a misunderstanding between us, Your Highness," Liam said. "You won't need any of that because I don't need you to come with me to attack them."Ezekiel widened his eyes. "Huh?"What did this man mean? Wasn't this plan... only
"I was very young when I first met His Majesty. If I'm not mistaken, I received a small shoutout at His Majesty's birthday party. But it wasn't until a few months later that I got to know His Majesty better..." Harriet murmured."A small shoutout?" asked Ezra."It was for The Academy's Best Student...? Ah, that's right. That happened..." muttered Harriet who seemed to have forgotten.Ezra furrowed her brows. In the previous six lives, she had never heard of Harriet receiving an award like that."Ah, that's right. I was almost unable to be the number one student because of the corruption in the Academy. Shortly after that, the Emperor often went out of town to clean up the corrupt system and arrest the nobles involved," Harriet muttered.Ezra moved her face forward, widening in surprise. That was when the Emperor was mysteriously killed in her previous six lives!
"Your Highness!"Ezra flinched. She turned to the man walking next to her who quickly pulled her shoulder towards him."Ah!" Ezra was startled and fell into Heinrich's arms after losing her balance. She raised her face in confusion, seeing Heinrich looking at her worriedly."You almost walked into a pillar!" the man told her.Ezra looked to her side, where she had walked before, and she was surprised to see a large stone pillar in the hall of Almandine Castle. She was somewhat startled. "Eh... sorry, I really have a lot on my mind...""I can see that. Ever since you met Her Grace, you've been lost in your mind," Heinrich said, letting go of Ezra's body which had regained its balance.Ezra couldn't believe she was lost in her own mind that she couldn't hear Heinrich's warning.But just as she was about to say her apologies to the man, Ezra
Silence. In a sitting room in Almandine Castle, three men sat facing each other. One of them sat with his back to the light of the setting sun, golden eyes shining horribly bright. While the other two looked pale, looking down at the low table before them. "Do you know the only regret I have in my life right now?" asked the golden-eyed man. His black silhouette looked even more menacing with that cold voice coming from him. "My only regret right now is..." the man answered his own question, "...that I was born 75 years earlier than my wife." A horror fell on the atmosphere of the room. The other two men sitting facing the golden-eyed man paled even more and widened their eyes. "Technically speaking, I might only live for a few years in those 75 years, considering I often fall into a coma and remain unconscious for long periods. Even before I met h
How peaceful.If he could, he wanted this to last forever.Despite the fact that he was the oldest in this room, and that he had already forgiven everyone who offended him about his age...Liam was glad to see Ezekiel and Heinrich make up and realize they were not enemies, but rivals. He was glad to see that Heath was no longer afraid of him. He was also happy that Zaha had finally made friends and was able to laugh out loud."Alright, that's enough. Let's go to dinner. Madam must have been waiting for us because we planned we would have dinner with our closest friends today."The other four men in the room turned to Liam upon hearing his words.Ezekiel widened his eyes in surprise.Was Ezra also going to join them for dinner?***"Pleeeeeeeease, I can't—I can't come!"Arai and Penelo
The long dining table of Almandine Castle's dining hall was now filled with the Imperial Family and the Duchy Family, along with their other closest guests.The Emperor sat in the main seat, and to his right were the Old Duke and Old Duchess.In front of the Old Duke and Duchess, taking seniority into account, Liam and Harriet were seated, making them take up positions to the Emperor's left.And next to Harriet was Ezekiel—who was next to Ezra."How could... this happen...?" asked Ezra and Ezekiel silently. With pale faces, the two sat stiffly.They were not sitting far apart but side by side!In front of them, and next to the Old Duchess, Duke Platinum, and his wife, Miriam sat casually... and next to Miriam, sat Zaha and Arai.Looking at the expression of Ezra who was quietly panicking next to him, Heinrich looked a little worried
They said that the night atmosphere of Almandine Castle in the middle of winter had a special charm. Whether it was because of the somber atmosphere, or because of the warm atmosphere that people try to create to cheer themselves up.Every hallway of the castle was lit with antique lanterns that had been working for decades, and so were the rooms.Ezra and Ezekiel had spent all day running around, so they didn't get to see the rooms their hosts had prepared for them.But as it turned out, the atmosphere of the room that had been made as comfortable and warm as possible only made Ezekiel even more aware of how cold Ezra's cheeks were to his touch.As they passed through the open hallway to get to the castle wing where their room was located, Ezra's tear residue on her cheeks froze. Despite the blush on her face, there was a thin layer of ice on the woman's long eyelashes, which made Ezekiel feel even
