The night they made the contract, Harriet asked Liam to call her by her first name. And in turn, Liam asked her to call him by his first name too.
It took half a year for Harriet to discover Liam's real identity. She silently searched high and low for anyone in the Empire, and even outside of the Empire, who could fit his description.
Right now, she had known the man so well, even to his smallest habits. It was all thanks to the full moon nights of missions and adventures.
But after she finally found out about his real identity, she had to straighten her chest and let out a long sigh.
She shortened his required travel time to meet her by moving her headquarters closer and closer to the north... and even thinking against a more challenging mission for them to do every month.
CREAK...
Harriet turned to her windows. She saw the tall man she was waiting for every
Almandine City was bright with lantern lights. The Winter's End Festival was always the biggest in the North. Harriet heard that it was essential for a woman in the North to participate, whether to sell something, to have fun, or to learn from it.When Liam left the castle, he was so excited to meet her that he didn't realize the lights on the street. He just jumped into the sky and landed outside the city.Harriet's headquarters was not far, so they arrived in just around 30 minutes back to Almandine... but when he came alongside her, everyone gazed at them...Because Liam was once again carrying her bridal style.Liam only had a couple of waking hours on the night of a full moon, so he didn't want to waste time.He ran all the way here carrying a frightened Harriet, who was clutching his neck with everything she had."We're here. You can get down now," Liam
Harriet had never researched the Winter's End Festival. She had never attended one and had never heard about its contents. She spent the majority of her life in the Capital and focused on the other problematic side of the Empire.Truly, if there was a place she didn't need to come to, it would be Almandine. The place that had no danger of sorcery, where the Old Duke himself was said to hate the dark art to the bone.But how?How did she know?Not only the main event for the festival, but how did she guess the main prize that quickly?Harriet's brain was immediately in shambles. From the start, her attachment to this man was incredibly strong. The way she trusted him almost instantly was weird.It didn't feel like her usual self.How could she believe a random naked stranger she met on top of a waterfall? How did she believe her own judgme
Six lives, six identical timelines. Even if someone didn't have the memory to recall something that happened in a different timeline, they would be able to connect with themselves from the other timelines.Sometimes, they would feel a sense of deja vu. Sometimes, they would be able to predict the future because of their subconscious connections. And sometimes... they would do the same thing over and over again, like falling in love.Even if it was wrong... or even dangerous.As they walked up towards the city square, the crowd had been thick around them. They weren't being too loud, but people were staring at them as they passed by.Just a few people knew about Liam, now that he had always lived on top of the castle tower. So that was not the reason why they were being stared at.Or... that was the exact reason..."Look! He looks just like a prince," a girl w
"Starting tomorrow, we can talk and think about what actually happened. Tonight, can you please just grant my wish?"That was what Liam said.But..."And don't worry, after all of that, I'm not planning to sleep tonight."The man's golden eyes stared straight into hers, stripping her naked even without touching her. The balcony windows opened, and the cold wind blew against their bodies. It felt like a breath of fresh air but also like an attack on their foggy minds.They had come back from the festival that confirmed their feelings. Even though many more had been revealed aside from that, it was not more important than what was right in front of them.They shared another kiss. Their lips were so soft and warm, as if they were melting together, and she could feel his body heat through their clothes. They separated only when he pulled away, leaving her dizzy f
"Ngh!" Harriet held her laugh. She closed her mouth with the back of her hand. "Hehehe..."Liam narrowed his eyes as he sat cross-legged on the floor. It seemed like Harriet did not believe his words. "I am serious. If there is someone in this world that can kill me, then it would be my Grandfather and your Father.""Because you can't fight them out of respect?" Harriet asked."No, Harriet. They CAN kill me," Liam answered seriously.Harriet became somewhat confused. "I would believe it if it was your Granpa. But my Father?"Liam closed his eyes and folded his arms in front of his chest. He said in absolute solemnity, "Your Father is even scarier than my Granpa."Harriet blinked her eyes, "N-no way. My Father is kind and gentle...""To you, that is. But I can feel he stared daggers at my back..." Liam pondered his decision again. Should h
TWITCH!"Hic..." Harriet's eyes were watering, and her face was bright red as she felt her organs being pushed up. Her walls spasmed as she felt the friction from the man's entire length.How could she forget how huge he was?They hadn't even moved yet, but already... she could feel the wave of pleasure building up."Are you okay?" Liam asked with concern. He was ready to stop everything if Harriet wanted so."S-so... good..." Harriet tried to speak, but her voice sounded muffled. "I-I don't know... that first time can be this... good...""Really?" Liam asked with a chuckle. "Well, I guess that means you're going to enjoy it even more..."SLAM!When they were whispering to each other, Liam slowly pulled himself back. And as he finished talking, he slammed himself back in absolute precision.He aim
Orcenal sat in front of Liam. His eyes stared straight into the blonde-haired man's disheveled self. He narrowed his eyes in disdain. "How could you bite the hands that feed you? I thought you were a wise boy..."Liam's eyes sparkled. He turned his face up and smiled at Orcenal. Right now, Harriet was not with them because Orcenal forced her to clean herself and wear a more appropriate dress. That, after he assured her that he wouldn't hurt Liam.Hearing Orcenal's words, Liam became increasingly sure of his speculation. He saw the middle-aged man's expression when he saw him coughing blood. Liam saw how Orcenal stopped throwing his harsh attack at him after he realized that Liam was in pain.This was a day after the full moon, and Liam was forced to awaken because of Orcenal's threatening <Aura>.It was all because..."Did you realize that I saw through you, Father?" Liam a
White scenery spread out before him, the wind blowing against his cheeks. A vast plain of snow and ice stretched as far as he could see in all directions. The sun should have set, but it did not feel dark. A pale light illuminated everything, illuminating the white world like a giant stage with no audience.Well, this was what happened when someone lived near the north pole. The sky would almost always be lit with sunlight. The Antarcticite Clan lived all their lives in this place, so they were used to it.But today, Aslan had to leave this place by order of his father, Altan. The Garden of Crystal Trees had withered... and his Grandfather's message before he died... was to meet the Moon Goddess.That was why today, Aslan came down from the icy mountains. He was going to go to the Almandine region and meet the Moon Goddess and tell her about everything that had happened.He would be glad if there was
