Aslan just said what he knew.
When youth around his age and older made a big mess on the northern frozen coast to hinder Almandine's merchant expedition years ago, he felt ashamed.
He could never stop them because, at the time, he was still weak and skinny. Forget stopping them. If he wasn't the chief's son, he would be bullied hard.
But after he grew up stronger and more skillful than everybody else, they started to respect him.
He was inspired by the Sun God himself. He was one of the first people who kneeled and curtsied to him the moment he came back to the icy mountains.
Harriet sighed. Seeing how determined this youth was, she couldn't help it. She actually hoped that he would not be as strict as his Grandfather was and be more like Alban, even though Alban himself was very obedient to her.
She used to wonder why, but now she understood.
Aslan walked behind Harriet's leisure steps. They passed some corridors and stairs until they reached an underground hall. Inside was Lycans, researchers, and some physician. The room was vast and clean, with a subtle airflow coming through even though it was underground.Not only that, the place was filled with tables, tools, and machines Aslan had never seen before. And the people who worked inside looked very serious, and each one of them seemed to have a goal in mind.When Aslan came down, he thought he had seen a secret facility of this Castle, but why did the Goddess show it to him this leisurely."My, this place becomes more crowded each day... I should build another separate facility soon. This is our central medical research facility. Ah, look, isn't that Marques Yesha?" Harriet smiled softly.Even though this place was eerie and gave Aslan bad goosebumps, he still tried to smile when he saw
Harriet told Aslan to return to the Castle’s garden to tell Damian and Niamh that she would come back soon. After that, she asked the researchers and the Lycan guards to leave her alone there.Cecilia’s scream slowly subsided. Her eyes were bloodshot toward Harriet’s soft glance. There was still anger in that eyes, something that Harriet enjoyed.“It’s good that you can still recognize me... hating me... cursing me inside your mind,” Harriet slowly smiled.She leaned forward to the glass, raising her face to Cecilia, who was tied to the gurney. “It’s good that you are still alive, and your mind is still clear even after you receive pain and suffering every day.”Harriet didn’t want Cecilia’s mind to be dull because of the pain she inflicted on her. So she always cautioned the researcher who pulled apart her body to do it slowly, carefully, until she got used to it.But the moment she
“And why would I tell you?” Cecilia’s trembling voice lowered in volume. “I don’t have anything to lose.”“But you have things to gain,” Harriet said back.Cecilia’s eyes widened. Did it mean that Harriet would give her something in return?“Cecilia, you are not those half-baked villains,” Harriet suddenly said. “Your action had no bigger meaning behind them. You are being evil just for the sake of being evil.”“T-that’s not true!” Cecilia screamed.“You know it’s true,” Harriet said back to her. “What? You wanted to have the world for yourself? Your own personal heaven?”“Y-yes! That’s what I want!”“But why?” Harriet stared straight into her hateful eyes.“Because I deserve it!” Cecilia screamed.“How did you know that? What have you been through t
“Urp!”Heinrich woke up feeling nauseous. He wanted to immediately get out of bed and vomit, but something was holding him back in bed. Something was on top of his shoulders and chest.He opened up his eyes in panic when he saw three blonde heads surrounding him and leaning at his body. His face became blue and black as he shook them all up. He jumped down from the bed and vomited on a bucket.“HURRLLLLLLL!”“URP! URK!”“Huff.... huff...”Three blondes on the bed raised their beautiful sexy body, looking at Heinrich with lustful eyes on their incredibly astonishing face. Their long and pointy ears moved shyly when Heinrich raised his face toward them.Heinrich paled. With a horror expression, he suddenly screamed, “WHY ARE YOU HEREEE?!”Apparently, his screams made quite a commotion, as suddenly, a young man with long blonde hair and the same long pointy ears burst in
“UNCLE HENRYYY!”The second Heinrich came out of his black portal, he felt two strong cannonballs hit his thighs. “Ugh!”“Ahhh, okay, you got me,” with a playful tired voice, Heinrich acted like both children had knocked him over so severely he was defeated.On the ground, where he lay defeated, two little children pinned him down, laughing. Ezekiel and Heath were the cool and scary uncles, while he had always been their fun uncle. So, even though they loved each and every one of them, they loved Heinrich the most.“How are you guys doing?” Heinrich asked.“We’re good!” Niamh answered.“Yeah! Mum spent the night with us, but she had to go because of work...” Damian chirped in.“She missed you... You should’ve come yesterday...” Niamh looked a bit disappointed.“Aww, that’s fine. She was indeed busy. It’s so children
“I thought there was something juicy. It turns out it’s just about the Duchess and Sir Scolecite,” Penelope said.The women turned to her, their gossip ears perking up.“Oh, well, Miss Unicorn, do you have something juicier to share?” one of the masked women asked.‘Your whole family’s money business is way juicier, Missy,’ Penelope mumbled inside her mind, knowing full well who she was and what her family did. “What’s juicier is that we will have a new guest coming today. Who knows? Maybe they’ll be another regular.”When she said that, a white masked servant walked to her, bowing. “Miss Unicorn, your guest has arrived.”“Well, well, fufu,” Penelope covered her mouth with her fan as she held her laugh.The door opened, and a tall man walked inside. His hair was an iconic dark grey, and his mask was the mask of a grey fox. But everyone just knew w
But, in Penelope’s case, her family was lifted to grace when she befriended Celine Diamond in their childhood. It could be because of pity, but Penelope had always been grateful to Celine for it.She was so grateful and loyal that she built an information network to find her childhood best friend.But then... she faced betrayal.Jake secretly clenched his fist as he remembered the information he found about her.The woman who had been betrayed by her ‘best friend’, now cried in anger because she tried to defend her true best friend. It felt like her story was just about becoming the best friend of other beautiful and perfect women.Not only Harriet, the Notorious Duchess. But also Arai, the Knight Commander, Miriam, the Princess Consort, and Ezra, the Late Empress.“Thank you, Sir Scolecite, for coming. You are welcome whenever you want to visit this place. There’s a party every week here, but you must wear your
Four years ago, after the Empire’s post-war recovery, Ezekiel Euclase was crowned the new Dragon Emperor. Axias, the former Emperor, decided to retire and followed his elder brother to sail the ocean.At the same time, Ezekiel revealed about his cousin, the secret successor of the throne.The moment the news was spread, everyone was shocked to know that the Duke of Platinum, the brother of the Notorious Duchess, Heath Goldlane, was the son of Eoin Euclase.Everyone started to wonder if the Duchess had the same father but later confirmed that the Duchess’ father was the leader of a Blood God Mercenary Troupe, Orcenal Silverlane.This just made things a bit complicated because, more than Heath, Harriet was more suited to hold the title of Duke Platinum. She was the direct offspring of Goldlane and Silverlane, after all.Eoin’s supporters also demanded that Heath’s surname be changed to Euclase, but Eoin himself rejected it. He
