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
What it meant to be a good friend?The first time he saw Penelope, it was at the victory banquet after the Diamond War. He thought she was hilarious.The way she innocently blended in with the other women and the way she knew how to lead the conversation in an exciting way. Her reaction, her subtle worry for them, and her joy as she saw their happiness.Everything was perfectly selfless.The way she never judged them while still being herself, the way she accepted them the way they were, the way she flawlessly supported them in the right way only she could do.After that night, Heinrich strived to become someone like her. He was not consciously trying to do it like her because he had another set of skills and personality, but he tried to become ‘her’ kind of friend.That was why Heinrich approached Ezekiel and told him that he used to love Harriet too.He took the first step to be a good friend to Ezekiel.Still, he
RUMBLE RUMBLEZRSSSSHHHH!AAAAAAH!CLANG!CRASH!“The Black Witch!”“Take cover!”Swords, spears, even shields, and armored body parts rained down on the battlefield. Anything that was heavy and strong enough that could be used as weapons floated up into the air and then rained down like comets.It was not enough to stop them, though. Many of them were <Aura Masters>, and they could push forward even when it was raining weapons.But the closer they approached, suddenly, their <Aura> diminished like smoke. They had entered another person’s <Aura Domain>, and they were weaker than them.“AAAAAAAH!”One by one, they got pushed back. Their body flew high to the backline, while their body lost control of their own <Aura>.It was a bad decision to push forward in this situation.So they retreated for today, knowing full well that they
“Mum! Let’s hold hands!”In the morning, the twins went to Harriet’s room to pick her up for breakfast. They were determined to help her with her daily life now that she couldn’t see anything.Harriet chuckled. “What is this? Both of you want to hold hands?”She reached out to their small hands and held them as they walked through the corridor. Harriet told them that she was on a break and she would not go back to the East Continent until after the late Empress’ birthday party.The twins were glad to hear that. It had been so long since Harriet had a break.Now, after Zaha finally killed the last enemy’s general off, she could rest. That would be until Zaha finished his cleanup and established his own nation.“Mum, are we going to leave for the capital?” Niamh asked.“Yes,” Harriet answered as she finished her breakfast.“We’ve never gone
One of the reasons why Yelan and Yesha stayed in the Duchy even though they should’ve come back to the East was because of Yelan’s condition.Her sudden fit of heat was what caused it. It was because of the unfinished imprinting ceremony.Come to think of it, the Duchess’ expression was weird when Yesha saw her just a minute ago. It was weirdly complicated.Why was the reason?CLICK!The door to the room opened. Harriet came out of the room with the same complicated expression, covered by her silk veil.“Did you wait?” she asked, smiling at him.“Yes... what about Yelan?” Yesha asked back.Harriet didn’t immediately answer. Instead, she looked first into the worry on Yesha’s face.“I can not solve this,” she said.Yesha widened his eyes. “I-if even you can not solve this, then what should I do?”“No, if it was me, I would be
Ezekiel was not a perfect ruler, yet he was a good one. Succeeding his father’s leadership, he just needed to adapt to today’s society and add rules to hone the government to be even better.By no means was he a tyrant.Sometimes, a decent person would be accused of something they were not just because they had an obvious fault or abnormality. Sometimes, a thousand good deeds would be lost and forgotten in value by the eyes of people just because of one sin.They forgot how merciful and benevolent of a ruler Ezekiel was because of one thing that challenged their interest.“That was so bad. I don’t think Ezra would laugh at that joke,” Ezekiel muttered. “Not that... I want anyone to laugh at that one...”A joke.While everyone felt a horrible goosebump hearing his ‘joke’, Ezekiel sighed. He looked into the eyes of his friends, which were quiet from beginning to end.Heinrich sat at
“Isn’t this supposed to be a party?”Harriet made eye contact with everyone in that hall. Even though her eyes were covered with a veil, they all could feel her stare. Even though she acted like she didn’t hear what they were talking about before entering the room, she ensured everyone knew that she heard everything.“Sister,” Heath mumbled. Beside him, Miriam wanted to walk forward to welcome Harriet and the twins, but he stopped her.So were Arai and Penelope, who decided to observe further while Heinrich secretly stared daggers at those people.“I don’t know if I should be glad or mad that you came at this moment, Sister Cousin,” Ezekiel said.“Why?” Harriet walked closer, holding her children’s hands. “Because I wear black? Sorry about that.”Ezekiel suppressed his smile.When Harriet arrived in front of his throne, below the stairs, she sighed. &l
After two turns of the dance moves, Ezekiel realized something about Harriet. He had rarely seen her again nowadays, and even if he did, he would not come this close to her.Now that he had the chance to even touch her hands and see her closer, he realized how thin she was.He thought she looked thin and fragile because of the black dress. But he was wrong.She truly felt thin and weak."I heard that Zaha had just finished the war," Ezekiel said softly."Not completely," Harriet smiled at him. Her eyes looked into his behind the black veil. Her eyebrows arch was high and beautiful, making him remember the time when he used to admire her."Then I bet I will be able to see him again soon," Ezekiel smiled back.Harriet chuckled, leaning her head into Ezekiel's shoulder. "You can just see him whenever you want. Or just go see the world with H
"Lately, the weather has been bad," Ezekiel said as he led Harriet toward his workroom. They left the party that morning after the dance, and Ezekiel let the nobles discuss with themselves.They walked side by side on the corridor, ignoring people who saw them acting this intimate.More likely because Ezekiel had never let anyone get close to him since the death of his wife. But now, even his expression was better than the usual empty and dark.Harriet linked her hand to the man's elbow, letting him follow her walking pace as she looked into the sky outside the corridor's windows. Her vision had been recovered just before she arrived at the Capital, and she was glad for it.She was glad she could properly see this man's face and her friends' expressions."I will take care of them, so don't worry," Ezekiel said softly as he observed this woman's calming smile. He didn't want Harri
It was about a week later at night... that Harriet was finally tired of waiting.Liam had been gone for a week now, and no matter what she did, he wouldn’t come home. Could it be that... it was because of Mr. Saturday?She couldn’t reach out to his mind. She couldn’t even hear his voice. This was the first time Liam was gone by his own choice without saying anything to her.At first, she was okay with it. It was okay if he needed some space. It would be okay if he said at least something to her. Just a little mental note...But he didn’t.He went cold, just like that.So it was time for her to be creative.He refused to heed her call, closing all kinds of communication that existed within their mind... then the only resort was to call him through his body.“Mmmh...”She slipped her fingers inside herself. She let out a sigh as she tickled her inside, her eyes closing in ecstasy. The so
“You have to squeeze me hard, or I won’t come.”She nodded in understanding, holding his throbbing cock against her palm. He shivered when she wrapped her fingers around it, squeezing it firmly, making sure he was fully aroused.“Ohhhh... squeeze harder. Give me just a little bit more strength, my love.”She squeezed him even tighter, and he cried out loudly, his voice echoing through the room. Even though he scared her, she kept pushing further, trying to breathe in unison with him.His waist moved against her hand, thrusting into her grip. His muscles tensed, and he groaned loudly. Her hand felt sore, but his dick looked desperately more stiff than usual.“AHHHH!”In an instant, his legs buckled, and he fell onto her, throwing her off balance. She tumbled to the ground, landing heavily on the floor.When she glanced up, the beast had been released from its chain. He grinned at her.&l
“In my memory, that side of the world was tainted by the use of Sorcery. That’s why we have to purify it with holy fire,” Mr. Thursday said as he pointed to the east.When they were burning the world, it was in a literal sense. They were burning the world, turning the effect of Sorcery on the earth to ashes. They spared nothing, no one, no witnesses.They were determined to let the world start anew.“And at the far east, where you can see it from here, is where the holy fire was never exhausted because too much curse of Sorcery needed to be burned,” the man said.“That much destruction was possible?” Harriet asked, and the man nodded.“In a way, your timeline was the best-case scenario. Ezra’s sacrifice had not only saved us but also our future generations,” the man said.“You sacrificed yourself too,” Harriet reminded.“Not me, but your husband...”
Her body was battered blue, but he didn’t know why it turned him on even more. No, he wasn’t a sadist, thus why he wanted to fondle her gentler than ever.He licked her clitoris, soft. He played it with his lips...slowly, gently. He kissed the tip of her pink bud. His fingers moved inside her, massaging her g-spot softly.She moaned as she felt him go deeper into her slit. His thick fingers created a lewd wet sound, making her so horny that it made her want to grab his hair and pull hard. She didn’t, though, because she liked this slow game. She let him do what he wanted with her body.The man parted her pussy, slowly pulling out his fingers and inserting them again in their place. Her vagina felt like heaven to him. It was warm, tender, and so wet. He could feel how excited she was by the way her walls tightened around his thick digits.He wanted to add another finger, but not yet. Make it even slower... more intense. She would love tha
“Are you awake?”Harriet’s eyes slowly opened. She smelled a delicious aroma. When she looked around her room, she saw a lot of delicious-looking dishes.And Liam sat on the other side of the room, staring at her with his arms crossed in front of his chest.“Come here and eat,” he said, inviting her.The morning sun lazily peeked through the window, casting a warm glow over the room. A soft breeze blew through, rustling the curtains and sending the scent of blooming flowers wafting inside.The table was set with an array of delicious dishes, their mouth-watering aroma wafting through the air.They sat beside each other, their fingers intertwined on the table. Their eyes were fixed on the spread before them, but... there was a subtle sadness in Mr. Wednesday’s eyes.It was a quiet melancholy that settled around him like a cloak, casting a shadow over the brightness of the morning. The woman noticed i
“Harriet... I love you...”THRUST! THRUT! THRUST!“I want to marry you... making you happy... but instead I... I can’t save you...”“I’m sorry...”Harriet gasped and moaned as she heard his whisper in her ears. She didn’t like this at all. “Mr... Monday... how dare you... say all this... when we’re in the middle of... mmmh...! Oh... kiss me, Liam...!”The man devoured her lips as her body spasmed, her limbs clutched into his body desperately.The night had deepened. It was almost midnight, and they hadn’t finished their activity. It was a good decision to let the servants empty the wing.Since their tower hadn’t been rebuilt yet, they had to use a normal bedroom, and the place was a bit close to the working servants...“Don’t you dare pull out again. Put your seed inside me, Liam,” Harriet whispered.“Is this how y
Harriet passed out the moment her head hit the pillow. These days had been too hectic for her; she didn’t even have time to rest properly.When the sunlight hit her eyes that morning, she felt something blocking them to let her rest more. And then, she smelled it. Only one man in this world could give a scent of the sun.He was like the beginning of summer right after the spring ended. Not even the night could hide this kind of scent... even though Harriet instantly felt something different.It was too distant.Her eyelids trembled open. She was expecting to see him lying facing her, but she was met with his back instead.He was awake.He was even awake since midnight. When he opened his eyes, he was there, not knowing what had happened or what to do. But when the sunlight hit her frail-looking body, he was afraid it would disturb her sleep, so he covered her from the sun.That was when he felt her small fingers grazing his back
[Hello, my name is Charmy.]Penelope’s jaw was still hanging open.[I’m 5.]Penelope stared at Heinrich in disbelief.“So, this is Charmaine. He’s... he’s the stone I made five... almost six years ago to become an Immortal Archmage,” Heinrich said.Penelope still couldn’t comprehend anything.“Okay, mine and the Duchess’ working theory is that when we create the Philosopher’s Stone, the mythical balance is achieved, and a new soul is created from it...”“No, Your Highness, what I was surprised about is... why did he call me his... Mommy?” Penelope seriously asked.“Well, this...” Heinrich tried to think of a way to explain it.[Mommy, you mean. I was cheering for you allllll the time! I’m screeeeaming for Daddy to just see you and be with you!]“He chose you as his master. That night at the North, he... essentiall
“It seemed that we’ve all concluded all we know about the stone. With the help of the communication device I created, we will be able to discuss with your stone to create the ideal society we’ve talked about,” Harriet said as she concluded their talk.She only conveyed her discovery about the stone but also theorized about what had happened to each stone.“Now that you’ve become a Lycan, Aslan, you have double the responsibility to uphold. Don’t disappoint us,” Harriet said.Aslan stood and kneeled, bowing his head low. “I won’t disappoint you, God and Goddess.”After Aslan left, Harriet turned back to Heinrich. He was clearly deep in thought.“Do you have something you want to ask your stone again?” Harriet asked him.Heinrich sighed and started to loosen his tout posture. “Actually, may I borrow the device for a day?”Harriet held her smile and
