"Ah, get a grip, Celena, you're blushing like a schoolgirl..."Celena's cheeks were aflame as she splashed water on her face, whispering to herself, "Get it together, Celena. Why do you keep thinking about this stuff..."Despite her self-scolding, her heart raced with the thought of the intimate evening ahead with Liam, a mix of thrill and shyness overwhelming her.An hour slipped by after Celena emerged from her bath and clad in the pajamas she had picked out. Leaving the bedroom, her eyes could not help but drift back to the bed, then a sea of rose petals, and her face flushed a deeper shade of red.With a bitten lip, Celena edged closer to the bed, her soft hands lightly tracing the smooth white comforter, her cheeks hot with a shy heat.Seven years ago, she and Liam had shared a closeness, but back then, drugged and in agony, she had blacked out from the pain. When she came to, she faced nothing but scorn from the Stone family and their ilk.Later, carrying Jovie and with Lia

Bathed in soft light, Celena was a vision in her black pajamas, her skin luminous, her cheeks flushed, each gesture radiating an irresistible charm.Liam could not help but gulp, then decisively took her hand, guiding her toward the bed.Without a word of protest, Celena let him lead her, arriving meekly at the bedside.Her heart raced as they drew closer. They had barely sat down when Celena abruptly stood up without waiting for Liam to speak.However, her nerves got the best of her, and she nearly took a tumble. Quick as a flash, Liam caught Celena in his arms, and they both collapsed onto the bed strewn with rose petals. Celena found herself sprawled across Liam in a compromising position, her mind reeling, her cheeks flaming red. "Liam, you... we..." she stammered, pushing feebly against his chest, trying to get up. However, her nerves betrayed her, and her attempts were futile. Liam, affected by her squirming, let out a low grunt, his breath quickening. Celena froze, too s

By now, if Liam could still resist, he would not be a regular guy."Babe."With a soft call, Liam gently took Celena's arm, and with a swift move, he was on top...Soon, it was the following morning.Liam's internal clock was like clockwork. As he opened his eyes, he looked down to see Celena nestled in his arms, a soft smile gracing her lips.Celena was sleeping soundly, her face snuggled into Liam's chest like a contented kitten, rubbing gently, lost in a peaceful slumber.Watching Celena's enchanting face in sleep and her clingy gestures filled Liam with an overwhelming sense of joy.Just then, the phone on the nightstand buzzed to life.With a gentle motion, Liam slipped his arm away and checked the message. It was from Calum.[Sir, there's trouble in Athenapolis. The king calls for you urgently!]The message was brief, but it turned Liam's expression stern. Without a second thought, he sprang into action, quickly getting dressed and freshened up.In under three minutes,

A chill flickered in Liam's gaze as he reminded them softly, "Remember what I said."Though it went against their pride, Calum and the others surrendered their weapons to the major general.Liam, too, relinquished his weapons, surrendering them to the major general. That included the military dagger he always carried and the ornate Green Dragon blade that hung at his waist—all of it was handed over. Only after everyone's arms were surrendered did the major general salute Liam once more. "Sir, your vehicle is ready. Please, board the car," he said with due formality. Liam followed the major general's gesture and saw the military sedan already waiting at the curb. His eyes narrowed, a frosty gaze sweeping over the car and then back to the major general before he strode toward the vehicle. "Sir." As Liam walked past, the major general called out, stopping him. He leaned in close and whispered, "Sir, Elder Norton instructed me to pass on a message: follow the king's instructions

Liam chuckled at the king's words and cut to the chase, "So, what's your game plan, Your Majesty?"The king looked up at Liam with a booming laugh. "Hahaha, my boy, you haven't changed a bit—always in a rush. I haven't even laid out my whole plan..."Liam's eyes stayed glued to the chessboard, his expression serious as he watched the game unfold. "Your Majesty, we soldiers live to serve our country. We're not schooled in the art of politics. If you have a strategy, please lay it out for us. We're ready to follow your lead."The king's hand, poised with a black piece, hesitated—whether from Liam's words or the unfolding game, it was hard to tell. He spoke, "Given the current state of affairs, this move is quite the gamble, and I must say, quite unexpected!"Liam, it's been ages since our last game of chess. You've really sharpened your skills."The king paused, eyeing the chessboard before casually tossing his black pieces back into the box. "Enough, we'll leave it at that," he dec
