Reed Jace prepared the high-quality tea recently bestowed upon them by the Emperor, brewing it in a jade teapot. The fragrant aroma of the tea filled the room as Reed poured a cup for Ethan Caelan and respectfully offered it:“Your Highness, please enjoy the tea.”Ethan lifted the teacup, took a sip, and smiled slightly, savoring the exquisite flavor of the finest tea from Helios. He said softly:“Sit down, both of you, and join me for tea.”Reed and Leo Grant hesitated before sitting down beside Ethan, each taking cautious sips of their tea while expressing their concerns about Ethan’s new position.Leo broke the silence:“Your Highness, the title of Grand Academician may sound prestigious, but it is merely a title without real power. You will spend your days in the Imperial Academy, engrossed in compiling books and teaching, as if you were trapped in a gilded cage.”Reed nodded in agreement, his deep voice tinged with concern:“Your Highness, as a prince, this position seems beneath

Lucian, still unwilling to relent, whispered close to Ethan’s ear with a mischievous smile:“You are very beautiful, Ethan. I like you a lot.”His breath brushed against Ethan’s ear, sending an involuntary shiver down Ethan's spine, a feeling of repulsion rising within him.After saying this, Lucian stood upright and leisurely moved to his seat on the left, right next to Ethan.Valerius Evander entered the hall, resplendent in a golden royal robe adorned with dragons and phoenixes, exuding the authority and majesty of a sovereign. His radiant presence and sharp eyes scanned the hall.Standing at the highest step, Valerius spoke with a commanding voice that echoed throughout the hall:“Today is a day of great celebration for the court. We gather to rejoice in Helios’s glorious victory over the foreign nations. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the civil and military officials. You have united as one, contributing to our grand cause. Tonight's banquet especially honors the four great g

In the dark, amidst the noisy chatter, no one noticed someone had fallen into the water. There were only a few people on the boat, aside from Valerius, Lucian, Dorian, and a guard rowing the boat. Everyone was stunned, and Valerius called out: “Ethan! Ethan!” The surface of the water was entirely still. In his previous life, Julian Pierce was an excellent swimmer, but in Ethan’s body, falling into the cold water, his entire body felt frozen. Despite trying to swim to the surface, his limbs were stiff, unable to move. As the boat drifted further away, Ethan lost consciousness, his body gradually sinking into the icy water.Each passing moment was heavy with tension. Valerius Evander anxiously watched the still surface of the lake, searching for any sign of Ethan Caelan emerging. Unable to wait any longer and convinced that something terrible had happened, Valerius prepared to jump into the lake but was stopped by Lucian Evander."Brother, be careful! This could be a trap. A prince wh

Valerius Evander gently ran his hand over the delicate, exquisite features of Ethan Caelan’s face. Though still pale, there was an enchanting allure that made him linger.Valerius Evander stood there, dazed for a moment, then muttered to himself, “I must leave now. If I stay any longer, who knows what more outrageous things I might do?”With that, Valerius decisively stood up and quickly left the room. Meanwhile, Ethan remained completely unaware of everything that had just transpired.That evening, Valerius, burdened by a tumultuous heart, sought solace in the Lunar Pavilion, the residence of his favored consort, Livia Dawnfire, hoping to forget the stirrings caused by Ethan.Consort Livia Dawnfire came from a prestigious lineage. Her father was Duke Alder Dawnfire, and her brother, “Wind and Cloud General” Elias Dawnfire, along with other family members, held key positions in the court. The grandeur of her family reflected in her confident demeanor and the way she carried herself wi

The food was swiftly removed. When Reed Jace returned, he carried a bowl of freshly brewed medicine, the rising steam filling the room with the pungent aroma of medicinal herbs."Your Highness, it's time for your medicine," Reed Jace said respectfully, his voice filled with concern as he approached Ethan Caelan.Ethan glanced at the bowl, attempting to lift his hand, but his strength had waned, and his hand trembled slightly. Seeing this, Harrison Ryder quickly stepped in, his voice firm, "Let me handle it."Reed hesitated momentarily before handing the bowl to Harrison. "Your Highness, the medicine is still hot. Let me cool it for you," Harrison said, his eyes focused, as he scooped a spoonful and gently blew on it, his demeanor both tender and attentive. Harrison's evident care for Ethan surprised Reed and Leo Grant. They exchanged meaningful looks, silently wondering when the general and the fourth prince had become so close.Suddenly, the voice of Cyril Stone, the eunuch, broke th
