Night arrives swiftly in the city of Rainvale. The overcast sky never seems to fade, so by evening, the entire town is draped in darkness. House and building lights flicker to life one by one, their colorful glow reflecting in puddles on the asphalt streets. From the small window where Kieran stayed, the view resembled a beautiful oil painting.Kieran dons his long coat, then briefly checks himself in the mirror to ensure his appearance is in order. His attire looks neat, his hair recently combed; overall, he appears quite handsome.Wait a moment. Why is he paying attention to his appearance like this? It's not because he's going to meet that peculiar postgirl, right? Annoyed, Kieran tousles his hair with his hand. Who said he's excited to meet that girl? He's just coming to inform them that he rejects their offer to join the guild. Nothing more.While putting on his shoes, Kieran glanced at Lunabelle sitting on the sofa, enjoying biscuits with a glass of milk and listening to a talk

As Dravon descended from the horse-drawn carriage and set foot on the porte-cochère of the Silverlake residence, the wind blew so strongly, tossing his hair and palace cloak. However, unexpectedly, the Silverlake residence appeared grand and luxurious, resembling a palace. With tall and large buildings adorned with beautiful architecture and genuine gold embellishments on the walls and ceilings. Not to mention two statues of women holding a bouquet of flowers used to welcome guests on the terrace. Dravon realized every inch was made of gold, diamonds, and various rare gemstones. Compared to the Silverlake family's residence, the Lotus Palace was truly nothing."I fail to understand why Princess Silvanna left everything she had in Valorus for the city of Umbravale," Dravon muttered as William joined him. "I fail to understand why she endured being the Crown Princess when my brother didn't treat her well. With wealth and status of this magnitude, she could have married a Crown Prince fr

The night before.The lights in Lord Grand Duke Elios' working chamber were seldom lit, but since the arrival of Miss Silvanna's coffin, they consistently glowed. Lord Grand Duke Elios returned home and never ventured out of that working chamber again.As a servant with six years of tenure at Silverlake House, Lana found herself not truly acquainted with Grand Duke Elios, unlike her fellow servants accustomed to Elios's eccentric work habits. Lana, however, is entirely unaccustomed. She yearned to be the one who serving tea and meals to Mr. Grand Duke Elios, offering blankets, and gently reminding him to rest. Unfortunately, those opportunities remained elusive, as her duties were confined to the task of dusting the walls.Lana understood that her thoughts about The Grand Duke should be restrained, yet observing his conflicts with his parents over the funeral arrangements, she couldn't help but feel a sense of compassion. Particularly when the Duke's own parents, Lana's superiors, orch

Tonight, the sky hung heavy with clouds over the city of Rainvale, causing the ground around the forest to be muddy, and the air damp and cold.Amidst the towering pine trees, Kieran Nyxshade ran swiftly. His boot-clad feet occasionally stomped on puddles, splashing mud in all directions, including onto his attire.In the darkness, his holy sword gleamed brightly, while his cursed sword was barely visible. As Kieran spotted a dead soul soaring toward him, he leaped and spun in the air, sword extended. His blade sliced through the dead soul perfectly, causing the demonic creature to burst into a cold puff of smoke and dust.For a moment, Kieran stopped and took a sip of water from his bottle. After drinking enough, he leaned his back against a pine tree and pulled out Eliora's diary. He wrote the number thirteen in a table and smiled. It seemed Serena was right. There were indeed more dead souls wandering to the west of Rainvale."I'm so tired," Kieran gazed wearily at the overcast nig

When Grand Duke Elios Silverlake returned to the manor, Lana had just finished cleaning one room. She was quite slow because she had to first find cleaning equipment, and believe it, it was a painful moment as all the cleaning tools in Nyxshade Manor were strange and resembled robots! Lana had no idea how to use them at all. So, she had to clean the room with a cloth. After this, Lana really wanted to swear never to follow her young master again. But she knew it was impossible for a loyal servant like her."Good job, Lana," Master Elios said, placing a food package on the table. It made Lana wonder when was the last time he had a meal that wasn't prepared by the Silverlake family chefs? It must have been a very long time because she couldn't remember. The Grand Duke went straight to the bed and lay face down on it."Thank you, Your Grace," Lana said. "I'll go clean the next room."Master Elios immediately lifted his head and looked at Lana with a surprised expression. "What do you mea
