"In the end, even though it's already night, no one seems to realize our presence here," Oliver Sablecrest said as he sipped on the freshly brewed chamomile tea from the makeshift equipment in the barn building. "Honestly, what you did earlier only made it more difficult for them to find us, Lady Swiftwind."Serena snorted in annoyance. Her eyes were covered with a layer of black cloth, and both her hands were tied behind her back. The palms of her hands, which were injured, still stung. But she wouldn't regret what she had done—yet."Ah, it's boring talking to you," Oliver grumbled. "You remind me of that Nyxshade boy. When you think about it, you two are quite a match. A boy who's lost his title and wealth, with a poor Earl's daughter. Wow. Truly the dream couple of this century, huh?"Now Serena rolled her eyes, even though Oliver couldn't see it. "I really can't believe it," Serena grumbled. "Is that all you think about when it comes to women? That someone's life is only about mar

Serena paused, her fingers momentarily loosening their grip on the knife handle before tightening it firmly. She took a moment to steady her breath, calming herself. Then, she looked at Oliver Sablecrest before her, hidden behind the face of Kieran Nyxshade."Wow," Serena smiled. "I must admit, sometimes I really do want to hit Kieran."She moved forward, agilely dodging Oliver's sword swing aimed at her head. Progress, Oliver was no longer holding back.Serena surged forward again, spinning to Oliver's side. The man groaned as Serena's hair brushed against his eyes. Serena quickly took advantage of this, climbing onto Kieran's back, who was not as tall as Julian and much thinner. Then she pushed Oliver until he fell backward. But he managed to stay on his knees and threw Serena forward. Serena landed on the ground, gasping for breath.Oliver swung his sword again, and Serena rolled to evade it. She quickly got up, feeling slightly dizzy. But she resumed her attack. Suddenly, the door

Nobody could understand Kieran at this moment, not even himself. He could feel the revenant inside his blood boiling with anger as the knife plunged into his body. And as his blood and consciousness dwindled, he could feel its curse creeping out from the deepest hole. It controlled him with rage, hatred, and agony.He could hear the curse screaming out names he didn't recognize, saying, "I want your blood. I want your blood." Until at some point, he couldn't hold on any longer, the revenant inside his blood had sat on the throne of his consciousness, taking over him.The revenant pulled the knife out of his body, as if pulling out a thorn from the tip of a toenail. Kieran could feel the wound healing and the pain he felt subsiding significantly. But the revenant was not satisfied."Queen's bow and arrow," whispered the Revenant in a heavy and cold voice. Eliora's beautiful diamond-clustered bow appeared in Kieran's hand instantly. He could see the arrow that appeared between his finge

After successfully putting three bags of corn in Julian's car trunk, Kieran straightened his body and heard the horrifying creaks from his backbone. Julian, who had just arrived from home and put two bags of potatoes on top of the corn bags, laughed out loud."You can destroy thousands of dead souls, but almost pass out carrying three bags of corn?" Julian asked, then wiped his face with a handkerchief.Kieran's mind flew back to a few nights ago when he lost control and accidentally killed his enemies. He still haunted by the regret of that day, although no one blamed him for it.As if reading Kieran's mind, Julian gently patted his shoulder. "The incident that day was unavoidable," Julian said, smiling warmly at him. "At least you did it to protect the lives of thousands of Rainvale residents. And look at the stack of harvest they gave you..."Julian pointed to a neatly arranged pile of harvest bags on his grassy front yard. Kieran shook his head smiling at the thought of how diffic

A few days ago,In the Queen's Palace, Frostwyn North, in the realm of Varidianth.It was Elios Silverlake's first visit to the Queen's Palace in the northernmost region of Varidianth. Just a year ago, before the tragedy of Umbravale unfolded, Queen Varidianth still resided in her palace in Remirer. A classic-style palace with numerous towers and surrounded by high walls, earning it the name Ruby Citadel. It was within these walls that Seraphina and Dravon spent their childhood.However, since the tragedy in Umbravale, Queen Varidianth decided to relocate part of her government to Frostwyn, the furthest region from the Kingdom of Valorthorn. Not only in Frostwyn, but specifically in the 'north' part of Frostwyn, which consisted of icy mountains. Thus, the palace was built right at the foot of the mountain, in a position seemingly impervious to attacks from the Kingdom of Zyronox and other realms. However, according to Elios, such a position only made it easier to be cornered."Her Maj
