The young man rose from his chair. As he stood, the faint light from outside the room illuminated his young face, which looked to be in his twenties, making Ronan think even harder. "Wh-who is he? Have I seen this young man before?" Unconsciously, Ronan continued to back away.

"Why? Why did you stop? Come on, continue! Drain my power if you want it," said the young man, approaching Ronan.

“Y-you … ” Ronan was at a loss for words. The aura the young man emitted was so strong it felt like it was choking him. "Tell me who you really are."

Instead of answering, the young man quickly reached out and grabbed Ronan by the throat.

"A lowly old man like you dares to ask about my identity? Disgusting!" The young man casually swung his hand, still choking Ronan, to the side.

Bang!

Ronan's body slammed into the wall. But before he could think of his next move, the young man was already right beside him. His movements were incredibly fast.

The young man yanked Ronan's hair roughly, forcing the old

    Seraphina, who had been afraid that the lord's arrival was to punish her, could now breathe a sigh of relief.“Do you think that girl is truly special?”Claus's question resolved Seraphina's curiosity. Without needing to be more specific, she knew who the lord was referring to. It was none other than Elara.“I can say that her internal energy surpasses all of us, including Aston! However, regarding the special power you mentioned, I cannot confirm it yet!”Claus said nothing. Slowly, he walked back to the sofa in the corner of the room. If someone had been watching him, they would have seen that this young man was deep in thought.He had indeed ordered Seraphina to find this special girl a year ago. When he almost thought that such a girl did not exist, Aston found her. At that moment, Claus felt two conflicting emotions in his heart.“So, the prophecy is true!” the lord murmured. “A girl with a special power who can control someone’s mind! An amazing power!”Hearing Claus's last two

    Aston furrowed his brow. “You’re a man?”The figure speaking to him looked too beautiful for a man. His face was white and clean with red lips. His eyes were perfectly round. If Aston hadn’t heard Claus’s voice, he might have thought the person in front of him was a woman.The question made Claus look slightly offended. “So what if I’m a man? Can’t a man have a beautiful face and a sexy body like mine?”As he said these words, Claus displayed gestures as graceful as a woman’s.“Hahaha! Weird! Truly weird!” Aston couldn’t contain his laughter. “This is the first time I’ve seen a man as weird as you!”Claus stared at Aston sharply. He never had any problems with Tybalt’s son. However, what this second man said had really offended him.“Watch your words before I lose my patience with you!” Claus’s gaze was sharp, and Aston felt as if his neck was being choked by an invisible and very strong hand, making it hard to breathe. “I will forgive you for what you said. But if you say it again, I

    Claus rose from the sofa and walked slowly towards Elara. "My dear, allow me to guide you!" He extended his hand, offering it to Elara. The girl accepted the offer by placing her smooth palm in Claus’s."Your skin is so soft," Claus remarked. "And you are truly very beautiful. If we lived a hundred years ago, I wouldn’t be surprised if people bowed down to you and regarded you as a goddess!"As he said this, Claus continued to guide Elara to sit on one of the sofas. At the same time, Aston, who didn’t want to deal with this strange man, quickly got up from his seat. However, he didn’t move far from Elara.Elara only smiled awkwardly. Since she didn’t know Claus, she didn’t want to be rude to him. If she could be honest, she would say that Claus was quite a unique man. His face and body resembled a woman’s, beautiful and sexy.However, there was one thing that surprised Elara. She could read the thoughts of everyone present in the place.“Don’t listen to that weird man! He’s just tryin

    Aston’s words didn’t just shock Seraphina; nearly everyone present felt the same way. Not only were they surprised, but they were also deeply offended by the young man’s remarks.“Young man, you’d better take back your words and apologize to Lord Claus right now!” One of the black-cloaked men, the one in the middle who had remained silent until now, appeared very angry. Aston hadn’t only insulted the Fontaine family by refusing to serve them; he had also harshly referred to Claus as a strange man.“If you don’t, you’ll experience the power of our master!” As he said this, he took a few slow steps forward, approaching Aston. Seeing no reaction from Claus, he was confident his master had given him permission to act against the unethical only son of the Alnwick family.Seraphina glared at Aston angrily. “You…” She clenched her fists, struggling to contain the immense irritation in her chest. However, she quickly turned to the black-cloaked man for a moment before rushing towards Claus.B

    “Driver!” Elara screamed in her mind. She still remembered whose voice it was, a voice she deeply missed but at the same time wanted to avoid as much as possible. Elara had strong mental powers that allowed her to hear that voice.And indeed, it was Darrin’s voice whispering from afar. Seeing how powerful Claus was, he knew he couldn’t face the man directly. Darrin had to make a plan.“Then what should I do?” Elara replied in her mind. “This man is terrifying! His power is incredible! I can’t just stand here without giving him the answer he wants!” Elara pressed Darrin.But before the girl could hear any response from the young man, Claus’s voice snapped her back to reality. “My dear, I believe there are no objections or rejections from you, right? I’m sure you won’t disappoint me!”Claus asked very calmly, a wide smile on his lips. However, the strong aura this man emitted made Elara understand that the lord was showing her his power. “Even his friendliness radiates such a strong aur

    As Alexander wished, the next morning, very early, a convoy of cars was seen entering the gates of the grand Hayes family estate. There were at least eight cars of various makes and models. One common feature of these cars was that they were all luxury vehicles.When the black sedan at the front stopped in the courtyard, a middle-aged man stepped out from the back door. He was Denis Perry, the wealthiest entrepreneur in the Haven district.Following him, a woman in a white dress who still looked beautiful despite nearing fifty also emerged from the car. This woman was Mae Perry, Denis's wife, also known as the mother of Haven's people due to her kindness.After them, the young man who was the pride and envy of Haven’s girls and young men, David Perry, stepped out. David was the young man who was supposed to be Elara’s driver two days ago. However, the girl ended up meeting Darrin and mistaking him for her driver.David exited the car, adjusting his suit. A broad smile played on his li

    David forced a smile. It wasn’t that he was in a rush to meet Elara, but he knew the girl had never seen or met him before. David was just worried that she wouldn’t like him.“Your parents are right!” Alexander now spoke. His face looked a little more relieved since he didn’t have to come up with excuses to explain his daughter’s absence. “You can meet Elara whenever you want! Let her rest for now!”After talking for quite some time, the main event finally commenced. Since Elara was not with them, Alexander represented his daughter to put the ring on David’s finger. Meanwhile, the young man could only show the ring he brought to Christine. “Mrs. Hayes, I can’t wait to put this ring on Elara’s finger. But for now, I’ll keep it safe.”Christine nodded with a smile. “Of course! What matters now is that you’re officially Elara’s fiancé!”David nodded, smiling. So did everyone present. Elara’s absence did not dampen their happiness.Just as David put the ring box back in his jacket pocket,

    Elara kept urging Darrin to come into the house quickly. On one hand, she was annoyed because Darrin seemed to be playing games with her. But on the other hand, she breathed a sigh of relief.She had learned that Darrin was a cultivator. Last night, not only could Darrin communicate telepathically with her, but she also saw that the young man had immense inner strength. Not as great as Claus's, but not far behind either.Knowing this, Elara's only worry about being close to the young man vanished. She didn't need to worry that she would hurt Darrin if she ever lost control. “I'm sure he will be able to help me control my inner strength,” she kept thinking.Despite continuously urging Darrin, she still hadn't seen him show his face. “What are you really thinking?” Elara thought again. “Come here right now! Be an obedient child for once by not making your parents wait!”“Elara, since you're here, you should put this ring on David's finger.” Alexander took off the ring he wore on the rin

    Darrin nodded. "I understand, my queen."The way Darrin answered made Helena blush again. She was now confident that she could give the item to him.Once the earring was in his hand, Darrin removed the green gem that was its pendant and attached it to his Moreau necklace.Green and red light emanated from the necklaces, reaching as far as the clouds and piercing them.At that moment, a light appeared from behind the clouds. Moments later, a female figure, adorned in gold from head to toe, smiled at him. Darrin immediately knelt down, for the woman's features indicated that she was the Moon Goddess Fenrisar had described."Since you have completed your first trial, accept this as your reward." The goddess raised the golden staff in her hand, and a golden ray descended to the earth and merged with Darrin's body.The goddess then vanished. But Darrin felt something strange happening to his body.He raised his hand and saw it transform into water, fire, earth, air, and all the elements of

    "Why? Why are you doing this? No!"Splash!Darrin's scream faded as his body fell into the water. But the scream continued to echo in his heart even as his body began to sink to the bottom of the lake."Why did you sacrifice yourself for me? Why didn't you let me do it for you?"Darrin felt completely devastated. Not only because he had failed to protect the princess, but also because he had failed to protect his other loved ones before."Why does everyone close to me have to suffer such a tragic fate? Why can't I protect them?"The regret and grief grew stronger in his heart as his body sank deeper into the lake.At the same time, he felt his chest tighten and it became difficult to breathe. It seemed that Helena's plan to save Darrin would end in failure, as the young man's weakened body made it impossible for him to use any internal energy or technique to help him breathe.Darrin understood this, and it only deepened his regret."If only you had gone into the lake instead, perhaps

    "Greetings to you, Mother!" The Dark Knight could not contain the joy in his heart as he saw the young woman rise from the ground and look in his direction. "I-I know you may not have expected us to rouse you from your slumber. But..."The Dark Knight did not hesitate to reveal his intentions to the young woman who was, after all, his biological mother. "We've been going through a lot of trouble lately, and we need your help."The Dark Knight continued to pour his heart out. Although it had been a long time since he had last spoken to his mother, he was not embarrassed to say anything."Mother, there's one more thing I want to ask you. It's about the position of Prime Minister in the kingdom. Since I'm the one who woke you up, would you be willing to give me that position?"All this time, the Dark Knight had seemed obedient to Theobaldus, or even to his nephew Nicolaus. Yet deep in his heart, he held a grudge against them."But I hope you don't misunderstand. I don't want the title. I

    Spurt!At the edge of the lake, Darrin vomited large amounts of water from his mouth after Helena had pumped his chest several times. After that, it was clear that Darrin was gasping for air, as if he had run out of oxygen. But he still couldn't open his eyes."Darrin, wake up!""Wake up, Darrin!"He faintly heard a soft and melodious voice in his ear. At the same time, a gentle hand stroked his cheek.When Darrin finally managed to open his eyes, he saw a beautiful figure sitting right in front of him."Your Highness..."Helena was no longer wearing the leather mask that had sunk to the bottom of the lake. With her hair and clothes still wet, she looked exceptionally beautiful."Thank goodness you're awake!" Helena couldn't hide the happiness on her face as she saw the young man begin to open his eyes. Darrin might not be able to see it, but the feelings in the princess's heart for him had grown much deeper and stronger than before.Earlier, when Helena had seen Nicolaus about to hit

    When Hector left Arcadia, he probably never imagined that his plans would change so quickly. Originally, he intended to take the vial, give it to Darrin and leave. Unexpectedly, he lost Darrin sooner than he expected.And after seeing the cold form of Queen Marielle lying in the coffin, it was as if he could see the end of the world through her. This sight only strengthened his resolve."All right, one more time!" Hector had made up his mind to destroy the vial. No matter what he had to do, no matter how great the sacrifice, he would do it.Catching his breath and releasing his right hand that had been held by his left, Hector tried to rise from his sitting position, preparing for the next attack."Don't even think about trying that again, because I won't just stand by!" Nicolaus pointed his finger at Hector's face from the other end. Apparently, he was not ready to give up so easily either. "I will destroy you, or vice versa!"Both men had suffered severe injuries to their right hand

    The incident threw the top of the tower into chaos. The mages immediately rushed to the stairs and descended hastily. Meanwhile, the soldiers below stood on alert. They did not approach the top of the tower, nor did they dare do so without Nicolaus' orders. But they were ready at a moment's notice."Darrin!" Hector shouted, clenching both fists. He knew how devastating the strike of a cultivator at the peak of the King level could be when unleashed at full power. As he had just witnessed.On the other side, as if Hector's presence meant nothing to him, Nicolaus rose from his kneeling position, clutching the vial in his hand. His face was dark and expressionless. As he moved toward the coffin, he himself opened the grandmother's mouth."Nicolaus, I beg you, at least listen to my explanation!" Hector fought to control his anger, trying to speak to the ruler of Green Island with a cool head. "I don't want to force you to change your mind, but please listen to me."Nicolaus lifted his eye

    Nicolaus asked gently, a smile on his face. His demeanor naturally made Helena feel a little more at ease, allowing her to speak her heart without fear."Yes, Your Majesty. I am very worried that he won't be able to cure them without this medicine. Therefore, I would be very grateful if you could spare a little for him."Helena spoke with bright eyes, as if she was doing something very important for herself. But at that moment, her face suddenly tensed. "Oh no, what did I just say?" she thought to herself. "I made a huge mistake!"And just as she had feared, Nicolaus' face turned red. Extremely red."My God, what will happen now?" As she thought this, Helena could see the change in the king's expression. It was clear that he was suppressing his anger."So it's true what I thought," Nicolaus said in a trembling and frightened tone. "The one in your heart is that bastard, not me! So why did you deceive me with your sweet words?"When Helena accepted Nicolaus' proposal and agreed to marr

    Nicolaus said nothing but lowered his head."Nico, tell me, is this girl the one you're looking for?" Theobaldus shouted, anger and frustration evident in his voice.On the one hand, they had lost the potion, and the position of the full moon in the sky had shifted. Even if they found the potion and revived the queen, it would still be a grave sin for them.On the other hand, he was furious with his nephew for being so blinded by love."You sacrificed the future of the kingdom for a girl? Since when did you become so weak?"His anger made him forget the rule of not speaking ill of anyone in this sacred place."Tell me, are you...""Yes, I am looking for her, uncle. I really am," Nicolaus shouted back.He hated himself for being weak because of his feelings for the girl. But deep in his heart he believed that Helena was really there."I didn't just hear her voice. I could smell her scent. I'm sure it's the same scent I smelled this morning!""What?"Suddenly, Theobaldus jumped. Not bec

    The chanting of the mages grew louder as the full moon crept a few degrees from its perfect alignment above the tower. They continued to recite a birthing spell, hoping for the best in the queen's resurrection.After nearly half an hour, the mages suddenly shouted in unison, "Queen Marielle is heaven, and she will bless us forever!"Their chant echoed throughout the island. A second later, Nicolaus, Theobaldus, and all the soldiers guarding the area shouted the same mantra. "Queen Marielle is heaven, and she will always bless us!"When the echo of the voices died down, the moon was directly above the tower, illuminating the face and body of Queen Marielle as she lay in the glass coffin.Nicolaus and Theobaldus rose from their positions on the floor and approached the coffin."Greetings to you, Mother. Queen, ruler of the universe, and grace to the world." As he spoke, Theobaldus kissed the queen on the cheek.At that moment, there was a stark contrast between Queen Marielle and Theoba
