Adelaide had risked her life in exchange for playing the role of the Duchess, but she never had any intention of loving Klaus.

He was a Northern noble with an elegant facade, yet lacking in any true nobility. Dealing with such a Duke was always a source of embarrassment for Adelaide, who had lived her whole life as a noble lady.

They were merely using each other. So there was no way that this could be love, just something as insignificant as that.

“You mean something to me.”

The more she fell for him, the deeper she fell, everything became a mess. Like an uncontrollable fire.

“Do you have any value other than yourself?”

Klaus sharply rebuked her with his lips against her throat.

“I want everything from you, even your very breath. How is this not love?”

“You’re completely insane…”

She was different from the other girls who always approached him. She was silent and indifferent. It was as if she didn’t exist, yet there were traces of her everywhere.

Bai Lu calculated every step she took, carefully in control of the pace. Neither hot nor cold. Like a shadow.  

She said: “You knew that you are different.”

Xu Hui smiled humorlessly, his body shifting. He sat up straight. The smile on his face had not dissipated. He said nonchalantly, “How so? Do I have two heads?”

Bai Lu’s voice fell lightly on Xu Hui’s lashes, “You know that it’s so easy for people to fall for you.”

Xu Hui froze. <<less

Can jianghu wanderers ever refrain from messing around?... more>>

The turbulence of the world fostered us, whose existence upon joining jianghu going by as quick as a blink.*

"In this world where war erupts throughout, jianghu is a cycle of vengeance and retribution. You either persist, or you perish."

Many years ago, a young Chu Xiwei who recently joined the sect was chilled to the bone by those words he happened to have heard.

Seeing that his young disciple was scared quite enough, Ye Fusheng leisurely sipped his tea, "What I just said is pure nonsense."

Every young chivalrous individuals joining jianghu would happen upon one martial art scroll or another. Ye Fusheng was so often tricked by this preconception in his younger years that when he got older, he decided to hoard other people's scrolls.

“I’m weally…”

I thought I was dead. But when I opened my eyes, I found myself back on my birthday nine years ago.

“Am I seriously five years old now?”

Momentary confusion amidst the inexplicable regression. If things go as planned, Solgren will perish once again, and so will I.

To avoid a dreadful fate, the only way is to bolster my father’s, Duke Herwin Solgren’s, influence to resist against the emperor.

Yeah. If Dad protects me, I’ll be fine! That’s all there is to it… except for one little problem.

“Cough, cough…!”

My dad is too frail.

What should I do?

* * *

Herwin silently drew his sword. The blood dripping from the blade belonged to the assassins scattered in the corridor.

“Sloppy.”

“I suppose this will suffice.”

As rumored, Herwin was ‘known’ to be frail. A sickly Northern duke so weak he couldn’t even leave his bed, let alone his chamber. But contrary to gossip, Herwin was strong. Overwhelmingly so, capable of facing multiple assailants alone without breaking a sweat.

"I don’t remember anything at all."

A faint 30 on the wall. Tinnitus rang in her ears.

"Were you the first to wake up?"
"That seems to be the case. Unless someone is pretending to be asleep."

The man next to her looked away from the people and replied quietly. Then, he was about to say something, but closed his mouth and stared. The clicking sound of the lighter suddenly ceased.

"What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?"

When she asked quizzically, the man finally spoke after a long while.

"It feels like we know each other." <<less
