“Who?” “Curious? You must be dying to know, since you’re so damn obsessed with me.” “Yeah, so go ahead. Who did you run away for? Risking the possibility of losing your heirship if you didn’t come back?” “Aww, honey, are you worried about me?” “It’s not worry. It’s called curiosity. Who are you looking for?” Lestel’s green eyes narrowed as he suddenly leaned in close. Sharhan nearly flinched hard enough for his heart to leap out of his chest, almost punching…- 264.3 K • Completed
- It had already been hundreds of years since the fall of the ancient empire. About a hundred years ago, the emperor of the time officially announced that all the monsters sealed in Luhas were dead. The citizens of the empire, who had secretly feared the monsters might break free one day, rejoiced. “It was the Lord of Luhas who made the report that the monsters were all dead. The imperial family never actually sent anyone to confirm it.” “You’re saying the Lord of Luhas might have…

- The awkward silence was broken by an urgent knock at the door. “Master! Are you alright?” It was the coachman’s voice. Only then did Sharhan, who had instinctively stepped back, return to his seat. Lestel opened the carriage door. “What is it?” “I’m sorry. We were almost there, but an addict ran into the road, and we had to stop suddenly. Are you unharmed?” Beyond the open door, an addict was being dragged away by the gambling hall’s guards. Around gambling dens, it was…

- “You’re insane…” “You should’ve checked the contract properly. You can’t just stamp it without reading, especially not a magic contract.” “……” “Honey, protect me with your body and soul, alright? If you do a good job, maybe – just maybe – I’ll be so moved I’ll tear this up for you.” Lestel waved the untouched copy of the contract. Simon must’ve slipped it to him earlier. As long as that parchment existed, Sharhan was bound by the contract to guard Lestel.…

- “Ah, so you ran away… Wait, ran away?” Lestel nodded, taking a slow sip of tea after savoring its aroma. His relaxed demeanor was infuriating, and Sharhan shook his head in disbelief. What is going on? Why does he keep spouting nonsense? But it wasn’t nonsense. “It’s been about two and a half years since I ran away, so I might’ve already lost my heir status.” Lestel’s expression remained as calm and unbothered as ever. Sharhan’s jaw dropped. Lestel was the heir, yes, but…

- To Sharhan, there was an arch-nemesis destined by fate, not just since childhood, but from the very moment he was conceived. And that person was the man standing before him now: Lestel Ailun. Sharhan frowned as he stared at the ever-smirking Lestel. Just looking at that smug face that made him instinctively want to punch something, how long had it been? They’d parted ways when Sharhan left the academy after receiving news of his family’s misfortune. That made it three years. Still the…

- Chapter 1: Verden “You want me to take on a bodyguard job?” Sharhan, who had been dragged half-asleep to the Verden branch of the mercenary guild, stared blankly as he repeated the question. Still groggy, he wasn’t even sure he’d heard it right. “Yeah.” “Bodyguard as in… protecting someone?” “Exactly! You just have to keep the client safe. Easy job for mercenaries like us who make a living with our bodies!” Abel grinned and gave Sharhan a wink as he slung an arm…

- The question of why they were meeting an informant at a gambling hall was soon answered. “Oh ho, pretty ones really do flock together. A beautiful lady arriving with a handsome merchant, she must be…” Just as the man was eyeing Sharhan up and down and trying to make small talk, Lestel kicked his chair. The man, who nearly toppled over with the chair, only chuckled as if he found it amusing. He looked to be around thirty, wore rings on every finger, and had earrings, bracelets, and a necklace.…

“Pop!” The bottle cap of the soda twisted off with a soft sound. That historical drama was already on its second episode. He’d missed a bit of the plot. When Zhou Langxing asked if they should rewind, he said it didn’t matter. Zhou Langxing set down the remote, and casually remarked, “You were in there for so long. If I didn’t know you went to the kitchen, I’d have thought you fell into the toilet. I was even thinking whether I should go look for you.” Qin Yan ignored how lame the…- 132.6 K • Completed
Chapter 62 – Flower-Lined Paths and Willow-Shaded Lanes Vengeance! Vengeance! That single thought pounded in Yan Xin’s chest like a second heartbeat. The Yu Jue Guard had once told him, no matter how storm-wracked and dark Yingzhou became, as long as a spark burned within one’s heart, one could endure any bitter cold. But Yan Xin knew well—what burned in his chest now was not the flame the Yu Jue Guard spoke of. This was the fire of hatred, fierce enough to consume his entire being. In…- 450.2 K • Completed
