Contract Marriage with the Devil Duke (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 80
The Saintess’s power that emitted light was truly mystical and beautiful. Many people wished to see it up close, yet Crown Prince Regalis wore only an indifferent expression.
Regalis stepped in front of Daphne, stopping her from going any deeper.
“This is far enough. Wouldn’t it be exhausting for you, Lady Daphne, to keep using your sacred power since early this morning?”
Daphne knew all too well that he wasn’t genuinely worried about her. Regalis was merely anxious that she might reach the room where Podeon was bound. Still, his anxious expression was far better than his earlier indifference—at least it showed some emotion.
Through her prophetic dream, Daphne had been able to tell the priest exactly where the room holding Podeon was located.
By now, the priest might already have knocked out the knights guarding the door and rescued Podeon.
Of course, it was a risky move. Regalis might suspect her once he discovered Podeon had vanished.
Yet, setting aside all other concerns, Daphne simply couldn’t bear the thought of Regalis marrying Orentia. If it had been some ordinary woman without sacred power, she might have wished them well without resentment.
Newspapers had been running daily articles comparing her own sacred power as the Saintess with Orentia’s, who had vanquished demons.
“In the end… is it really just inferiority?”
She’d never thought such feelings would ever arise in her, but apparently, even a Saintess was still only human.
Daphne forced a faint smile and said to Regalis,
“It’s one of the few Purification Days in the year, so I must illuminate every corner of the Crown Prince’s Palace. That is my duty.”
Of course, she intended to leave Podeon’s room for last—only then could he slip away unnoticed amid the ensuing commotion after being freed from his bindings.
Faced with Daphne’s firm words, Regalis stepped back. He couldn’t possibly stop her from purifying the Crown Prince’s Palace with holy light.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
