‘But she’ll praise me for doing well.’
Thinking that way made the dirty feeling somewhat better.
“It just means I don’t have much expectations for you.”
“Talking about expectations to an enemy is amusing.”
“It is amusing. That’s right.”
Ah, he was truly kind. Teaching one by one, answering even to a guy who didn’t want to talk much, and even responding to him.
Indeed, couples become similar to each other, and he must have been influenced by Roo.
Hayden subtly avoided Carlos’s attacks that passed by his ear.
A massive amount of snow poured down where they were standing.
However, the terrain and environment did not become a significant obstacle to the wizards’ fight. Hayden and Carlos skillfully avoided the avalanche while continuing to exchange attacks.
“Since when!”
Carlos asked as his strength rose.
“When the hell did you become the Northern Sage!”
He was incredibly offended by the fact that he didn’t know that.
“I’ve been the Northern Sage since Sophia Clarice died.”
“I’ve never heard of a story that a Northern Sage was born in the imperial family!”
“What’s the point of talking about that?”
Did that mean among the countless Belera royal bloodlines brought to the laboratory, there was a Northern Sage? But Carlos still couldn’t understand. How could he not know that?
“How could ‘I’ not know that?”
Of course, Hayden was originally strange.
He survived alone in the laboratory, but there wasn’t anything particularly new about him, and he endured how long he could endure in front of the barrier, but eventually, he couldn’t survive and disappeared.
Ah, just one thing. The fact that he caught the attention of Rustica Genesis’ eyes was special.
But still, even so, how could he not notice the Northern Sage?
“…Sophia Clarice left without saying anything.”
Hayden applauded.
“You did well to figure it out on your own.”
It would be better to ridicule than to be indifferent. When someone looks at you with a gaze that looks truly pitiful and pathetic, sighs in frustration, and has an attitude that says they won’t understand, it makes you angrier.
Carlos finally lost his sanity due to the philosophers who couldn’t be caught no matter how much he tried. Or perhaps he regained his sanity and made the most advantageous decision for himself.
“As expected, I’m different from you.”
Hayden saw Carlos’s hand clench into a fist. It seemed like it was the beginning.
“Different. If I understood you, I would be on the same level as you, but I can’t understand you.”
“Oh, really? I can’t figure out why the hell you believe in and talk big like that.”
Honestly, Carlos had left the curse of Rustica Genesis until the very end.
That was a card that should not be used lightly. It was a crucial card, the precious card that would put an end to everything.
But after his nose burst and his jaw turned, he kept hitting it so much that he wondered when it would be the last time.
He squeezed Roo’s skull until it made a cracking sound.
She clenched her teeth, inserted the sword, and stepped back under Ophelia’s protection.
It would be nice to show it in front of him, but Carlos was undoubtedly absorbing Hayden’s power through the curse stuck to Roo. So, he must know.
“If you don’t want to see Rustica Genesis’s head explode, retreat right now.”
Retreating meant the beginning. He would probably demand more Southern land by squeezing his neck, and then he would ask to give up the protection of the Western sage by taking away his eyes.
Carlos barely felt his head turning. That’s right. This was it. He forgot that he was swayed by the flow of all this war.
“Ah, in the end, it comes to this.”
Hayden said heavily.
“You can’t endure even a little pain from that woman.”
Carlos knew it too well. Whether he was driven crazy by getting hit so much, or whether he had been crazy from the beginning, the laughter flowing through the blood was frustrating.
“I can’t endure it.”
The one who knew it would eventually come to this nodded with a bitter expression.
“Lift the curse right away.”
Carlos fell onto the snow with a thud after shedding the connection to the power in his body. Was it Rustica? No. His face turned pale blue.
“Or watch the wall disappear, and your power inside it vanish completely.”
Hayden precisely cut about 5 meters of the wall in front of the Cathart Castle, and those who were trapped inside found complete freedom.
In threats, there are threats, and in hostages, there are hostages. Hayden put everything on the line.
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…
