The Artina family, reputed for their integrity, didn’t fit well with the word ‘bribe’, but the knights, always thirsty for the young lady’s love, ran to get a basket of madeleines.
“Our young lady’s first bribe of the New Year!”
“Hmm. These are wellmade madeleines shaped like shells. Satisfactory!”
Enril couldn’t lose either. The young dragon let go of Undine’s tail, flew to the garden flapping its wings, and came back with a flower in its mouth.
“Here, a pretty flower that resembles my sister.”
“You little thing. You sure have a way with words. Good!”
Agares gently placed a finely crafted pumpkincolored tiara on Evelia’s head, a relic of an ancient kingdom.
It seemed to be a quite valuable treasure in the human world and was mentioned in various books, but from Agares’ perspective, there was nothing more valuable than Evelia.
Evelia, wearing the tiara, raised her chin pretending to be dignified, and crossed her short legs. However, her still short legs could not be properly crossed and they were just loosely placed.
“Ahem. How is it?”
“If you wish, I shall establish a kingdom or an empire for you, my majesty.”
Agares smiled, placed his right hand on his heart and bowed.
When the foolish ones claimed a sense of intimacy with his younger sister, a disgruntled Arkan lifted Evelia up and sat her on his lap.
“What’s our little one’s New Year’s resolution?”
At that question, everyone in the reception room perked up their ears.
Evelia’s wish was everyone’s wish.
Whatever would be said by that little mouth would become the goal of the Artina family for the next year.
“I’m in serious thought right now. I don’t know how to live the new year.”
Everyone gathered in the reception room broke into a clear laugh. What grand plan could an eightyearold kid have? Eating, sleeping, and playing were enough.
“What do you want to be when you grow up, Eve?”
Cedric asked again with a twinkle in his eyes.
‘When I grow up? As an adult?’
She hadn’t thought that far yet. Evelia slightly tilted her head.
As the silence lengthened, Arkan, holding Evelia, offered a few choices.
“You can become the head of the Artina family like dad, or you could become the head of the Bertashan family, which is mom’s family. Or you could be a spirit sage in the royal family like mom… No, forget about this one. Anyway, whatever our little one wants to do, your big brother will help you.”
It was a declaration filled with no small amount of meaning.
If Evelia wanted the position of the Artina family head, Arkan would step down without hesitation.
He had no desire to compete for the position with his precious little sister. Without his sister, any position would be like sitting on a cold blade.
‘Umm, what do I want to do?’
She tilted her head in deep thought. Everyone was focused on Evelia’s contemplation. The little girl dreaming of her future was adorable.
‘If our little one orders to bring the underworld, I’ll have to cut off Baal’s neck right away.’
“If our daughter requests to collect all the jewels in the world and make a jewel path, then we must do so.”
“If our little lady desires the neighboring kingdom, we must immediately set off to conquer it.”
“Even if our sister wanted my cave, I could give it to her.”
Regardless of any absurd wishes, the Archdemon, Hugo, the Knights, and the Dragon, without hesitation, decided to follow.
“I am….”
Evelia, who had slightly opened her mouth, tightly clenched her fists and declared as if she had made up her mind.
“My dream is to live leisurely!”
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…
